BTW: Police Unions are the same as Auto Workers, Teachers, Longshoreman, Teamsters, etc., Unions.
Just about protecting their membership, increasing their pay, and 'lining' their own pocket.

Hmm Teamsters:)


I forgot to mention that 'Semper fi' doesn't have any borders.
Four Swedish police officers took a break from their New York vacation to answer the call of duty, breaking up an out-of-control fight between two homeless men on a Manhattan subway train.

Hmm Teamsters:)

Janne...
He did great by them. While 'Lining' his pockets.
Neither Union Leadership, nor Capitalists, are nice people.
However, as Understanding History shows:
These two Bums, fighting each other, equals... Nirvana for The Union Workers.

Union Leadership...
Dozens of demonstrators forced the temporary closure of the Louisville Metro Police headquarters on Monday afternoon in a protest that sought the firing of the local police union leader for his reaction to an officer-involved fatal shooting.
The local Fraternal Order of Police chapter said Thursday in a letter to the community that "sensationalists, liars and race-baiters" were putting Louisville in danger, prompting calls for the resignation of chapter President Dave Mutchler.

Kinda reminds me of The KKK.

I'm old enough to remember KKK from the sixties.
Burning crosses and taking the law in their own hands:(
If a black person did something "wrong" it was alright to kill that person.
Why bother the police...
That's "Home Sweet Alabama".

Gary...

We (those with ethics, tolerance, and morality) thank you for sharing this.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who is the most ...... of them all?

Just using your own description of those ethics, tolerance, and morality.

So happy to be of service.

Gary,

How is this unjustified use of force by a police officer? Did you read the article you linked?

Police are called. Police arrive to find suspect bashing a woman's head into the ground. Police pull suspect off of woman. Suspect attacks police and grabs a taser from one of them. Police use taser twice on suspect, to no effect. Suspect continues to attack police.

At this point, police have a choice. Batons or bullets. They chose batons. It took 5 officers with batons to subdue the suspect enough to get him into cuffs, and he still continued to fight and struggle. Suspect attacks paramedic and police officer as he is being loaded into a vehicle for transport to the hospital.

Again, what is wrong here?

Sure, I will grant that just seeing the video only, without any knowledge of what lead up to that point, might appear to be somewhat over the top...

But, in my opinion, these officers deserve a medal. They arrived at a bad situation, used restraint in handling it, saved the life of the woman being assaulted (who was the suspect's own mother, by the way), managed to subdue the suspect without shooting him with their firearms, and took him to the hospital for prompt attention to his possible wounds.

What did these 5 police officers do wrong?

Gary,

Did I say it was unjustified? AFIK I just posted a link without saying another word. I did not express an opinion.

The Link was your opinion. Of course.

MajorKong...

Just Gary being, well... Gary.

Clyde, that's your opinion, you have no data to support your assertion.
Clyde I'm sorry that you are so negative. Critical thinking does not apply.

1 of the only people I see 'Outing' themselves around here is you Clyde, and you do it so well (you must be a professional). ;-)

Cheers.

Yes, I am probably more experienced, and possibly use my intelligence to a greater degree, than those I 'Out'.

Now that's highly debatable Clyde (maybe not in your mind), but I think that you missed out on a classic job with the circus (you would've done well there). ;-)

Have you ever thought about expanding vocabulary to save us from all these lefts, rights, hatefulls, nazis, etc, etc,.......

As for an "Intelligent Discussion", you've already proved to the rest of us that it's impossible for you to have 1.

Just the same hollows words and posts without any substance. :-(

Cheers.

Oh dear, more trigger happy cops. :-(

Something drastic will have to be done with the way police behave and are trained over there or the general public just won't have any confidence at all with them.

In fact they'll wind up being looked at as just another bunch of hoods.

Now Clyde you really are showing us all your true colours (and still with the same basic language skills), you really should stop blowing that hot air around (remember global warming?).

Some of still have hopes that you may grow up 1 day and be a respectable and responsible person, but then some of us are optimists.

Cheers.

Some one in this thread brought up the possibilty that its the hiring of combat veterans that is the reason they shoot first ask questions later.
Send a young soldier or Marine to a city where they face upclose combat. Yes its shoot first or die.
Then they come and and some become cops. I cant buy that either. Many WW2 vets became cops. So did Korean and VietyNam vets. And we didnt see all these shootings. Or was it not reported?
I dont have any answeres for whats going on.

Well, the reason might be that today they were cops and with rank when we sent them off to war as reserves, so when they came back they changed the training for rookie cops to shoot first, ask questions later.
