Oops, I Did It Again

[Tecumsehsbones]

Time for a hard look at how police are trained. If they're over the top with authority or if they're truly afraid for their lives.

Radley Balko says the problem is the training of the cops has gone from "guardian" orientation to "warrior" orientation.

Me, I say it's gone to "hysterical coward barking inconsistent orders" orientation. Look at the video of Geronimo Yanez if you disagree.

Body camera's shouldn't be allowed to be turned off, deleting footage should be an instant guilty charge / firing.

Yeah, that'll happen.

In Canada's case, i don't think its unreasonable to have the cops in our country to be trained in a form of martial art that would give them more options in tense situations.

The cops make a lot of money and have state of the art gear already so why not expect them to at least hold a black belt in some martial arts? Other countries do it...

I believe this was mentioned already on this forum.

If you watch many of those youtube videos of people being arrested, it's a constant stream of cops yelling 'get on the ground! put your hands behind your back! turn over! I said get on the ground! '


No normal person could decipher what they're screaming quickly enough to do what they demanded before they start screaming something else. And if there's more than one cop, they're screaming different things, and demanding you comply.

Then they'll shoot you and later on the stand whimper about how terrified they were because there were only eight of them with guns, tasers, OC spray, and batons, facing. . . THE DREADED UNARMED CITIZEN!

Yeah, they're heroes.

The scary thing is that the police apparently believe that they are at war with crime and any one of us is potentially a criminal,

Therefore, they are at war with ...

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Well, I gotta admit, I'd be pretty terrified of a 40-year-old white chick yoga instructor in pajamas.

Yeah, cops should have their guns controlled

They do.

Bride-to-be called 911 for help and was fatally shot by a Minneapolis police officer
(in case you missed it)

not very well apparently

The fact that they shot her doesn't mean their guns weren't controlled. You really do suck at reading.

 

[Danbones]

Wrong, she's dead.
If you call that control then you better get some bullet proof shoes before you handle a gun,

and some unchewable feet too.

If you consider that as controlled it would indicate the cop had already decided to kill the next person that interrupted his doughnut break.

 

[Danbones]

He had already had a prior unprofessional conduct on his record according to the radio.
I wonder what happened to ALL the cameras?

 

[TenPenny]

So how do you define 'gun control' then? You mean, not using them? No wonder people are against 'gun control' if that's what you think.


In legislative terms, gun control means restrictions on ownership/possession/availability of guns.


You people don't understand the terms you're using.

What happened with Justine Damond? Questions remain surrounding fatal Minnesota

U lost?
