Pointing out the error of poor citizen performance is turning this man into a criminal?
Not really. If he was turned into a criminal he would have been arrested and either out on bail or sitting in a jail somewhere.
But you know what is typical?
Cop Haters and others of the sort, overreacting to an obvious honest mistake that is at least partially the blame of the victim and claiming "a police state" (as I have seen on this thread) because a man was placed on the grass.
Reminds me of Tacoma a few years ago when people were complaining about their cars getting stolen in their driveways while they were warming them up in the winter, and the government response was to outlaw warming up your car. Problem solved. The bonus for them was they no longer had to chase the bad guys.
Hey Thanks! Thank you for giving an excellent example of how the Cop Haters will eventually demoralize the police into becoming less effective. No doubt that if the police actually walked onto people's driveways or stopped everyone driving out of their property to seek identification so as to be able to arrest car thieves, the Cop Haters would be attacking them for doing exactly that and turning America into "a police state".
What do you think life will be like when the police are demoralized for a thankless job and start showing up hours or days later to a call for help?
If that is caused to happen then you will hear plenty of criticism of the police from me, but after I first rub the faces of the couple dozen Cop Haters into it.
