re: Salamoni-Terminated; Lake Suspended- New Videos Released-WBRZ

No on the names but close enough.

Fair enough.

So you aren't the baw with the randy ol lady are you?

My apolgoes if you are. She was kind of hot

I'll ask you since Scoop won't respond to this. So you think if he would have complied from the very beginning and kept his hands on that car, so they could properly search for the reported firearm, that Salamoni still would have tackled and shot him?

You realize that Lake had already put his hands on Sterling's arm and Sterling was resisting right?

So no, I don't think that Salamoni grabbing Sterling escalated the situation. The situation was already escalated. Sterling had already made the decision he wasn't going in easy and they were going to have to force him to be arrested.

I'd like someone to explain to me, what Sterling did to de escalate the situation? What did Sterling do that makes anyone think he wasn't going to be required to be tackled and arrested against his will?

Because I didn't see Sterling do a single thing to de escalate.

Ok, I didn't see a Bodhi quote coming.

You have no idea what you are talking about. These officers responded to a call of a man armed with a gun who pulled it on someone. When they arrived , they observed the suspect and a large crowd around him. At that point they have two choices : 1) approach him and encounter him ; or 2) lay back and take cover. The problem with two is that it puts the crowd between LEO and the armed suspect. They make the correct decision to engage AS. They do so, initially , in a very polite and appropriate manner with Lake putting AS in empty hand escort position and polities asking hike to put his hands on the car. AS jerks his hand (remember the call is that he is armed ) out of soft empty hand and he won officers have another choice : 1) knowing that he did not comply to politeness and he is in a crowd to overwhelm him; or 2) back off knowing he is in a crowd. At this point it’s clearky a judgment call. I suggest that anyone who says that they should have backed off does so presuming that AS would have complied. The problem is that HE DID NOT comply when he had the initial chance to do so with both politeness and soft empty hand. Why would anyone think he would comply if they backed off further.

Exactly

Are you law enforcement?

Now it's obvious you're trolling. Michael's post was more thought out and accurate than anything I've read so far. And that's your response? He's nuts?

You need to call it a night.
