In light of the anti-cop sentiment on the forum, I would like to offer this as a counterpoint:

Somebody here will find something wrong with what the police did.

People in glass houses, and all that.

Oh my God, those police are acting too much like the military. This is the police state you have been warned about.

There's a saying which was used in the late 60's early 70's about us scooter guys.

WHEN WE DO WRONG NO ONE FORGETS
WHEN WE DO RIGHT NO ONE REMEMBERS.

It wasn't 5 minutes after the report of my brother being killed in 2011 on another board the first reply was Fucking ATF agent, deserved to die.
Which was conveniently followed up by my Unbiased reply. 85% of the responses were positive the other 15% well IIRC 1/2 of then were permanently banned the rest, well deserved time outs. Which shows how tolerant and non-nanny the mods are here.

You have issues with LE fine, i do, some dating back 40 years. However calling for their summary execution [media style] if not blatant condemnation is many times, uncalled for. As was posted numerous times in numerous threads, Be it the CCW guy who chose not to engage the shooter, video of a no knock warrant etc. Unless you are the one mentioned in an article, armchair QB'ing is a waste of time and bandwidth.

that is all

Bad cop no donut, should have shot his hand instead.

This is a good article. Thanks for bringing it out. Personally,I like that the cops backed off and dealt with the situation calmly. I think the 'anti-cop sentiment' statement is off though. I have read many of those threads/statements and the fact is (as I have seen it) that most of the posts by people on this forum in those threads have been of two vains 1) making statements on the specific thread topic where if there was not a problem with how the cop acted it would not be there. They usually state/support that not all cops are bad but xyz sitution was messed up 2) asking questions for better undertanding where things don't make sense to the poster (many times backed up by other posters saying they also don't understand). The whole 'all these threads are cop bashing' is off. Some do hate cops but that stance is not the predominant one. I do think there is a frustration when cops defend the actions of the cops in the video/article based on "They were only following procedures". It shows a lack of common sense (which is obviously subjective) on how to interpret the situation and worse sounds too much like "They were only following orders". It's OK to say the cops messed that one up and did great on this one without being accused of cop bashing.

I also agree the Mods have been pretty good on keeping balance.

While I am critical of the actions of some in law enforcement, I overall support them. They should be held as examples of upholding the law, therefore held to a higher standard. Guardians of the innocent, deserving of a place of honor when doing the job right. On the flip side, flushed out when they transgress. In this case they deserve a hearty well done, and a metal for taking out the trash.
