no doubt regarding much of what you say but the problem is, and you exemplified it here, 'the use of force is far too quick and it's absolutely ok to play monday morning quarterback watching this. Tons a fantastic officers, tons of officers who belong behind bars or pumping gas, it's ok to say it. Just look at the kick to the neck by the other fat a$$hole blindsiding the guy. I KNOW THAT IS NOT IN YOUR TRAINING. Listen to their commentary about pos, motherfker, real professional and can be used against the officer in court, ask me how I know...lol. OH and to add to the complete Benny Hill spectacle, she shot the mother.! Both of these officers need to be let go. Very glad to see the push for the immunity clause to be reviewed by some states as maybe that will fix the fkery and clear the ranks of the $hit on the job.Im a LEO and although i try to never Monday morning quarterback anybody(because I wasn’t there and all that)i will say in my opinion her biggest mistake was letting him walk back in the house. She had the PC to arrest; so in my opinion i would have handled asap and on that front porch. When he went inside, more people come into play(mom and neighbor, who both were all up in the way)and all the obstacles such as furniture and tighter quarters. Not to mention you being in their home, they know where the guns/weapons are. I work in a rural county and most times i do this exact kind of thing by my self and with my nearest check in 15-20 minutes away. Most times being calm, cool, and collected but confident and assertive will end with a mostly easy arrest. But i approach everyone with the understanding that it can go wrong quick and that most people out there have intentions of doing me harm. I feel like this mindset keeps me from underestimating who i come in contact with and keeps me ready for violence of action so im not dicking around and fumbling around with someone.. when im alone, my best option is to overtake them and get the handcuffs on quickly... by reading some of the comments here i hope you guys know that this does not represent all LE. There are a lot level headed, down to earth, gun loving, God fearing, Constitution upholding guys in uniform.. Thats goes for Sheriffs as well. My Sheriff is like I previously described and quickly deemed us a 2nd amendment sanctuary county when he saw tyranny approaching.
Don't disagree with you that she should have handled it outside but once he went in, she should have called back up and tried to deescalate. I don't know what training and play you have in your jurisdiction but here, unless a life is in danger, she doesn't enter the house alone and the next move is for additional officers on the scene and handle it verbally as best you can before any use of force.
This guy is clearly mental impaired and should have been handled accordingly. Listen to his comments, 'does this make you feel good, does it make you feel powerful, I'll bet that is reminiscent of his sexual abuse. On top of that the mother says he's been drinking.
The taxpayer loses here, I'll bet they have to pay the impending lawsuit.
Just a sad event all around.
