“For $200,000 the cops can terrorize me anytime. These cops made asses of themselves. Too bad the $200,000 doesn’t come out of their paychecks.”
Money isn’t everything. These crazy thugs could have shot two innocent girls who were simply trying to run for their lives from what looked like a rape attempt. It is a shame one of the officers didn’t end up dead. Maybe then they’d learn to restrain their enthusiasm for thuggish behavior. This was insane behavior that should not be allowed.
All this over something as small as under age drinking. And not even guilty of it.
To the LEOs here, what is it with plain clothed cops not being able to understand that you succeeded in your goal? We don’t know you’re a cop. You don’t look like one, and we have no reason to believe you are one. Anyone can shout “Police” and then rape you after you cooperate. Heck, the criminals are learning to do just that. This kind of stupidity can get people hurt or killed through misunderstandings like this.
If you aren’t in uniform, don’t be stupid enough to expect us to know you’re a cop. Especially get crazy aggressive like these idiots. In this situation, these girls had only moments to make the choice on how to react. Moments. Do you honestly expect people to ‘wait and see’ in this kind of situation? If you do, they all you care about is yourself and law. You don’t care about the people this activity can harm.
Well said.
“All this over something as small as under age drinking. And not even guilty of it.”
Exactly. Supposed they HAD bought beer. Is it now OK to shoot people for illegally buying beer?
There were several agents there, they couldn’t have approached these girls in some manner that didn’t scare the cr*p out of them? Is is just lucky nobody was seriously hurt or killed.
It’s like nobody can do their job properly anymore. Like I mean nobody, from the floor sweeper to the POTUS.

Overall good posting, LF! If some a-hole jumps on the hood of my car with a gun as I’m leaving a convenience store he will need some first aid from his spill onto the cement, unless he’s a Bruce Willis-type from some action movie that puts 3 shots through my face first.
