if nothing else, it proves that poor policing is color blind and gender equal.

Oh so now you're saying it's poor policing and not defensive policing by officers faced with a coked-up septuagenarian?

hard to tell a dementia patient from a coked up homeless lady

No actually it isn't hard at all.

An elderly man in my clan was once driven home by the police and they had a population of around 30,000 people to serve.
These days there are cops wouldn’t know a homeless person from Bob Dylan checking out real estate in Long Branch.

Question-are all these problems with municipal cops? Can we at least still rely on elected sheriffs and deputies?

OMG, Tiger. I’m stealing that comment. If it takes 20 years I will find a time and place to whip it out and destroy someone. :D

And I’ll go ahead and say it - it Derek Chauvin and his posse had just put George Floyd in the damn car

Not to jack the thread, but I've wondered about that. In the video I watched, they did put him in the car, and then Chauvin came on the scene and they pulled him out. Don't those cars have locks and partitions?

In any case, a little old lady picking daisies should be a simple catch.

Dear Lord.. Is this is what white, law-abiding citizens have to look forward to when they get older and become forgetful? That video brought me to tears. Will police forces ever properly train officers on how to deal with senior citizens and dogs?

“I read that they DID put him in a car and he had some kind of panicky I can’t breath attack”

Then call an ambulance, don’t throw him face down on asphalt and sit on him for 10 minutes. Chauvin would still be his little lord of the streets, all full of his bad self. Nobody will miss that though!

Yeah I was always repulsed by that “get on your knees, get on the ground” girly crap they do lately. The only time cops did that in tha past was when they were heavily out numbered in potentially violent situations.

your experience with alzheimers is unfortunate, but not particularly relevant. it could explain your weird judgemental anger at cops you do not know in a situation you do not know involving a woman you do not know.

are you all riled up because it’s a white chick?

You don’t know Browdie

He was on a roll last nite.....a regular Jim Morrison of this forum slinging acerbic prose and wit to and fro till the wee hours

What he really thinks only the creator can surmise

JB

campers do meth and H.....not coke

I’ve got around 1500 living near one of my car washes.....gotten to know a few

Drugs
Alcohol
Psychosis

Lots of under 30s camping to save cash for dope

Leftist towns enable it ....those of us around it pay for it

Indeed

You or I beat up an old lady who weighs all of five stones and we would be up on at least level C felony carrying minimum 11/29

Sammy killed a kid

He’s never atoned for that

Huge strike against his “honesty”

And I listen as well

From the perspective I knew some of the players then

Gravano was feared....few more so

Scarpa and DeMeo and Gaspipe and The Snake maybe...

Good points

When I’m arrested it was usually in the car immediately with my sad sack ass

I was rarely arrested by local Mounties

Safari hunters came for me..lol..big game hunting..lol

Blue jackets and fast cars and airborne vehicles..I’m like damn there are a lot of XM 177s pointed this direction...lol

Let give cops their credit

If they shot easy I’d be dead a few times...the ones that have the best toys roll in big firepower

Maybe they are better trained

Or smarter..who knows....I notice they got younger strangely as I got older

Anyhow ...even as someone who’s clashed with them a bit in my 63 years

I give them mostly a thumbs up but these were bad cops....

Worst law in my opinion...is jailers in metro stockades....some of them will def kill you or get you killed...and race....never forget...race...it matters

Is it correct to say I’m ambivalent about cops but for the most part I’m ok with them

One caveat....they will always be able to find cops and soldiers to come for our guns.....do not doubt that

Even caregivers have to take a crap once a day and sometimes go to the store.

And dementia doesn’t hit all at once. There are good days and bad days. Sometimes they are normal for days at a time then it hits out of nowhere.

Very easy for a person to slip away. Especially if they are in otherwise good health.
