Ed Davis on NECN - Don't interfere just call 911

[Erebus]

Chet Curtis asked Ed Davis if he thought that it was right that the head of the Guardian Angels said he would intervene and stop a man sexually assaulting a woman and call police. Ed Davis said that you should not interfere, you should call 911.

I can't imagine myself just standing there describing a rape in progress to a dispatcher while a woman is screaming for help.

Ed Davis is not a man.

A real man does not allow a woman to be savaged in such a way.

Sure thing Ed. No problem. You can also KMA.

 

[JonJ]

Davis is toeing the line. Just a puppet to Mumbles. He likes his $167K a year job.

Does the name Kitty Genovese ring a bell with anyone?

It's familiar to me, but I'm having a hard time placing it luv.

Sure does.
Sad.

 

[Bruce for NH State Rep]

Does anyone have a transcript of that? I'll try to record it if they re-run that one. If that was what he said, he's as big a fraud as his assmonkey boss, Mumbles.

This state makes me sick to my stomach...

 

[Bruce for NH State Rep]

You know the cure, brother.

Murdered while her neighbors listened. Brooklyn, I think.

 

[Erebus]

You know the cure, brother.

Commuting all the way to Westboro from Southern NH is looking less and less like a bad idea.

Thanks Ross. It's dinging a larger bell now.

No kidding. What kind of spineless pile of crap does nothing.

 

[Ripach]

Hope his wife is never beaten and raped while someone describes it to a 911 dispatcher.
I know if it was me I would be forced to use .40 cal intervention while waiting for the proper authorities to arrive.

 

[clinotus]

I hope a lot of people saw this and could see what a clown BPD has at the top.

Here's my response to that loon.

Although one needs to be very careful about inserting themselves into the problems of other people, the mentality of "nobody not in government employment is allowed to resist" can have devastating consequences. Just look at the apparent lack of resistance on 3 of the 4 9/11 planes.

A liberal statist.

I'll be doing the Rindge to Northboro commute in 6 weeks.

Ed Davis sounds like a puke of the highest order. "No, don't get involved
when someone is raping your neighbor... if people did that enough times it would
reduce the justification for our existence. "

I'm all for being cautious, too..... but there are definitely times where public
intervention is a good thing.

Interesting,the cops are ALWAYS asking for help for info on "X" but they don't want your help in preventing crime. BTW I quite certain that Davis' wife has little to worry about in the crime victim department,they most likely live in a very nice suburb with plenty of police for security unlike us poor peons.
I wonder if there are stats on the effectiveness of neighborhood watch groups?

Ever know a police officers significant other to not have a gun for self defense??? Man or woman?

Not every LEO is "switched on" WRT the usefulness of a firearm.. and that
especially would not transpose over to an appointed political hack in a
big city like Boston.

Many LEOs don't even carry off duty, never mind encouraging their
spouse to get a gun!

I worked PT for a smallish PD for 17 years. Only 1 officer carried 24/7, another part of the time (he also owned a gun shop and was a firearms instructor, we used to shoot together every Sunday morning). NONE of the other 24 officers carried off-duty. NONE of the spouses carried and I'll bet only 1 or 2 even had a permit.

Today I know a lot more LEOs out there and I only know less than a handful that carry off duty!

Most treat a gun like a pen . . . necessary to do their job, wished they didn't have to carry it around, etc. Most only shoot 1-2x/year when mandated by their PD.

Your premise might be true in TX, but it certainly isn't in New England.

 

[JonJ]

I do not know one police officer who wishes they didn't have to carry a firearm.
I even know Britt PCs who wish they could carry.

 

[CharlesInCharge]

Not to say I agree with the idea of not helping someone in trouble, but the cynic in me says that you would almost certainly end up cuffed and stuffed, taking out a second mortgage to pay for your criminal defense as well as the civil suit from the scumbag's family, plus, if the victim turns out to be a scumbag too, some lawyer will probably find a way to sue you on her behalf. Maybe I've just lived here too long. I like to think these things wouldn't be going through my mind if I saw a stranger in trouble.

An LEO friend of mine was asking about selling / trading his current Sig for a compact Glock to go along with his duty weapon. My suggestion was for him to just keep the Sig and buy the Glock (of course). He asked why he'd need another firearm, and I asked "well, what about your wife?"

His general attitude was that if he was armed, his wife didn't need to be. He thinks I'm kind of paranoid that both me and my spouse are armed and even asked why. I gave the following examples "what if I'm away", "what if she's unable to get to my side of the room for my gun", and "what if the bad guy wins the fight with me"? I think I've got him thinking a little, not much - but a start.

Jon, I'm glad that this is the case with you.

However, let me start by introducing you to my Chief one day, then we can go from there!

Many I knew and worked with hated carrying a gun. One was Sgt, Lt. and later Chief and over the ~!5 years I knew him, only once did he ever carry a gun.
