Recall that almost to a man the Tsarist police, the Okhrana, joined the Bolsheviks. Police work is a frame of mind.
Blogger (Citizen's Free Press), let me introduce you to Google. And all your questions will be answered.
Give me a break. We've all read about FBI agent Turdzok's "frame of mind" ('STOP TRUMP!!!'), which is obviously not something shared by all LEOs, particularly the officers who wear MAGA hats (and vote Republican ;^) when they're off duty...
“Police are trained to Deescalate the incident to the best of their ability.”
UMMMM...I guess. It’s been my experience, and confirmed by ex-cops and Federal agents that they escalate “the incident” when they feel they need to to get an arrest. In other words, when the person of interest has done nothing wrong, keep on pushing until they have an excuse.
Obviously in this case that was Mr Parscale assaulting the cop. That’s sarcasm in case anyone was wondering.
Since that kind of thing may be common to unions in general, it may be that your comments should be directed at 'union members', rather than just 'cops'...
;^)
There’s a big difference between the teamsters defending drunk loading doc guys who don’t show up and the FOP protecting murders that kill unarmed compliant citizens.
So, are you saying (1) teamsters are better people than cops, or (2) the Teamsters Union is a better organization than the FOP, or (3) that violations of the law by people who are also union members should be evaluated on an individual basis? Or something else?
(FWIW, I've heard some great stories from engineers, about some of the work performed by members of various construction/trade unions! If you think 'loss of life' is limited to sub-standard police work, or members of LEO unions, think again... ;^)
“I’ve heard some great stories from engineers, about some of the work performed by members of various construction/trade unions!”
True. But we ran into major problems when on a $500 million job it was mandated that the local shops get priority on hiring.
Project was shutdown due to unqualified workers failing post-work inspections.
“Didn’t his own wife report to police that he was armed with a pistol and suicidal? That’s two reasons police might need to “manhandle” him right there...”
Clicking the links and watching the very short video for yourself will help you avoid making moronic statements as you publicly opine from a position of abject ignorance.
This concludes today’s public service announcement.
“Clicking the links and watching the very short video for yourself will help you avoid making moronic statements as you publicly opine from a position of abject ignorance.”
Obviously you took the video at face value and neglected to learn the facts.
This concludes today’s public service announcement.
What I’m saying is Teamsters aren’t the clear and present danger of cops.
Moreover, when Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi arrived on the set, Mr. Fidler allegedly reached into her vehicle and threatened, “I’ll smash your pretty little face in.”
Unfortunately, union lawyers’ seemingly outlandish claims that threats of violence and actual violence perpetrated to advance Big Labor objectives may not be prosecuted under the Hobbs Act really are supported by the Enmons decision.

"Clear and present danger"? Ok - an interesting point of view, that I've also seen expressed recently by the BLM/ANTIFA "ACAB" thugs, and the Lefty "defund the police" politicos...
750 people have been shot to death by cops this year. That’s just the shot to death number. That doesn’t count the people who died in custody while being ignored by the police. That doesn’t count shot but survived. That’s about 3 people a day. You think teamsters kill 3 people a day?
I’ll give you the same answer I gave the other guy:

If you don’t think that’s a clear and present danger you’re stupid.

Boone was shot and killed by police officers attempting to arrest Boone on charges of kidnapping, spousal assault and assault with a deadly weapon. Members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s Major Crimes Bureau stopped Boone in an SUV driven by a woman police described as a former girlfriend of Boone. A 7-year-old girl was a passenger along with Boone. According to a statement from the Sheriff’s Department, deputies shouted for Bonne to put his hands up and Boone opened the passenger door and began firing from a semiautomatic handgun. The police returned fire hitting Boone several times in the upper body and killing him at the scene. The woman driving the SUV was struck by gunfire, treated at a hospital and released. The girl and detectives were not injured.[4][5]

Charles Kinsey was shot (luckily not killed) while lying on the ground with his arms extended trying to assure police that his unarmed autistic patient presented no threat:

Why are some here defending this guy? Not everything is a soros conspiracy plot. Knuckleheads.
Guess you must view the US miltary as a "clear and present danger" also, since they routinely shoot people as well (some years, far more than just the high three-figures ;^)! And what about doctors? IIRC, tens of thousands of people are killed every year by doctors (via misprescribed medications, medical misadventure, etc.). Based on body count, doctors make cops look like humanitarians!
But maybe you give the doctors a break, because their victims likely deserved it (for not double-checking with their pharmacists, or maybe just for being @ssholes ;^). God knows the cops never, ever shoot anyone who actually deserves it!

The cops need to remember who still supports them. Antagonizing us and acting that way with us is not the way to gain new supporters. We can be their best friends or worst enemies.
