To Protect and to Serve II

If the police are going to execute, or this is the primary reason for going to pick up an individual, they need to have it.

Occurences that happen on the spot because of something else or some other crime or investigation, and then it shows up during the event, then having one in hand should not be necessary.
In most states, that I'm aware, sheriff's departments keep the paper copy of the warrants on file, municipal (city) departments do not. In some larger counties, you can have more than 5 agencies, each having to rely upon the warrants division at the sheriff's office to get those warrants in hand (confirmed, as was mentioned in the video) in order to properly effect the arrest of an individual with warrants.

This individual was going to have his warrant served to him at the jail and be read an account of the charges against him.
 
I don’t understand why people call the cops when it is a clear medical issue. If you want your loved one to die, call the cops. If you want your loved one to get help, call an ambulance.

This is why I say that this country's police problem isn't just the fault of the state. We have far too many people that believe a uniformed state worker can solve all of life's problems. We rely far to much on these cops to resolve simple disputes, vices, and minor infractions that don't threaten another person's life/limb/property.

Look, I get it. He's a thief and he attempted to assault the restaurant employee before he fled the scene.

But damn... was this really necessary over a $1 soda?
Agreed. Yes it was theft, an employee got him got him to leave. I’m not sure why the employee continued after him outside. Not sure why/when the cops were called. This was weird.

Not sure about this one. I can understand a father being protective, but there is a line. There is a possible precedent in the case (though a different state) where the Texas father found the guy molesting his daughter and shot him.

Arizona father beats, kills man who followed his daughter into bathroom stall, police say

An Arizona father decided to “take care of a situation” his own way when he killed a man who attempted to enter a bathroom stall his daughter was in, police said.

Melvin Harris III faces a second-degree murder charge in the beating death of Leon Leevon Armstrong, AZFamily.com reported on Tuesday. Harris was taken into custody earlier this month after the deadly encounter at a QuikTrip convenience store in Phoenix involving his 16-year-old daughter.

She then identified Armstrong as the alleged harasser when she spotted him walking out of the store.

Possibly thinking not enough was being done, Harris approached the security guard and told him to “take care of the situation, or he would do it himself.” The guard said the incident was being handled.

The protective father, however, confronted Armstrong about the incident and then attacked him, authorities said. Witnesses told police Harris repeatedly stomped, punched and kicked the man.
 
Wait for it....




"There was no anger, there was no malice in this," Etheridge said. "In my opinion, it was the lowest use of force we could have used to simply stop that threat at the time. And I know everyone is going to say, 'An 87-year-old woman? How big a threat can she be?' She still had a knife."
If an 87 year old woman with a knife and dandelions is considered to be a threat, these guys need to find a different line of work.

Etheridge said the body camera footage will not be released because criminal charges against Al-Bishara are pending.
Even if charges are dropped, they still need to release the video.

Al-Bishara was charged with criminal trespass and obstruction of an officer, both misdemeanors. She was released on her own recognizance.
Pathetic.
