But the expectation should be for all cops to be perfect at all times or else it proves a corrupt system in need of communization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beyond frustrated at our current situation and sickened by that video of Buffalo, and am waffling between fascism and almost fascism. Micro-victory for you.

I was there tonight. It was a bad brew on both sides. Camo officers staged out of sight behind the city court building about three hours before that happened. Protestors were an eclectic bunch. Cops I talked to seemed pissed off to be there. It was easy to tell something unfortunate would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 2 minutes ago, Magox said: This is how intellectually bankrupt the left is. Who is defending the actions of those 2 cops? It’s inexcusable and they should be charged with some sort of criminal charges. The left wants to create these bogeymen out of the police. People are people, whether they are lawyers, doctors, janitors or police officers, you have good and bad people. I happen to find police officers in general to be very honorable and brave. They risk their lives so #######s on message boards can cry “fascism” when they truly don’t understand the word fascism as it’s the buzzword du jour. One cannot possibly and reasonably make such a charge without knowing the assailant. I asked in the Buffalo thread, but maybe here will get an answer.. What would you expect them to be charged with? He approached them, they told him to get away, he still approached, they pushed, he stumbled backwards and fell. Leaving him there bleeding is where they were wrong, in my opinion. And the one cop pushing the other cop away was terrible. But, maybe neither were trained to help and the national guard guys were trained to help? I will be curious what the law enforcement guys here will think of the incident, and what they think charges, if any, should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all going to go back to normal guys. It was a perfect system with no need for change whatsoever. We'll be enjoying water parks and having office happy hours again in no time.

He shouldn’t have been pushed considering his age and that he wasn’t a threat. They may not have intended to injure him but they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably going to get fired, and that’s too bad. But he did not have to hit the guy. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got there pretty quickly thereafter. That part looked worse than it actually was. Just no need to hit the guy whatsoever. That was not protect and serve.
