When I was a little kid I used to think like you. Then I grew up and had the misfortune to look like some dirtbag. The police then educated me on what power crazy thugs can wear badges.
So forgive me if I won’t cower when some puke issues an order. I saw worse overseas.
It’s just sick that I was safer overseas than in many parts of the USA.
My opinion as a thirty-year retired LEO is what is happening around the country with police hiring and current operation with the loss of veteran officers that are leaving departments in droves is incidents like this that will only increase.
From what I have learned the female officer was a Detective that was put in uniform due to patrol manpower shortages now that the departments have become Woke.
Many departments now are transferring ‘inside’ desk cops and other inside officer positions to patrol divisions.
The problem is, that those pogues - empty holster pay-rollers, have not worked on the street in years and when they did, where placed in administrative positions as soon as they could find someone to be their clout to do so, or that they were so incompetent that the only place for such people was in a non-police position.
Many of those such positions are now being filled by civilians also.
So the result, I believe in this case was a frightened officer working with an inexperienced rookie and having no recent training before being sent to patrol and the result was not unexpected when you talk to veteran street officers.
Wow. That needs to stop. I understand some is in right now. But obviously what they are doing is failing.
