It’s not legal to walk on the freeway, period.
You get yourself and others kills quick that way.
“There was a thread a day or two ago and - believe it or not, even on this webiste - many were taking the cops side.”
FR is open to all, so it has it’s share of LEO deviates and lurkers.
“The decision tree for most people would probably default to just letting her walk the damn highway”
I say this with all due respect and do not mean anything personal, but that is the most stupid things I’ve heard.
Are you unfamiliar with the 10 freeway? Do you know what freeways are? How fast people drive?
If you want multiple deaths you let her walk on the freeway.
“I’m guessing the woman in this CA incident has some problems, but I’m not sure sitting on her and punching her in the face repeatedly is the correct response.”
...but I’m NOT SURE sitting on her and punching her in the face REPEATEDLY IS THE CORRECT RESPONSE.
You are NOT SURE??? I’ll bet if she were a family member you’d get SURE instantaneously! Just how could you have any doubt?
Yet your comment - a timely reminder - remains true, accurate, and valid.
It’s impossible to judge without a lot more information, and nobody is going to ask me to decide.
But, more and more, it seems like the police are unable to effective restrain people without using extremely violent force. Even the unarmed, even the elderly, even females, even in situations where they very much outnumber the suspect(s).
So, something is wrong: attitude, training, both?
All I know is that I would be very, very reluctant to call the cops for help in any circumstance. I’ve never felt that way before.
Then by all means, go out and beat the crap out of the woman to keep her from walking the median of the highway. Hope your police career goes well after that. You'll also enjoy being a political target of the race-baiting left as well.

It’s a microcosm of everything in life here today. You can’t feel good about calling the cops because of your reasoned belief that they have no intention of helping a situation or operating within the law. And you can’t tell your doctor what’s ailing you for fear that it will end up biting you on the a$$ in some government database or havint some agents show up to take your guns on some contrived charge that you are mentally unfit.
All we can hope for today is not needing either a cop or a doctor!
“The CHP says they are investigating and have suspended the officer.”
This is for the few psycho’s who came on the threads about this incident praising the cop for an exemplary job. Obviously he was not following police policy by viciously attacking an unarmed woman.
Read my post #29 and pay close attention to the word “psycho” That’s you. Just so you know.
i guess except for those working time off on a weekend work program...
