The person arrested gets tried in a court, unless they are killed or beaten to a pulp before then. Criminals are held accountable

Majority of the public blindly worship police like you by the sound of it. Majority of the public only look at things from the officer's lens (sound familiar?)

Not really just presume it's kevlar what can stop bullets , if it can stop a bullet can't see why it can't stop a knife. Due to the crims disablity no way he's generating much force in a throw.

Kevlar will not stop a knife stab. Not to mention the head is a target and the groin. I used to keep a riot shield and a five foot long pole in my cruiser for situations like this.

I don't know the circumstances at play here, but I can tell you this is outlier if true. Few are willing to stake thier career on something so petty and heinous. And it takes nearly a month to stave someone

Are we supposed to hold random assholes to the same standard as a police officer who is an agent of the state?
 
Jason Whitlock has been watching old Tommy Sotomayor videos.

Police officers should be held to a very high standard but when you deal day in and day out with random assholes and the world blames everything on you, some cops will snap or have a short fuse. As a society we should be looking to better ourselves and act like adults. Instead the adults are acting more and more like spoiled children. Then when a police encounter goes south, only the police are blamed even when they act appropriately to the situation they were put in to by the criminal.

I saw that. The sheriff's deputy shot through his own car at a detained suspect.

He already resigned and the sheriff's office said his use of force was inappropriate and will be used in future training materials.
 

MN state trooper was 'hauling a--' before Rochester crash that killed teen: Charges​


ROCHESTER, Minn. (FOX 9) - A Minnesota state trooper is now charged with manslaughter after a deadly crash in Rochester, Minnesota, in May that claimed the life of an Owatonna teen.

Trooper Shane Roper, 32, is charged with manslaughter, criminal vehicular homicide, criminal vehicular operation, careless driving, and reckless driving for the May 18 crash that left 18-year-old Olivia Flores dead.



Before the crash​

According to the criminal complaint filed Tuesday, Trooper Roper was working traffic enforcement around 5:40 p.m. at the 6th Street SW ramp to Highway 52 when he saw a minor traffic offense.


The charges detail: "After observing an apparent petty traffic offense, Roper entered his squad car and drove southbound onto Highway 52. Data retrieved from his squad car and its equipped camera revealed that Roper activated his emergency lights and accelerated to 98 miles per hour on Highway 52. Roper's vehicle slowed for traffic as he exited onto 12th Street SW to head eastbound, still following the vehicle suspected of committing a petty traffic offense. Once Roper maneuvered around traffic and entered 12th Street SW, he turned his emergency lights off and accelerated with a fully engaged throttle. In less than a quarter of a mile, Roper's squad car reached a speed of 83 miles per hour. The speed limit on this road is 40 mph."

Roper moved eastbound "at full throttle" on 12th Street SW toward the intersection of Apache Drive SW – the entrance to the mall. It would be at this spot that Trooper Roper would crash into a Ford Focus carrying Flores. The Focus, which was headed westbound, was making a left-hand turn into the mall when it was T-boned by Trooper Roper.

The crash​

The complaint points out that the stretch of road near the mall can be tough to navigate. The late afternoon and evening hours on the weekend are heavy traffic times for the mall. Plus, the charges state there is a crest in the roadway from the overpass over Highway 52, which limits the distance that westbound vehicles can see.

Further obstructing the view of the westbound Focus was an eastbound SUV also making a left-hand turn. Due to the speed he was driving, Trooper Roper wasn't able to stop in time when the Focus made its turn.

"Due to Roper's excessive speed (traveling 83 mph and at full throttle up until 1.4 seconds before impact), when the Ford Focus started through the intersection, Roper was unable to sufficiently brake or maneuver his squad car to avoid the collision," the charges state.

Trooper Roper's squad hit the Focus' passenger side. Flores was sitting in the rear passenger's side seat. She died from her injuries. The driver of the Focus suffered a liver laceration, a bruised kidney, and "numerous" other injuries. The front passenger suffered a broken pelvis, a lacerated kidney, and several other injuries.

Roper's statements after the crash​

After the collision, Trooper Roper agreed to speak with investigators. He told officers he was trying to trail a driver he suspected of a traffic violation. He told police he was trying to "close the gap" between that driver and wasn't paying attention to his speed. He also clarified he wasn't in an active chase – just trying to catch up with that driver.

Roper's statements after the crash​

Officers also found that in just the three hours leading up to the crash, Trooper Roper had accelerated more than 99 mph on multiple occasions to make traffic stops. In one instance, his speed hit 135 mph on his way to a medical call.

Thought this was worth bumping this thread for



Interesting video about a citizen correctly handling cops coming to his door in the middle of the night and demanding repeatedly he come out to answer their questions.

Odd?
Very odd.

Even more odd that the cops were wearing black gloves and they were planning on immediately cuffing him.

Unfortunately there wasn't an update regarding what was the cops motive to ambushing a citizen in the middle of the night, without a warrant. But this is a clear reminder to always be on your guard about cops as if they're criminals with badges.... which could be far worse than actual criminals.

It's also easy to say that while not being a cop with the guy threatening to throw a knife at you. Please take that into account as well. Also please take into account that the cops don't just show up and start shooting immediately. The guy wasn't complying. I'd say almost all of the blame lands squarely on him.

Absolutely Correct USA.

In this example, that guy with the knife didn't have a leg to stand on.

Couldn’t pay me enough to be an armed security guard because of situations like this. I dunno much of the details but if you’re on a shooting scene and you have a gun, you’re likely getting capped if you’re not a uniformed police officer. Armed guards are also criminally underpaid.

It's a damn epidemic. So many law enforcement officers are assholes and don't know the Bill of Rights. I can't see your Facebook video, but I'm sure it's fucked.
