Here you go from this morning's news!
http://www.katc.com/news/shreveport-...lice-shooting/ I guess the SPD officer should have sacrificed the SFD medic in a bid to disarm the old fart!! Hypoxia from COPD or an asthma attack could have set him off in his combative state without any history of pshyc problems - in the end he is still dead as a door nail and the cop did his job and will be cleared after a few weeks of paid time off. |

my dad is approaching his 20 years in a much larger metropolitan area than anywhere around here. Hell, the area has more total people than this state. He tells me how he is sick and tired of dealing with the bullsh*t at work, how the newer guys are all gung-ho trying to see how many tickets they can write or arrests they can make. He says that the new force is nothing but a high school clique, mostly of people who were picked on or had trouble like that growing up so they want that power aspect.
What REALLY chaps my *** about like charles is the amount of police we have. City, Sheriff, State, Marshall, US Border & Customs, and Game Wardens. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention the police officers in town who go out, get drunk at a brag about being an officer, then casually get in their car and drive home. Sometimes its their patrol car they get to take home. Don't get me started on speeding, unsignaled lane changes, tailgating, or any other traffic violations I see officers commit simply because they think they are the law. Sucks that some bad apples ruin the reputation of the whole. |

LMAO!! I love when people ask me why we drive so fast with no lights on and think we are above the law! My response to a lady at the store the other day -"because we can"!
"If you want the freshest bread, marry a baker. You want the best steak, marry a butcher. Want to drive fast, become a cop"! Oldie, but goodie!!!! And for the record, I got written up the other day for breaking our driving policy - dang new Chargers are faster than the old ones! |

A friend of mine graduated the academy about a year ago. I asked him what he learned about open carry being legal. He said it was not taught to them. Thats very concerning since I open carry a cocked and locked 1911. Shouldnt open carry laws be need to know information for cops? That is nothing but an accident waiting to happen due to a failure of education on the police departments part.

FinFeatherFur,
As i said in my original post i have a very high level of respect for most police officers i have met in my life. I like many have also met a few who were borderline insane. I didn't post the video as an insult to you or your brother's in blue. I posted it as a question, The question being, Why was there no restraint in this situation. True someone called 911 and said the guy was parading around with a kid and a gun. (but i can call 911 and complain that my neighbor is shoving live hand grenades up a dog's rear end.... doesn't make it true) He was unarmed when police arrived, He was not imminently going to hurt the child, a police officer, and or anyone else. Why in this situation is a "kill" shot the go to solution? I mean are you telling me i am 1 mental breakdown away from potentially getting killed by a police officer?.... lol dude.. i need to get my doctor to write me a script for some happy pills to keep handy just in case.... And yes i know we were not there and we don't know the whole situation.... but the admitted facts are still the facts... there was no pressing danger to anyone at the scene, why was lethal force the first rather than last option? For what it's worth, thank you for your service to your community. I would love to ride along with you anytime. (not because i think i am a badass or anything, but because knowledge helps in many ways) I have no doubt that you have to walk a fine line, and i am sure that if it was me, I would not be very happy if a bad apple was making me look bad. |

AceArcher. To give you the simple answer - YES, you are jsut one mental breakdown from being killed by a cop.......... if the situation warrants it! Always remember that!! Each and every situation is different. And not being there, how can anyone say what was happening. The media is biased and I hate reporters because they are all doing the same thing - giving the public what they "want" to hear, instead of what they "need" to hear!

What's the accepted best way to inform an officer that you open carry when your involved in a traffic stop etc? |

LOL - Try "sir, I have a gun on my side". That usually works just fine.

Agreed wholeheartedly about the media. All of it is agenda based. Like i said i value the good work the police does a hell of a lot more the occasional bad. |
