How about waiting for an INVESTIGATION and a TRIAL???? I have faith that the TRUTH will win out......
AmmoLand is a great site for keeping up with Second Amendment and firearms news.
This article was a good one, too.
Speaking With Sheriff Chris Brown About His Refusal To Enforce Red Flag Laws
https://www.ammoland.com/2019/10/speaking-with-sheriff-chris-brown-about-his-refusal-to-enforce-red-flag-laws/
i remember when elliott ness and the untouchables were on that gmen didn’t shoot unless shot at...
now adays there is too much preemptive shooting... and no knock warrants.
In this case the officer’s body camera video has been released. The officer broke several laws, never identified himself and skulked around the property. Then shot the resident, who was legally allowed to be there and to be armed, quite dead. Again, without ever identifying himself. The officer acted like he was serving a no-knock warrant on a drug den when he had been tasked to perform a simple welfare check.
And I agree with everything you said.....it sounds like to me a “cluster” you know what. He did wrong, I just hate to see some officer tried and convicted in the press. That’s all I was trying to say.......
I just had an awful premonition.
Police will “request”, for your own safety, that you tell (register with) your local precinct that you have guns in the house. That way a responding officer may not immediately freak out and kill you.
But what about the thesis of the article and the topic at hand: the proposal for policy and training changes? Should armed private residents be generally perceived as deadly threats?
This is a potential downside of bodycams, yes.
Thing is, though, in the past, when some officer was being ‘tried in the press’ it was with less than perfect evidence. Witness statements, circumstantial evidence, etc. When you have a bodycam, there’s usually no way to argue against what it recorded (if it could see what happened).
With that in mind, is it *really* someone being tried and convicted in the press? Or is it just simple reporting of what the bodycam recorded?
How much of the problems, not just in policing, but in every aspect of our lives, has been degraded by Affirmative Action? One can’t help but suspect that police just aren’t as qualified, trained, or in tune with their communities as is necessary to accomplish their jobs.
The officer was white. Affirmative Action had nothing to do with his poor behavior.
And when the dispatcher states to the officer there are arms in the house, he’ll be more likely to shoot.
Affirmative Action has EVERYTHING to do with not just a decline in policing, but in all aspects of our lives. When less qualified candidates are accepted, training and expectations are lowered to meet the now reduced expectations.
It's just like on college campuses. Everybody suffers while intellectual deficients are catered to.
re: “Firearms Policy Coalition”
Is this another one-man, one-room with a fax machine “watchdog” operation?
“ How about waiting for an INVESTIGATION and a TRIAL???? I have faith that the TRUTH will win out......”
The truth is that in Ft. Worth a police officer shot an innocent woman to death without any legal justification whatsoever. He failed to announce his presence, failed to announce that he was a Police Officer, and he fired the fatal shot as she was looking out her window.
He deserves a very, very long prison sentence.

Go do your own research.
Novel idea, eh?

Go fish.
“Go fish.”
Arrogance, laziness, and rudeness all in a single package. How very efficient of you.

I took you to be playing a game of “Old Maid.”
I ain’t got any, the answer therefore is still “Go fish.”
“I took you to be playing a game of “Old Maid.”
Dull, too. Very, very efficient.
