re: 'Bad police work' in Alton Sterling's death, but don't expect a conviction ...

So, can you tell us how much more back-up would have been appropriate?

-Would one additional have been enough or would he just look on?
-Would two additional be enough? Would they have been allowed to have drawn guns while two/three wrestled him down?
-Would four additional be enough? Would this have created an even more threatening situation that would have freaked the drugged-out person to freak-out?

You are the expert as so many are, what's the proper course.

The Advocate has 100% lost any semblance of journalistic integrity and, just as bad IMO, there were multiple typos in the story online. It was obviously a feature piece and not some two paragraphs they threw together on the laptop for the website. How do you not proof read and correct typos. It's just plain sad what passes for news these days.

Journalism, Oh my Oh my what a field to be in today.

Several also questioned why officers fired stun guns and tackled Sterling, moves that potentially put the policemen in far greater danger and left them with no ability to safely retreat.


I said literally exactly this for days after this happened, and I got crushed by 90% of the posters in those threads, just crushed.

Because 5 "experts" who also admit to not having enough evidence agree with you?

cool


I think this sums things up nicely.

Actually, when it comes to policing, they only want black cops who live in black neighborhoods to provide protection. And those black cops shouldn't arrest anyone because it makes statistics racist.

True story that happened just a few days ago.

I was in Dixie (off alliquipa) trying to help out an elderly lady that was moving in with some friends because her house flooded off Evangeline. I was only there because I used to know her son back in my wilder days before he OD'd and wanted to help her out as she asked for assistance with a truck.

Well, about a half hour in to me being there, they had 2 younger dudes arguing. A lot of people were outside because they thought they would start fighting and clearly weren't working. I thought it was just bullshite, so I stayed inside to keep moving her things. But nope, wasn't bullshite, one guy supposedly went to his yard to retrieve a gun and starts shooting while the other guy was running away (I guess he suspected this when ole boy went to his yard so he got a head start).

Anyways, I don't believe anyone got hurt, but when the cops came around after someone called them and they asked what was going on, everyone said they just heard some shots and didn't know or see anyone involved. Which, even though I'm not around there, I know that's bullshite.

So, knowing the community didn't want to help catch an attempted murderer, the 2 black cops they sent, shook their heads in disbelief and left. I believe they tried to make a few blocks but they didn't find anything.

fricking crazy shite. Fortunately, I stayed inside and didn't get involved, but my point is, they don't even want black cops to help.
