When are public servants, particularly LEO’s, going to undergo drug testing. Especially for steroids.
Yes but did the officers make it home safely?
Damn, these cops should have arrested alec baldwin.
Murder. And there will be no prosecution.
Too bad I'm not allowed to ping an enthusiastic police defender anymore.
I tire of the lies in these reports.
“Hillstrom was having some sort of psychotic episode”
Cops didn’t just decide to beat a guy to death for no reason.
Maybe they were fully over the top and need prison. Maybe the attempt to stop a psychotic lead to his death and the cops acted professionally.
But to claim no reason is BS.
Communist agitprop has always been to make cops the enemy, so I am skeptical about all these blanket easy condemnations.
Not that cops don’t abuse their position and commit police brutality, but the goal of the Communists and left has always been to slander police and any institution of social order as much as possible to cause mistrust and fear among members of society.
It would be nice if the article had identified University Place as next to Tacoma. I wasn’t sure if this was DC or Washington state.
Does this make him crazy, or prescient?
Sounds like what happened to the homeless mentally ill man in Albuquerque. But in this case, they shot and killed him though his weapons were two small knives and it was all caught on the police lapel cameras.
Warning graphic video —
Turns out he was right.
Ironically, if he had been a convicted murder with a mental illness he may have been judged ineligible for a death sentence.
LEO frustration over not having a dog to shoot.
My son was handcuffed and had his ankles chained and in the back of a squad car. He called the cops when some other kids were threatening him. (mistake 1) They came, and decided to arrest him. Fine. He was drunk, and mouthy, (mistake 2) but not a menace to anyone, once he was put in the squad car.
After a bit, one of the young cops decided to take him out of the back of the car, and show him how tough he was. He then tasered him not once but three times while he was still handcuffed.
He should have pressed charges, but didn’t. Since then my opinion about the police has changed. I know there are some bad cops, but cops are there to arrest you, nothing more nothing less. If you call them, you better be prepared for anything to happen.
Anyone who uses a taser should be tasered to see how it feels.
cops are becoming the enemy.
It is all part of “transforming” America into a totalitarian fascist regime. This is necessary to create fear in the public so they are compliant sheep.
Hope and Change.
“He was unarmed, but carrying a screwdriver”. Tell you what, you try to subdue a Schizophrenic a carrying a screwdriver. They should have called a mental health professional? LOL
Well, in their defense, there was no dog to shoot.
Ping
I bet Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are organizing a march now!
Oh... wait...
screwdrivers are weapons if used as such. that’s why burglars love’em b/c they stab people with em pretty good.
