True. And this percentage must be brought back under control by those in charge or the guilt will be at all levels.
Well mannered adults are reciprocated.
Reading comprehension problems? Projection? What?
One morning a few years ago I was leaving my house early before sunrise and saw a pickup truck down the street in my residential neighborhood. I didn’t leave my driveway because I was afraid he would run into me. I was thinking what was this guy looking for. The truck was going down the middle of the street weaving from side to side with it’s lights off. There are enough streets lights do this. As it got closer I could tell they were delivering papers. I assumed they had their lights off to avoid bothering people sleeping?
When I heard the story about the police shooting up the truck I remember what I saw. The reports I heard on the radio were saying Dorner was in a grey or blue pick-up. I thought this was odd because if it was his pick-up registered to him they should know from DMV records. The story I heard that morning was a different patrol spotted the pick-up exiting the freeway and told the officer guarding the house of one persons Dorner had threaten to kill in his manifesto. They were driving toward the house with the person on the list when the shooting happen.
Earlier that morning in Corona, Dorner fired at Los Angeles police officers who were assigned to protect a person connected to Dorner’s threats,
In Riverside police said two of its officers were shot in an ambush at an intersection. One died, and the other was taken to a hospital.
Still before sunrise the same morning is when the Torrance shooting happen. Twice in the last few hours Dorner was believed to shoot at police in the area. I could see why they were hyper-paranoid.
I still think they will loose their jobs, even if it is just to protect the image of the LAPD. They might find some way to take care of them with an other job but not in LAPD.
What I don’t understand is how the truck got pass them so they had to shoot at it from the rear?
Sunrise was about 7:00 AM How could it be broad daylight at 4:30 to 5:00 AM?
From the article: The police wouldnt excuse a member of the public for misusing a firearm, regardless of how stressed out that person felt.
Ordinary peasant (as Officer Porkins slaps the cuffs on him): Gosh, officer - it was just too dark to see if I was REALLY being attacked, so I just shot anyway.

I’ve had relatives on the job continuously since 1952. I’ve rarely encountered the us v them you speak of. I have run into that in Nassau County. What I have seen and what I do not excuse is the belief among cops that their first job is to get home to their family every day. If that’s what they believe they should go sell shirts in Macy’s. Firemen,particularly big city guys like FDNYs don’t have the same mindset. Cops should understand that doing their job in a way that works and is safe requires a different mindset than getting home safely.
I didn't see you complaining. Were you?
Were any of the adults you were raised around well mannered?
I only ask because I don’t see much of you modeling that particular behavior.
I’m open to you pointing out an example where you actually were well mannered.
Go look again.
Where did you see that?
Look up the definition of reciprocate. I don't take sh*t off of anyone, but particularly bullies and liars.
Post it if you have it.
He was told to turn around by one group of cops and was shortly thereafter rammed and shot at by a second group.
Take, perhaps not. Give abundantly, certainly.
RECIPROCATE
To: Alaska WolfI think you are the only person on earth who would defend our betters being trained by shooting at photorealistic targets of children as not very lifelike.
Cant say Im surprised, though.
Aim small, miss small.

Your post, not mine. Prove your allegation. I despise liars.
You asked for me to show you when I was complaining, I did.
I’m sorry to hear about your self-loathing.
