twa Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 the equally easy (and important) component to this solution is for police officers to be polite and professional with the people that they interact with. no? then they can beat them down if not reciprocated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 You can be respectful and polite while still asserting your rights when you're interacting with police. I don't see why you apparently see it as some zero sum game. Because the standard playbook says that whenever a police officer is caught on camera assaulting ( if not outright killing) an unarmed person who posed to threat to the officer, is to try as hard as you possibly can to assert that said unarmed person, some time before the video started, must have done SOMETHING (no matter how minor or tangential) which makes it their fault. He ran. He stole a pack of cigarettes. He failed to comply with the officer's command which was not illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He needs a new lawyer to represent him based on the first 3 minutes of that video. I will watch the rest but... None of that is relevant. I understand what she is trying to establish here...normal people don't fall for that sales pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 interesting She is an attorney for the FOP. Her job is to try to protect him. I could give a rat's patootie what he had to deal with prior to this. No bearing on this situation at all. If he couldn't handle it after ten years of service...he should have taken the rest of the day off. A silly fight ? This guy is handcuffing and chasing people, then tossing this young girl around, then brandishing his gun. I was taught don't holster your weapon without intent. This man is a tenured veteran of the police force...that's embarrassing as a gun owner. He alone escalated the situation. Unbelievably so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 He unholstered his gun because two men came up to him from behind in a menacing manner while he was - rightly or wrongly - attempting to arrest the girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Two men? I thought we were talking about a 13 year old boy in a bathing suit. And the girl was arrested? I wonder what she's been charged with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) And the girl was arrested? I wonder what she's been charged with. Hurting his (cops) feelings. "The 13 year old girl got an attitude with me, causing me to lose my temper!" The male ego is a very powerful and delicate thing. His ego was front and center during that entire video. im positive nobody on ES will argue that particular point.

Gamebreaker Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He was removed as principal, yet still employed by the county and awaiting reassignment. He still has his job, and what the school district did was simply a PR move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Texas Cop Shuts Down Girls' Lemonade Stand Texas sisters Andria, 8, and Zoey Green, 7, wanted to raise about $100 to take their dad to Splash Kingdom as a Father's Day present, so they set up a traditional neighborhood lemonade stand. According to ABC affiliate KLTV, about an hour later and after a $25 profit, Overton police showed up and shut the lemonade stand down because the Green sisters did not have a "Peddler's Permit," which comes with a $150 fee. "We had kettle corn and lemonade. The lemonade was for 50 cents and the kettle corn was a dollar, but if you got both it was a dollar." Zoey told KLTV. http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/11/politics/lemonade-stand-shut-down-texas/ Here's a possible photo of the vigilant cop: Fortunately, the girls quickly learned how to game the system. They reopened the stand and offered free lemonade and popcorn. Of course, donations were accepted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I absolutely would not blame the cop for that. He's actually enforcing an actual law. (Maybe it's a stupid law, but the cop really doesn't have much say in that.) And, granted, I'm just making an assumption, here, but I suspect that didn't exactly get a kick out of it, either.
