They simulated a live shooter situation using a mall setting, with law enforcement officers clearing out the store. They hit them with some curves, pregnant lady was a shooter, that sort of thing. My son was amazed at how stressful the trainees found it just to simulate the danger, and was told how frequently the trainees make mistakes that would be life-threatening in a real life encounter. i was never interested in that sort of profession, and cannot imagine how difficult it can be. To see massive amounts of people turn on the hundreds of thousands of officers like this is heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking, yet not surprising. I’m sure most if not all of these rioters are virtue signalers when it comes to Covid 19 mask shaming, racism , Trump etc etc. Virtue signalers tend to be the biggest liars imo. Inside, they’re hiding something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not uncommon for some delay in charges when an arrest is not made on the scene, regardless if it's a cop involved, and even when it's clear an arrest is imminent. It makes even more sense in this situation because it happened in the course of an arrest in such a way that, while it was obvious misconduct, there were clearly some questions as to what the appropriate charges would be. Unless there were a genuine concern of a danger to the community or risk of flight it would have been highly unusual for the officer to have been arrested right away. I’ll agree with this. Our legal system isn’t known for being swift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that would be the perfect thing to have average citizens go through just to gain some insight into what those situations are like. It can be stressful, even absent real life consequences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they not take him into custody as a person of interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew who did what, they probably just wanted some time to figure out how to handle it. There was no urgency wrt the arrest. The delay isn't really a legitimate concern. It's fairly common. It's just being proffered as an excuse to justify the outrage directed beyond the perpetrator himself. 8 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: It's easier to point the finger at one person than examine the structural problems in our society that leads to situations like this.

I would argue that things would not have boiled over to the extent they did if it didn’t take 48 hours for something to happen. However, that doesn’t absolve the bad actors at all. How is a person under investigation for possible charges NOT a person of interest? I honestly don’t know, I just watch Law & Order.

I couldn’t quite square what amounts to “follow an organized process” with you being a bad cop. But if you’re constantly winning, well that could be Patriots territory and I may have to rethink everything.

With the benefit of hindsight they may have charged him sooner, but mob appeasement is not usually cause for a rushed investigation. There is really no other benefit to a hurried arrest. As far as person of interest, that typically is another way of saying suspect, as in someone you suspect of committing the act. They already knew who committed the act, the question was how to deal with it. But regardless of that, you can't hold a person of interest, other than a brief Terry Stop, without arresting him. Prior to his arrest the suspect is free to walk away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes a person of interest is someone they "know" committed the act, but need to question etc. to gather enough to level charges, no? Maybe you're right and there was no way to expedite the process. But I can't help but feeling some of this chaos was avoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that's true, but "person of interest" doesn't connote any legal status. If the cops want to bring him in for questioning they can ask him, but if he tells them to ***** off they can only arrest him or honor his request. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
