Jenksismyhero Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 05:41 PM) I think it's ridiculous that it's up to citizens for this. Again, it's a seatbelt stop with a family of 4 in it. Guns were pulled, a window was smashed, and a man tazed in front of the kids. The other cop seemed to be talking and handling the situation fine. Maybe the other cop was just s***ty at his job? Blame the relatively few morons who have shot cops or harmed cops during traffic stops for getting the law on this changed.

I read somewhere that it has happened where a criminal jumped in the shower as the police showed up and claimed that he lived at the house he was in the process of robbing.

Jenksismyhero Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) It's an American issue. Is it though? We get a few examples in the news, but out of the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of stops in the country in a given day, how many deal with cops using excessive force?

Science > some random peoples "opinions". The facts are the police shot an unarmed teen whom was simply holding a sandwich that happened to shoot bullets. as Balta stated, there are eye witness accounts to this.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 08:43 PM) How many times did they ask him to get out and told him they would do it? As you can see in my little profile thing, I'm from Hammond, and the police officer is actually the father of a friend of mine. His daughter is a great girl and the one time I met him he seemed real nice. The video in question is a 20 second clip of about a 13 minute interaction. Was a bit excessive? Perhaps, but what other options did he have if the guy refused to cooperate? Just continue to play the waiting game? Not sure if it has been posted, but that man had warrants in another county and has since been arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to pay for it on board. Ugh. In Houston flying to Cartagena, Colombia tomorrow and staying in Obama's Secret Service's favorite hotel for a couple days until I get on another ship. Life's not terrible currently. PS my road trip was amazing, but you were right about the filming of it. Created tensions that didn't need to be there. Still easily the coolest thing I've ever done. I'll tell y'all about it some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Lot of arrests last night. Protestors are getting more aggressive. Holding a sit in front of a place of business and preventing people from people going in is not a good idea. St. Louis police chief says rocks were thrown at cops. That's another good way to have mass arrests happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
