It's not like they knocked him out cold, curb stomped his unconscious head and left him in the street a bloody mess. If I'm being "chased" by those *****, you're damn right they'll be dodging hot lead as they're chasing me Great. So you’re going to show up at violent protest with a gun. What ever could go wrong? Hot lead. ?
Keukasmallies Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) We can dance around any number of suggestions/recommendations after the fact; isn't the real issue extremist groups that, in a sense, lay in wait for an issue then pounce on it? Are there any forward thinking officials in our various governments with a macro view of our society beyond just the deep partisan divides that characterize every important issue? Is there anything, other than one's reelection, that is important enough to garner a bipartisan approach to its resolution? Not yet.... Edited May 31, 2020 by Keukasmallies 2

Good question. I also want to see the responses based on the city's mayor's political affiliation. Then, the governor's political affiliation. Were D or R tougher on these criminals? Was it all catch and release? Who funded the looting and rioting? Lots of questions, few answers right now. The last thing normal people want is another summer of '68. 1

I am curious, is there any internal mechanisms to deal with officers who get a little too extreme in carrying out their duty? ie fellow officers reporting heavy handedness and working within the system to help the reported officer adjust their responses before it becomes a problem? Or does it need external evidence, video or citizen complaints/charges, to precipitate internal action? TIA Edited May 31, 2020 by GaryPinC

Agreed. But, these are not organic "protests." They are ginned up riots. The advertising was out days ago (I mentioned it in this thread days ago). They were advertising for people to come "protest" in major cities across the US. Now, toss in some paid Antifa, and BOOM! People have a right to peaceful assembly. They do not have a right to set fires to building, break and enter, loot, assault or kill. Whoever is funding this *cough* should be brought up on charges. Now, find them. Which is not going to be easy even though everyone "knows" who it starts with. And, you've got to be able to prove they are funding these riots. The money men (women) can afford some pretty high-priced legal talent. 4

Jeez, you give the kid life and he won’t spot you an AR-15? ? My brother was out driving around Roch last night, called me and I told him about the problems I read about here. He said he had just seen several police cars speeding past and thought there was an accident ahead. His next reply was “Frig....I don’t have my gun with me.” Late 50s, tough enough guy, never thought I’d ever hear my brother utter those words in Suburban Rochester. Btw he didn’t say “Frig”.... 1 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Note: no one knows if this man handing out money is Antifa, although he does have the uniform. However, this is ummm interesting. 1

I got a Facebook post from a friend in CA before she had to pull it for safety reasons. There was another officer shot with Mr. Underwood. It is her first husband, the father of her children. The men were guarding the Federal Building in Oakland when someone did a drive-by. Underwood died but the other officer underwent surgery and is recovering in the hospital.
