The old volunteer cop (73 yrs)..... is used to grabbing his Taser. This time he did not.I'm sick of all of the useless killings but I think this is a different case. His boss should call him aside and say you made a huge mistake today and it resulted in a tragic killing. You are formally dismissed from law enforcement. You are to do nothing in public with weapons, you are not to try and do things typicallydone by event organizers.You will not be charged with a crime. The city will cover your representation and damages in court.Furthermore we are sorry for being so far out of budget that we need to take volunteers based on financial capabilities.(read more on the topic, volunteer cop was able to donate some equipment that the force needed. - congratulations, you've just passed reserve Deputy academy.

And George Zimmerman, the self appointed neighborhood watchdog, who protects his neighborhood from "hoodies". And all the millions of gun carry citizens that will shoot anyone who they think is breaking the law...or looks at them the wrong way. Did someone mention road rage?

Dutch Wrote:pr Wrote: Dutch are you being sarcastic? I bet that new uniform is certainly spiffy tho. Have I ever been sarcastic? About the uniform, I borrowed it from J.C. including the fleas. In one of the pockets I found pieces from a Motel bible; it said "thou shall not kill" in Hebrew and Chinese; written by Mozes himself.

I'm also really worried about these citizen armies, but I'm also worried how we are allowing rich citizens to play cop. How in the world can someone who has little to no training get a gun, taser, and uniform just because they 'paid to play'? Then we have the neighborhood watchmen who also want to play cop and murder teenagers for walking while black. I'm sitting back and wondering how much more of this we will have to witness before sensible people rise up and say 'enough already.'I sure as hell hope this asshole in Oklahoma spends the rest of his life in prison, but I have a feeling a jury of his peers will find him totally justified in murdering this black man. I'm honestly beginning to lose all faith in our criminal justice system and think this case will only exasperate that feeling.
