“I don't understand how an innocent situation can escalate so much to end in the death of a harmless kid,” Guilford’s brother Aaron Guilford said . . .
Eh, beating the snot out of an armed police officer has been known to do that as shown in the famous case of Michael Brown.
Prosecutors called Guilford’s death a “tragedy” even as they announced they wouldn’t charge Frost in June. Guilford, whose autopsy showed he had smoked marijuana hours earlier, can be seen calling his girlfriend on his phone in the video. Frost later said he grew worried the teen was part of a militia movement and calling in other members to the scene, according to Lloyd’s report.
Two interesting points here. All of the marijuana advocates assure us that pot smoking does not lead to aggressive behavior, so the officer's face pounding injuries had to be self-inflicted. Plus his statement about the militia movement shows he was racially profiling the kid. Of course, that is OK since the kid is white and the department of justice issued warnings about militia movements.
As for your statement that some departments should train their officers to lift up their skirts and fight back whenever they're getting the butts handed to them, it is sexist and bigoted statement.
If they did that, there would be a gross imbalance of younger virile men on the police force and infringe on the rights of women and the horizontally challenged to hold those jobs. You talk as if public safety is more important than a fashionably balanced law enforcement department. Maybe you even belong to one of those right wing militia movements. :->
I was never aggressive when I smoked a freight load of weed from 71-84
And a few times since
But damn if I didn’t get in more than a few fights in my 30s and 40s totally weedless
Alcohol is the fight stoker....no question
I don’t drink either
Then last week...first time since the day before my 15 year old was born.....my last fight then at 43 with a 22 year old
I’m at Red Pony in Franklin TN eating a nice dinner on date night with Lady Wardaddy and a drunkish lop starts getting mouthy and eye banging my wife
Now I’m 58 old beat up skull fractured two heart surgeries been shot been beaten by cops...yes....and of course my Medtronics pacemaker
Luckily I’m big and look like chapter president albeit not very chesty after two crack opens and froggy guys can smell who’ll go and who won’t so he backed off and slinked away....good thing cause I’m only good for 3-4 good punches and a choke out at this point
I was raised redneck in the formative years till dad hit the chips
Anyhow all that fighting crap and I wasn’t the least bit stoned
Those stoned years and no fights just peace and love and festival seating bro
Go figure right
Maybe I oughta start smoking again.....if old lady would I would
I actually took a hit a few weeks ago
Coughed like hell and for an hour or so I felt like it was 1973....A great year
I don’t have the time....go go go
I think cops get too much license but in other times they are too soft
