Just because someone disagrees with what a cop does doesn’t mean s/he is a Cop Hater......
I would like to remind you there are no perfect people on Earth, so there must not be any perfect Cops on Earth.........people do bad things and break the law..and that includes cops....
Yikes! Got to assume that was done with something like a box cutter. Hope the person who did it is dead.
BTW, pretty interesting website. I’ll be spending some time there. Thanks for posting (despite the gore).
Hello PNSN,
Funny how the monday morning Sherlock Holmes subject matter experts on (shoot do not shoot) situations, fail to understand that a LEO is authrorized to use deadly force when a perp has the opportunity, the abilty and places his life or another person’s in in jeopardy.
I have found that the FR has an abundance of metro-sexuals, addled fools, limp wrists, reds, marxist and the other usual suspects, posting about things they know nothing about when it comes to law enforcement.
I think they would have preferred the perp to knife all the officers, then blame the NRA and former President Bush.
Keep the faith.
Respectfully,
NSNR
Don’t you believe the Jackboots are always right?
“Officer Smith had responded to a similar call two days earlier, on May 26, when he learned Ms. Williams had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic who had possibly stopped taking her prescribed medication, Mr. Jarbola said.”
Reading problems? When a paranoid schizophrenic stops taking their meds, starts harassing the neighbors, gets naked and starts shouting, screaming and eventually gets a knife........ it’s a fair bet they’re descending into a psychotic episode. That’s what happens when paranoid schizophrenics stop taking their anti-psychotic meds, they become psychotic again.
She wasn’t shot because she was suicidal (paranoid schizphrenics are rarely suicidal), she was shot because she was advancing on an officer with a knife, making herself a threat to him and the other officers.
This is what happens when law enforcement intersects with the violently mentally ill population, somebody dies. This time it was the mentally ill person.
The problem is that the dangerously mentally ill cannot be locked up until after they have assaulted or killed someone.
Liberalism kills in many ways.
However, for many posters here on FR, there are no good cops, and no cops that do any good.
For instance, she came at them with a knife, and got shot+killed for her efforts. Cop haters say that's bad.
If they had used non-lethal force and tasered her, and she fell on the knife....saidsame cophaters would still have the same opinion. If the cops control the situation, get the woman handcuffed, and have her involuntarily committed....yup, the jackbooted thugs are kicking down doors and hauling innocent people off against their will. If the cops just leave the apartment, and later the woman stabbed herself (or someone else) with a knife....yep, same cophaters would be there with "Why didn't they DO something" comments.
Some people are just irrationally dissatisfied.
oh, but wait, IT WAS A TV SHOW!
first things first, the cops lost control of the scene. NEVER let an EDP go near the kitchen!
however, she pulled a knife. sorry, lady, i'm not bringing my fists to a knife fight.
Having worked with people w/psych issues, it only takes a second or two and people can change to an extremely aggressive mode. You can’t talk the crazy out of them. You can’t reason with them. 1 full second later, she could have sliced one of the cops.
Legally, she can curse naked in her apt and piss all over the floor ... you can’t 302 her.
its not like they were waiting for her to charge them. Alright boys get out the net!!
a taser wouldn’t stop her. Remember Rodney King got hit w/ 2 tasers and then beat off 6 cops breaking the ones’ arm ... BEFORE the camera started rolling
I was called a racist yesterday by one of the prodigal verbage fools. Yes, they hide behind their aegis of the computer monitor.
Good to see you on the site and take care my friend.
Sincerely,
NSNR
Well, when the only tool you have is a hammer then thats what you learn to apply to all ‘problems’.
"She's not under arrest. It's in her own home," he said. "The officers - I don't know - they could have assumed she was going to the bathroom.""
So the officers made the mistake of respecting her civil rights?
The problem or mistake is not the officers, it's the law in general and the law in regards to the mentally ill in particular.
Liberalism kills.
“she was shot because she was advancing on an officer with a knife, making herself a threat to him and the other officers.”
In this case that is what happened. Many other times the suicidal person is only a threat to themselves but still get shot. And I’m not referring to suicide by cop.
In one case SWAT was called because a man was inside his home threatening suicide. he was alone but there were reports of firearms in the home.
SWAT did what SWAT does. 369 rounds later the guy was shot, a cop was shot, and a cop was dead.
The guy never had a gun, the cops shot each other.
look at the context next time
No I don’t. They have some major league screw ups.
I’ll call them screw ups when warranted.
As opposed to the other that find a Nazi behind every Uniform, and a rights violation behind every action no matter how insignificant.
“As opposed to the other that find a Nazi behind every Uniform, and a rights violation behind every action no matter how insignificant.”
So why the comments about the cop haters implying that anyone who thinks its wrong to shoot this woman hates cops?
Are we supposed to trust our politicians and other public servants implicitly?
