I'm envisioning a future yootoob video of two combatants stuck to the floor like a mouse-board, neither able to reach their weapon. Then they pour acetone on the floor and they both run away in opposite directions like crazed deer.I don't understand why nobody is protesting how damn sticky the floor in that place was.
I'm not sure which is worse. places where the floor is sticky, or where it is impossibly slick.I don't understand why nobody is protesting how damn sticky the floor in that place was.
Ehh just wait, everyone who doesn't normally go to McDonalds, will be going there for McRibs this month.I'm not sure which is worse. places where the floor is sticky, or where it is impossibly slick.

Are you trying to get everyone over here in this thread puking too?Ehh just wait, everyone who doesn't normally go to McDonalds, will be going there for McRibs this month.
I get the sentiment though. We non-police all want to be Paul Kersey.Real life is actually a BIT more complicated than a Judge Dredd movie. I work with that officer and I have no issue with him watching my back. That's a silly statement.

OK, genius. How else would you handle this one?Below, from the wishtv posted in #7... To me, it sounds like pandering to the idiots holding anti police signs. To a patrolman it probably sounds like yet another 'guesser' to 2nd guess, third guess, consultant guess. Geez, this jackwad attempted to murder another human, a cop none the less. Didn't every armed citizen in that BK have a right to shoot the MF'r in defense? Bodycam, biz video, eyewitness' all demonstrate appropriate use of force. I don't recognize the value in adding a "consultant". Not for this case specifically and not in general.
IMPD Assistant Chief Chris Bailey says the department will be looking at hiring a consultant to examine each police shooting to see if the agency can change how it handles them.
I think when we see the consultant, their "qualifications" will be "obvious."Below, from the wishtv posted in #7... To me, it sounds like pandering to the idiots holding anti police signs.

To be fair...they will say the "cop should have de-escalated."And its really sad when you get criticized for killing a mope AFTER he shot you. So if a mope shooting you isnt justification for shooting him, what IS?
Do we just let our cops get murdered and then go find him and ask him nicely to come to the station for a cookie?
My not-a-cop question is: was there a necessary reason to chase a tresspasser in the first place. Not a cop, never been a cop. Thought I wanted to be a cop a few different times.To be fair...they will say the "cop should have de-escalated."
The other end of the de-escalation rainbow is "Portland," but still this BS persists.
That is a good question. According to the linked story he was told to leave and he followed the officer's orders super efficiently, at a high rate of speed. Unless there is further reason like he had warrants (which isnt mentioned) I too fail to see a reason to pursue.My not-a-cop question is: was there a necessary reason to chase a tresspasser in the first place.

Chances are good that I don't know the whole story on why the guy was chased.
I do know, though, that running from even a mostly casual police encounter flips a chase response switch in said police.
Thanks for your input. It helps the average Joe to hear of a possibility or rationale not being discussed with regard to policing events. Now, this next statement isn't directed at you personally, but from your above post, my first thought was, No ****, Sherlock. Putting out facts in situations of good shoots, facts that can be easily obtained and demonstrated and favor law enforcement, probably shouldn't be held up for months. I'm not sure how much these consultants are paid, but this was easy money for him/her. Again, my sarcasm isn't directed at you personally. And before anyone jumps in with 'sometimes facts aren't known', 'sometimes facts cannot be released because there is an ongoing investigation.' etc. I get it. There will be exceptions.On consultants, I don't know what sort of consultant is under consideration, but we already hired a media consultant. It's the reason you see an explanation, pictures of the suspect's weapon, etc. so quickly now instead of saying nothing for months other than 'under investigation' while the false narrative gets spun up by others and gains traction. The public outcry over obviously good shoots is significantly less since we started putting out good info before the 'they shot him while he was reading the Bible to homeless orphans" narrative got ahead of it.
