Disarm the police!!!!

I agree

Dumb ass cop.

Oops!

Like most every one of these situations, the real fault starts with the so called "victim".

None of the above, not dead!

Thug cops!

PG,

Of course there are "bad apples", as there are in any grouping of people.

Clubber,

True that, and in some instances, there might be a couple of good apples in a group.

'Sides, the "Thug cops!" was more a comment towards SJG who seems to call people (especially bouncers) who don't meet his standards a "thug."

Clubber sez: "Like most every one of these situations, the real fault starts with the so called "victim".

RE: "...domestic dispute...", "...arrested Monday night...", "...domestic abuse...", "...altercation...", "...still threatened the officer...".

None of the above, not dead! "

Yeah, while that is true, and if the victim didn't do dumb shit to cause the cops to come in the first place, none of that would have happened.

However, that doesn't erase the cops' obligation to perform his duty in an intelligent manner. You could use the same logic on the cop's performance: if he hadn't done something stupid, the victim wouldn't have been shot. I'm assuming he made a big mistake...or three...and that will all come out.

I'm a huge supporter of the cops, and always give them the benefit of the doubt. But if the cop did something stupid, then maybe he shouldn't be a field cop anymore. Maybe he belongs at a desk.
