No, it doesnât. In no way, shape or form should police rely on âthe callâ. It comes from untrained idiots. The only thing that matters is what they observe when they arrive. If âthe callâ is man with a BB gun, or they going to assume itâs a bb gun? No.
He murdered that woman for no reason. Because he was scared.
Who are you to determine whatâs relevant and whatâs not? Are you some kind of expert or just some random dude on the internet? Iâll go with the latter.
No, it is an accurate observation. You got so caught up in your outrage you just started vomiting buzz words all over the thread.
What about âOPEN CARRY!!! AGGGHHH SNAP!â Upsets you so? Does the mere sight of an arm scare you witless?
The funny thing is, the vast majority of people are so busy looking down they ever even notice what I am wearing on my hip. So it must be the emotion of the idea of it.
What is your problem with it? I really want to know. Do you feel an arm is less dangerous when it is covered by a t-shirt? What is it?
I donât have any information if a gun was mentioned in the call in this particular case. But yes â Even if they specifically say itâs a âtoy gunâ a person has. The officer goes in with the mindset that itâs real.
However on and âopen doorâ welfare check â they do get a little information based on if itâs someone just driving by and seeing a door open and something not appearing right â compared to a neighbor seeing and open door and something not appearing right. The neighbor can give dispatch a little history on the place.
And I think I have said in this thread I expect him to be convicted of murder and spend a long, long time in a tiny cell.
Agreed. If a residence has had 10 police calls for domestic altercations in the past 12 months, the officer has a reason to believe he may be met with violence by someone who lives there. If an 85 year old man lives alone and his neighbor calls the police for a welfare check because he hasnât seen the man in a week and his mailbox is overflowing with mail, the officer may not feel there is a physical threat waiting on him when he arrives.
