Back to the OP's subject line, have there been rumblings of possible riots yet? I haven't heard anything along this line. But then, since there is a media twist claiming this response was racial, Rev Al could still go down there and agitate folks, combined with Soros group that buses in protestors & we could likely see more wag the dog activity.

They're already here. They claimed at first it was racism, as the afternoon went on the claimed it was classism. I'm going to dig up an interesting video or 2 for you guys to watch from today. Standby

When I was younger I was a Lifeguard. I was put at one of the tougher pools because I was better at handling these types of situations(including the occasional fight). I got called to an even rougher pool one day because they (the kids at the pool) were really getting to one of the other lifeguards there. It was rough. Some tried to sneak in, others acted like they owned the place. I kicked some out, sat others in a time out and was able to bring order back. I did this by standing my ground when needed, working with the parents and then using them against each other instead of allowing it to continue in a 'pack mentality'. The biggest thing I did was not lose control, which was the mistake of the other guard(s). I did not need to call the cops, which is what the others were close to doing. If we had, I would have expected them (the cops) to do the same. I de-escalated, not what that jackhole did.

The thin-blue-line statements come from cops trying to defend him...... So gonna stick by my comments.

Actually the the first part of my post "let's say you're not a cop" clearly laid out what I was asking. The thin blue line comments don't apply to my questions. Maybe you are reading someone else's posts.

Height, weight, able or disabled. You sound more like this is a dick measuring contest than a discussion of what happened in TX.

Myself it's all about deescalating / diffusing the situation than being involved in a possibly felony, the ER or morgue. I gather from this post of yours, you HAD TO PROVE something.
1 more item, in a fight there's no such thing as fair.

Lol, whatever you say.

I argued with my wife about this earlier. That girl was running her mouth for sure, but someone who is walking away from you is not a threat.

+1 here. If your a CCW and are anywhere near a fight you lose.... Regardless. Part of having a gun is knowing that most times..... Just back off. There is nothing worth it unless you and your are in REAL danger.

Im not a police officer if that is what you are insinuating. Stupid question but the pools you lifeguarded at, were the public or private?

Ok, here's the situation so you can bash me some more
went to pull into a parking space my wife and I were waiting for, car ran in front and took it from us. I parked somewhere else than we went to the elevator of the parking garage. The guy was in the same elevator, I told him he should learn to drive. The doors opened up and he proceeded to push me out of the elevator. I turned and he swung, he misses I hit him in the mouth, we enchanted a. Couple rounds than stopped. Yes I know, I am wrong I should have pulled out my gun and shot him cause he was bigger than me right? Go ahead and explain what you "would have done".

Others are cops/ex-cops.

Did both. I was able to get a good reputation for handling things well and got a lot of gigs in both.
