In left-wing Los Angeles, where defending oneself with a firearm is strictly frowned upon by the upper crust (after all, thats what highly paid body guards are for) it has now been decided that police officers must run away like frightened children rather than challenge anyone brandishing a deadly weapon. In short, officers of the Los Angeles Police DepartmentAngelinos first and last line of defense in the MAY issue, concealed carry license State of Californiahave been instructed to allow armed lunatics to go their merry way, attacking defenseless citizens, before confronting and threatening them with potential harm!
Such was the decision last month of the Los Angeles Police Commission, a 5 member board appointed by the mayor. Composed of individuals with NO law enforcement experience, the Board of Police Commissioners "...is the head of the Los Angeles Police Department. They set the overall policy while the Chief of Police manages the daily operations of the Department and implements the Boards policies and goals.
The Boards policy decision came about after a female suspect, armed with an 8 to 9-inch knife, charged at officers, repeatedly ignored commands to stop, and was recorded yelling shoot me as she swung her knife from side to side. Both the officer whose life was being immediately threatened by the suspect and his partner, standing just a few feet away, shot her after she had rapidly closed the 70 foot distance between them and her blade to just 3 feet.
And no, there isnt any dispute over the facts of the case. The Board agreed that videotaped evidence proved everything had happened in exactly the way officers had described.
So why would the Board demand that the officers involved be charged criminally, claiming quite incorrectly that they had violated department rules for the use of deadly...
People, somehow, survived without the ability to call the cops.
Let's do that again and see what happens.
They would rather have dead victims, than risk another riot.
This is exactly the “Ferguson effect” that every liberal social science professor on the planet denies is real.
Police will be more than happy to avoid dangerous situations—they get the same pay-check either way.
Hopefully the Korean Shop Owners will pick up the slack.
This will only get worse. BLM wants police free zones, DOJ is bent on federalizing police by expanded consent decrees...what’s next? Completely disarmed police who have to rely on the NOI or NBPP for backup?
I predict a large number of policemen will move to states where they are supported; rather than let the criminal run rampant .. AND KILL THEM.
The checks will cost 1/4 as much and will show up faster.
The terrorists won when 0 was elected for the first time.
With all due respect to police departments, the courts are pointing out that police protection is not a constitutional right.
Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone
But thatt why the Founding States made the 2nd Amendment, so that individual citizens could arm themselves to provide their own police protection.
And for their next act the left-wing Los Angeles will make looting legal.
If the police have come to fear what will happen to them if they do their job and protect citizens from criminal attack, what do you think will happen to an armed citizen when he is forced to shoot one of these criminals in self defense?
As were the police in this case charged with murder for shooting an armed attacker, so too would the armed citizen be charged with murder. The Police Union will provide attorneys to defend police officers, but the armed citizen will have to drain his bank account of any savings he might have or mortgage his home to cover attorney fees unless he’s an NRA Member and has NRA endorsed liability insurance.
If you’re armed and prepared to defend yourself and your family with deadly force, do yourself and your family a favor and get NRA’s liability insurance.
Where’s Bill Parker when ya need him?
Did you inform the teller that you would be changing banks?
As a logical result, police should stop protecting all government appointees and elected officials. We will see these policies quickly reversed.
Lol, my little country bank has country music playing when I walk in, beautiful western decoration inside, coffee and donuts, knows me by first name and turns themselves inside out like a sock for me on all things.
This is why, even though I live 65 miles away, I continue to use them after 40 + years.
All big banks and city banks I hang up on when they come calling. So, with respect sir, find u a small country bank nearby. My bank is not the exception for a small Texas bank in a small town, it’s the rule.
Yes, we do. Don't let the damn pansies and pajamaboys in Big Media and Big Government fool you.
Where indeed.
Some people don’t have debit/or bank cards for ATM access and some people don’t know how to go beyond email and computer games or even have a computer.
Complain loudly!!
