The article, which in fairness is not really about the original incident raises a lot of questions.
and you know, I understand that cops find themselves in some jacked up situations, or situations that may appear to them to be that way.
But there are just too many stories about defenseless, innocent people who have done nothing wrong, or even people who may have done something wrong but at not posing a threat at that time, and they are just being killed with impunity by cops.
Just one example: the old man in the nursing home who wouldn’t take his meds. Yeah, maybe he was even a strong old man, maybe he was even out of control, but it’s very hard for me to imagine that the only way to subdue him was to kill him.
And when you think about some of the truly bizarre behavior that’s been discussed, such as examples in New Mexico, where people are taken to hospitals and given enemas, etc. to see if they have drugs up their woohas, it really makes you wonder.
And on top of all this, think of the b*tch of a DA in Texas who was driving blind drunk, but she still has her job as a LEO.
No, something has gotten very very out of whack in this country, and face it, it was never a Utopia.

See my post #68, and read more about what was going on during the stop. It’s one sided, but it’s the best I can find for now.
You are forgetting the one posted just a couple of days ago where the police sent a SWAT team to invade some poor grandmum's house while her teenage grandkid was in there because they had been getting some "credible threats" against the department/occifer/chiefLEO or something.
Later it was determined that the "threats" were probably being sent from someone close by that had hacked onto the grann's wifi and sent them.
Really? An entire SWAT team has to break down some poor grann's house because of some threats? What kind of response justification is that?
