For cryin out loud PGA. You make it sound like these guards tag teamed the guy. I watched the video and I never saw more than three guards in contact with him at one time. Bad footage and as someone in the thread said, “you don’t know the surrounding circumstances.”
Further more if you watch these guys they never appear to be doing more than controlling him with tactics that guards as well as cops are trained to use. For the most part they look relaxed. I didn’t see him being “SLAMMED” to the ground at all.
With that being said, let me add that I hate it when people bash law enforcement as a whole PGA, I hope one day you have the opportunity to be in that poor boys neighborhood and find out first hand what probably got him into boot camp in the first place. Maybe one of us punk ass pigs will save your ass. Maybe not.
Not only do you lack professionalism, pointed out by one of your bretheren, you’re also terrible at looking at the evidence. You CLEARLY didnt read this thread. You jumped to conclusions and made up my disposition in your head. I hope your police work isnt as shotty as your thread reading skills. I said NUMEROUS times in this thread that NOT ALL cops are bad.
In case you missed it…
"Nobody is saying cops are bad as a whole, well at least I’m not, but thanks for generalizing and assuming.?
There was this one also…
“No where did I say ALL COPS.”
Did you miss this, it was the FIRST sentence of the thread. I highlighted words that should be glaring apparent that I was not generalizing cops from the get go. But had you had the mental stability to actually read posts before going on something one might call a “rage” you would have noticed it…
“Yeah thats right I’m calling these punk ass mother fucking cops, pigs”
This will probably be the one and only time I respond to one of your cop posts as I don’t have much respect for what you put on here.
If someone came on here and constantly said " not all [fill in the blank racial or ethnic group] are bad." Then, every
chance he got he found an article or news story about [fill in the blank racial or ethnic group] doing something wrong(and it should be noted that we are only talking about possible wrongdoing in some of these police situations) and posted it with a bunch of ranting about that group, complete with racial slurs, (“pigs” essentially being the equivalent) we should still think that person is reasonable and not carrying a bizarre bias?
Oh wait, I can already hear the screeching about never criticizing the police when they are wrong and so forth.
I’m not saying that. I’m saying there are two ways to do it, an educated open minded way, and a childish, biased way.
You always chose the latter. As a cop, I know better than any of you how many screw ups go on. Whenever I see it in my personal career, I do the right thing…try and find a solution to it so it doesn’t happen again. I’ve never read anything from you that was constructive…just venom.
I’m reminded of the famous man in the arena statement by Teddy Roosevelt.
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
You are the critic. You’ll never shoot the wrong person by mistake or make a call that is wrong and costs someone dearly, despite your best efforts and intentions. You know why? Because you are not the man in the arena. You don’t go into the dark places or the homes of violent people to maintain order and protect life. You aren’t faced with extreme situations and you will never no what it is like. You are in a very safe place, making smart-ass remarks from behind a keyboard.
A fellow officer above got pretty angry with your shit and made a comment about not helping you that maybe he regrets. I understand where his anger comes from, but let me say this. If you ever wound up in my jurisdiction, even if I knew you were Mr. PGA the petulant cop-hater, I would help you if you needed it. I would hook the defib to your chest if your heart stopped, I would wrestle the drunk who was kicking your ass in a bar, I would fight the guy who broke in your home to kill you.
Maybe you should sit down and think for a few minutes where this strange hatred comes from. I suspect there is still a lot of growing up you need to do and this strange grudge you carry probably stems from a weak ego.
I’m sure a lot of cops read some of the garbage you post and just shake their heads. Its really nothing new to us and that is why so few respond to what you put up here.
I’ve said my piece.[/quote]
Brilliant. Thank you for your input JD, you have much more restraint than myself. I’d like to comment on what you said though. I do not regret what I said to PGA but I do appologize for not being clear in my last line saying, "Maybe one of us punk ass pigs will save your ass. Maybe not. As I do not expect anyone to read between my lines. My intent was to say that maybe there will be a cop THERE TO HELP. Maybe not.
