Classic government strategy. When the victims complain about poor government performance, turn them into criminals.

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.

There was no poor citizen performance. There was police incompetence. There is a difference.

Shortly after that, saturation patrols were sent out in Tacoma to go after law abiding citizens that dared warm up their cars.

The important thing is that the complaints by the citizens that were getting their cars stolen stopped, because now they are in the county lockup. A fine example of LE coming to the rescue.

You are not doing your brethren any favors by talking like this.
