No they are not. They are trained to cuff you but not to wrestle and such. You’re incorrect.We agree on all that except for your assertion that cops aren’t trained in H2H. They are trained to arrest subjects and what to do if a perp runs or resists. The automatic answer is not empty your clip into his back at close rangeBecause that was the crux of your argument. That he should have done something different. I asked what and you said you didn’t know but that he is a professional. Then I educated you that cops aren’t trained to tackle and get into hand to hand combat. Don’t walk it back because you’re embarrassed. Your argument was flawed. We then agreed we need to fix the system but first and foremost resisting arrest is stupid.Well you are accusing me of vilifying the cops so you kind of are disputing thatNo one is disputing that.I’ve been saying that the whole time genius.... except for the part about Cops where I think they should be held accountable when they abuse their power.Therefore maybe instead of vilifying our police officers and burning and looting we should just not resist and not make martyrs out of those who do? Glad you finally saw the light.Yes not resisting would make the most senseFacts? There is subjectivity here. Obviously if you resist arrest you’re risking a lot, possibly your life. Doesn’t it make sense not to resist arrest?That’s what’s being investigated. Every cop is going to say they felt threatened so the facts need to line up????? So it’s subjective and if a cop feels threatened they may shoot. Yes or no?It depends on what the person is trying to do with itBut that is subjective. Is a rock “mortally threatening”?No, last thing I want is dead cops. I have tremendous respect for the job they do.Once he gets to the car the 3 officers pull him out of the car. If they see a weapon and he threatens them with it then it is justified to fireThat’s not what I’m arguing. That’s a lie.I don’t support him resisting arrest nor have I ever said anything of the sort. This is you lying again. Prove me wrong and show the quote where I supported him resisting arrestIn what way have I protected Blake?No of course not. Do you have a learning deficiency? I never said anything close to what you pretend I’m saying. I don’t want the cops to get killed and the only thing I’m defending that guy of is from getting 7 bullets in the back. He should have been arrestedI’ve worked with cops for years and they have an extremely difficult job and I give them a tremendous amount of credit. They have a huge responsibility but that doesn’t mean I won’t call out people who abuse their powerNo but you also don’t want to give them credit for a difficult jobI don’t want any cops to be killed. Another ridiculous lie you’re tellingI know what happened was wrong. Whether the responsibility is on the cops for mishandling per their training or not is what needs to be determined and acted uponSo you don’t know. Fantastic. Then stop criticizing the police officers and critique the system.All of the aboveYou said “tackle” and then ran it back and then said they need more training. Which is it?I’ve answered it several times now. Stop trollingYou still have yet to state what you would do if you were one of the police officers. Don’t hate the player hate the game. Police officers aren’t trained to wrestle suspects. They are actually trained not to. Don’t allow facts in the way of your moral thinking...Haha. How do you know he cavalierly walked through two tasers?! Did you get that from the same source that told you he “raced around the car” and that the cops had a “bad angle” to take him down when they were directly behind him?No...it’s like 5% of it and not as easy as you think. Ever been in a fight? Real tough fight?no it's more like 95% of itNo I’m it word parsing I’m calling out the BS spin you all are trying to use to justify this shooting. THERES A VIDEO WE CAN ALL SEE WHAT HAPPENED!! Stop lying about what happened. You said he “raced to the car” that’s a straight up lie. He clearly walkedThat made me laugh out loud. Thank you.He walked briskly. If the officers were trained in H2H combat they would not have had to draw their weapons. Also, why send a woman officer there? Makes no sense.Raced to the car? Can you point out the section of the video where he “raced to the car.“ Let me know the time code where he did anything but walk and I’ll check it outYou think that the video captured the entire event?Plenty of time ? All within a 1/2 second, huh ?I don't know why the 2 cops didn't just take him to the ground and cuff him they certainly had plenty of time to
There are many posts within this thread that answer your question.
I keep asking people who say what you do that the cops could have taken the woman beater who ignored the court order to stay away from her down from behind while he raced to the car if they saw video that I didn't, but all of you have said no. Did you?
1. He didn’t walk briskly, he walked, watch the video
2. You really think cops with guns aren’t trained to apprehend and arrest subjects?! Are you serious?
3. Why not send a woman officer? Don’t be a dick
You're just word parsing and bickering now, you couldn't be more clear you have nothing
Right, there's a video. Yet you keep contradicting the video as if we didn't see it and we don't know you're lying. The cops were behind him.
Blake had a choice. The cops didn't. You can't hide from that
For the umpteenth time it's preferable to be behind someone if you want to put him on the ground. Only you think it's easier to put a guy on the ground from in front of him
For the umpteenth time, taking him down isn't the challenge. That's like 5% of it
Yeah I've been in fights. I grew up in the shit end of a city and am well acquainted with violence. I know that 2 guys can almost always take down one unarmed guy.
2 cops armed with various weapons and trained to physically subdue people should always be able to take down one unarmed guy.
You're obviously lying since you take two guys fighting a wanted felon who had walked through two taser shots so cavalierly. Anyone who had been in a real fight would have realized how risky and dangerous that is
You can't spin your way out of that the sexual assaulter who violated his victim's restraining order that you're defending had the choice, not the cops you wanted to be killed for your leftist ideology
So it's OK then you want to get cops killed because you're protecting a guy who beats women then ignores the restraining order because you think it helps your political beliefs. Swell guy you are
And the sexual assaulter you're protecting should have obeyed the cops. It's on him.
You'd suddenly get that if it weren't for the orange many you hate so much
I've also said that he should have obeyed the police and he should have been arrested for not obeying. I don't know what Trump has to do with any of this, are you bringing him up because you don't have anything else to fling at this debate?
Blake was being arrested if he obeyed. There was a warrant out for his arrest and he violated the restraining order to stay away from his sexual assault victim.
You're protecting the sexual predator by supporting him resisting arrest and blaming the cops for his choices
You're word parsing. Of course you're supporting him resisting arrest. You're arguing that at the point he got into his car, the cops had to let him kill a cop and drive away
You've offered nothing else other than to keep saying you're batman and would have subdued him before he got in the car. That's still your answer to well, he did get into the car, well, it's their fault they should have stopped him first because you'd have used the Wonder Woman lasso on him.
You've said nothing other than that mantra about what they do since he did get to the car
You mean the ones that are still alive do that. Exactly, you want dead cops.
No one would be that stupid as to think that you can pull a guy with a gun out of a car and wait to see if he has a gun before you shoot him and he won't have started shooting already.
You want dead cops. Check and mate.
But you try that. I hope your kids like their new step dad
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that cops should see a weapon or be mortally threatened by a perp before killing them
