That is the real story imo. To get anyone that wants to help keep order in their community to think twice about that decision. My son since he was 9 wanted to be a LEO. With all he has seen in the last year alone he has changed his tune. I keep trying to push him to still do what he wants to do but have been suggesting fish and wildlife instead. Much harder to get into though.
You are correct, except here in MN if you are white they want to see your license and harass you, even when you are fishing with your kid in your own backyard and only catching and releasing everything, but if you are a minority you can go to a lake and take 800 fish in coolers stacked up, have no license, be using stolen equipment, and they never bother you at all.
Some departments do have tuition assistance of he hasn't already gone to college. I think you need a degree for fed jobs or military. if it turns out being a cop isn't what he wants he can always leave or try to transfer into fish and wildlife from a police department. Being police would be good for his resume for fed jobs. There are days I hate it but I don't want to do anything else. My department blows and that's why I'm trying to transfer asap. I'm just like your kid except I wanted to be one well before I was 9 we need more people like him to join not less. If either of you have an questions I'd be happy to answer whatever I can. You are more than welcome to message me.
Thanks for the input. He is only 15 so has some time to figure it out. I met a Fish and Wildlife officer while at work and had a good discussion with him. His route was military, degree then had to wait a couple years for the pool to open up. His suggestion was forgo the military and go to school for the degree 4 yr and be prepared to wait a couple to a few years to be hired. Also said he has to deal with not so fun individuals and of course most are armed in his field but that most of his interactions were great.
Actually, the neck restraint could have also been used to control the subject, while keeping them conscious according to the Minneapolis Use of Force document:
Conscious Neck Restraint: The subject is placed in a neck restraint with intent to control, and not to render the subject unconscious, by only applying light to moderate pressure. (04/16/12)
And you know who decides if neck restraints are authorized? It ain’t the the officers on the beat. It’s the mayor, chief of Police and the city council.
Some speculation that the divorce is a play to protect assets. They have a lot of stolen money in multiple properties that she's trying to claim in the divorce. Would be a good way to keep those assets from being taken in lawsuits
It isn't uncommon for spouses to divorce their significant other when high profile cases like this happen. You know BLM would target his family she could have done it to distance herself for her own protection. I'm not saying that is definitely what happened maybe this was the final straw no way for us to know but I suspect she did it for her own safety. If she did I can't blame her and he would have known.
Absolutely are good ones, not this bullshit you see on tv. Retired one I know says if he popped you for a dui and you werent a dickhead he'd have his partner drive your car to your house while you road in the back of his cop car and no charges.
Unfortunately those days are long long gone. If I did that I'd risk some law suits or suspension/firing. Other departments might be able to do it but I absolutely can't. Body cams take away any discretion but also I have a strong hatred for DUIs so I'm not letting anyone go for that but I mean for other arrestable offenses. Our DA let's everyone walk anyway so getting arrested means pretty much nothing anymore
I'm wondering if he ingested a lethal dose of illegal drugs when the police approached him. He might have panicked if he was going to get caught with illegal substances (parole violation). This would explain his panicked behavior.
Honestly people who do get claustrophobic or anxious and aren't high as fuck usually calm down when the window is open. When people start freaking out I tell them I can roll the window down for you and they are usually happy with that much. High people that's a different story
After sitting in his own car, he faked a claustrophobia attack to not get in the cop car... Props to the officers for remaining so calm.

I hope one day we raise a statue for Officer Chauvin and all the pain he had to go through just so that the Dems could push their agenda.

She may have been advised to divorce him for her own financial protection. That sometimes happens.

The sad reality is that this will discourage good cops while encouraging bad ones.

That shit stopped happening in the 80s. You get pulled over drunk you are getting locked up unless it’s a small town.
Don't think you'd feel that was a good cop if next week the same guy drove drunk and killed a family.

The cops are the real victims here. This tape shows that they didn’t break any policies or laws.
George Floyd broke the law. That doesn’t mean he should have died, but sadly, his poor decisions led to his death.
Cops should have charges dropped immediately. Then call in all the cops into the city to immediately stop the riot that comes from that.
This. He had 4x lethal dose of fentanyl among other things... which causes death by heart & respiratory failure/asphyxia.
Fentanyl is their reverse opium war
3x
OMG! did they bury him alive?

Drugs are defined as “mood altering” substances.
He didn’t deserve to die, but his poor life choices led to a not entirely unexpected end to his life.
But see, this gets to the root of your politics.
Liberals will argue that if a man claims that he’s claustrophobic and afraid of the police, you shouldn’t arrest him, even if he commits a crime.
Conservatives would argue that if you don’t want to get arrested you shouldn’t commit a crime.
Minneapolis is currently seeing the effects of the liberal argument, and it’s not pretty.
the cops treated him with decency and bartered and offered to open the window for him!!!!!
