Craft a UN style sanction letter threatening further letters.
I was always pro-cop, majored in CJ for awhile, looked at becoming a cop, even talked to Matt about, but the integrity that is on par with a used car salesman at the end of the sales month causes one to really assess the actions of these clowns.
Matt,
You do know if you, every so often, came out and said, without qualifiers, that "Damn. That officer was in the wrong. I hope justice is done." No differing responsibility onto anyone else, no "but...' statements. Straight up admitting it was wrong, you may help foster a change of seeing officers as "us versus them"
He isn't interested in that. He is interested in trolling. Unfortunately he sucks at it. Granted he has gotten better lately since Eric has ruthlessly beaten him about the head face and neck.

And what is this "talking down"? So it's acceptable for Brent, Eric, Alan, Henry et al to do it but not me? Don't you see the double standard?
This is another perfect example of you people not being able to separate my professional life from my online life.
I don't see it as them talking down but more or so pointing out the retards. You hide behind your badge and think you're so much better than the normal folk. That badge means shit when you continue to act like a total moron on here. You're just another LEO with the billy bad ass syndrome.
Why the fuck am I even responding to this nonsense?!?!
I thought you said "we" as in you were included...
Here:
So, what is your definition of "we"?
Officers have to pay for damaged/lost equipment if that's what the chain of command dictates.
We. Military. Service members.
Article 139 claims arc limited to damage, loss, or destruction of real or personal property.
The property damage, loss, or destruction must be caused by acts of military members that involve riotous or willful conduct, or demonstrate such a reckless and wanton disregard for the property rights of other persons that willful damage or destruction is implied. Only damage that is directly caused by the conduct will be compensated.
A claim that a marine accidentally bumped into and broke a mirror in the course of a drunken brawl with a Navy SEAL would be cognizable. Even though the marine did not specifically intend to break the mirror and you could characterize the act as simple negligence, the marine's conduct was riotous and damage resulted from it.
Please explain how I directly defended the actions of these officers.
I, just as usual, provided logical and legal explanation(s) of what could have happened and the process involved.
Never did I say that they were 100% right, or that there was no other way to do what they did except for the way they did it. Matter of fact, I said that it could have been done better, but what choice are you given when you come face to face with someone carrying a gun? It will be more than likely that this case will go to a Grand Jury for either an indictment or a No Bill.
But, again as usual, misinterpretations abound and people jump to conclusions without knowing what they are talking about.
I'm jumping to conclusions? Here I took the liberty of putting most of your on topic posts below. How the fuck can most of these be interpreted as anything but defending them? You didn't provide "logical" explanations to anything, you responded like a pompous ass with a hard on for your brothers in blue.
I guess you sidestepped your way around saying they did it 100% right, but you sure as fuck made it clear that the victim did it 100% wrong.
So I'll rephrase the question, would your replies be any different if the victim had been a member of your family?
"When we knocked on the door, the door opened and the occupant of that apartment was pointing a gun at deputies and that's when we opened fire and killed him," Lt. John Herrell said.
What, no apology for blasting me as "genius" when you were in the wrong???
I'm not surprised......
There isn't a curfew for knock and talks, or investigations, or the serving of warrants, etc.... If they had a warrant, they wouldn't bother with knocking.
Visual cues are much faster than verbal. There should be no need to explain this.
If you can't see who is at the door and you open it anyway, then that's on you. People should be smarter than that.
So you are implying that both parties already had guns drawn and pointed? I guess the cops were quicker on the trigger?
As an agent of the city, everyone knows where the deep pockets are.
There is no disputing that this went horribly wrong, and I wished that things like this did not happen. There is no easy fix, or there would be one in place.
This is the only place where you kind of admitted they might have fucked up. Kudos
According to the info given, the police followed him to a complex where he ditched his motorcycle. They start a search going from apartment to apartment and someone answers the door with a drawn gun. I'm so sure that you would let someone shoot at you, but that's OK.
If the police didn't get an answer, they would have gone to the next one. If they weren't in hot pursuit, they could not have just kicked in a door. The fact that they went to an apartment that the pursued wasn't in tells me that they had lost him.
You really need to learn how these things work before you start spouting off. It makes you look worse than you already do.
Nope, because I didn't shoot anyone's property. Just shot people. Though I did think I was getting a statement of charges for the damage to my NVG's. When was the last time cops worried about anything they broke?
I thought you said "we" as in you were included...
Hell, I wasn't even allowed to do those things in Iraq. Anytime our weapon fired we had to pay some family, if we destroyed a door, we had to pay to build it better. If we opened fire in a house, we paid the family. Cops? Do what they want.
So, what is your definition of "we"?
Officers have to pay for damaged/lost equipment if that's what the chain of command dictates.
