George Rhoades should be fired this very minute. He’s a bafoon.
“Now we have this mentality, ‘I’m not going to retreat. I’m not going to call 9-1-1. I’m going to be a vigilante and take care of the problem myself,’” he said.
In what way is calling 911 going to help you in the event of a flash mob? It’s clear that public safety is not his goal.
The police policies swictched from safety of the public to control of the public years ago. Abd as the older ones retired, they got the personnel to do that. the police today, by and large, do not give a damn about your safety. They do care about controlling you though.
When one is attacked by a flash mob, their only help will be Misters Smith & Wersson, Bill Rugher, Sam Colt, Clock, or Kimber. Introducing one of them to Al Buck, Mr. Cars or mr. Barlow will make them take their business elsewhere. But as far as 911, as the ones that tried using that method learned the hard way, it don’t work. the calls might have amused the operators though, so it probably was not a total loss.
