More bending the knee due to white guilt

“like a top black cop” is going to be any better.   But the mayor of Atlanta is a top contender to be Biden’s VP so her forcing the chief to resign is no surprise.  Today will be an absolute key day.  Protestors are heading for the Atlanta PD headquarters.  Let’s pray it holds and does not retreat.

I live in medium size peaceful town.  Today there was a BLM rally and they were screaming about ending white supremacy and getting rid of Nazis and making our town more friendly to outsiders  I was like WTF.   We are friendly to others.    My favorite thing they said is “we do not want a race war.”  Bull shit.  You are starting one by saying that.  I pray we all get though this.

On my way home from work yesterday, I saw 4 black individuals standing on different corners of an intersection with their “need food”, “homeless, need help” signs. Seeing this, my thought was “if their lives matter, why aren’t these groups helping them?” Unfortunately, there are too many radicals in these groups that prevent any real progress from being made.

As far as what the Atlanta cop could have or should have done, there’s a certain way the higher ups are suppose to examine what happened. Simply put, the question is suppose to be what would a reasonable person do in that situation using only the information available at that time. You cannot monday morning quarterback an officer decision, especially if you’re including information that wasn’t available at the time of the incident. As far as shooting him in the foot, leg or arm, it amazes me that anyone would humor such nonsense especially a Presidential candidate. When I was in the army weapon qualification had three levels, marksman, sharpshooter and expert which was determined by a score of how many hits you had out of a certain number of shots. When I was a cop, it was a go or no go qualification meaning you either did enough to qualify or you didn’t. There’s an important reason behind that, it prevents stupid people from trying to accuse an officer of intentionally killing someone based on the officer having an expert qualification thus he should have been skilled enough to make a non-lethal shot on the suspect. I was lucky enough not to be in a shoot in my 7 years as a cop, but I was multiple times when I was in the army. The speed at which it happens is incomprehensible and everything is pure reaction and muscle memory. It’s why you are suppose to train so much and not fuck around with where all of your gear is located. I’ll end with a quick story-one night I responded to a call and eventually things went south. A guy didn’t want to go to jail and when I went to handcuff him he resisted. as we are fighting for position, still standing, another unit arrives but it couldn’t have been a worst guy. Let’s call him Steve. Steve was new to midshift (nights) and came from community policing which consisted of talking to people in neighborhoods about what issues they were having and what we could do for them. Steve was out of his comfort level on our shift, it can get serious very quickly and you need a certain mindset and a swagger about you that most don’t have. So here’s Steve moving at a lets say a little more than a jog-hoping it will be over before he has to do anything- as he approaches I call out for him to use his taser to incapacitate this individual so we can handcuff him and prevent any harm to him or ourselves. I used the short hand version which was “tase this motherfucker”. This fucktard pulls out a magazine and says “oh thats not it”. I fucking heard him say it! By the time he remembered where his taser was and how to operate it, I had the guy in handcuffs and we were done. That’s why you don’t move your shit around and I can’t even remember how I started on this rant but it’s done. Peace

The participation trophy generation is taking over.

And holy shit, glad you survived with that soup sandwich backing you up.
