You think LEO's are going to come running when you call?

Nope. Not anymore…All by design…

This is the second OKC indictment of officers in the last few months on VERY QUESTIONABLE charges…at least, imo…

I’m just trying to figure out who the left thinks is gonna be around to enforce all these crazy ass laws they want to pass.

Maybe they plan on handing out badges to the Thug Life Matters crowd.

Doesn’t hurt my feelings. Still get paid. Don’t have to fight, get bodily fluids on me.

Netflix and Chill for my 12 hours. Maybe even a nap.

I’d LOVE to help you but my hands. They are tied.

I didn’t realize I was going to call the comes.

That’s EXACTLY what they will do because it’s EXACTLY what they have done historically. You think it’s somehow an accident that EVERYONE Kyle Rittenhouse shot had a criminal record? What are the odds on that? No.

Leftists have always used criminals as their muscle. Laverenti Behria- who ran Stalins secret police (oversaw the Katyn Massacre of 22,000 Polish Army Officers) and killed tens of thousands of people was a serial rapist. Isn’t that convenient? Bring people in on charges, torture or liquidate them… their wives need some comfort I’m sure…Nice folks the Reds…

Can’t say I blame you brother…

“Stavian Rodriguez had no weapons other than the firearm, which he dropped prior to being shot,” the affidavit said. “A cellphone was recovered from the left rear pocket he had his hand in at the time he was shot.”

Yeah, sounds like he was obeying their commands all right. :rolleyes:

Pretty low odds if you ask me with zero surprise.

Looking up OK first degree manslaughter states, it appears that this charge is given for a killing done “in the heat of passion” or during the commission of a misdemeanor (e.g. DUI). Wondering at the rationale behind these charges.

It appears pretty cut and dried to me, though cases involving officers giving conflicting commands (unfortunately all too common, imo) can get messy.

You just described my final 5 years on the street.

Good riddance to that job.

And the officers KNEW that how exactly?

I bet they’ll still kick your door in for a Red Flag gun seizure though.

Have you watched The Death of Stalin. While it is a Dramedy and I’m not sure how accurate it is, it is very telling of what can happen.

Yes, I have. It was entertaining certainly. I have no idea how accurate it was. I would like to think that Zhukov intervened as he did there but who knows?

Rodriguez is not your “bad cops” poster boy.

Armed robber was still armed during a police response and contact, sometimes these things go bad. If he crawled out the window WITHOUT bringing his gun with him then MAYBE…

The only thing questionable about these charges is the fact that the LEOs were charged.

If I’m returning home because my home alarm went off and somebody tried to rob my house while my family was home and I first encountered the armed invader as he crawled out a window and was still armed…well there is NO QUESTION about if I’m going to shoot him or not.

ETA: disregard. Misunderstood the point of the OP.

He was hit 13 times… I wonder how many shots were fired.

In the Gulag Archipelago, Solzhenitsyn wrote that thieves were used to help keep the rest of tye Zecks in line at the camps, to the point thieves were looked up to as someone to be revered.

I don’t really expect the popo to come running. The people that do are the same ones protesting police in the streets. Don’t believe me? Go punch one of those weirdo boygirl anteefas in the mouth and see what happens.

There is a reason that people in certain subsets of our culture handle things on their own and never call or talk to the police. Likely, that is the future of the country for most decent people–they just haven’t figured that out yet. Only snitches will be calling them in the future…

We had a very animated discussion about this in the Auberry thread. Many people are still in the “law and order, equal before the law” mindset. They haven’t figured out that someone has moved their cheese…This ain’t 1980 White Bread America anymore…it looks more and more every day like Sao Paulo, Cali, Jo’Burg, Bangkok etc…

The sheriff’s department doesn’t have much to do in the county. A while back a kid ran his minibike into a brick mailbox and skinned his knee pretty good. Six cars, firetruck and ambulance. Yes, they will still be responding here. Certain parts within Chattanooga city limits… no way. Why would a police officer risk his safety and financial ruin responding to a high crime area where no one will cooperate anyway? Build a fence.
