    Not guilty.  The next person that tells me that police serve and protect might get puked on.

    Un-f**king believable.
    said if in the same circumstances he wouldnt change a thing.......
    It seemed to me he was itching to pull that trigger. He's a piece of shit.
    The inscription on the rifle and his demeanor definitely signals a person who shouldn't be in law enforcement.
    It reminds me of the swastika-tatted cops...what behaviours and signs should/can we designate as disqualifying for career of such gravity and consequence?

    We need to double all our expectations on who should be an officer and how they should be trained and managed.  In order to jump start and sustain those expectations, we need to triple their salaries.
    It will never happen.

    This case perfectly illustrates one of the double standard in policing that bothers me.

    There are two men in that hallway that fear for their lives.
    One is wearing body armour and has an assault rifle drawn with his finger at the trigger.  He has countless hours of training and experience in dealing with fear inducing situations in his chosen career and there is no immediate threat to his life, but there is a possible threat to be considered.
    The other is a half? drunk dude trying to comply with (ridiculously complicated and unnecessary) instructions while staring at a loaded rifle aimed at his head.  He has zero training and has never been in a situation like this before, he is literally being threatened verbally and physically with death.

    The expectations placed on the two men respectively are entirely reversed to what logic would dictate.
    The one with training, experience, and appropriate tools is given wide latitude to respond to fear emotionally and irrationally, and the one who has no training, no experience, and no tools with which to cope is expected to respond to fear with perfect composure.
    They were intertwined with numerous threats that in my mind... really tipped off this cop's mentality. I mean, clearly the guy was shitting his pants and was taking the officer very seriously (I've never seen straighter arms when he held them over his head), but the more he eagerly tried to comply... the more complicated instructions were given- each with a warning that was hard to ignore.

    It was truly as if this cop had no interest in walking out of the hotel without shooting someone.

    7I used to travel quite a bit for work. Which gave me a lot of time to get drinks in strange hotels. This is terrifying. Our police need to be reigned in. A lot. 

    Too bad tRump put a stop to that as well.  Oh well, Hillary just wasn't trust worthy or inspiring enough to vote for....
    Just can't pass up an opportunity for a cheap shot...

    This happened in Jan 2016 btw.

    I don’t remember you complaining too loudly when Trump told the gathering of NYPD that it was okay if they roughed people up because they probably deserved it. Yup, it’s still snowing out.

    I can't take the time to comment on everything that he says but my posts here on this issue should illustrate quite clearly on what my stance is.

    https://news.vice.com/story/shot-by-cops

    An exclusive analysis of data from the 50 largest local police departments in the United States shows that police shoot Americans more than twice as often as previously known.

    Police shootings aren’t just undercounted — police in these departments shoot black people at a higher rate and shoot unarmed people far more often than any data has shown. Recent reform efforts have already worked to bring down police shootings, our investigation shows. Yet Attorney General Jeff Sessions is moving away from these reforms, to the dismay of advocates, experts, and some local law enforcement officials.

    we have a warped view on most issues. anything and everything is Dem vs Republican, blue vs red, left vs right. we got so good at it, that even genders are a political issue.

    A POTUS capable of properly speaking English?

    If you actually cared about progressive values and weren't just using that as your trolling theme, the extremely long list of regressions taking place would have stopped those words from passing your lips.
