Somebody needs to listen to their radio communications while they are responding.
It might not hurt if a grown man in a cop uniform and armed wasn’t so frightened of a woman running toward him he had to shoot her with a taser.
NOPE, YOU’RE ALL WRONG WITH THE IMPLICATIONS AND ACCUSATIONS.
All I’m saying is that Big Media likes to foment, and it’s VERY INTERESTING that Racist Big Media is not saying anything about race and made nothing of it in the article.
I’m asking the big WHY — why didn’t this media play the race card?
I didn’t even say or imply she did anything to deserve it.
Wow, such savagery..... I DID read the article before posting.
Your personal condescension was really offensive.
And she would have the advantage of not flinching because of muzzle blast. I am not making a joke.
It does seem a little like the keystone cops in this area.
Just off the top of my head, I remember Seattle cops tasering a diabetic woman who had passed out at the wheel of her car while stopped at a stop sign.
Then there was the homeless, psychotic man who had climbed a tree in Bremerton. A cop was going for her taser to bring him down and instead, accidentally grabbed her .38 and shot him in the leg.
Apparently he didn’t have a dog.
“Fear the cops more than the criminals”
Yeah, in an earlier post on police misconduct someone said that we need to separate the decent cops from the scum. Well pal, here you are, more scum masquerading as LEO’s. This isn’t going to stop until some of these cretins with badges do some jail time for acts like this! But you watch, the City of Tacoma will try to whitewash this matter and the police chief will act like nothing out of the ordinary happened. Maybe liberating a couple of million bucks from the City of Tacoma will get the voters attention. Then again, maybe not!
'Nuff said.
Scary stuff.
The sad fact is that the police chief may be right.
Apparently I’m not the only one who misinterpreted your statement. Shouldn’t we be HAPPY that they did not make a big deal of the color of her skin? Isn’t that the kind of reporting we WANT?
As for insinuating you may be racist in your attitude I apologize — unfortunately it’s so commonplace nowadays for people “on the right” to be accused of bigotry that statements which are unclear, of the sort you posted, only feeds into the hysteria. In my personal experience, even here at FR unfortunately there are a lot of comments that end up being thinly veiled - many of which I think are posted not by “true Freepers”, but by agent provocateurs.
As for my condescension towards you, I apologize that I offended you. I have no tolerance for true “racist” bigots, so I tend to treat them with the same disrespect as they show others. In this case, I was obviously wrong. In the future, it might be a good idea to be a little more clear with what you’re trying to convey.
Go back and read your first post. I found it confusing and thought LR was right to ask what the hell you were saying.
Although he was a little more gracious than I was.
Please note: I was responding to post #18 of yours, and not the explanation you gave later on the thread. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said what I did.
“Isn’t that the kind of reporting we WANT?”
Yes, but since I never trust the media, I want to know why they suddenly went silent on this.
Apology accepted, thank you.
Thanks... I appreciate it. I was beginning to think it was time for me to stop reading and posting today! [Oh, and I’m a “she” - just for future reference. LOL]
Story says she ran at the cops with her arms waving. They though she was about to attack them.
Tacoma’s finest in action, proving their worth.
Sue them.
Who was fighting with her and choking her?
Why was this other person in the apartment?
How was she able to communicate through her special equipment (visual apparently) without interference from this other person?
Would not the other person be visible to the responding location if they were attacking and choking her?
Were any of her injuries possibly from this other person?
Did the police try to locate this other person?
Did the police take this other person into custody?
Did the police reports talk about this other person in any way, such as name, address, relationship, reason for being in the basement apartment?
How did she get up the single flight of stairs so easily without interference from this other person?
Unless I completely missed something, this story seems to be missing a huge amount of information concerning who, what, when, where and why this incident started and this other person just sort of vanishes without explanation?
I'll be interested in additional/followup information if it becomes available.
Two male cops thought a woman was going to attack them? With her waving arms?
Good thing she didn't start barking like a dog.
