Attorney General Lynch Comments On The Bland Case

I agree with her. It is the job of a professional police officer to de-escalate a situation. All to often today cops do quite the opposite. This cop escalated this situation with his threats of using force I.E. tazer. His performance turned a routine traffic situation into a death penalty case. Too many cops prefer playing the hard ass role. Originally Posted by dirty dog

It wasn't the fact that she would not exit the vehicle after being told to 4 times before being warned ANOTHER 4 times that he would remove her if she didn't. He then forced her to become a Jerry Springer/Maury Povich episode in a maxi-dress from there on out, right?

And I'm no doctor or lawyer, but I think it was the garbage bag she wrapped around her neck that killed her, not a judge or jury. But that is also his fault. Surely, she was a completely sane and decent human being before he came along.

Actually yes, except for the lane change the other things are not illegal. There were many instances that the officer could have and should have used his training and experience to take this situation to a less confrontational place but he chose to do just the opposite as many policemen do these days especially when dealing with minorities, I experienced this first had on a trip through that shithole known as texas. If you want to continue to be an apologist for the Police go ahead, cause they sho knows how to deal with those uppity negros.
They are taught to avoid escalation, but you've got too many Billy Badasses out there who have little dicks and can't wait to take it out on the next poor soul that comes along. Originally Posted by WombRaider

And those "Billy Badasses" are your favorite " customers " down at the 'holes to give you your "ropey loads " and to pack your fudge !

And, as is typical of abusive, entitled people, she was annoyed at the idea of being held accountable. The entire situation escalated because she refused to cooperate. He attempted to put her in check, because she needed checking, and she went ghetto. It appalls me that you people dismiss how incredibly out of control SHE was and how easily you turn a blind eye to her unacceptable behavior. She is responsible for it, no one else.

If you know you have a target on your back, you know that Black people are being KILLED just for being Black, you don't help these assholes aim the gun at your head. You comply with reasonable requests and take note of those that are not. You don't poke the beast you claim to be afraid of. And no one owes her a free pass because she's Black or because Black people are being targeted. The police shouldn't ease up on anyone because of the fear of being accused of profiling and targeting. We are less protected as a whole. Break the law, pay the consequence. Or don't break the law. Alien concept, I know.

Quit enabling these fools.
