I'm old enough to *clearly* remember black & white TVs and dial telephones.In my life I've been in a vehicle that was stopped by the police three times.The first two,in which I was the sole occupant of the car,were when I was in my 20's...one resulted in no consequences for me (short and uneventful) the other resulted in me getting a moving violation ticket (which I fought in court...and won).
The third had my sister driving and me and my young (early 20's) nephew as passengers.It was on I-95 and a Virginia State Trooper pulling us over.My nephew,although he's very smart,has Aspberger's Syndrome and is a basket case when it comes to real life situations.I had to remind him several times as the trooper walked up to the car that neither he nor I should make a single move while the cop was there,that we shouldn't make a single sound and that we both should keep our hands in plain sight.
And during the trooper's encounter with my sister Bill and I did exactly that.
Bottom like...the trooper was very courteous and professional,my sister was polite and reasonable,and the whole thing took less than 10 minutes with *nothing* untoward having happened to any of the four people involved...except that my sister got a speeding ticket
Bottom line...I'd like my kids to avoid waving *any* kind of gun around while drunk (even a harmless one).
The kid was stupid,at least one of the cops was stupid, and it's that collective stupidity that created "the perfect storm".
So you think ‘waving a gun around’ justifies being executed like a dog?
The officer was on a ramped up power trip, with ‘You’re F#cked’ etched in his AK. He treated the perp like subhuman scum, proving he was not trying to diffuse any situation, but quite the opposite, make things far worse so he could justify his power trip and get to execute another human and walk away scott free. This wasn’t a case of a volatile situation, the office could have EASILY walked up and cuffed the perp multiple times. Why didn’t he? Because he wanted it to end the exact way it did. Getting to execute another human.
What do your anecdotes about “B&W TV” and your behavior toward police have anything relevant to do with what I asked? I respect officers, and have never been treated differently. I’m not blanketing blame across all police departments. I’m calling out this murderer, his Cheif, the judge and jury who let this psycho walk to kill again.
Why would you defend him?
