I may surprise some people on this, but I didn't necessarily see anything outrageous in this instance. Obviously, it looks bad tasing someone in handcuffs and I get that. These are the type of people that cops need to take off the streets.

Once the subject is in custody, there's no reasonable need to taze someone. Let them be mouthy, let them make threats, let them call you every name in the book, it's all on video. All it does is help the officer in court.

But this...this does not. All it does is hurt other cops and perpetuate a stereotype that good LEO's are actively trying to extinguish.

Thin Blue Line Act passes in the house. Enhances sentences for criminals who murder or attempt to murder LEO's and first responders while performing duties. Great to see some bipartisan voting even though it was largely passed by the R's. Interesting that 2 nay's came from TN Dems.

This establishes the police as a different class of people.

That has always been the case imo. LEO's must always set the example or suffer in public opinion. Even with all of the bs you read, some of it deserved, LEO's are still held in high regard among all professions only ranking below medical professionals in polls.

Cops rarely ever suffer any consequences when they screw up.

But why do the penalties need to be stiffer? If someone tries to kill a police officer, shouldn't they be charged with attempted murder and have the same sentencing guidelines? A crime is a crime.

Laws allowing enhanced penalties for harming emergency personnel are as illogical and needless as hate crime laws.

How does one become a DRE (Drug Recognition Expert)? That is what Betty Shelby described herself as during her first interview with police. Maybe some of our law enforcement buddies can tell us about this special training.

Cialis is better. I am 40, take testosterone and have no ED...but whats better than a big weiner to use for 10 mins? An even bigger weiner thats ready for hours. Unfortunately they are pricey, but worth it.
