Out-of-Control Cop Just Had to Shoot After Escalating Unnecessary Conflict
More than an hour after a father called 911 in Sacramento County to calmly ask for assistance for his son who was stressed after meeting for the first time with a psychiatrist, and who had since taken his medication and fallen asleep on a mattress in the living room, a deputy arrived at their home, ignored the parents’ efforts to explain that an officer’s intervention was no longer necessary, barged into their home without permission, and twice yelled “Get up!”
The son, although starled, stood up as directed. Then, while apparently expecting to be handcuffed, faced the wall and put his hands behind his back. The deputy then ordered the son, whose mental illness included an extreme phobia of germs, to “get on the ground.” The son, who the parents say was psychologically unable to lie down on a dirty floor, started to get down but then stood back up while asking the deputy to arrest him. For purposes of understanding the events, the deputy’s name is McEntire, the son’s name was Johnathan, the father's name is Ted Rose. http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/07/09/59178.htm
The father, who was reportedly shocked by the bizarre turn of events, grabbed his son in an attempt to end the physical confrontation.
The parents say that the deputy who killed their son lacked training. They said that any reasonably trained officer would have responded without escalating the situation and using unnecessary deadly force.

3. Theyre never there when you need them.
But when the sarge is asking for their daily/monthly activity reports, they're not gonna blink twice before issuing a citation or even hauling you to jail.
Corrupted jerks. |

4. Murder.
I'll never call the police for anything like this. I don't trust them. They are angry and out of control. I hope this bastard goes to prison.

10. Obviously, Zimmerman should be convicted. Why the effort towards thread hijacking?

It is a leadership problem.

13. We have devolved
into a uniform worshiping police state. There's something really wrong going on in this country. This kind of thing is being reported regularly.
Do most people fee more secure or threatened when they see the police? And police get paid well to break the law with impunity. |

16. DON'T call the fucking cops!
They don't belong in your life. They're like vampires; don't invite them in.
If you have problems, or just worry about security, try to find some people in your neighborhood, your life, your family, who you can depend on, to come to your home to help you in an emergency. I have a group of them, and their numbers are saved in my phone. I NEVER CALL THE COPS! I don't want them on my property. |

21. I agree, but I take other means to defend myself and family.
There is an old book titled "Call 911 and Die."

22. We must learn that we have to depend on ourselves again.
This is not the same country that it used to be, and "public servants" don't serve us anymore. I am not a gun toting maniac; I don't even have a gun, but I think that neighbors and family can be very useful in times of crisis; especially if you have plans in place. We're going to have to come together as families and communities in order to survive the coming days, because it's getting to be an "us or them" scenario in this country. The corporatists would like to see all of us their slaves.
Is that a real book, or something you just made up? If it's a real book, I'd like to read it. Who is the author? |

23. I think it depends on who you are and where you live.
I live in a fairly rural bedroom community for Charlotte, NC. We are just outside the NC stateline. I am a white, middle class female. I can call the cops and be fairly secure that I will receive help.
But if I were black, Hispanic, poor, male, mentally handicapped or lived anywhere other than where I know many of the police, I would not call them if I needed help. And that is pretty frigging sad. |

18. Roid rage and terrible training / mindsets.
They'll flip out in an instant and shoot anything (usually innocent people) because they aren't trained effectively.

19. that is exactly what I was wondering. Are many of these guys doing steroids to bulk up & thus gettin
roid rage. How can you train someone effectively if they are irrational due to steroid use?
