Arizona police officer fatally hit during traffic stop, officials say

My other law enforcement rant is what is the fixation with traffic stops? Other than entering a home during an ongoing domestic assault, this has got to be the most dangerous, unpredictable aspect of police work.

In my opinion, the juice is not worth the squeeze. I’ve seen maybe 5-10 objectively worthwhile busts that originated from traffic stops.

Reduce reliance on traffic stops and instances of violence involving police officers as either the victim or the aggressor would go down. Public faith in law enforcement would also increase.

Cops never go to jail when they kill someone. Someone kills a cop and there's a 50/50 chance they go to jail and 50/50 chance they get shot and killed during the "arrest".

Have to disagree with you.

Except for when someone draws a weapon on LEO, at that point they're 100% f#@*!d.

2018 Fatal Shootings By Police

I made it through the first row, so I looked at 35 of them. 34 involved a confrontation with a subject armed with a knife or a gun. If the WaPo is just reporting raw numbers, fine. But if their goal is responsible journalism, then perhaps they should dig a little deeper to see if the shooting passes the smell test, at the very least.

Still looking for their article on the roughly 2,000 illegal immigrants ICE detained last year who were charged with, or convicted of, homicide. Those are just the ones ICE detained.

Maybe it's back in the classified ads somewhere.....

That's some funny stuff right there.

One time (not in Band Camp) our shift stopped at a Huddle House together after working a pretty nasty wreck on the Interstate. I brought us all in to grab a cup of coffee and decompress a bit. As luck would have it, it's about 2:30 am, so the Double H is about half full of folks from the local watering holes, and some of them are obviously intoxicated. We're trying not to notice, or stare, but we can't help but notice the guy at a table of four who has slowly "bobbed" his way down until his nose hits his grits. He's trying to be cool about it, but he's as obvious as a wart on the Pope's nose. So we get up to leave, and all I say to them is "He's not driving is he?" "No, Sir." "Good, y'all be safe going home."

No, we didn't go sit across the street. I told my team to put five miles between them and the parking lot as quick as they could.

Guy in his Lambo gets pulled over for “not having the right tags.” He handled it very well and was very courteous. This trooper was definitely high strung and seemed like he wanted to escalate the situation. Hopefully his superiors see this video and he gets better training on the laws.
