Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

[Archie Moses]

It seems to have escaped you that I already said once he grabbed the taser, the police didn't do anything wrong.

It did. I didn't see you said that. Was that in response to one of my posts?

Maybe we're just assuming we both read everyone's post and assuming all we say have been written to eachother?

Atlanta's new orders seem like they should have been the standard so long ago. To me, this should have been common sense and universal.


Gawd damn it.

• Officers are ordered to use only the amount of objectively reasonable force necessary to successfully protect themselves or others, to affect an arrest or bring an incident under control when dealing with members of the community, suspects, and detainees.
• The orders also require the reporting of all use of deadly force by a police officer to the Citizens Review Board.
• Atlanta Police must also adopt and implement a duty to intervene — whereby if a police officer sees another officer using force that is beyond reasonable under the circumstances, they are duty-bound to intervene and prevent that use of force, and must immediately report it.

I don't think you said what you meant to say, but at this point it seems like bickering anyhow.

I wish I could say the same for you but I know you mean it.

That is, and will continue to be, the result of a policy of incarcerating people immediately for drunk driving. If you support the incarceration, you by default support the shootings.

To all the victims of alcohol abuse, this is a naive and ignorant thought process. You'd rather protect the intoxicated person than victims of intoxication.


Are you for real?

"Every day, 29 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This is one death every 50 minutes. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion."

Victims of alcohol who have lost their lives roll their eyes at you. 100%... You're like the guy condoning police officers killing people because... because...

Listen to yourself, bro.

If anything don't **** the system for arresting them, **** the system for letting them out on bond so soon. **** drunk drivers. They kill way more people than cops.

Archie: intoxicated people make dumb choices. Brooks made a lot of dumb, irresponsible, wreckless and selfish decisions but I still think he shouldn't have been shot.

One Brow - Gameface - The Thriller: obviously, since they're intoxicated, calling them an Uber or sending them to their sister's house is the answer. **** the police for protecting the public.

Do you also agree that anyone caught speeding should be put in jail? Speeding kills as many people as drunk drivers. I do not know anyone who has been speeding who was handcuffed and taken to jail if they had not caused any property or bodily injury. Do you think the police choosing the death penalty for speeders is appropriate?

I understand that drunk driving is awful. But unless one is a perfect driver and never speeds or is distracted, that person is every bit as big a danger on the road. And it is their choices that cause the problem, just like someone driving impaired.

Speeders are ticketed and sent on their way. No telling if they will continue to speed and injure someone down the road. Impaired drivers should obviously not be sent on their way by driving their car away, but no reason they can't be sent home another way.

Comparing speeding to drinking and driving is like comparing whites shot compared to blacks. Educate yourself.

More people speed than drive drunk. One is more dangerous and it's not even arguable. **** those texting or distracted too. Stop condoning ******, selfish behavior.


Gawd damn it.

 

[Gameface]

I don't think it's up to discretion of the officer. I think it's SOP to cuff them and take them in. I know quite a few people who have been arrested for DUI. All of them were cuffed and taken in the cop car each time

Now maybe that should change but I think the cop was just doing what he is supposed to do by putting cuffs on the guy.

Yeah, I think it is the rule in Utah that if you get a DUI they take you in and book you into jail. That isn't to say you go into a jail cell. They just take you in and then you have to post bail before you leave.

 

[Getting Traded]

In NYS, some years ago, they passed a law against people using their cellphones, unless hands-free, while driving. Why? Because studies showed that doing so was as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. And as I think I mentioned earlier, DUI or DWI as they used to call it, is a misdemeanor unless it is a repeat offense, so it doesn't warrant jail time.

Also, I maintain that Brooks grabbed the taser not to use on the officer, but to prevent the officer from using it on him. You didn't see him tase them after he gained possession of it. He only fired back after they began to chase and attack him with their tasers.

Your referring to having a vehicle impounded (with all the associated expenses), a criminal conviction (with jail time and likely all the associated expenses), and a variety of other consequences as "protect", and you're asking if I'm for real. Just so you know how silly that sounds.

If an Uber is being called, they aren't driving. What danger do they present as an Uber passenger?

 

[Eminence]

To be clear, you do understand "don't arrest" is different from "don't prosecute", right?

I meant what I said. The cultural acceptance we have of drunk-driving is a joke and is one of the few areas in our judicial system we need to be a hell of a lot harsher.

What about cell phone use during driving? Why is Utah reluctant to pass a law prohibiting it, when it has been law for years in NYS?

Yes, Brooks should be penalized but not killed. Stop defending the indefensible behavior by police. Aren't they required to obey the law, aren't they required to value human life?
