crockett Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Found that video a week ago or so. I'd see that as a bystander, I'd give ONE warning, and I'd shoot that guy if he wouldn't get off the LEO immediately or if he would go for his firearm. Entitled shits, thanks to the left wing bias pushed everywhere combined with no proper upbringing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPTim Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The police should be able to give “people” like this the Tommy Lee Jones treatment to scum suckers. I shouldn’t have watched that video, it just enrages me with no outlet for the stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While morally it's the right thing to do to help someone who can't defend themselves. Legally on the other hand it could be seen as interfering with police work. While that is a big maybe, it's still a legal possibility. I seem to remember reading a story a long time ago where some female cop was getting her ass handed to her by some drunken idiot at Mardi Gras and a guy from the crowd came in to save her and while getting the drunk off of her, he accidentally elbowed the cop in the face or something like that and he got charged. Like the old saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. I'm very critical of cops in case that wasn't obvious, but as a Christian I just can't let someone who can't defend themselves be a sitting duck. It's a very mentally difficult situation for a civilian to be in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellik Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I have the same hesitations. And have doubts about stepping up to defend those that refuse to defend themselves. If this is a cop, he has a gun, the holy oil of the anointing, and a dog beater. One of these sons-of-barak, should be of the ground regretting their choice to attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAKA Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 These days you need to be very careful about getting involved in a "situation", much as you might want to, you could wind up in serious trouble.... Much as I'd hate to...I think I'd "mind my own business".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very mentally difficult situation for a civilian to be in. Helping a LEO that is about to pass out and still being beaten and strangulated by several people will never be seen as interfering with police work, let alone in Florida. Also, for me, integrity stands higher than being fearful. How would you feel if they manage to remove his firearm and kill him, due to your inactivity? Carrying a firearm and possessing a conceal carry license has a purpose. It is in place to defend yourself AND OTHERS in life threatening situations. I think too many don't keep up with training as well as federal, state and local laws in order to know what to do when a situation like this presents itself! Learn to do the right (and legal) thing when it is needed. Good example... and this LEO is only being beaten by one suspect... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get strangulated and are about to pass out, you don't refuse to defend yourself, you have been overpowered. The big issue is the officer's gun indeed. Once it gets into the hands of those suspects, it only adds to the risk of him and others (including me as a bystander) to be shot. If you wait until its in the hand of the suspects, it may be too late to defend his or your life. Integrity is colorblind. I don't play by those racial tension put on us for political gain. A suspect (or suspects in this case) actively putting the life of a human being at high risk requires a good guy to step up and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 There have always been a few out there that will fight for almost no reason at all. First pursuit I was in as a rookie went tearing across town at over 100mph. The reason for the stop was a burnt out taillight. The guy in the car had misdemeanor warrants so he ran, he wasn't even facing jail time on those warrants, they were cite and release. So across town we go, flying through peoples yards, out into the country, back into town, out into the country, back into town where it stopped when he hit a building. Then we found the red phosphorous. Bomb tech said it was enough to destroy the car and probably would have a decent damage radius. No drugs, doubt we could have gotten PC to search the car if he had just been cool about it. But cool about it wasn't how he thought. Oh well, we were really good at catching the dumb ones.

holyjohnson Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 it is past time for LEOs to partner up and Two to a car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better in terms of Officer safety to make all officers ride two to a car. My medium sized department of roughly 1000 officers wouldn't be able to make that change without hiring several hundred more officers. Two man cars eats up way more manpower. We are simply too short on manpower as it is, and there is no reason to believe that will change any time soon. We have reached a point where we attempt to create an academy class of 48 new recruits, and end up with half that number. It won't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
