IMHO, the local authorities should ask the protestors which neighborhoods they want police pulled from. No cops for robberies, murders or any other crimes. ...along with not response from the paramedics or fire. Just give us a number to forward 911 and it’s all on you.
All is well that ends well.
The idiot thug is dead and the police officer is alive.
I wonder why the guy didn’t pull the trigger. Did he freeze and almost had second thoughts? I say “almost” because he didn’t have time to have second thoughts before he was shot dead.
In his mind he heard “Maybe I shouldn’t .....BAM! What the hell was that?”
Best back-up. Ex-military sharp shooters.
Well, either that, or "he could have run" away.
Shouldn’t cops be patrolling in pairs in these areas? One patrolman does the talking, the other holds the cocked and locked shotgun or pistol. One talking, the other ready to shoot.
Turnaround boy? Wuz tuwnin hiz life around.
Do you see a pattern forming?
When they finish the toxicology report....I’d like for it to be made public. And I’m ready right now to lay down a bet....he’s got high marijuana THC levels...and probably wasn’t comprehending what he was doing. This act of smoking four or five joints a day and thinking ‘it’s Ok’.....no, you can’t do it without some consequences in between.
The usual suspects are claiming the cops planted the gun, anything to “justify” rioting.
In other words the outcome was - Police Assisted Suicide - PAS
ave this become the police motto instead of - Protect and Serve. End of Life Counseling - Present Gun - Go Six Feet Under.
it just seemed so odd that after the shooting of Antonio Martin , his mother was there to identify the body, than came the explosives and bricks. How long did Antonio’s carcass lay in the convenience store parking lot, before the investigation was completed?
I have three family members who are laws enforcement officers (well, one of them is now retired). It pisses me off to no end to know that there are a$$holes out there who will target them merely because they wear a badge. Their brothers and sisters in blue, and a hell of a lot of us citizens, have their six.
Po old black man hassled by cops just because he used armed robbery, armed criminal action and multiple uses of weapons.
St. Louis and surrounding areas police ought to go the way the NYPD has gone....
