I’m constantly amazed though on FR people who post non-stop about the usurpation of our Constitutional rights never see the overreach by police as a threat. If those controlled by the Constitution can do no wrong, why do we need it?
(1) I can assure you that not one of those police officers wanted to have to deal with the homeless. They certainly have no desire to touch them or put them in their cars (most probably don’t smell so good.). They are told to be there by their higher ups.
(2) The man attacked the officers. Did you miss that part of the video? Attacking the officers was not his constitutional right.
(3) Did he go for a gun? We don’t know for sure but the police there certainly seemed to think so. I believe we should wait on the facts before attacking the officers.
(4) Like the guy in the video that kept say, FU, FU, etc., if you can do better than the police officers we have, have at it. It’s not a job I would want but if you can do better, go for it.
The cops job is to manage and control the homeless, that has always been a primary duty of the cops.
Of course, the cops THINK he was grabbing a gun. What do you expect them to say?
You wouldn’t be a cop? Good for you. I question the sanity of anyone who wants to be a cop. And I don’t want insane people legally carrying guns and badges.
By the way, it’s not against the law to say “FU” to a cop. Cops THINK it is and will arrest you for saying it then you have to post bail and hire an attorney. So, your freedom of speech must be earned and paid for every time you say something a cop doesn’t like.
RESPECT HIS AUTHORITY!
Pay no attention to the FR cop haters, I gave up along time ago. They see what they want to see. If one were to do a criminal back ground check on them you’ll most likely find one thing in common, self inflicted run in’s with the law. They’ll deny it and scream constitutional rights just like Steve the lawn mower guy, yet they convict on sight. We have allot of Steve’s on this site.
