Where did I say ALL?I saw. Saying "F" ALL police because you don't like what 1, 2, 3, or even a dozen officers have done is childish. But go ahead, write ALL 300k off...
It is indeed an officer safety issue but it has nothing to do with the peep hole and everything to do with getting shot. Standing in front of a door will get you killed...PERIOD.
"Officer safety" doesn't meet the reasonableness test as set out in the SCOTUS decision Graham v. Connor decision.
Officer safety isn't a bandwagon, it's a real thing that needs to be adhered to. Just because there are officers that don't follow it doesn't mean it's not important. Officers are human and when nothing bad happens to them, they become complacent.
It's a general statement when things like this pop up.
Standing in front of a door is dumb, cop or not. It's called the funnel of death for a reason.
Officer safety I have to laugh at when I routinely see they decide to stop someone in a construction zone vs waiting less than a quarter of a mile where the zone is over, the roadway is wide and motorists would have PLENTY of space to move away from the stopped vehicles.
Again, I say this as someone with family as LEOs and one who's passed the written and physical exam before I decided not to go that route.
Few tarnish the badge for many...especially when **** like this keeps happening...
When it's the wrong address and they take out a citizen for something many of us (or a reasonable person) would do, I'd think those wearing the same badge would call it BS.
