To Protect and to Serve II

They didn't escalate anything, they just attempted to cut his grass as they asked him to do while also advising they would do it for him if he did not. He shot at them, which of those two parties was reasonable?

You tell me? Camouflage cops carrying "Assault Rifles" or a guy defending his property. You know if the dick wads that came on his property had announced themselves and told the guy what they were doing, maybe this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

A Black Louisiana cop was charged after being accused of tasing suspect who called him racial slurs during an arrest, reports say

You are everything that is wrong with police.

Yea you believe people should be able to kill someone who is on their property legally

OK, so how were they able to cut his grass without his permission to be on his property?

There you go with that word "legally" again.

Just because it is "legal", that doesn't mean it is right.

Again. Do you believe it’s right to shoot someone in your yard mowing?

Maybe they should have tried a medical intervention before bringing in the landscapers. Trespassing and brute force were not the only tools they had available to them.

SWAT officers arrived at the home around 10:45 a.m., joined by mental health officers and a crisis negotiator, Chacon said.

It depends on the situation. Are they threatening me? Are they appearing to ambush my home or destroy property? A lot of variables and unknowns in your hypothetical situation.

Lol you can’t kill someone for simply being on your property

So the city needs to employ medical intervention every time someone violates a code? Are you serious

I said it depends on the situation. Is my life being threatened or in danger? What if I "feel" that my life is in danger? What if I thought they were coming to ambush me or attack me?

The way you cops complain about your jobs, I'm really surprised that you all are able to find the time to action enforce codes to be honest. But apparently, you seem to think that this is a worthwhile use of police and city personnel time.

They didn't need it, he was in violation of local codes. What they did was not unlawful.

Right, is that what you're claiming happened?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

You're making the assumption that property ownership exists in this country

Underrated post.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Don’t live in a city with ordinances. It’s common knowledge that cities have codes.

I thought everyone knew this. Like in Knoxville if the city has to come cut your grass its a minimum of $250 and they will come and cut it.

I can relate to the "your license plate bulb is burned out speel" Does this crap make you feed like a big man @Rickyvol77?

I never pulled someone over for that so you tell me

Apparently your brethren feel the need to do that, I just assumed that you did too. I've never been arrested, but the fine police officers felt justified to pull me over for having a burned out license plate light, just one of two was out mind you.

Everyone is fully aware of how it works. No one is surprised or shocked by this...

You are the sheep these cops need to fleece. Tinted windows, a busted blinker, rolling stop, 15 mph over the limit on the interstate... gotta get these peasants to pony up.

I thought I had read that this wasn't the first time that they had been to and cut the grass back. I dont recall an incident the first time.

Obviously I don't like the outcome that occurred, however how do you think would have been the best way to handle it?
