Isn't part of being a cop picking your battles?


Unfortunately no. I wish I could decide when I wanted to deal with a crackhead and when I didnt. The officer gave the guy a lawful command. Should the officer back down from everybody that becomes confitational?

This is a lot less impressive to non-LEOs than it is to LEOs.

So the police just standing by as people are ransacking private businesses in a major city isn't an example of them picking their battles? You are so full of shite.

Are you telling me that an officer should deal with a jaywalker the same as a crackhead? Are you saying that there aren't degrees of offenses and they shouldn't be approached with degrees of escalation? Are you saying that the cop couldn't have done anything other than what he did to keep from escalating this (without even knowing what he did)?

If so, I truly hope you are no longer an officer of the law.
