Duh

@WI_Red CHP does have a few big incidents that occurred though
Ponch would still would have had a war and peace sized file filled with harassment claims though :)

Best part of half days as a kid was the 3 hour Nirvana that was CHiPs, A-Team, and Airwolf. Those were the days,

I am actually, especially anything that happened in the South Bay area as I grew up in Torrance.

Edit: and lived right next to the 405. We even saw OJ drive by in his white bronco :)

Blue Thunder & Knight Rider were also top notch.

Knight Rider was the first in that afternoon block so we missed it as Grandparents had a strict "no tv while eating lunch" rule. Grandpa made Velveeta (thick sliced...mmmm) grilled cheeses on a griddle and grandma did homemade tomato soup. Finished up just in time for CHiPs at 1pm.

happy/sad now.

So much to unpack here, especially the laws just passed in Florida. Dwarfs are frightening, shouldn’t be elected officials.

Thankfully the protester is still alive...

To add a bit more context...

From relatively stupid helicopter shit to gunning down the person who actually called the cops because she felt threatened by the others, Columbus cops are a swell bunch...


e - 1:40 mark. Disturbing...

hopefully they follow the lead of Brooklyn Center and release the body cam video ASAP. If they are claiming they felt in danger, well, prove it. Otherwise get gone.

going to go out on a limb and say there's some racial animus here:

Why wait for body cam footage when you can just start a protest on scene and say it’s another unjustified shooting already?

Having seen the body cam footage what's the correct protocol in this situation?

Deadly force is authorized when deadly force is presented. In that situation he gives commands and gets ignored. The other option ive seen people suggest is using a taser, but they aren’t always reliable, so if you try that and it doesn’t get a good connection, then the other girl gets stabbed.

It’s a good job nobody in the UK ever pulls a knife with cops around, they’d be screwed without guns.

Knowing feck all about policing in the UK, what would the UK police do instead in excatly this situation? Try an tackle the suspect? Taser?

Not sure if people have seen this, but good policing.

This is different though, because this is the police being able to defend themselves and pacify the aggressor. In this other instance, she might have been a split second away from stabbing the girl in pink in the neck or cauing her grivious injuries. It's a far more volatile situation.

Saw the Ohio shooting. For this to happen in the midst of a verdict in the George Floyd trial...completely lost for words.

Every act of police brutality we continue to see has been unjust. Shock, horror- even resisting arrest shouldn’t result in death, but, whatever. I don’t expect anything less than for you guys to keep defending your thug colleagues.

Which is the case in everyone of these threads.

A poor attempt at pretending it’s a reasoned discussion but always with benefit of the doubt for the institution whilst the victim gets no such treatment.

Deadly force should be the last resort, not pull up to a scene with guns drawn.

I haven't watched the video.

But the poster you're replying to has said the victim shot was about to stab another member of the public.

Is shooting not justified in that instance?
