I’m sure when your brother, sister or cousin dies in police custody when it could have been prevented

I can assure you I will blame the people responsible for their own behavior...

If they are stupid enough to consume enough drugs to OD, it will be their fault...and nobody else

I've seen this image posted before here. Looks like more than just a routine traffic stop. Does anybody know the circumstances behind this photo?

Yes.

First the image without the overlying text:

Note that the office is either very happy to see the driver, or he really, really, really finds his job, um, exciting...

The story was reported here

ROSEVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Some residents of a suburban Sacramento city still were waiting to return to their homes 24 hours after a Friday night shootout between law enforcement agents and a wanted parolee left six officers injured.

Roseville police spokesman Lt. Cal Walstad said that one Roseville police officer with a jaw wound and a federal immigration agent shot in the leg remain hospitalized Saturday in serious condition. Four other Roseville officers injured by shrapnel were treated and released.

The suspect in the violent confrontation that ended after an hours-long standoff is a validated gang member with a criminal record that includes assault and carjacking. Samuel Nathan Duran, 32, was taken to the Placer County jail Saturday after being treated for scrapes and cuts after surrendering just after midnight.

"Last night our community experienced what can happen in any when a violent wanted felon is completely committed to not going back to jail," said Roseville Police Chief Daniel Hahn at a news conference Saturday...

With this guy running loose the local and state police were understandably a wee bit antsy...

Reading through the posts, I see that you are asking questions and suggesting alternative possibilities. For that, it is being suggested that you are a boot licker. And IMO, that is uncalled for.

The millions spent may help the people electing the folks that hire the cops vote for better management. An elected person can clean up the police department when it stinks like a pig sty.

There is no good excuse for what they did to that woman.

[SamAdams76]

So the driver in the photo was not the suspect? They were just aiming their rifles at anybody that happened to be driving by?

That's wild.

[null and void]

Correct.

[Shimmer1]

It SHOULD help, but never has helped yet. Millions have been paid, settled, and it still goes on just the same.

[Shimmer1]

The cops can aim at me if they think I have a bomb strapped to me, but they’d better have a damn good reason otherwise.

‘He restrained her for her safety...

That's the equivalent of my older bother telling me to stop hitting myself.

[Jonty30]

Some people don't believe the police can be up to any good, no matter what they do. Some of it is the fault of the cops for having been brutes where it wasn't needed and some of it is that some people are anti-police, period. But I thank you for the compliment. 😊

[TigersEye]

That would explain it. Child abuse has terrible consequences.

[null and void]

Aye. That it does.

Does anybody know the circumstances behind this photo?

freeper cyn did some research a few days ago and came up with this:

Apparently there IS a time for drawing and quartering, and I’m not referring to people medicating toothaches.

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Unless you deal with addicts all the time, you’re hardly in a place to judge them.

You are a drug addict.

There, now I can treat you any way I like and NO ONE can question it. You know, 'cuz they don't deal with addicts like you all the time....

[Chickensoup]

I saw the video and I didn’t see anything malicious on part of the deputy. He witnessed her consuming a pill and didn’t know what that pill was. He didn’t beat her or throw her around or anything else that bad cops do.

The alternative possibility for him, not knowing why the woman consumed a pill was a possible OD.

In this case, I can support the deputy.

+++++++++++++++++++

This is not normal procedure for od in any circumstances. Ever. Taken to hospital and monitored. YOur support is misguided.

[Chickensoup]

So this picture is how LEO treats citizens when looking for a suspect.

The man in the picture was not the suspect.

[Jonty30]

If I am misguided, than she will get a substantial settlement. If what happened is within reasonable, as defined by the law and department policy than she won’t.

[Jonty30]

If I am, as you say, a drug addict, than am I not eminently qualified to say whether I believe that the cop acted appropriately under the circumstances?

Thanks for considering me as an authority on the matter.
