And then call the arambulas for the dying perp.
Ok, I'm sorry.
5.56mm
Unfortunately, that is sometimes the attitude given here by some Freepers. While the police are unappreciated in a lot of ways, wearing a uniform doesn’t make them a hero or even decent all the time.
NA. The homeowner lived.
You are so right. Had a brother-in-law, grew up with him, who was a cop in a medium size Texas city. Showed me his throw down gun once. After he quit, I asked him why. He said he realized that he had developed the “cop attitude”, that there were two types of people: Cops (and their families) and Perps. Asked him, which am I? He said I was a Perp - definition you had already committed a crime, or you would eventually. He hung with cops - ate, drank, spent 95% of his time with them. Lucky for him he woke up in time. I have very little respect for cops anymore, though I think most of them are probably not like that. But I can’t tell which are which. I don’t trust my or my family’s safety to them.
“...gross negligence, civil rights violations, failure to supervise, excessive force, deliberate indifference to medical needs, false arrest, and emotional distress.”
That about sums it up!
In terms of police salary, that could be just 8 years of income. Some ordinary cops make over $250,000 per year. Just to add some perspective.
Juuuuuust another isolated incident, courtesy of the union-thug street gang in blue.
Well, look at that—the Phoenix Use of Force board has cleared the officer:

Big surprise.
Ditto that.
And more details:
A few hours later, Lilly told internal affairs investigators that he fired only after Arambula pointed a gun his direction, the lawsuit states.
Police kept Arambula’s wife and kids from visiting Tony at the hospital until after investigators could interview him. The lawsuit also states that police tried to damage Arambula’s reputation and deflect blame toward the homeowner. Police visited a gun dealer who had sold Arambula a handgun and allegedly “suggested that Tony may have illegally obtained weapons,” the lawsuit says.

How can someone be shot 6 times in the back and live to tell about it?
Proves the old adage that no situation can’t be made worst by adding cops.
Yep the real truth and cop version. Which do you believe?
New meaning for call 911 and die ... :-(
What did the 911 operator do? Did they call for an ambulance?
Which side is the side that says the cops didn’t “F up”?
I agree wholeheartedly , if they would have acknowledged their mistake and tried to do the right thing afterwards I would be Ok with their mistake. But They tried to cover it up. Hang Them
My jaw is on the floor over this one.
Why else do you think cops carry cellphones? That kind of radio traffic is not recorded and not subject to subpoena.
