Well, not in my bizarro-world, but in the numerous training classes I've attended, and the numerous times I've actually used force, been investigated for, and been found that I've applied it properly. The thing you fail to understand is that the top of the continuum demonstrates the aggressor...

Yep. Definitely me, and it would have been proper. And yes, what the guy we're speaking of in this thread did was reckless.

It was excessive, Muttly, because these men and women are trained to meet resistance or aggression with one level higher than faced with. There are multiple ways to deal with passive resistance properly. If I, as a policeman, shot at a jay walker with my sidearm, but missed, would you say...

I agree. Oh, and I hope you're wrong, too.

It's all much clearer now.

Any mirrors for sale in Cookeville?

My mostly adolescent brain loves that 'butthurt' was injected into the conversation. In some seriousness, I'm wondering if blacks and Puerto Ricans were equally "whiny" about their plight. Or those damned women, pissing and moaning about wanting to vote....

....and it got me thinking about the dingbat who is refusing to issue gay marriage licenses, and is now in jail. What if.....she gets punked out, and then switches teams? Would she then refuse to issue a license to herself? Seriously, I'm a bit surprised that no one has brought up this...

Your own state should serve as evidence enough that the death penalty is a poor deterrent to capital crime. Further, your desire to speed up what, historically, has been a flawed process, often times resulting in wrongful executions (again, in Texas also) serves little purpose, other than your...

What was your wife's AFSC?

You're covered by the Veteran's Administration. The most expensive plan for your county, for your wife, is $950.96, and includes dental and vision. Where does the other $850 come from?

Better short-term or long-term option?

Defending your race? Only a fool does that, IMHO. Wait......are you my stepdaughter's.....ummmm.....boyfriend?

Don't you have some soiled linens to go get? How'd I do?

Had a Kosher kitchen in one of the joints we worked at. I was thinking of maybe 'claiming' myself Jewish, because their food was just so much better.

If the young man tried to seize the officer's weapon, he opened the deadly force door. Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums mobile app

To be fair, I haven't followed this all that closely, and only heard a part of that interview. However, from a use of force continuum standpoint, if the man attempted to sieze the officer's sidearm, the officer was right in employing it to stop him. If it were me, I wouldn't have gone backwards...

Isn't it interesting that I swore an oath vowing to defend the speech of polarizing nutjobs who only have the capacity to think in terms of two colors? Sent from my DROID RAZR using EO Forums mobile app
