Precisely this. A missing plate does not justify a guns drawn response. Both these officers are idiots and should not be cops. How bright were they to do all of this nonsense in full view of body cams?
I’ll agree the LT. was non-compliant, and his evening would likely have been better if he obeyed commands, but officer you will respect my authoriti was way over the top in his approach too. I don’t think I’d have been too keen on stepping out of the car on the orders of 2 screaming psychos...
1. Restricting trade on any imported firearms/ammo. What will ammo cost if all the cheap Russian imports dry up?
2. Directing the ATF to reinterpret their guidance on what is legal or not legal. (remember bump stocks?) They can do a lot of damage with this one.
It seems the officers in this case lied to both the husband and wife to obtain the firearms. They should be held accountable. And there is no way we want warrantless seizures to be green lit. Hopefully the black robes will do their job on this one.
I did not say it was justified. It was not. But if the deceased had shut their traps when the shooter walked away they would probably all still be alive.
It can, as this incident shows. As I said, you never know what the other guy is capable of in the heat of the moment. Something to consider before engaging in verbal altercations. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
While I can’t condone shooting unarmed individuals, they did a whole lot to bring it on themselves. Something everyone should remember before getting into a shouting match. You never know what the other guy is capable of in the heat of the moment.
He won’t resign, and I doubt the legislature has the will to impeach him. I saw a poll recently (after his issue started) that claimed that NYC still gives him high marks for his covid response.
Remember, Obama purged a large number of senior officers that didn’t agree with him politically. The ones left are all going to tow the ideological line.
It's amazing to watch the Democrats go all-in on the "diversity at all costs" agenda. This is setting the stage for them to get handed their asses in 2022. With no bad orange man to drive turnout.
