This is where im at. Shit kids walking all over the place fucking up the neighborhood? Sure. Did he mouth off something about shooting? Probably. Should something be done about it if this was the real america still? Hell yah. But, that cop mustve had a flash of thought for a second "Am I going to be the next zimmerman?" Then he proceeded to do everything in his power to become the next zimmerman. Bad choice. View Quote He was kind of like Custer, the really bad choices were made way earlier in the fight. |

honestly I can see justification when those kids jumped the hedge and came at him he was way overwhelmed - under the circumstances I think he'll get a talking to but not much more. the obvious question is how did this all get started, and was all this while waiting for the cops to arrive, because if that guy was detaining a suspect and facing a mob, I dont even see a talking to.

They surely knew he was a cop which is probably part of the reason why they were hassling him to begin with. They poked the bear one too many times.
On the other hand I also think off duty cops should have to play by the same rules as everyone else. So...fry everyone involved. |

The events in which the female and male trespassed originally happened before the video started. Why would the kids video tape themselves breaking the law? The urban yutes didn't start recording until the cop already had detained the main shit talker. lol. Apparently I have to explain this to you. Our junior latina cut across his yard. An offense that carries no legal punishment if she leaves when asked - which she did. So our flanneled crusader starts cursing grandpa style from his front porch. Can't say I blame him. Then Hector, protector of m'lady's honor, tells Lt. Flannelgraph to go fornicate himself. Which, while crude, breaks no laws. But our flanneled protector can't tolerate a diss. So he chases Hector down the street and assaults a minor. Without bothering to identify himself as a cop, the flannel crusader attempts to answer the age old question of how many teenagers could you fight by yourself. This fight takes place across two yards that are not his because flannel man is so very concerned about property rights. When it looks like Hector's friends were going to save him from his trip to uncle touchy's basement of debasement, the flannel crusader demonstrates his fastest draw in the west skills. But why stop impressing the neighborhood kids with your fast draw when you can put a bullet...somewhere? The mini stand off he had with the responding cops was a nice touch too. That's some mighty fine off duty work there, lou. |

If nothing else this video is great for demonstrating sympathetic muscle response. He pulls the trigger when he pulls on the kid. Keep your finger off the trigger dumbass.
Letting the kid go would most likely have de-escalated the situation, but I'm not sure I could let go of a 14 year old that threatened to shoot me either. |
|
Off duty cop told kids to stay off grass. Kid responded by telling off duty cop he will shoot him. Cop identified himself and takes kid into custody for criminal threats. Kid tries to escape custody, mob tries to rescue the little felon from custody. Cop caps off a round. More than one kid went to jail.
Protestors show up later and vandalize cops neighbors house ?? |

Great job by the cops in protecting his property and that of his neighbors.
Apparently a fair number of cars were vandalized, graffiti written and house windows smashed. Mighty fine police work there boys. Can't even protect the home of one of your own. Then again the "give them space to destroy" directive may have come down from above the top of law enforcement. |

This off-duty cop = negligent, short fused dumb ass. Again, another situation where having a gun does not mean you need to use it. He's most likely going to lose his job then his house and his beautiful lawn. Don't want kids walking on your lawn? Turn on the sprinklers. Walk your pitbull at the same time. Plenty of options. This guy gives police and guns a bad name. View Quote Those "kids" were as big as he was and he didn't draw until one of them tried to flank him. My only question is what prompted him to grab that one and not let go, that's the key to whether it was justifiable or not. |

What was his end game?
I don't know what he was doing or where he was going dragging that kid around? If you're going to carry your weapon, you better have restraint devices as well - dragging a kid around the neighborhood isn't a sound plan. |

Quoted:
Kind of sort of agree with you. I know kids like that, the only way to de-escalate them would be to go inside and close your blinds and lock your doors and let them fuck with your lawn until they got bored. Doing anything that you listed would draw their ire. The pitbull would work, but even that in a way is rolling over since they have forced you to do something. I still feel bad for the cop even if he was a hot head, at the end of the day all he wanted was for people to stop trespassing, it's really not asking much.

View Quote Exactly. They didn't back off when the gun came out, they backed off when the shot was fired. That's all savages understand-violence. Which is why it was a waste of time for the cop to get involved in this in the first place. Unless he was prepared to go out and start dropping bodies on his lawn, he should have just stayed in the house. Like I said before, this is a situation that's best avoided by living in a nicer area. When you live in the zoo, you're going to cross paths with the animals sooner or later. |

He should be fucked. What authority does he have to restrain a kid in that manner for walking on his lawn? Fuck that asshole! View Quote So does a citizen have the legal authority to detain a trespasser, or shoplifter, or any other criminal or not? It's a yes or no question. If the guy was not a LEO, but a regular homeowner who was trying to hold on to a kid who was trespassing and communicating threats, with the intent of calling the police, and then drew down when he was surrounded by the gang of kids and assaulted then GD would be calling him a hero. Now the ND is a training issue and needs to be addressed. I see a written reprimand in his file for that. And don't live in the shit hole you work in. The drive is worth it. I'm not sure if it's possible to not live in a gang infested area on a cops salary in SoCal though. I have a 45 minute commute in NC to avoid the city I work in outside of work. |
