...every day there are cops out actually helping people...
That's the Liberal MSM that wants to embellish a point.....every day there are cops out actually helping people. Many times it has nothing to do with a crime.
The cop that runs into a burning fire to get people out, The cop that arrives on the scene with seniors who have become lost and disoriented, the cops that saves one from a drug overdose, the cops that help kids out and save their lives and are known throughout communities all across the nation.
Cops out helping people.....when I was younger I never really paid attention to that aspect of their daily lives. As I have gotten older and I have noticed that while they have a job to do. That many go well beyond the call of duty and have a place in their neighborhoods. That in essence they are people too.
Yet.....we rarely see the Media throw up the feel good stories unless it is to deflect from another issue.

The hypocrisy here is glaring.
A few cops are bad and all cops are bad.
A few blacks destroy things and they are individuals.
The fact that that even needs to be mentioned as a defense against a wholesale legitimate condemnation of what law enforcement has become is pretty pathetic, don't you think?
Clearly some are edited."A couple" is two.
More than two of these videos are posted every hour. Of every day. For years now.
Most of them are just raw footage.
Nothing "edited" about them.
And I didn't say anything about "damning" anyone.
I said that they no longer have my trust.
A couple years ago a cop could do just about anything and I'd give him or her the benefit of the doubt because, as you apparently still are, I was naive about what was actually going on in the law enforcement community.
Being a white, upper middle class, college educated, moderately conservative, Veteran the police were my kind of people.
Not any more.
Now you have to be a far (and I mean lunatic fringe) right wing ideologue who is more interested in style than substance in order to support these people across the board.
Now I take the position, like Ronald Reagan said, of "Trust, but verify".
If there is any question that the police might possibly be in the wrong I generally assume that they were probably in the wrong.
Because they're in the wrong so gosh darn much.
It doesn't matter whether they're strong-arming a Nevada cattle rancher, shooting to death a Sunday school teacher in a church parking lot, or dealing with the worst drug dealing, gang affiliated elements of the Baltimore underbelly.
Yea, that truth thing. She sure is pathetic.The fact that that even needs to be mentioned as a defense against a wholesale legitimate condemnation of what law enforcement has become is pretty pathetic, don't you think?

Even the SC officer shooting is "raw" and does not tell the whole story.
On the full vid you see the felon fighting with the officer. But that part was not released or supplied until after the officer was charged with murder.
Oh.
I see.
The part of the video that had nothing to do with a cop murdering a guy in cold blood (and then attempting to cover up his crime by tampering with evidence) wasn't released until it was released.
Fair enough.
:roll:
At the end of the day it wouldn't really have mattered what happened in that previously unreleased portion of the video, because under no circumstances is a cop (or anyone else in America) allowed to shoot a fleeing man in the back from 30 feet away and then stage the scene so it appears as though no crime was committed.
But I will grant you that the irrelevant portion of the video was initially withheld.
Never heard of the fleeing felon rules? Oh, yea that's right you have never worn the uniform. But you are an expert.

Once you lay hands on an officer, you are no longer just a fleeing felon. That goes beyond the pale of "feeling threatened" and actually being assaulted.Never heard of Tennessee v. Garner?
Graham v. Connor?
That pesky 4th Amendment!!!!
As American jurisprudence would have it cops actually aren't allowed to just shoot any old fleeing suspect in the back for no apparent reason other than an ambiguous claim of "feeling threatened" (nor are they allowed to plant evidence on that suspect or call in reports that they rendered first aid and performed CPR when in fact they actually just handcuffed the guy and allowed him to die face down in the dirt without making any effort to prevent a needless death).
Who would have thought?

End your rant right there and you are right. Period.Yes, you are.
Assaulting a police officer is a felony.
If you assault a cop and run you are, by definition, a fleeing felon.
not sure how "credible" credible means, but they should be on high alert as a matter of principle of the situation, not some dubious threat of "gang partnership".

Several officers are hurt right now -- one is unresponsive.
I would think that these gangs have the identities of specific LEOs that have killed brothers, not just a routine call to arms against cops in general. Ergo, the cops on their list will already have a good idea who they are. A pucker moment for , don't ya' know?
Were you a cop? I can't keep up with who is, was, or wasn't.
Fleeing felon rule specifically precludes shooting people in the back who don't post an imediate threat
Yeah, Baltimore is a bit f'd. It was a powder keg waiting to go, and this latest killing of a suspect pushed it over. While many protesters likely want to do so peacefully and push for a solution, there are many criminals laying in wait to exploit opportunities of violence and crime. Hopefully the whole place doesn't burn down.
