Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!

There were 2 cops there and there need not be more in order to evaluate the threat level this dude created.
 
Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!

Idk how much I blame the individual cops and I see this as a bigger picture issue.

I just think that if you're gonna only send two cops for a super dangerous person firing his gun in the air but then also send far more than that to a peaceful protest, and then act like you couldn't have sent more people to the actually dangerous situation to deescalate it peacefully...

I can't say I get the logic there. I also think they could've just done this more safely from a distance using their loudspeaker and telling the guy to surrender rather than rushing at him guns drawn creating a foot chase that could've ended even worse than it did.

A protest is more than one person. Adjust cop population to a ratio that is needed to control crowd, if need be. It's not rocket science.

And yet, you ignore the facts of this particular case. Yes, I have called out cops before. Not in this event. Not even once. You are blind, and refuse to admit it. Good day, sir.

One of us keeps stating "facts" that happen to be wrong, it isn't me. You don't like my opinion, which is fine, but not the same thing.

Good thing the Supreme Court told me racism was over...cause I mean otherwise this would seem pretty racist.

Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!

Police in Georgia tasered 87-year-old Martha Al-Bishara after this woman, who doesn’t speak English, allegedly didn’t comply with orders to drop a knife in her hand. But relatives said she was just cutting dandelions. Cops overreacted.

“You don’t tase an 87-year-old woman,” her great-nephew Solomon Douhne told the Daily Citizen-News. He’s a former officer for the Dalton Police Department. “She was not a threat. If anything, she was confused and didn’t know what was going on. It was a ridiculous turn of events. If three police officers couldn’t handle an 87-year-old woman, you might want to reconsider hanging up your badge.”
