2 cops push over a 75 year old man and get suspended. entire emergency responce resigns in sympathy

Who were they protecting and serving when they shoved the old man to the ground …

Serving. Clear the street. Something cops are called to do from time to time. Rowdy gathering that was blocking traffic and preventing others from peaceably using that area.

“Clear the streets.” … “Sir, please clear the street.” … “Sir, TURN AROUND and move…”

But the guy kept approaching.

Come on. You know the behavior. A shove to change the guy’s direction is not excessive.

And the suggestion that he should have been “passed back and arrested” is just armchair quarterbacking. A cop would rather the agitator walk away that have to initiate an arrest. That’s actually less contact and conflict and confrontation. An arrest is going to tie up multiple cops from the task at hand.

Since ANTIFA is by definition a terrorist organization if he is a member/supporter he’s a terrorist or at least a supporter of same.

can you prove he is a member of a terrorist group? President labeled him a terrorist.

No he didn’t.

Black store owner who called 911 to report robbery is punched by cop

Kevin Penn, owner of Star Spirits & Beverages in Decatur, Alabama, reported a robbery at his store on March 15. CCTV footage from the incident began circulating on social media over the weekend.

I expected a lib to post this one eventually.

You do know, of course, that the shop owner refused to obey a cop’s orders to put down his weapon. Cop doesn’t know who is who when he enters the situation.

But oh … “black guy punched by cop…” That’s the lib take-away from this.

@CanadianJudo

Yet here you are defending it.

Telling you why you are wrong is not “defending” anything.

[Scratch]

Penn’s lawyer said his client had showed his gun to the officers to let them know he was armed.

Penn had also removed the clip and ejected the bullets from the weapon, Cole said.

The video shows Penn telling officers he’s going to file a complaint as they came close to him

@Scratch

Penn’s lawyer said …

And … ???

Cops entering a scene don’t know who is whom. A guy defying orders in that initial moment is going to be seen as a threat. Period.

But “black guy punched by cop” is a lib’s only take-away here.

Thanks Rose, know you’re a former Medic as well

Oh, and I get nothing.

I outright asked for your opinion personally, Sneaky. And liked your post.

I’m very insecure and need constant positive reinforcement torey, not “likes”.

Fair enough, thank you, Sneaky.

This is where this idiotic theory came from.

Yup, classic agitprop.

@CanadianJudo Here you appear to be attacking it. Chill out, bro. Go get a Tim Horton’s Donut or two.

I recommend a couple Honey Dipped paired with a honey lemon tea for a honey-themed treat.

I looked and looked and can’t find the police jammer / “black out” antifa app.

Which means one thing.

It’s an untapped market. It doesn’t need to do anything other than make sounds and look scary. DM me for funding.

Anyone care about the police officers who have been killed or sounded in the line of duty recently?

Most officers, all I know, are good men and women who are not racists and respect others rights. This appears to be a one sided issue. Black officers and other minority officers are being disrespected.

Yeah. I think most policemen are respected. My brother-in-law is a cop (and a lib, by the way). But there is a problem. Actually, there is a problem in many such professions. If you’re a sadist, what better job is there than a policeman? If you’re an arsonist, the fire department is where you belong. If you’re a pedophile . . . you figure it out.

Republican Congressman?

Precisely.

[WildRose]

Apparently not.

I ask again, what precipitated the punch?

[WildRose]

In this case, the case of a frail 75yo man the amount of force used to push him away was clearly excessive.

It’s not simply the act of shoving that is problematic it is who shoved him, at what angle (blindsided) and how hard he was shoved followed by the depraved indifference to his condition after the obvious severe head trauma he sustained as a result.

[WildRose]

Irrelevant. He approached the police with a gun and refused to put it down, he’s lucky he was only punched.

Instead of being flippant explain to us the insane move the radical made with that phone and why.

He didn’t have the physical prowess to climb a ladder and clean gutters let alone provoke stressed LEO.

To you.

Not to me.

And I think it’s a bit of exaggeration to call him frail.

BTW, I do agree that he was blindsided. Doesn’t matter to me though.

No, that would be a masochist.
