Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fine Police Work

You've just demonstrated an excellent example of the core problem. Cops thinking and assuming every citizen they encounter is a potential bad guy. Them vs us mentality. It's like pinning on that badge paints a stripe of yellow down their back. Cowards with guns, fragile egos and a superiority complex.

Cops thinking and assuming every citizen they encounter is a good guy don't survive very long

You’re retarded.

And you failed to answer the question.

The first cop was a dick from the minute he made the stop. He wasn't worried about the "backup" at all, He went to his car after getting the license.
After he saw the second cop return to his vehicle, the first cop went to the "backup".
The second cop had 3 choices after confronting the "backup". He could verify the answer he got about father / son.
He could have stood quietly by the truck until the stop concluded. He could act like a complete maniac.
He chose poorly.
The cop initiating the stop should have concluded his business.
They both acted completely unprofessional, they lack the composure to be in law enforcement.

I'm not "anti-cop", actually the opposite, I have complemented our Sheriffs Office many times. (on here)
Those 2 hot head cops lack self control, never did I say all. This thread is about this particular video.

Or did I miss something?

Me too. Cops are not above the law, but they sure pretend to be.

I do not know the law in Colorado for interference with an enforcement action/ hindering/ disobeying a lawful order from LE. So, I cannot comment on what they did there. It may have a good hook, maybe not. If that were my stop in my state. I would have just told dad what we were doing, and to stay in his vehicle. If dad interferes with the stop in any way like, exiting his vehicle and approaching us, he will be arrested for hindering. Then, print the coupon for following to close, watch daddy, issue coupon to son, conclude the stop, 10-8, code 17 x1. Fini

Completely understandable but when the cop realized what was going on he should have deescaleted the situation and moved on.

I cannot agree or disagree. I was not there and do not know what their laws/policies are. I know enough to follow directions. That alone, would have deescalated the whole incident. Daddy would not have been hooked! Plain and simple.

its a bad look for the cops , no doubt

I'd hate for them to lose their jobs, but they need something done to where they lose that attitude.

There's virtually no blacks in that part of Colorado. They need to import some so that the police have some *real* work to do instead of just messing around with the residents.

Keyboard commandos sure are brave.

Not me, but I've got enough social skills , knowledge of human behavior, over the top authority complex and work with LEOs on a daily basis to know DICK (or in this case three) when I see one. I wish there was a way to follow up on the final outcome, but weren't the charges dropped?
When the other semi-dick (the dad) told the LT that was his son, he should have just let him stay. After all, he had him covereed

Help me understand what you mean when you use the word dick. At what time tick did each person become a dick, and why do you think that way.

The cops have good reason not to want someone to pull up behind a traffic stop. The second guy might want to assault a cop. When they told him his presence was not welcome, he should have just driven on. He could have stopped a mile down the road, and hooked up with his son via Iphone.

The guy argued for several minutes. Then, with the cops saying "Leave, leave" he left. Then the cops became the a**holes.
Three guys looking for trouble, and they found trouble.

I gonna guess at least 1 or 2 of those cops are done. I’d hope so anyway.

The secret to getting people to follow orders when they may feel like they don’t have to or need to follow your orders is to make them seem like kind requests. A simple explanation of why he was concerned in a kind manner and a little casual conversation all in a conversational and non confrontational tone would have gone a long way there. And especially since the guy wasn’t doing anything illegal or inherently dangerous.

Amazing that they are hiring people as dumb as that.

"sir, I'm sorry, but you being there behind a police officer when he is conducting a traffic stop and especially in today's environment, could place an officer in a tactically dangerous situation. I can appreciate he's your son, so would you please at least move away from behind the officer, maybe down the road a bit and we'll let you know if there are any issues." Not to mention the fact the original stop was obviously a bullshit stop, probably under pressure to write a citation to increase revenue. And yes, I have several, local, county officers that work for me on base that have told me they are always under pressure to write citations for revenue purposes. GMAFB, the negro cop was upset because the meskin kid was following too closely?

A few years ago I was following my brother and his girlfriend back to Corpus from our lease on Lake Falcon over by Zapata. Laura got stopped by a DPS for going 85 in a 75, I pulled in about 10 yards behind them. The trooper got out and walked back to me, I kept my hands on the wheel and told him I had a pistol sitting on the console, he said thanks for letting him know and asked why I stopped, I told him that it was my brother he pulled over and I was just waiting for them to get done. He was cool with that and went and talked to my brother and Laura, and ended up giving them a warning. Everyone had a good attitude and things went smoothly, what surprised me was he was a young guy, usually the ones with attitude.

I agree, the initial stop looked like a BS stop.

No wonder the TBL is out in support of Lt. Henry Trujillo since he has been giving them the behavior they desire for years.
