Here is your PhD.

Pretty easy to say watching the video, but I'd bet you'd be all over the complaint forms if this happened in your workplace and the cops response was "Eh, we're just going to wait for him to be ready"

Yeah dude, maybe it wasn't immediately effective but repetitive baton strikes and taser will take their toll. Why not use the tools they provide and jump right into opening yourself up for injury?

Came for this.

It should also be noted that "Salty" is a term used with great regularity among the armed services, especially the Marine Corps. It is used to describe someones exaggerated level of experience with the most difficult of things.

IE: "Thats Sgt Roundhouse, don't fuck with him. He's extremely salty, and just got back…

I have submitted this reply to the actual article, but it is not likely to been seen down there in the land of the grey. I also see you post quite regularly around here so perhaps more people will see this response also.

I would like to take this opportunity to discuss a few things, given my situation.

I would like to take this opportunity to discuss a few things, given my situation.
Full disclosure, I have been in state level law enforcement for 5+ years now.

A few points,

I would really like to see the method that civil forfeiture is tallied, and meet the officers who seize a lot of items. As I said, I've been in…

You win the internetz.

Spot on.

V8, RWD, Rare, Discontinued, Made in America, 6-10% Jalop.

Good attempt though.

Buy me dinner to keep me on their good side? Now I know I am just a stupid naïve pig, but how in the fuck is that an effective strategy when they remain anonymous? I don't even want to discuss that odd rambling about Ponzi schemes and generous donations which amount to bribery. I don't need that lecture, it's quite…

I suppose the somewhat common occurnace of strangers buying my dinner when I actually have the time to sit down and eat is merely a ploy.

Well if you are trying to compare this situation, with someone doing this same act to me, as a police officer, not a whole lot changes. You obviously have the assault on an officer but as far as joyriding vs stealing a car goes, you'd have a difficult time proving in court that someone who took a vehicle from E 2nd…

Wow buddy, I don't know where to start here. I suppose my 6+ years in law enforcement and hundreds of arrests don't hold up to internet comments.

-Any misdemeanors that did not occur in your presence, require an arrest warrant to arrest. (Assault, Battery, Joyriding, as per the article)

- I have inquired drivers…

I am sure.

Careful, don't go looking up statistics, wouldn't want your world to come shattering down around you if you realized that well over 90% of cops do their jobs flawlessly.

That would sure throw a wrench into the "fuck em all" scenario.

"Plugged his name into the computer". What do you think DMV files come up with a huge banner that says "WARNING, IS A COP". All they have is his license information.

The reality of the situation is, it was 3am. If they didn't witness the events, a warrant would have to be obtained. Just like for you. Judges aren't…

Don't trip over yourself assuming.

Yeah, we are trained to find people., but after he fled a warrant would be needed. Which is hard to obtain at 3am. Which is most likely the reason he was arrested in the morning.

I am complicit? You don't know me, or where I work, or our reputation. Hint: I don't have to defend any…

Well I guess that makes you extremely narrow minded, kinda stupid too. I am not sure where you picked up I was defending this guy, when I was dismissing your judgement of hundreds of thousands of Americans based on this mans actions.

Clearly.

Google the story. Every single other reporting of this incident stated the accused fled the scene prior to arrival.....buddy. This is the only version of the story that remains vague. Even the super liberal rawstory.com article says he fled the scene and the police searched the neighboorhood but could not locate him.

Or, he fled shortly prior when he learned their arrival was imminent. Again, even the Rawstory.com version of this story stated he "fled the scene" and the police searched the surroudning nerghboorhood but could not locate him.

Fuck em', fuck em all. Every last one. Regardless of personal merit, religion, race, or gender. Fuck em.


The sourced article here is the only one which is vague about the interaction between the cops and the accused. Where they there? Did they confront him? Did he flee? It's not very definitive. Yet, every other…
