I have no words to describe how absurd all of this is on so many levels.

using words and/or a taser are a couple of options before using the gun.

I feel like you watch videos of cops getting attacked online and wonder what the cop did wrong.

I watched a video of cops disabling surveillance cameras and ingesting drugs while on duty and wonder what they did wrong, then quickly answer with "everything"

[steve dave]

sometimes I watch videos of cops shooting non-threatening people in the head and wonder what they did wrong, then I realize "shooting that guy in the head" was what they did wrong

Why do you think it's a bad thing to hold cops to a higher standard than civilians? Thankfully the Arlington PD gets it.

Who said anything like that?  I'm questioning the naivety that people here have towards police work and specifically how dangerous it is when police encounter armed resistance to civil authority. 

And does Arlington PD get it?

Yeah, and I'm saying that if an officer is attacked and there is a video, the video should be evaluated to see if the situation could have been avoided. There are cases where people are insane and would attack a cop no matter what, but even then police should still try to learn from them (along with any other attack. )


I mean, cops already use videos of cops being attacked them as teaching moments. (I think they should also show videos of cops rough ridin' up and killing citizens, but still):

I hope your point here isn't that the Arlington PD shouldn't have fired that guy.

It certainly is, edn clearly thinks law enforcement officers should be evaluated like kids running a lemonade stand. If he ever becomes the supervisor of people that hashe the potential of being an all time crap show. "Do whatever you want guys, just try really hard and it will all be fine."

So this initially doesn't appear to be in the same vain of the other links, we'll see for sure later, but this story is just mumped up.

This one is pretty awful, but it also leads you into a wormhole of cops behaving badly with several links within this one. I want to insert the following one because it's truly horrific. In many of these links it's cops showing really poor judgment in the heat of the moment, this one is a countywide cover up. This is well earned prison time, good luck in the clink, boys and girls.

You'd have to be pretty rough ridin' daft to get that from my comment.  MiR made the comment that Arlington gets it right when they clearly didn't   As much as MiR wants to spew in this thread, I posted a pretty clear example where the one officer screwed up.  Now I don't know (and we likely never will know how things went down) the most likely scenario is justifiable for the police officer's actions.  But the cop violated policy and good practice and shouldn't be on the force.

I like the way you're trying to walk back from a foolish comment, because this last post is very reasonable, but not what you've been tracking like in this string.

I'm confused. I said the Arlington PD gets it, you said they don't, but then your last sentence said "the cop violated policy and good practice and shouldn't be on the force." I think you are so hell bent on arguing and being full of crap that you're confusing yourself.

I don't think you know if you're coming or going at this point.  You said arlington PD "gets it" and I responded because they clearly don't.  That is pretty obvious when you have a rookie cop so emboldened that he wonders off by himself and someone ends up dead.  So no, they don't "get it."  Back to your regularly scheduled flailing.
