Look the bottom line fact of the matter is that we truly are ALL FALLEN SINNERS. You don’t have to be religious to realize the truth of this.

The line between good and evil runs through every human heart. Some famous guy famously said that, but I realized it one day just standing on the NYC subway at evening rush hour when I was going home from my job.

This is why these essential issues of human life go on forever. And any commie, or puritan, or technocrat, or tree hugger, or anyone who comes along with some Utopia based on “people being good” is a charlatan, no matter how much of a well intentioned True Believer they might be.

We are sinners, living in a fallen world. After centuries of striving we came up with some systems that worked pretty well. We made miraculous technological advances that brought much, if not most, of the world out of starvation, if not poverty.

And now there are amassed our own leaders who are trying to destroy all that.

And the cop in this story is ON THE WRONG SIDE.

Perhaps that’s why we have PEOPLE instead of ROBOTS manning the cash registers. People should be able to discern that something isn’t quite right and attempt to display a bit of humanity.

You take a wrong turn and end up on my property - you’re now trespassing. How would you like to be treated for making an honest mistake?

Shit.. I live in Loveland when I’m not in the Philippines.

Guess they both have similar police forces...

Hope Loveland had to pay out a shit-ton for this.

Same where I worked, here in the U.S. Different stores might have different policies, but we were told shoppers aren't stealing until they walk out the door with the merchandise. On video, this woman appeared to be walking through a garden center when she was stopped, so technically, she'd walked out the door. No excuse for the way she was treated by police, though.

i think you misunderstood my post friend.

In an earlier post I decried that it is the policy of huge mega corporations to call the police for every infraction of the law.

I also stated that a Mom and Pop store with employees that worked their for years would have known this woman for years and would have known her family.

A Mom and Pop store would have known that she was forgetful and would have asked her to come back in to the store and work out the problem or called her family to come and take care of the issue.

I personally try to patronize locally owned and operated stores and businesses for just those reasons.

What is wrong with these cops? Aren’t they human?

Perhaps not.

According to Dr. Clarissa Cole fully half the people she failed on the required pre-employment psych eval were hired anyway.

Fully half.

These cops are likely tested and proven psychopaths with badges, guns and lethal authority over the rest of us.

Some day some attorney is going to demand the psyche eval results of a "rogue" cop...

Is she being left unsupervised?

My mom has dementia. One of the few things she seems to enjoy is going for rides. She finds going into stores distressing. So yes, I occasionally will dart into a store to pick up an item or two without her.

Does that count as leaving her unsupervised in your mind?

Would our local LEOs be justified in dislocating her shoulder and breaking her collar bone? Not in my mind. How about yours?

But why can’t we keep the sadists out?

Dr. Cole: "My son, he’s the son of my buddy, his dad is a cop, he has to be a cop, he’s going to work in this county and we’re really understaffed, we need people, we know he failed, but it’s OK." The amount of excuses I heard to employ people.

The communists have planned and orchestrated the pro-cop/anti-cop controversy for years.

Did communism make Philip Brailsford murder Daniel Shaver? Lon Horiuchi murder Vicki Weaver while holding her child? The ATF burn children alive at Waco?

"Law enforcement" has been doing this for a long, long time. How about black slaves and freemen being accused of crimes? Did they get fair trials, or any trial at all (hate bringing it up, but it's the ugly truth)? They were doing this before communism started to infiltrate deeply.

I think if you have exited the store’s doors without paying for the merchandise in your possession that would be considered shoplifting

Worth brutalizing an elderly person with dementia?

“The complicating factor is that the communists have been trying to divide our populace into those who support police and those who don’t. So again, we first get rid of the communists.”

Agree 100%

And these 3 asshats exemplify the very reason some people think all cops are bad. So how long have they been engaged in this behavior? How many others knew and did nothing to rid the force of them? I usually support law enforcement except when they collectively, go about protecting clowns like these. Want to improve the image of cops? The good cops need to stop protecting asshats.

Not all wastedyears.......mine never did in 30 years and I’d like to think they’re not all like that in that tape.

Even if fired, they will be hired by some other police department.

Reminds me of a dos[atch call I heard on the Ventura Sheriff net years ago. A call from a woman came in about a strange man in her house.

Calls from several deputies came in on hearing the address:

That is her husband, she has dementia.
