This thread is a good example of why JustinCredible should definitely not shut the site down and it is worth while to stop by occasionally.Belly35;1719879 wrote:Many wrong don't make it right...
Let count the wrongs and maybe add some:
Guy get out from his car ... Officer should have never let that happen ( where was back up)
Out of his car and then was tasered ... I think not, maybe tried but missed (where is back up)
Guy takes off running ... (where is back up)
Catches up with him and does bring him to the ground .... Standard operation run you're go to the ground (where is back)
Guy take off running again ..... How far can a fat ass run (where back up)
From the start this was not going to end well for both.....
I'm not defending the officer but here is a situation where different protocol should be used....
In today society and with the disrespect for the law and those the enforce the law, the brashness of criminals, minor offenders and crazy behavior ...
Police departments and Communities needs to understand the potential issue police protection and enforcement, the cost will be high but two Offices per car patrolling is a must. Another option is back up with every traffic stop…. Until the situation is under control.
Third option would be volunteered, trained Civilians Police Assistant Observers. CPAO
Licensed CPAO individuals, that monitors police, ems, fire calls, when in an area shows up to assist the situation as an observer ( CCW trained, ex military, cop, fire or ems) only to assist if required… Sound crazy but the more people in our society that are will to get involved the less crime and less situation like this will happen.
One other point: How many time have we hear this ; ran because feared going go to jail for some other meaningless crime… Time the legal system start to clean up the minor crime and make the punishment harsh, quick and effective.
Back child support …. This should have been handled long before someone is dead.. and another for murder.
It is always entertaining when, even when there is clear and convincing evidence with little room for debate (unlike other recently similar incidents) that a government agent killed a citizen with impunity when the folks who persistently rant about "teh gubmint" over in the poli forum go out of their way to turn the tread into a lecture about personal responsibility and respect for the law and authority, etc.
I've seen some pretty crazy things in my life but that video - with that cop so calmly and deliberately unloading into that dude - was utterly chilling. It makes me sad.
