Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Floyd Arrest body cam released

No it wasn't murder. It was bad police tactics that led to a legally justifiable shooting. Had the officers taken better advantage of time, distance and cover, Tamir would be alive. Time, distance and cover can all buy better decisions.

It showed a mildly resistive subject, an officers who could have put a better effort into deescalating and calming the subject.

Yep. The cops actually escalated the situation up until the point that what's his name murdered him.

Antlers has amazing deductive reasoning skills and this is an example of his amazing talent...... for being wrong! hahahahhahahaha

Floyd passed a fake 20.

According to Forbes, Chauvin filed fraudulent tax returns for 6 consecutive years.

I stand by what I said on the matter. You disagree. Fine. No big deal. To me.

Full-on panic attack exacerbated by drugs and pre-existing cardiac dysfunction.

Blood pressure skyrockets.

Drugs and panic response impair breathing.

Cardiac event results.

I’m gonna manhandle you for passing a fake 20. Even though I’ve filed fraudulent tax returns for 6 consecutive years.

Sounds about right.

You’re absolutely right. When cops file fraudulent returns they always kneel on a Black man’s neck.

The two are clearly related.

My LE experience comes with an asterisk. Coast Guard LE is a very different animal than street LE. It's a different environment, a different tactical field and an often different public. I am always very up front about that and quick to admit that street cops have a much tougher job. Now having said that, that doesn't mean that some of the training, tactics and constitutional law don't transfer reasonably well. I also earned my certification as a reserve deputy in Harrison County MS. I didn't have much experience with that before Katrina hit, and I ended up moving and changing jobs.

Having been trained by the country and the state of Mississippi and having cross trained with officers from all kinds of local, state and federal agencies, I can say that our training and our emphasis needs to change. Far, far more time is spent training on shooting, and on when shooting is legally justifiable, than on tactics and strategies that deliver non-lethal outcomes. I well remember the first time I read in our LE policy manual that a "retreat may be the best option in certain circumstances" I laughed. We all did. Machismo runs deep in our ranks. It almost has to.
But over time I saw that it could indeed be the best option in certain circumstances.

Wilson/Brown would have been a great time to use a tactical disengagement. An unarmed Brown had already tried to take Wilson's gun. We can draw two reasonable conclusions from that. Brown wasn't armed and he'd likely do it again. When Wilson immediately reengaged him, and did so without the benefit of the immediately available cover, he put himself in a situation in which he was all but guaranteed to have to shot an unarmed man.

Had he waited until back-up arrived and/or put his car between him and Brown, we may not have BLM today. But the shoot was legally justifiable, so it was the best outcome right?

That's not what happened...

The fact someone is trying to compare being in the coast guard policing and an inner city cop being a policeman is laugh out loud funny. Talk about apples and oranges. Thanks needed the laugh this morning.

But that's the narrative. lol As the facts come out, and the real picture doesn't fit the painting they made on day one, they need to change the focus. Saint George wasn't "manhandled" for passing a forged currency, he could've simply went with the officers, got a ride in the car, and had his day in court. That it didn't go that way is solely on the dearly departed. Not holding people accountable for their actions is a large part of why this country is spiraling downward so fast. What the officer paid in taxes is so irrelevant to the topic at hand it's comically baffling.
