I don’t blame the 4 overweight female cops. They should have shot the shoplifter in the ass. Problem solved.
I suspect 4 in shape healthy men - following department standards - would not have fared better.
Why would any cop risk another George Floyd moment?
[Why would any cop risk another George Floyd moment?]
True - I’m actually sympathetic to that
Yeah, a few years ago they’re worried about my ...... plastic license plate cover.
MEANWHILE a short black guy was robbing gas stations and other stores AT GUNPOINT. He would eventually rob >>>9<<< places.
So ..... we pull over the tall white guy because ..... (rolls eyes)
Can’t imagine why the short black guy did 9 crimes (9th one got him caught)
Oh, sorry, chief. We were involved in checking a plastic license plate cover.
The cops had other options:
—Pepper spray in the face. Most suspects will surrender at that point.
—Everybody take one step back and Taser. The perp had clothes so it may not have worked—but worth a try.
—Get one cuff on—they had one hand under control during parts of the stop.
These female cops were “mailing it in”—a halfhearted effort since they know they get a paycheck either way.
That’s the very problem. One male cop subdues subject, life goes on. Four female cops have to escalate to deadly weapons or lose.
