Really! Can you point to a link that says that.
A gift wrapped present for BLM.
Taking a pic is a process one must actively engage in. It is not an involuntary reflex. If an LEO is too stupid to understand that posing for such a pic plays directly into the hands of the BLM movement then he isn’t smart enough to carry a badge and a gun.
Obviously you didn’t read the story.
What drove your incorrect assumption?
Ar least he did not pose with a foot on the perp, like he was on safari....................
Not guilty on *any* criminal charge that might be lodged
One dollar awarded to the mother in any civil suit that might be filed...and her lawyer must take his fee from that $1.
The cop is suspended,without pay.for a week.
a couple of decades ago we had a regular at our poker table who was a fire fighter in the Chicagoland.
he had a shoe-box full of Polaroids and pictures of horrible grisly things. He delighted in suicide photo’s that he had taken, gunshots to the head and jumping off overpasses and into traffic stuff (and fatal car accidents). He just loved showing any new ones he had, he literally carried that shoe box with him in his car (he had dozens from the flight 191 crash scene as well).
He and others (cops and other FFs) posed regularly in those pictures, often with silly props.
This was before camera phones and stuff like that. I never really knew what to make of it, on one hand it was disgusting, but on the other hand, there was a morbid curiosity when he had new photos and a tale to tell.
“Gallows humor” is ok in emergency rooms, war zones. grave digger details and at crime scenes. Just don’t take pictures of it.
Exactly! A misinterpreted action pulled out of context? And who the hell posted the image publicly? Whoever posted the pic will be found D-E-D dead!
Really? How many pictures like that have you seen? I’ve never seen one, other than this.
Shame on you.

Thank you... That was my initial reaction - but I clearly have no emotional investments in the deceased and his kin.
The question is...who took the photo and what was the intent in taking/keeping/sharing that photo? The individual behind the camera was apparently present for some reason too.
Police used to like having their photo taken with a dead perp. Often an entire sheriff’s posse would pose beside the shot perp showing all the bullet holes in him.
Even the police in the 1920s and 1930s posed with dead gangsters.
I don’t see much problem here. I was a firefighter and saw some brutal stuff. You have to take it in stride and part of “dealing” with the pressure is “whistling past the graveyard” action. Where did this photo come from? Was it just a screen shot of a body cam? Without seeing before and after I’m not going to jump on this cop’s case.
Who will kill him?
If he strapped him to the fender, then we’ll talk.
I don’t see any “wrongdoing”, but I see one stupid cop. They should know by now they’ll be attacked for any reason the left (and their lawyers) can find.
The dead man was already dead when the cops got there. There was no shootout.
The cop did a stupid thing. You seem to be just as stupid. Appearances are everything. Don’t bruise your ass falling off your high horse.
Read the article, soycd. It was not an active shooter situation. It was an already cold and dead-from-a-drug-overdose situation.
I understand that now. Anyone willing to kill themselves is willing to kill a peace officer. I side with the law and understand the violence involved.
