I believe the officer’s are under the umbrella of the County Sheriff’s Department. It is a county issue.
When there is no accountability fir the action of all involved those involed will smile, shrug their shoulder and go safely home to their families while others are left to bear the pain of those actions.
Ping!
The county government trusts those people to do their jobs with due diligence and are therefore culpable.
Why does the US Military fighting overseas have Rules of Engagement and yet the police do not when using the same weapons on the citizens?
Why is a mother arrested for child engagement for letting her seven year old play in a park, but the police can use weapons of war on babies with no recourse?
is this the country we want?
Have a job, work hard, have property? Then you are responsible. Have nothing but an ETB card or a government job, and then you can do whatever you want!
Keep it up........
All the cops involved went home safely that night. That’s the only thing that matters. Do I really need a sarcasm tag?
Perhaps they need a judgment before they can legally pay. I wouldn’t expect Reason or any other news outlet these days to make an effort to research the facts.
Not so sure that is fair, but this is a Georgia County matter.
As a General printable i think police militarization is nothing more than provoking Americans with the ever increasing reality that the police force is now starting to look and function more and more like a regular army of occupational, rather than an interactive civilian response force.
This I think is a very much un-american if not alarming trend. Police officers are not suppose to act or be armed like military soldiers. Police officers are suppose to be interactive members of the community, not distant and disengaged observers only concerned with their Government’s will, and not the community around them, that is the historic position of a soldiers not a police man.
Thus as our police forces start looking as well as acting more and more like occupying soldiers, they not only become less effective as police officers but more a threat to their community.
Whenever the Local Government is in need of an army they should rely upon the State National Guard. That is no small part of the reason we have such a military force.
There is no legitimate excuse for building an army out of the police force. Police men must know their community personally, not simply carelessly patrol it.
The parents should just say “No habla Inglis” and the county will cover it all.
just wrong.
this is why people aren’t going to help cops in the shtf.
it’s why people assume the cops they are dealing with are assholes. you’ll end up dead if you don’t.
Ping!
Looking like it is time.
