Why do they
all have to chant "Taser Taser Taser"?
Do they have to do that to summon Taser;
like summoning Beetlejuice?
Maybe they need to make the tasers look evern MORE outlandishly NOT like a gun. i.e. no trigger, maybe to buttons you have to push with both hands, no pistol grip....kind of more like a star trek phasor.
I'm thinking something like a Lawgiver staff,
but closer to nightstick sized.
P. S. Not Joking. Think of a cattle prod that shoots barbs that are trailing wires.
It’s a training and experience issue, same as it’s always been. Some people (cops) have never been in really stressful situations and their brain just shuts down due to overload. ...
I can't imagine all the danger inherent in perps and scenes,
and so there's plenty to be
objectively scared of,
and plenty of risks to manage.
But how many of these officers
that fail are running a tape in their head
that was composed during training; are scaring themselves witless
over stuff that
might happen?
I'm not the first person on NES to wonder about that..
I know this is San Francisco, but why did she need to put on purple gloves
before frisking or cuffing the perp - was she gonna administer a field prostate exam?
Is hepatitis more of a risk than someone pulling a knife there?
OTOH, if the first bystander grabbed the perp by the
hair -
well, I
love that expression of authoritah.
Overall I've seen nastier purse-fights, though.
LE keeps lowering the standards more and more to apply and graduate, so that they can scrape the bottom of the diversity barrel for recruits ... when in fact they should see that it’s not working and reverse course, to start raising their standards drastically.
Anyone with half a brain is running from any type of armed service job, so now we’re left with scraping the gunk off the barrel and dressing it up like a turd sandwich ... This is the end result, it cannot be more clear.
Just when you think it can't get any worse,
one of these Diversity Hire Wonders is going to blow it
so badly
that SCOTUS cancels Qualified Immunity.
Think about it: QI's not getting canceled because
everyone attains a uniformly
high level of professionalism.
It's gonna be because the public will get fed up with a drumbeat of antics and follies.
(So much the worse if the drumbeat is actually ginned up and exaggerated by the MSM).
Two ways to denies critics the ammo to lay zero tolerance on cops:
- Everyone on the job stays professional.
- Stay fetal and refuse to engage whenever possible.
Your chain of command might have been all about engaging threats;
going into harm's way. But if lawsuits start crippling city budgets,
they'll suddenly be all about Don't Screw Up - collar the scumbag another day.
If the prosecutors refuse to charge anyhow, why go out on a limb?
Not saying it's any way to run a railroad.
Jus' sayin'...
A Gentle Giant strikes again. My shocked face
You noticed that too, eh?
