To Protect and to Serve II

[1972 Grad]

I’m assuming you mean by his own men

Absolutely.

 

[hog88]

Except people who drive drunk or shoot guns in the air or are otherwise reckless DO mean harm to others. Even thru negligence

A drunk driver that hurts someone or damages property should be arrested and punished harshly, same with anyone misusing a firearm. You aren’t getting any arguments otherwise.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Absolutely.

I agree

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Who’s defensive? I already explained why these laws you hate exist AND I don’t support police who are bullies or do illegal things AND I arrest those who truly are reckless or criminals. you are arguing that all criminal arrests should be reactive not proactive

Pre-crime...

 

[DancingOutlaw]

This is just Antifa type nonsense and can’t be taken seriously. “Some good cops” I’ve worked for over 20 plus years and the number of bad officers I’ve seen is probably 2-5% and 99% of those are weeded out and fired pretty quickly. People don’t become police officers for money or pension or to bully others. I 100% value the right of citizens and I work to keep them safe and to enforce law and order as sworn to uphold the Constitution. Again you just seem to hate any authority probably stemming from an early life issue with your parents.
if We met on the street you would probably would have contempt and hatred for me just because I’m in uniform when in reality I’d probably be one of the nicest people you ever met

I really couldn’t care less about this number, because how many videos have we seen of a cop beating the **** out of a suspect while a dozen watch? The “good cops” aren’t participating but they’re damn sure not stopping him either. And certainly not arresting him.

So you believe people should be allowed to drive drunk, shoot guns in the air, stand in middle of road etc? Just want to make sure that is your take

A small amount of videos doesn’t represent the great majority of officers so again youre generalizing

Until someone breaks the law what do think people should be allowed to do?

 

[Rickyvol77]

Until someone breaks the law what do think people should be allowed to do?

But those things are
1) against the law
2) actions which puts others at risk

So I asked you this question: "Until someone breaks the law what do think people should be allowed to do?"
And this was your response?

My response to that is people are free to do whatever they want as long as it’s legal and doesnt put others in danger. Which the examples I have do

Here is one problem as I see it: "The 47-year-old police officer was driving a 2019 Nissan GTR"
Maybe it's me but I wasn't able to afford a Nissan GTR, but a cop can? Something is a little fishy here.

He’ll go to prison

He’ll go to prison

Yeah, maybe.

All you need to do is hear the first minute of the video.

"You dont risk an innocent person's life to catch a guilty person. You would rather the guilty person get away than an innocent person lose their life."

So a drunk guy runs a stop sign into traffic, and died because he wasn’t wearing his seat belt and you believe the officer who hit him should be jailed?

The cop was doing over twice the speed limit through the intersection. Had he been following the law this never happens. I think we can all agree if a cop ran a stop sign and got tboned by a civilian doing twice the speed limit he’d be under the jail.

The speeding was not the primary cause of the accident. Yea guess they could’ve given him a ticket but the accident was the fault of the guy who
- was driving drunk (which is harmless according to you all)
- ran a stop sign
- wasn’t wearing a seat belt

If any of those things were different, the accident wouldn’t have occurred

So if the cop had been driving the speed limit the results would have been the same? He was not supposed to be driving anyways, he was in violation of department policy and off duty at the time. This guy was a Texas Ranger and the Texas Rangers conducted the accident investigation even though the accident occurred in a jurisdiction with a police force. He wasn’t even given a speeding ticket. You know, the same treatment a normal person would get.

 

[Weezy]

I just want to say Rickyvol is the sane, reasonable one here. A quick reading of this thread would not give that impression. I didn't think this was Twitter where everyone is full of **** idiots.

I’ve had plenty of people that have been speeding and even caused accidents but I didn’t give tickets too. However even then, the officer didn’t cause the accident. Which was clearly obvious
