Back the Blue, Until It Happens to You: Cop Assaults 76yo Homeowner
Quote:
The officer was after some door to door salesmen that were apparently on this guy's property. Guy tells cop to get off his property, cop throws old guy down on the ground, apparently setting off a heart attack or something to the old guy. I don't understand how the officer has a right to stay on the curtilage after being asked to leave by the homeowner. That's the crux of the confrontation, right there. I don't see how anyone could see this and not want the officer arrested and fired for this. |

I support law enforcement. Unfortunately I don’t like most cops I have met.

Still wasting your time watching stupid cop block videos I see. Bill, why do you seem to enjoy videos where the cops end up in a difficult situation, are a criminal or have a criminal history?

I keep the weekend cop show on in the background while I'm doing computer stuff. There's this Chief from Hazen, AR who is the absolute best at the balance. |

I'm with the cop on this one. He told him enough times. Besides, look at those homes. One panel cost more than the house,

Steve actually hit it on the nose in his question. The definition of prevalent has nothing to do with statistics. It has to do with occurrence. How many of these have you seen? How many stupidly slow 10 hour shifts are posted?

The cop is interested in confronting the solar sales people because they purportedly don't have a peddlers' permit, not the old guy. Once the old guy asks the officer to leave, why couldn't the cop have simply walked to the street and ask the solar salesmen to come join him on the street? The old guy was gruff, yes, but I don't see why he's not right. He has asked the officer to leave several times, but the officer doesn't leave the property. Why? Ego? Two egos met on the field that day, and one of the egos got BTFO and had a heart episode. That showed him, I guess. **** you for trying to stand on your rights, old man! It doesn't seem like this was a hot pursuit situation, where the cop chased these people down to the old guy's house. What right did the officer have to stay on the land once asked to leave? The implied invitation open to anyone to walk up and knock on the front door has clearly been revoked. Old guy is standing up for his rights as a property owner. |

Guy turns his dome light on, rolls down window, grabs his insurance and registration out of the glove box and gets.....this. He did the exact thing I would do. Would you be bewildered like this guy was if that happened to you? You good with getting tazed a few times, causing you to fall on the concrete with no control? Dude is lucky he survived that. Remember what happened to the White girl who got her head smashed into the concrete? I think she's still in a coma. |

Floyd was being contacted because he had been accused of a crime. This is nothing like that. The cop has trespassed on his property, and old guy asked the cop to leave, several times, unsuccessfully. Old guy probably shouldn't have escalated with a cop who can legally assault him at will, though.

If you watched the door dasher get assaulted, and truly see nothing wrong with that, I just don't know what to say. They specifically state, guy has no police record at all, so he's just like you and me. He turned the dome light on and opened his window, things police tell us you're supposed to . He grabbed his insurance and registration to have it ready, again, something police tell us we're supposed to do. He followed the instructions, showed the hands, unlocked the door, opened it from the outside, got out, put his hands up, put his hands on his head, walked backwards, and failed at the get down on your left knee while keeping your hands on your head, a pretty decent test of balance. And they tazered him. And then, after ransacking his car and discovering that this guy is just like you and me, no criminal record, no contraband, NOTHING....they chose to arrest him anyway, after endangering his life by causing him to fall helplessly on the concrete. Again, if you don't see anything wrong with this picture, I just have no words. It was a game of Simon says that results in torture if you get something wrong. |
