I did have an officer keep some Black Talons in a 45 that was 'secured for our protection", however in retrospect; I think he asked if he could have them...

Whatever; I have more....

There are close to 50 deaths so far this year of LEO's that have been shot during domestic disturbance calls.





Cite your source.  I find this hard to believe.



The "50" number is bullshit. From the FBI: In 2012 a TOTAL of 47 LEOs were feloniously killed, and only 2 of those were during a Domestic Disturbance call.

Link

According to preliminary statistics released today by the FBI, 47 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty in 2012. The total number of officers killed is 25 fewer than the 72 officers who died in 2011. By region, 22 officers were killed as a result of criminal acts that occurred in the South, eight officers in the West, six officers in the Northeast, five officers died due to incidents in the Midwest, and six officers were killed in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

By circumstance, 12 officers died from injuries inflicted while investigating suspicious persons or circumstances, eight who died were conducting traffic pursuits or stops, five were engaged in tactical situations, and five officers were killed as a result of ambushes (four due to entrapment/premeditated situations and one during an unprovoked attack). Four officers’ deaths occurred as a result of answering disturbance calls (two of which were domestic disturbance calls) and three officers were transporting, handling, or maintaining custody of prisoners. Two of the fallen officers sustained fatal injuries during drug-related matters, two were attempting to make other arrests, and two were performing investigative activities. Two officers were responding to robberies in progress, one was responding to a burglary in progress, and one officer was killed as a result of handling a person with a mental illness.

I have never once seized a gun that was legal. I do however want to know where the guns in the house are when I roll up to a call. From my own experience it's an officer safety thing. I want to know where the things that can hurt me are and where everybody is when I'm at a call.


thats seems awful logical of you.


Is it?  All an officer has to know is that the people in the home are unarmed and there are no firearms in the immediate area.  If everyone is in say the LR, he can see them and there aren't any guns around and no one is armed, he need not go searching thru the house to find firearms.

Then you should keep your eyes on the people in the house. The gun won't hurt you. It's an inanimate object.

I'm not a JBT, but my guess would be that they don't take the TV's and DVR's because they make poor weapons.

The problem isn't them asking if you have any, or even them possibly wanting to hold them temporarily while they're there. The problem is a lot of cops come up with devious and lame excuses to try and take them permanently.

A person during the call is not not going to have access to any weapons. Guns are a higher danger level than other items.

Also I don't inspect them, I just want to know where things are located. You go to arrest a guy, says let me put my shoes on, I'm going to walk with the person and make sure they don't grab weapon of any type. Also I don't use the term firearm or gun when asking the question. I ask are there any weapons and let the person define it.

I've never seen them seize kitchen knives, scissors, hammers, cleavers, axes, wasp spray, or any of the myriad of other 'weapons' that are in most houses.

It seems odd to claim you are interested in weapons, but, only one specific type.

I have no doubt it is dangerous to go to a DV call, but it seems to be a gaping hole in the 'find any weapons' policy when you are only inspecting guns.

That's more or less where the majority of LOD deaths and injuries come from during DV right?

Hence the 'disconnect'.  I come from a long line of Cops, and even set out to be one (sometimes the Academy lessons are more that the grades on tests).  The general feeling I have is 'my home is my castle' and any one that comes in here to tell ne 'where to stand, when to talk, and so on' can be damned...  however they can do it to every other scumbag on the planet.

Seems like the cop is screwed either way...

That sounds pretty fair to me. Isn't the best thing to move everyone outside? I would be concerned that the person that intends to use a firearm isn't going to tell you where it is. They'll tell you where the safe is but not about the handgun they stashed under the living room couch.

And also any touching of the officer is "assault". Or a cop throws a guy on the ground and breaks his arm attempting to handcuff him, and then guy resists because his arm is being broken, and it's assault. Any "assault" data on police officers is meaningless, because cops call anything assault and also charge people for assault when the person tries to protect themselves from being injured by police during detainment or arrest.

Agreed.

Heck, according to that it's just as dangerous to fall on a drug arrest than it is to go to a DV call.  Or make an "investigation".


A cop getting shot and living is listed as an assault.

¦Law enforcement agencies reported that 53,469 officers were assaulted while performing their duties in 2010.
¦The rate of officer assaults in 2010 was 10.0 per 100 sworn officers.

¦26.1 percent of the officers assaulted sustained injuries.
¦27.4 percent of the officers who were attacked with personal weapons (e.g., hands, fists, or feet) suffered injuries.
¦14.1 percent of the officers who were assaulted with knives or other cutting instruments were injured.
¦11.6 percent of officers who were attacked with firearms were injured.
¦23.4 percent of officers who were attacked with other dangerous weapons were injured.

¦33.0 percent were responding to disturbance calls (family quarrels, bar fights, etc.).
¦14.7 percent of the officers assaulted were attempting other arrests.

¦In 2010, 81.8 percent of officers who were assaulted in the line of duty were attacked with personal weapons (e.g. hands, fists, or feet).
¦3.4 percent of the officers were assaulted with firearms.
¦1.7 percent of the officers were assaulted with knives or other cutting instruments.
¦13.1 percent of the officers were assaulted with other dangerous weapons.

And also any touching of the officer is "assault". Or a cop throws a guy on the ground and breaks his arm attempting to handcuff him, and then guy resists because his arm is being broken, and it's assault. Any "assault" data on police officers is meaningless, because cops call anything assault and also charge people for assault when the person tries to protect themselves from being injured by police during detainment or arrest.


Actually, no.

And if it is like most places the assault only gets reported, no charges. Almost have to go to the hospital.

No, what he said was that normally if there is no serious injuries the prosecutor will normally not pursue it.  Or that charges are not normally filed without seriious injury.  He is correct.

Power trips.



There are close to 50 deaths so far this year of LEO's that have been shot during domestic disturbance calls.

Who's tripping?



Got the figure for number of dogs shot by LEOs?

When watching the news reports of the cops going in to a house for anything, (domestic dispute, warrants, burglary investigation, illegal searches…etc) the first thing they look for are guns?  If the gun is owned legally by a person in the house and not used in anyway related why would they seize the guns? …they don’t take the TV or DVR or car or the kitchen knife set.  Why is law enforcement so infatuated with taking all the guns out of a house first thing?



Just asking...

Yes. No point in it when a DA will dismiss it as being part of the job.

Kinda like this?

Madison man charged with aggravated assault on police officer
By Independent Press
on October 29, 2013 at 2:11 PM

http://www.nj.com/independentpress/index.ssf/2013/10/madison_man_charged_with_aggra.html

MADISON — A local resident was charged with aggravated assault of a police officer and more after he allegedly pushed a police officer who tried to help him push his car into a gas station.

According to police, at about 10:15 p.m. on Oct. 17, an officer saw a man, later identified as Jacob Locket III, 61, of Madison, driving his car in the area of Greenwood Avenue near Elmer Street. A few moments later, the officer saw the same man trying to push his car into the lot of a nearby gas station and went to help.

When the officer got near Locket, he allegedly smelled alcohol on Locket’s breath and had him perform field sobriety tests. During the testing, Locket allegedly pushed the police officer.

He was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer, driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated within 1,000 feet of a school zone, refusal to consent to a breath test, driving with a suspended license, uninsured vehicle, unregistered vehicle, failure to inspect, two counts of failure to exhibit documents, and careless driving.

Bail was set at $2,500 and he was held in the Morris County Correctional Facility with a court appearance pending.



Or this example:

Conway man charged with four counts of aggravated assault of officer

Link

A Conway man has been charged with four counts of aggravated assault of a certified law enforcement officer after police say he spit on multiple officers following his involvement in a vehicle accident with a train.

Police arrived on scene of an accident involving a train around 2:44 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of Tyler and Donaghey streets.

Yup. Even harder to get AUSA to prosecute assault on a fed.

Meh. I remember the cops telling my stepfather to leave after I called them about him beating up my mom. They let him load up all of his guns and most(if not all) of my guns and then drive out of there drunk with a warning not to come back. Fortunately he didn't decide to come back and kill us later.

I can certainly see why cops would take guns in certain situations.
It varies state to state. Some areas like in liberal states cops will literally lie and exaggerate shit about people or an incident just to have an excuse to take guns and not give them back. Some cops also like to pretend they rule the world wherever they go, and in domestic cases it probably isn't the smartest idea to walk into someone else's house and act like you own the place with a cocky attitude, but they do.  


The cop is in charge and no one else.


Not inside MY house!

That's where I keep my extra fancy china.

Honestly look at a DV call just like a pulled over vehicle.

I have never once seized a gun that was legal. I do however want to know where the guns in the house are when I roll up to a call. From my own experience it's an officer safety thing. I want to know where the things that can hurt me are and where everybody is when I'm at a call.

Its none your damn business where the guns are, why are you at my house?
