So let’s cut the crap, eh? Being a cop isn’t particularly dangerous as occupations go.No comment on this one. Just passing it along. Something weird is brewing though.
Sworn officers are in fact officers of the court. Lying is unacceptable among both them and any organization that represents them. That means this butt-clown as well as the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association in NYC and Patrick Lynch, their President. Pathological liars are worthy of the middle finger, not respect, no matter who they are.
Further, these organizations are not going to get any sympathy from me as long as we have cops arresting anyone for “DUI” when they choose to sleep off their alcohol in a parking lot rather than drive, nor are you going to get to claim “valor” without a loud pushback from people like myself as long as there is even one cop who reaches a settlement for his alleged attempt to create pornography with the intended target being solicited as a means to void an alcohol possession citation. That’s official corruption and if I pulled something like that I’d be prosecuted instead of being able to slough off the “settlement” on the taxpayers of the town.

Absolutely, I think that "protect and serve" is a joke to many people, except it's not funny especially to to those citizens of color and those on the low end of the economic spectrum. Police mostly act to preserve and protect the governmental and financial institutions that rule our lives. The worst example is the home of stop-and-frisk (if one is Black) in New York City. Off-duty and retired Black cops have recently spoken out about being victims of it, because they are not immune. And then there are the swat teams raiding the wrong houses and killing the occupants ...etc.
ReplyDeleteThe days of Officer Friendly walking the beat are over. People are fed up, and they're not taking it any more. Turn your back on the mayor? Get fired, ought to be the result. But the NYC department is totally corrupt, focusing on small people and keeping the crime rate down by not reporting it.
the thing that is beginning to startle is that the "influential" are trying there best to damp down the tensions on both sides but no one is listening anymore. additionally support from the usual places is really lacking.
Deletei don't quite know what to make of this but it isn't good. i'll be watching for new developments....like protesters showing up in Oregon to protest a 100 year old Navy vet who was receiving medals that were won but never awarded....the chant at his ceremony? hands up don't shoot.
Next time you need a Policeman call a thug then Bubba.

DeletePeople have been calling police in New York but they get the run-around, as reported here. Then they can say that harassing citizens results in a lower crime rate.
DeleteI wrote out a long dam response that vanished so to make it short I'm white and yes I am an officer. I went to DC and New York a few years back and I got stopped by the police or pulled out of every line by security to get patted down. Why, because as a cop I look around athe who is around me a lot. Criminals do this as well, but they are looking for victims not bad guys.
DeletePolice focus on minority and low income neighbirhoods, because that's where the criminals commit most of their crime and where many live. Do I spend a majority of my night in the suburbs waving to Mr or Mrs middle America walking the dog or taking out the trash or do I spend my time where the dopen houses are catching the burglars and robbery actors going to get their drugs? I've mabye caught 16 burgers and robbery actors in the act, but thousands of them coming from dope houses. Yes most of my arrests are from the low income/minority neighborhoods, but that is changing since the housing price fall. Many parents moved into better neighborhoods to get their kid in with a better crowd, but the kids are still doing drugs and breaking into stuff. It is really sad,
its not about criminals. this has moved beyond the Ferguson incident and onto the incident in New York..many are focusing on the Ferguson incident to bolster the case for strong support of the police but the troublesome case is the New York case. the guy that got choked out (and no, that was not a legal hold and i have certifications and training from the USMC and Sheriffs dept that prove i know what i'm talking about) and killed was simply selling "loose cigarettes. that is an adminstrative action yet we saw 6 cops waiting to take him into custody.
Deleteyou say he resisted, i say he didn't understand why he was being arrested. you say the hold was legal, i say the patrol supervisor on scene acted like a pussy and didn't control the rookie officer. that is the issue that is being fought about but even that isn't really about Garners death. its about heavy handed policing in New York. police aren't being seen as officer friendly but as an occupying army.
and now those New York cops are acting like spoiled kids. Tony you know your stuff. i've talked to you enough times to know that you're not the problem or the issue. but there are guys out there that are. but even MORE importantly we're seeing law enforcement being used as revenue generators for the govt and they're being seen as part of a system that keeps people form achieveing there dreams.
if you can't see that then i can only guess its because you refuse to. oh and the MRAPs that everyone is buying despite many citizens being alarmed by it, and the lies that are being told that they're 'rescue vehicles' will come to a head real soon. SWAT will be safe. any time you have a barricaded person it will end peacefully. the problem will be that patrol officers will be the new focus of everyones aggression.
I get that's what is out there that police are apart of the system being review generators, but thats a political view the Libertarianstatus and anarchists have been pushing for a few years.
DeleteYes, in New York over a decade ago they started what's called a broken window policy. They hammer every offence as if it was major. The theory is that if you deter the smaller crimes by not being lax fewer people will commit larger crimes.
The point on Garner is he was arrested and cited numerous times for selling open pack cigarettes. Like or dislike the law it is on the books and he didn't care to follow the law. So when should police say oh well you don't want to follow the law so we will just stop arresting you ?
I did see another angle a few days ago where it looked like he did lock it in, but still the MEs report said he died from a heartattack not chocking. Heck he even pointed out there was no damage to his throat. He would have died from any other portion of the arrest process that he resisted.
Now the Mrap thing I can see from both sides. A small town sherif or police chief with barely a budget to oayou their guyes sees they could get something for free that big cities get, but pay half a milion for Bearcats. Now what most people don't know is nothing is ever truly free from the feds. Now they have to find a way to deploy this vehicle so many times a year or they will be charged some ungodly amount and problems won't receive any of the fed money that keeps their department afloat. So yeah they will deploy it when it's not really needed. Will it be used no, but deployed to the scene yes. Oh and I'm betting the whole rescue vehiclear came from the feds. My wife got a grant for her class to get something and in a condition of receiving the grant she had to post it on social media and all kinds of stuff or they would not actually send her the money. I'm betting once the story on departments getting them free went south someone saI'd he let's make them call them rescue vehicles and have someone call a press conference and mention themy being rescue vehicles like they came up with the udea.
excessive force , did that ever occured to you ? when cop see from his own point of view , safety wise , it is understandable to use force, but the man selling cigarretee however illegal still he is not attacking anyone.. how can one justify such excessive force in taking him down like he is a violent offender ?
Deletethere's a limit between understanding a cop's safety and a cop's abuse of power, which i saw aplenty here in my country , and believe me , no one in the population symphatized with cops that abused their power and bully / extort civilians..
The man was saying I can't while "being choked" which means he could breathe. So not an excessive use of force. Take that example out of it. Let's say I write you a ticket for not using your turn signal. I ask you to sign the tivet and you refuse. By policy I then place you under arrest for refusing to sign which signing only says you understand you must make a court appointment. So I tell you your under arrest and you say F you I'm not going to jail. So I pull you phyield outhe of the car and place you in an a hold until I get handcuffs on you or until an assist comes and can help place you in cuffs would that be excessive to you? Now along with that if you then tried to turn or get up from the groundate I'm allowed to punch you as a distraction and gain control of you. Is that excessive? These are things that seem bad, but do not cause long term damage for the most part. That is the lowest physical use of force police have other than just touching you.
DeleteHoly crap.....are you guys seeing this-
ReplyDeletehttp://www.marketwatch.com/story/crude-returns-below-50-as-prices-tick-down-2015-01-06
Maybe....just maybe Solomon's house of cards reality is coming true. Or.....maybe this is exactly what US businesses require. Cheaper energy for more competitive manufacturing while at the same time a destruction of this whole financial structure that is diverting investments away from proper factories to what literally is a financial cloud.
the one theory that no one wants to talk about is my long predicted destruction of globalization. the economies of almost all nations were kept propped up artificially. now thats unwinding.
Deletewhat should scare the shit out of everyone is the fact that we're seeing pre-WW2 conditions. we've seen a market crash, but while that was occuring everyone has been buying weapons like crazy. how do you stimulate an economy artificially on a global scale? by starting at least regional and if you're really evil, multiple regional wars.
On your views on Globalization and its destruction, I will differ. Even the blood thirsty mongols of old understood the value of trade and the importance of not just keeping open but controlling merchant routes. The ancient Persian empire also did the same as did the Romans with their roads and the Greeks. Even the British and other colonial empires.....off course the brutality of those times ensured that it wasnt called globalization but Colonization.
DeleteBut just imagine....if the US is able to regain some if not all of those 40 million (estimated) manufacturing jobs that it allegedly lost as part of its concentration on new age sunrise sectors like finance and electronics. There are still many industries where the US can wipe the floor with the rest of us due the presence of its infrastructure, transport, concentration of talent and availability of finance plus demand from domestic market.
Economical/Frugal/Cheap US manufacturing is not a myth but a hard reality that your finance oriented monetary system is hiding in plain sight from the whole world. One look at per ton cost of transport of any material, per ton storage of any material, time taken to make and end deliver any product to consumer, per ton/per product cost of bribery, avoidable delays/bottlenecks to manufacturing, access to affordable technology and talent, globally accepted and benchmarked currency, security garunteed to assets end products and employees, per ton/per product cost of energy used to make and transport products etc.
Your manufacturing and industrial base is being deliberately hidden in plain sight.
dude. name one thing the US gets in benefit from the current trading system besides oil (and we're quickly becoming energy independent!). name just one thing! cheap trinkets from China that don't last? cars from asian and european countries? beef from australia and rare minerals (ok we need the minerals) but on the whole the current trading system doesn't benefit the US at all. IT DOES benefit the rest of the world.
Deleteno one wants to hear it but the US, and Russia have the ability to be self sustaining. i believe India does too but i'm not sure. maybe Germany, Australia...Brazil....but i can't name too many other nations that could. if the US faced a world wide embargo it would hurt at first but we would easily adjust and maybe be the better for it. could anyone else?
What is happening is that mainstream America is seeing a world that they previously have never seen or heard. Thanks to social media and new media they are starting to see more and more of what it is like to live where the police are viewed as a foreign occupying force instead of a benevolent force of peace officers. Social media in conjunction with the destruction of the ghettos and dispersion of their residents to suburbia is also allowing a new view of the police.
ReplyDeleteSo, everything from injury to 19 month old by a flash bang (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/report-georgia-cops-critically-injure-baby-with-flash-bang-device-during-raid/), to the Gibson Guitar raid (http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2011/08/31/140090116/why-gibson-guitar-was-raided-by-the-justice-department) to general enforcement of family laws now involves the police. And if it involves the police there is a good chance it involves a SWAT team. The American public loves SWAT team when it rescues hostages, it does not love a SWAT team that accidentally injured a baby or is used on a guitar factory.
I bring up family law because we are now up to two full generations of men have ran afoul of the US legal system and have come away terrible view of it. Average Joe Six Pack has now had several negative runs ins with the law ranging from CPS to dead beat dad laws, to alimony and forcible confiscation of his pay through wage garnishment laws.
Summation: Americans liked the police when they helped you out with a flat tire and wrote you a speeding ticket once every 5 years when you could not argue that, yes I was running 70 in a 55. We have been seeing a lot less of that and a lot more police dressed in MARPAT armed with AR15 family of weapons that are pointed directly at the public.
that is the best, most balanced, well thought out analysis of the situation that i've heard ANYWHERE. well done.
Deletebut where do you see this going? can it get worse or am i overly concerned?
I hate predicting the future, normally that is one of the best ways to look like an idiot a couple of years down the road. But here goes...
DeleteI expect very little to change other than the respect the average American has for law enforcement will continue to steadily drop.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kEpZWGgJks
Laws like this will continue to undermine the police and government but laws will not be changed. Most of the nation now has Republican controlled states but libertarian wing of party has shriveled while growing louder and thus cannot affect much change. Municipalities will continue to fine their citizens to generate revenue and the public will direct their anger at the police not the politicians that have turned their police into revenue agents instead of peace officers.
The American obsession with numbers and accountability will only to continue to grow. So while the average citizen is more pissed than ever about being stopped and fined by the police we will continue to evaluate the individual officers based on the numbers of tickets they have wrote and arrests made, not if they have made their city safer.
End result is simply a steady decline in the respect of police. Will we reach the point of third world nations where people are ashamed they have a family member in the police? I really hope not.
We don't see that as a rule where I live.
DeleteThe average cop lives down the road from us a State Trooper who jogs past the house for exercise.
Kin folks who are Police, friends who are Deputy Sheriffs.
Rural may be the reason, but perhaps a person just sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest.
I do know if you start shit with anyone you usually get shit in return, attitude and behavior make a good part of the reaction you will receive.
If you are up and in their face as anti Cop, you get what you hand them.
Most are just members of the community, average guys keeping the peace and enforcing laws.
Of course if you want anarchy go for it. next time you have a problem that normally would require a Policeman, robbery, theft, rape assault call anyone other than a Policeman and see what ya get.
As in the Military I respect the rank in this case the badge and rule of law, not the man who is after all only human.
I grew up in an extremely small town where we had 1 part-time municipal law enforcement officer and if we needed more you had to call the Country Sheriff's department. He was only used in response to citizen complaints about something, speeding on main street by those darned teenagers, drunk drivers coming out of the local watering hole, too loud of music, and so on. He was polite professional and probably only carried a gun because most of the citizens had gun racks in the back of their trucks. He certainly never needed to use it. Everyone knew him and everyone liked him. I think he was a salesman at a furniture store for his regular job.
DeleteBut he was never assigned with arresting at 10 people a week. He never had to generate thousands of dollars in fines to fund the city budget. He was never seized $20,000 in cash from a citizen that claimed he was on the way to an auction.
He was simply a police officer and we got along with him. The Sheriff's department was much the same way. The Sheriff's son was one of my school mates and the Sheriff would come to his son's baseball games where he would occasionally throw out a drunk redneck dad that would not shut up about a strike call. That is why he was reelected.
When the Sheriff's department served a warrant, usually to a redneck that did not appear in court for his DUI case, it was a simple matter of a deputy pull him over and arrest him or arrest him walking out of his place of work. Usually they were on a first name basis. There was very little use of the SWAT team and a Mayor that insisted on a speed trap to generate revenue would have been voted out office, because everyone in the town used that road.
My recollections of local law enforcement are assuredly clouded by time and the eyes of a child but to me that is what law enforcement is supposed to be about. Be a part of the community and respond to community desires.
USMC you are correct in larger departments an officers worth is based on stats. If all an officer cares to do is be in patrol or promote their stats mean nothing, well unless they actually want to go to trainings or work lucrative part time jobs. So if you want to make it to a specialized unit or do anything else for that matter you better be answering calls, writing reports, arresting people, and making traffic stops. (They can't say legally you have to write tickets, but they know the more stops an officer makes the higher the chance they will write.) this is normally pushed not by the Sgts or even Lts, but by heads of divisions. They want to go to the chief and say look what my guys are doing to prevent crime please pick me to be the next level up. In many departments the chief gets to pick deputy chiefs or some call them majors who then answer directly to the chief. So again politics get involved. Also there is no other real way to judge preformance.
DeleteI would still prefer your latter system over the statistics based system. Trust your chief to make the correct call and if he does not then you fire him. The stories I have read about the larger cities, NY, Philly, Chicago, make it very apparent that if you do not want to end up working the the middle of the night in the worst part of the city then you need to make arrests your "not a quota" quota.
DeleteThere was a story about a Philly officer that figured out how to set a record for arrests in a month. He stopped every bicyclists he came across and asked for ID. When they could not produce an ID he arrested them and took them to the station where they where processed and released. But he set a record because he was allowed to arrest someone without ID and most of the residents that hopped on a bike did not grab their IDs. The officer was awarded and the local populace became more bitter towards police.
The Ferguson PD was expected to make a budget shortfall of roughly 400,000 per year. The rationale sold by the politicians was that the police department is so expensive because of the bad people in the city. So let's not tax the good people of the city to pay for the larger police department required because of the bad people. Let's make the bad people pay for the police department through fines. So the police department has to make up the difference or the police budget suffers.
In the end i think blaming the police themselves is wrong. The real question is, "What are we asking our police to do that is making them so hated by the populace?"
The site killedbypolice.net lists over 1000 people killed by police in 2014, and the voluntary FBI data base has over 400 for 2013 of proper deaths caused by police. In all of England and Wales the deaths are do not break single digits. Our numbers a staggering high compared to the rest of the free world. So again what are we asking our police to do that they have to kill so many of our fellow citizens. That is a question for governors, heads of legislatures, president's, and mayors. Not a question for the chief of police.
Many officer involved shootings are over some type of drug related offense. Normally the bad guy just doesn't want to get caught. Then tack on the suicide by cop incidents and the sad fact is the rest are nominal numbers their numbers add in in custody deaths and people that wreck out during a pursuit. 400 or so is the FBI average for a year in shooting deaths. It's been about 400 a year for a while. The FBI also did a few year survey and found that on average 96 out of those 400 were a white officer on black male shooting.
DeleteMy biggest fear with the protest and loss of support from a few small groups is that physical and or weapon violence will increase during arrests. What I mean is thing grown adults could have a debate over 14 and 15yoa kids interpret differently. That age group are the ones getting started in gangs and carrying guns. So now they may feel they have more of a reason to pull a gun on an officer stopping them causing more shootings and in turn more backlash.
Oh and in Texas only a certain percentage of the local police budget can be funded by tickets. The rest is forfeited to the state to keep small towns from using the populace or the ones passing through as a full funding source.
Here is another thing how are the family units in other countries? Is there a father in most every home teaching their sons right from wrong and when you do wrong there is a punishment for it. Since my wife is a teacher I see how bad it is going to get in the future. Now she works in a middle class neighborhood and when she doesn't give a kid a star for being good at the end of the day for being disruptive she gets a call from parents wanting to yell at her to give their kid a damn star because it was her fault their child was disruptive. Now compare that tonwhen we were kids and we woukd get our butt beat if our parents found out we disrupted class. How is that kid going to grow up and act when police stop him or have to make contact with him latter on in life. He will act like a damn idiot and get treated like one. Police are already dealing with the first wave of kids like that now in their 20s and it's only going to get worse.
Compared to the rest of the world the US is a model of family stability and 2 parent homes. In Britain they worse numbers of single parent homes and children and parents that never married. Still far less violence shootings by police. This also holds true for countries with far more gun ownership like Finland.
DeleteI know a lot of people blame the drug war. I more inclined to lean that way but i doubt if we end the control of drugs we will see a drop in crime?
Do you have any numbers for the numbers of deaths and arrests in Colorado following their change in law? That would be the closest to controlled study that I can think of.
Meant the western world mostly Europe.
DeleteFrom what I hear they are still putting the number together there. The big thing for Colorado is the spike in vehicle related deaths due to people being high. Also the Marijuana tar that's upwards of 80 to 90 % thc that is causing more overdoses showing up at hospitals.
DeleteMarijuana isn't a big cause of shootings, but look at Albuquerque NM. They hAve a ton of officer involved shootings in its mainly method related.
And here all the hippies always insisted that you could not overdose on pot. Tommy Chong lied to me! Seriously i have had many a hippie or pot head swear you could never overdose on pot.
DeleteSeveral Albuquerque news papers have said that Breaking Bad was far to accurate of a depiction of the city, so i can see that.
I have no idea of what would happen if America tried to legalize drugs. After all this the same country that is doing it's best to discourage the use of Tobacco. Eric Garner sold untaxed cigarettes on a street corner because it was profitable. So i find it hard to believe that we will be cool with meth being sold legally and big gulp and pack of Marlboros is now banned.
Yeah the cigarette thing is tied to organized crime and terrorist funding. They run down to tobacco country where they can still buy Malboros for around 20 a carton and turn around and sell them for 80 or more. Someone like Garner then sold them as singles for lord knows how much and it funds a ton of crap.
DeleteWell you couldn't od on weed back when it was crap weed from Mexico at 3% THC, but now low level hydro is 20% to 35% at the high end and then you have the idiots making hash at 80 to 90%. The video of the hash houses blowing up is awesome. Anyway that's why teenagers by 18 have neurological disorders that the elderly have is from smoking the 20 to 30% level. By the 80% mark hallucinations are possible and they react mildly like a PCP user with delayed responses.
As with most modern professions the automobile is the number one danger to LEO in deaths and injuries.
ReplyDeleteSt. Louis Missouri has a population of est 360,000 people, of that number 1,363 are police officers or 38.4 Police per 10,000 citizens. That's roughly 264 people per Policeman/woman.
A full strength US Army Infantry company is usually 250 men and women, so One Policeman/woman per a company sized element of Infantry is what we have in comparison of size.
Think about that next time you think of a Policeman's job dealing with a job that is 264 to 1 odds.
My theory on why this happens, and I'm sticking to it, is that a too-ready use of force outside the borders, instead of diplomacy and patience, is easily transferred to law enforcement inside the borders. Then we're all "in harm's way," subject to a swat raid, a choke hold or a fatal shooting.
ReplyDeleteDon you really do sound like a cop blocker. You need to go there and you will get your anti cop fill on the lies and half truth they like to spew.
ReplyDeleteSolar I still say the majority of the backlash is directed at the feds, but the feds are to big so go after the local guys that they see everyday. The sad thing is many of the protestor are anarchists, but are calling for the feds to step in which is odd. I think they are being used, because if you look honestly at the departments that the justice department has gone after and virtually forced extra training down them the departments were doing their job even if it didnto look pc. A few have started speaking out about the training that they are being taught to ignore the signs of criminal behaviour if it's a minority and just move on in order to appease the current justice department.
A
on another note I have not heard anything on Eola lately and a ton of classes for Eola response are popping up.
i think Don is just like i am. we support our guys (LEOs) but we see some clowns. not everyone is like you TOny...not everyone does it for the right reasons.
DeleteGovernment employee unions should be banned.
ReplyDeleteNothing good comes from having the ability to vote for (and donate to the campaign for) your boss.
Agree with spud. The government union thing is way off the scale.
ReplyDeleteThe 2014 incident that got me was the New Mexico shooting of a homeless guy.... where no lethal force risk was present at all (that video). That was 2nd Degree Murder. With that, I support the police. They are important. Want to change them? Join up. In any event. Follow ALL their instructions if you have problems with their process, deal with it after the fact in an official manner. I don't get the part where being a police officer is not hard.
Eric I hate unions. The homeless incident you are talking about was not reported correctly. They were there almost 10hrs. They had a negotiator there and a mental health officer there. They both agreed there was no other way to resolve the situation than to try the bean bag/ taser if I remember and the dog. Bean bag missed if they used the taser it was inefective and the dog was already released so they shot to protect the dog. The few minutes released does not show the hrs leading up to the shooting. Sometimes shit doesn't work right, bean bags don't fly straight and taser rarely work so against someone holding a knife that a negotiator has determined will not go peacefully what do you expect them to do. Leave and hope the guy doesn't kill a hiker?
Deleteshoot to protect the dog? are you serious?
Deletehuman life is indeed cheap...
DeleteNot saying a dog is the same or above a human. I feel dogs are property and nothing more, but police dogs in most states are considered police officers not dogs. We are instructed to that even if we get bit we are nothe allowed to harm the dog unless we could die from the injury inflicted. They are considered an officer and we are trained to protect them as if they were a person.
DeleteStarve him out. Make noise. Don't let him sleep. See how long he holds a knife then. Dogs shouldn't be released unless you really have to use them. They are a prized resource. Reason? Dogs need to end the shift in one piece too. The video is pretty clear. I don't like vagrancy. AT.... ALL..... I don't have a problem with cops rousting vagrants. They can go anywhere but my jurisdiction. Allowing vagrancy allows other crimes to breed. Unfortunate that billy-clubs / tonfas are out of fashion. 3 guys with those would have made quick work of the situation. The basic tonfa class mated up to some health cops should work fine in that situation. The tonfa has a large scale of use. It can do mild persuasion, or scalable incapacitation on demand. Send me and Solomon up there with with tonfas. I bet we would come back down the hill with the guy or the guy ready to be carried down.

The off-duty officer who apparently attacked a rookie subway conductor on a Bronx platform last month — then was videotaped running from the station — didn’t immediately flee on foot. He first tried to make his escape by subway, the conductor said.
Officer Mirjan Lolja was still throttling the 28-year-old transit worker at the Tremont Ave. station when a B train arrived at approximately 2:30 a.m. Dec. 23, she said. Lolja only stopped when he heard the downtown local screeching to a stop, she said.
Security video shows off-duty cop Mirjan Lolja grinning as he leaves the Tremont Ave. subway station in the Bronx on Dec. 23. He's accused of attacking a female MTA worker, who says he originally tried fleeing by train until riders stopped him.
another incident... is this open season for everyone to hit on cops ?
ReplyDeleteAlbuquerque police officer Lou Golson was shot by a motorist during traffic stop. According to criminal complaints, Golson suffered a gunshot wound in the abdomen. A gunshot to the chest and two other gunshots to his left side did not penetrate his bullet proof vest, the complaint said. However, Golson broke a left femur and suffered a broken wrist during his fall.

You know there are good and bad in every organization, from the USMC, Army, Navy, Police they all have individuals who ruin how they are perceived by the public, whether you are pissing on dead terrorists, or just being a prick during an arrest. I don't particularly like law enforcement wearing military equipment, but in todays world there is justification. I've been reading this blog (well looking at the photo's anway), but who made you Mr Perfect? Is this a gamer site or am I missing something here. !
