I just thanked a cop

don't let him continue to deflect from the broader question you asked him...he is changing the subject on you per his usual modus operandi
I just like the idea of a cop playing whack-a-mole will a dildo. No one gets hurt. It just good fun.
If there is, will you turn off Lee Greenwood off of your Spotify and equivocally state that this mega kick was a sign that these cops went too far?
you don't even understand the comparison then.
both professions have little room for error thus are most certainly similar...obviously performing surgery is not like arresting someone.
I presented the evidence from the body cam footage..which is what he asked. Do you not see that the DA's decision is exactly why APD last night just walked off the job? IF this guy didn't follow protocol, the reaction would be WAY different by the entire APD force..that's a pretty big indicator this whole thing is a political farce.
Why were they kicking him as he bled out?
Also, walking off the job makes the “defund the police” people happy. Giving them exactly what they want.
I'm not trying to be right. But I've just heard so many stories of innocent people dying when cops will get in high speed chases over running a stop sign, or something that didn't require a chase. This guy was clearly running away. I don't think he was going to go assault other people.
Link to video of him being kicked? That still shot was taken as the officer was kneeling down to check a pulse...which is exactly what the body cam footage proves.
So you’ve already got your deflection ready before the video is even shown to you. That’s peak Rice.
With your handle, by Gawd you better be!
A couple of months ago I had a Preliminary Hearing in Mobile on a criminal case. I cross examined the investigating officer. The hearing was concluded, case bound over to the grand jury, and I left the courtroom.
As I was getting in my car, a car pulled up and stopped. The window rolled down and it was the officer I crossed just earlier before. He said, "Hey, thanks for not raking me over the coals." I responded, "Oh, no. You did fine. I believe in being professional in the courtroom. I do my thing and you do yours. No need for a dog and pony show." He gave me a thumbs and we waived to one another and he drove off.
There is a proper way to handle things. He and I did that on that morning. Everybody has their job to do. I don't think there's enough money to pay me to be a cop. I've met a few cops over the years that had an attitude, I've caught some in some lies, but by far the majority seem to be good guys in a really tough job.
I've seen lawyers who seemed only interested in being a smartass as they put on their dog and pony show in the courtroom. I don't like it, but that's just me. The ones who are prepared, conduct themselves properly and show courtesy are the ones who get noticed and respected.
All you can control is yourself. You can't control the other guy. If everybody handles that job correctly, a lot can be accomplished with no one getting hurt.
I didn't know who it was either, but I only saw one metal album by Lee Greenwood. So it's to be expected.
can you explain why it's upsetting to you that he said that? i'm seriously interested, not being a dick
Sincerely, Sir, THANKS for protecting and serving!
You're trying to take a still shot out of context when it doesn't match up with the body cam footage I posted ITT..good grief. This thread is nothing but predictable...guilty until proven innocent, truth over facts. Actually do research before you attempt to discredit me here. Again WHY did all of APD walk off the force last night if the DA's charge was justifiable?
The flag wavers ITT don't realize that the BlueFlu is just playing into the hands of people that want to cut their funding.
It's because it shows that they're not in it for the right reasons. And it shows that we need to recruit, train, and fund cops that are.
I would fire any cop that walked off the job last night. Because their actions prove that they care more about the Blue Code and some irrational measure of 'support' than they do serving and protecting. Some cop in APD in Zone 6 who probably has never met or knows these two cops in particular have zero reason to walk out if they just continue to do their jobs the right way.
Do your job: support
Kill people, cover for your corrupt brothers, act rude and belligerent over a fifty cent tail light being out : no support
That body cam video conveniently picks up when they started first aid. It left out where he put on rubber gloves to pick up the bullet casings before administering first aid.
I ain't know if anybody iz RITE or WRONG on dis wun yet.
Guy shure koooda helped himself if he wooda juzt dun the rite thang doe.
Do you not realize that you’re doing the exact same thing — just in the opposite direction?
I happen to believe that the officer in question should not be going to jail for murder. It was a tense situation and it was a judgment call. I wish he’d have shot the perpetrator in the leg instead.
However, your insistence that the guy is perfectly innocent and anyone who thinks otherwise is a buffoon, man, it’s kinda sad.
I agree that I don't think he should be convicted of murder, and most definitely will not be. But rule #1 is if you shoot, you shoot to kill.
A person is justified in threatening or using force against another when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes that such threat or force is necessary to defend himself or herself or a third person against such other's imminent use of unlawful force; however, except as provided in Code Section 16-3-23 , a person is justified in using force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury to himself or herself or a third person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
He's innocent based on Georgia law for use of deadly force, yes.
You wood thank ERRRY POLICE CHIEF frum KEY WEZT to CALIFORNYA wood assemble thare work force ERRRY MORNING and juzt BEG-----"FOE GAWDZ SAKES GUYS, SHOOT THE SUMBITCHES IN THE KNEE!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I meeeeeeen PERTY PLEEEEEEEEZE!!!!!!"
I agree with you, but you do realize that’s not how cops are trained to shoot, correct? Shooting someone in the leg would be incredibly difficult. I raise this point because I’ve seen it articulated several times in various places by smart people. My source is an LEO in my family, fwiw.
We gotta chainj dat rule if we want any BIG CITIES left in 2021!!!!
Exactly this, they are trained to shoot center mass..Brooks turned sideways and fired the taser which meant his back was the biggest surface area exposed to stop the threat.
I'm all for non-lethal weapons. Not sure why we don't have some sort of tranq guns readily available. The cops in London don't even carry guns, and the crime rate there is significantly less than NYC.
I mean he fired the taser at them..so yes, that is ground to discharge a firearm under Georgia law. Also another thing a taser in the hands of an officer that is trained to use it could be argued that it isn't deadly force because they're trained, but a taser in the hands of an individual with no training is considered a deadly weapon. Moral of the story here, don't drive drunk get the cops called on you, don't resist arrest, don't assault two officers, steal their taser and then fire said taser back at them and you have about a 99.9% chance of living. Brooks made all of those decisions that put the officer and the rest of the community at risk.
i just didn't think it was a big deal...he wasn't saying anything negative about either position just threw out an example of another profession where error can lead to death.
not sure if you are 26 years a cop or a surgeon but either way thanks for what you provide to society
I thank we'll see a HUGE chainj shortly. It mite take Los Angeles or Atlanta burning to the ground firzt but we'll see a chainj in weaponz foe COPS.
@Jay G. Tate - good thing this is your board and you have posted so often in this thread or it sure as hell would have been moved to the AIDS board.
