Based on the press release, it sounds like they’re responding to calls coming into the police department from store owners losing out on profit when they’re arresting people in this area for these types of crimes.
This story is why I turned the channel last week when a NJ cop was killed
Yeah, we know you don’t and aren’t.
do me a favor and log out
Perfect example.
Not killed. Murdered.
and turn off your computer
whatever the reason I had no interest in hearing about it
You first.
I can’t get behind the general conclusions and prejudices of FBJJ but if you watch that video and think the cops acted reasonably, you really have low standards for how you expect your public servants to behave.
Maybe you didn’t realize this, but you need to be at least thirteen years old to post on this board. Come back when you’ve finished junior high school.
I thought I read some post about police not caring about crimes in low-income neighborhoods - you know, the type of neighborhoods where people sell loosies. I just looked it up - my mistake - they don’t care about crimes in the ghetto.
However, I agree with Blank Slate, arresting people for selling loosies seems a waste of time. Couldn’t they just issue a desk appearance ticket? But that probably isn’t the officer’s call to make, and when you have someone who seems to keep repeating the same ‘crime’ over and over, eventually you will have to arrest.
While a chokehold should never, ever be used, how do officers arrest this mountain of a man without placing themselves in harm’s way? You are right, Joey P, that if he dies after being tasered, it’s no different, other than it’s by-the-book.
Here’s what you said:
This is what you need to do. Take a breath. Don’t just post the first thing you feel. Stop and think about what you’re saying. Otherwise you’re going to keep getting called out like this on the inconsistencies of your posts.
It’s called “Arrest Quota”
why should I be sad a police officer was killed and never knew him?
Why should you be sad a loose cigarette seller was killed and never knew him?
It’s not him, it;s about being frustrated that cops continue to harrass people which this time led to death
“Short Attention Span”
Since you don’t care about people’s safety unless they want to go on a second date, why do you care?
Nice Ninja, Susan!
Actually, I think he does want that second date.
