Police are involved in COMBAT now.
Its no longer law enforcement.
“You mind if I take it off you for my safety?”
Way too deferential. Should have been, “Make a move and I’ll shoot.”
This made me sick ... literally. I don’t think it was in this story, but it’s in others:
“Cueva moves around the truck and shoots Officer Jarrott several more times. Cueva then walks up to the helpless officer and fires one more round into the back of his head.”
The SOB was killed later - good riddance & then some.
As a former police radio officer, we called every couple of minutes to see if officers on a traffic stop were 10-4. When there was no answer, it was bad news (stomach lurching, frankly) until you finally did get a response or other officers “going to him” could tell you things were ok. This is the stuff of nightmares for everyone involved.
A Mostly Peaceful™ traffic stop.
Somebody explain to me how any of the gun control ideas advanced by the rats would have stopped this.
Even an outright ban on ALL firearms wouldn’t have stopped this due to the nature of the suspect.
How to resist the urge to put the muzzle in the guys face and clean out the mag? that is the question.
Police have so much restraint, I could not do that job. Thanks be to God that some are better people than I.
Illegal alien drug gang member? We may never know. They may never tell us, just call for more gun control.
