I'd happily hire him if I was in charge of hiring cops for Pittsburgh. Everything looked correct and by the book for both officers prior to the crap going down and shooting the guy was totally justified. You can't attack an officer with a weapon, don't care who you are.

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Hell of a way to run a country, when the authority's consider the population their enemy. It is that thinking that has the populace at arms with the police now. I don't like being thought of automatically as a criminal when I speak with a cop. You sound like you are looking forward to armed confrontation with the citizens. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

There'd be a lot of dead people what with all the rock and bottle throwing that's been going on the last couple weeks. OTOH, all those dead people would shape up the populace pretty quick. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

You made a post of a SWAT team (10 people) resigning from a city force. SWAT teams are there to responde to extreme emergencies (hostage rescue, armed takeovers, etc...) they do not patrol the street. I am not sure how wanting a city to have a SWAT team has anything to do with "armed confrontation with citizens".... Nobody said anything about the whole population being an enemy. You are setting up a lot of strawmen.... So yes, I think cities should have a SWAT team, and that has nothing to do with what is going on now. Again nobody needs a SWAT team until they need a SWAT team. |

But hard to justify the amount of money spent on these Hit squads if they don't do other duty's , like no knock raids, and serving warrants. These guys need to be drug tested and tested for steroid use regularly. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

You do realize police are drugs tested and polygrpahed (so they can't lie about former drug use)? .... Steroid Use? I guess? I am not sure that is a massive problem.... Hit Squads is a pretty divisive term, doing high risk warrants is part of their job.... I am not sure what you link about SWAT support specialist job description is trying to prove? That they take careful accounting of monthy stats and inventory? |

I don't think I would pull the trigger seeing a taser spark and knowing what I knew. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
