Kidd, Just had a case in Culpeper Virginia where an officer came up to a woman in a parking lot of a church, started screaming at her and she drove away. He started shooting and killed her. No threat to him, she had no guns, she didn’t drive at him, just tried to get away from the screaming man with a gun. He got a slap on the wrist.
Officers should have routine psych tests. They have an important job and a lot of responsibility.
I would also add in routine course on Constitutional history and law.
You may be right, but not everyone is a shooter or terrorist. We don’t know who she was right now. They are putting everyone on mental drugs so who knows what the total picture is. It certainly doesn’t fit the description yesterday.
Obama is stalking all of us...I just saw him in my toilet this morning... Oh wait.... My bad...
The damage to the cruisers were caused by the officers themselves in the hunt to kill something...Thank God there were no dogs involved....Just an unarmed black mother with a baby in the back seat. where’s Jessie and Al?
I think someday we will hear from the Secret Service that Ubama was, by a factor of ten, the most threatened abd hated president they ever had to try to protect.

GOOD way to put it ...
The connection I find curious is the Connecticut connection. Doesn’t Barry Soetero have a social security number issued in Connecticut under a phony name?
There was a police cruiser was on tv yesterday which looked like it had been sandwiched from hitting something.

The COP hit one of those pop-up middle-of-the-street emergency barricades as it was *rising* ... the COP was running code 3 (lights and siren at a high rate of speed)
Can you say “own goal”?
THERE IS VIDEO OF THIS AS IT OCCURS, TOO.
Their unions would never allow that.
It looks to me like the Barrycades were already up when the idiot cop plowed into them.
Static observation based on a single photo; I don’t want you on the stand open to cross examination ...
A) Were the barricades fully deployed
B) Were the barricades in the process of deployment
Many people that 50 years ago would have interned at the state mental hospital are now out roaming the streets of our country. They function OK if they take their meds. Stop taking the meds and they start seeing things, hearing things, having paranoid delusions, etc. They also end up homeless sleeping under a bridge and peeing themselves. Sometimes they end up hurting themselves or other people who are out to get them.
NOW STOP READING MY THOUGHTS!
Has anyone said this reminds them of the Travon Martin case?
That picture is frame capture from the video.
In that picture, the barrycades appear fully deployed, though later in the video you can see that they are controlled in sections. You can see them let the barrycades down on the near side of the street to let an uninvolved vehicle get through.
It certainly appears that the section that the cop hit was fully deployed when he/she hit them.
What can’t be determined from the video was whether the cop truly had enough time to react to their deployment. It’s clear, however, that he/she made no effort to stop. Under hard braking, you would see the front end dip and the rear end rise as the car’s weight transfers forward. You don’t see that.
If you watch competent LEOs in emergency mode (lights/siren), you will observe that they do approach intersections with extreme caution to avoid possible cross traffic. People are supposed to stop dead to let the cop through, but they don’t always do that.
My conclusion is that this Kapitol Kop was on a thrill ride, maybe their first ever, and wasn’t exercising the level of responsibility and caution that the job requires.
