Cops Gone Wild

An officer in a suburb of Texas was caught on video getting out of control at a pool party of young people. He was caught throwing a bikini clad young lady to the ground while swearing at her. And then a couple of black male youths approached, and he panicked, because he is most likely a chicken-shit coward in his heart, and he pulled his firearm, brandishing it at them. When they retreated he re-holstered the weapon.

Sean Hannity alleges that the two young men were behind the officer, and therefore he was right to be afraid. They clearly were not behind him, but more so approached from the front. That's how he knew they were there.

Hannity never mentions the white man who clearly was behind him. The officer never felt the need to pull his weapon on him.

The one thing that I noticed from the video is that although most of the party goers were white the  only ones the police focused on were the black ones. So, when does this start to get alarming to us as a nation?

Ferguson? I don't know. I want to be against the cop, but I found his explanation to be credible. So I'll give him a pass. New York? Are you kidding me? Absolute chicken shit tactics that killed a man of such criminal stature that he was selling cigarettes outside of the pack. Way to go crimefighters! Even if you had to use a hold that was outlawed by your own department 20 years ago. Baltimore? Oh my Gosh! Are you kidding? A hidden stop and his back gets broken? And he dies?

George Zimmerman continues his criminal rampage. When will we finally put this murdering idiot away? Probably when he murders a white person.

I spent 28 years in law enforcement. I probably worked with thousands and thousands of officers in my career. I can count the good ones on one hand. Don't fool yourself America. These guys are the ones with little dicks who got pushed around on the playground. They desperately want to be a man, so they get a job where they can put on a badge and put a gun on their waist and finally be a man. But they have no idea how to handle the power given them. They have never had any before. We need to train cops more, and not in the obvious stuff. We need to talk to them about the traits that made them feel the need to be an Officer. Because all too often they develop the mentality that "since we are the good guys, then everyone else must be the bad guys."

The Officer in Texas resigned. The Officer in Ferguson resigned. If they were so squeaky clean, why'd they resign? Public pressure? I doubt it. The departments evaluated their behavior and offered them a way to save their pensions.

Go on believing the police are perfect and always right America, if that's what it takes to get you to sleep at night. They are a great bunch of folks until that moment when you cross their path.
