It’s always sad when a good person dies. I just want to know why was the warrant issued? For what charge? American government has become far too invasive and authoritarian in recent decades. Micormanaging society leads to things like this. A spontaneous reaction to being arrested doesn’t sound like first degree murder, unless this guy knew the cop was coming to arrest him.
He was charged with third-degree harassment after sending dozens of text messages and trying to call his ex multiple times within a two-hour span on Aug. 23, according to court documents.
An officer reportedly told Ricke not to contact the woman again or he’d be charged with harassment. The woman told police Ricke had sent her more text messages and emails just four days later.
Officers said Ricke admitted to contacting the woman.
He tried to execute an arrest warrant by himself without backup. I am sorry he lost his life but he used bad judgement. I mean it sounds like he went looking for this guy, not just a per chance traffic stop.
I thought the liberal wizards were going to start using social workers with social worker diplomas to handle these types of legal matters. They used that argument to justify defunding the police. This officer died needlessly. This wasn’t his job.
Domestic disputes are one of the most dangerous situations for law enforcement officers.
Why havent the Republicans in Iowa restored the death penalty?
The 2020 BLM/Antifa insurrection started the open season on cops.
That is why the Police need to be ready to pull a trigger on a well aimed gun at all times. Cops need broad protection against losing their jobs or being charged with a crime. What happened in the George Floyd case should never happen again. FAFO is my motto. When the cop tells me to do something, I do it without question. My dad always told me, “don’t call me to bail you out”. “You made a mess, now you clean it up” was the general philosophy.
