Are you a jackboot or just an Apologist?

Are you his wannabe groupie?

"Hope you funeral is as fun."

Me too! I might not even attend if it isn't.

Well at least they didn’t turn it into a high speed herse chase or para military raid on a funerl home. Can we give ‘em that?

Don't give these idiots any ideas.

Some thoughts:

“Barricaded” can conjure up the image of a bug eyed loony hiding behind sandbags and boarded up windows, sometimes it is simply LEO speak for “they wouldn’t answer the door when we knocked”.

Timing: Don’t know the LEO motivation for doing this when they did. Maybe they thought it was the only time when they knew the when and where on this guy, BUT it was still a horrible idea to do it the way they did. Funerals are highly emotionally charged settings, grabbing someone at a funeral could have led to a violent response by the mourners.

UC officers: Undercover LEOs frequently dress like street thugs to blend in, it can be easy to mistake them for common criminals

These guys messed up big time. What they did was stupid and they endangered the lives of themselves, the suspect and everyone else at the service. This could have turned out a lot worse if someone thought they were robbers/gangbangers/murderers and picked up the dropped sidearm (time for weapons retention 101) and engaged the officers.

Don’t try this at home kids.

I hope you're not a cop.

If you are, you haven't got what it takes and should leave the business for something else.

[Mojave]

I hope you're not a cop.

I hope you're not a perp.

"With a cavity search and a Black Sheriff."

You are one sick, racist puppy...

[Mojave]

You don’t like Black cops?

Wait until they determine that ex-wifey lied and just wanted to cause ex-hubby some legal grief.

Honestly, he agreed to "surrender" after planting dear old dad. What is it with some of these LEO's?

They stuck on stupid?

I really do think I know the answer.

[thefactor]

do you own a gun?

do you think that modern guns can actually go off if they hit the ground?

[Mojave]

Honestly, he agreed to "surrender" after planting dear old dad.

And before.

[Thumper1960]

He’s envious of those big LEO billyclubs.

[Thumper1960]

And the answer is to perform their Keystone Kops idiocy whilst the casket is being inserted into the hearse?.......

There is no denying those particular LEO's are disgraces to the uniform and galactically stupid.

They should have perp walked him as soon as they spotted him.

"You don’t like Black cops?"

I don't like perverts. Sounds like you ought to go register yourself..
