Crowd unhappy with police shooting career criminal after attempted murder on Boston officer.
As a Boston police officer was being treated for a gunshot to the face Friday night, Superintendent-in-Chief William Gross found himself explaining to a small crowd why officers opened fire on the suspected shooter.
In a YouTube video posted after the incident, Gross is seen offering to “respectfully” explain what happened to a group of bystanders, not seen on camera, who pepper him with occasionally hostile questions. “Officers did a motor vehicle stop,” Gross explains after waiting for them to quiet down. “As the officer is taking him out the car, he shot the officer in the face, and the officers returned fire. That was it, short and sweet.” “Y’all don’t have no protocol, any other way?” one young man is heard saying. “You got to shoot somebody?” Gross interjects: “Did you hear the part where he shot the officer in the face?” “You’re trained for this though,” says the young man. The moment provides a stark look at the tension between police and the people who live in the neighborhoods they are sworn to protect—especially in the moments after an officer-involved shooting. In the confrontation with the crowd, Gross is asked why the suspect’s body was left out in the street after he was shot. Gross explains that the body needed to stay in place as part of the investigation.
“If the body’s deceased on the scene, it comes under the jurisdiction of the district attorney’s office, and can’t be removed until the district attorney gives his say so with the medical examiner,” Gross said. “While there, we covered the body, via screen, trying to be respectful so that nobody could look in... covered the body, and that’s it.” Gross is also asked if the suspect was handcuffed after shots were exchanged. “I don’t know that. I wasn’t here for that,” Gross says. A young man also says an officer insulted him and that officers put their hands on him and others while moving them around the crime scene. Gross tells him to complain to internal affairs. The questioner, obviously frustrated with the answer, says he wants Gross to help him himself. The questioner, who seems to know Gross, tells him he’s cutting off whatever relationship they have had in the past. “Go back to your pigs,” the young man says. “No more diplomacy. When you see me out, no more peace talks, it’s war right now. No more peace talks. You know what it is now.” Gross tells the questioner he’s had his “15 seconds of fame,” and walks away. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2015/03/29/did-you-hear-the-part-where-shot-the-officer-the-face/ti2sPPfrUHBJckJ3VauoMJ/story.html?p1=feature_pri_hp

There really is no hope left for that state. Sad, I grew up there, and I like Boston. Which is saying something, because I loathe cities.

Gross interjects: “Did you hear the part where he shot the officer in the face?” “You’re trained for this though,” says the young man. Absolutely correct. Its called marksmanship and it sounds like the training worked perfectly. Seriously? How do you train to get shot in the face? |

Yeah, those were really hitting the news then. Along with with discussions of how black communities should be policed by only black cops. Lucky for me it was treading into the realm of separate but equal discussions, not just in tweets, hashtags but mainstream media. Even my favorite Urban Nation channel was favoring it. |

One shooting of a cop with a single dead attacker in a metro area of something like 4 million people is now a war or sign of sure collapse? No,it's just a statistic and gnashing teeth about it is akin to liberals flying off the handle about "gun violence". Sorry,bad people do bad things...it's why there is a police department to begin with.

Police officer should have employed techniques of community policing. Instead of shooting, he should have opened his arms wide for a hug, a universally recognized sign of peace and understanding. Then, he should have invited the young person into the mobile safe space that lesser officers call a patrol vehicle. A properly equipped mobile safe space would have had stuffed animals, Play Dough, coloring books and be painted in friendly, soothing colors. There, the officer should have offered him an EBT card, or a second if he already had one. He should have offered him a Section 8 house, and utilities assistance so he can keep the heat up in the winter hot enough to grow orchids. After all, you can always call your case worker to open a window for you if it gets too hot. Then, he should have offered him a job application, and they could both share the merriment that comes with fantasy. Then the officer should have offered him an Obamaphone to go with the eleven he already has. A dozen is a nice, round number. Then, he should have offered him a college application and scholarship, because all the young people who can't count beyond their shoe size (why would you ever need to?) must waste four years of free education and support. Of course, let's make sure he has a license and a DemocRat voter card! Perhaps offer him a workers' compensation claim form for the injury he sustained while wondering what it would be like to get a job.
Nah, fuck him. Good shoot. |
