1) A number of folks here doubted the original story on the encounter that I posted yesterday. To them, do you still doubt that the officer retreated?

2) Notice that the media still isn’t reporting the cowardly officers’s picture or name? Often the NY Post intentionally makes these omissions when the person is a member of the “protected class.”

On RAV this morning, Erik Prince was brutal about what should happen to this cop.

They should have gone up with guns locked and loaded and shot him on sight.

There’s no wondering what he was going to do.

Even if he had no shot He could have fired warning shots just to alert rest of LE. It would have been quicker than using his radio

Until I have more facts and less speculation, I will reserve judgement about the appropriateness of police actions.

There is no law that says LEOs must put themselves in danger. Police have no duty to protect the public SCoTUS

Police retreating or hiding like little bitches is becoming a recurring theme.

Self preservation is not necessarily cowardice. IIUC, he was unarmed.

I suppose this cop could always apply for a position as a school resource officer at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Then the sheriff is a coward too. Fire shots in the air, over the roof edge, something to foil the attack. Uvalde, Texas is hiring.

I guess the sheriff came from the Uvalde school of policing or something.

They are big and tough shaking down speeders in the name of ‘revenue enhancement’, but otherwise, not so much.

These small town cops are often little better than one those fat security guards you’d find at a shopping mall. The cop did not need to be Chuck Norris, but he could have called in the threat in a timely manner.

Now that we know “he’s” a “he,” why did “he” not get on “his” coms and warn everyone. But it’s moot, if Crooks immediately opened fire, which I don’t believe. Crooks had to take the time to locate his target and line up his sights on him. Fortunately, between squeezing the trigger and the flight of the bullet, DJT happened to turn his head to the side, and thereby his life was saved by a Higher Power. But don’t tell me he was able to do all that in the twinkling of an eye after threatening the LEO and making him retreat. What a numb nuts. He froze and failed to communicate.

We have video of the shooter up on the roof. I take it there is video of the officer attempting to get on the roof with the assistance of his partner and the shooter pointing his weapon at him?

All I know is the officer had both hands on the roof to get up on the roof,

That's a little different than climbing up a ladder to peer over. No free hand to draw a sidearm.
