...call it a "justified distraction blow." [More]
We all buy that, don't we?
We talked about this the other day. There's a lot more to this story, including the online gang clothing business Mr. Placekicker owns. Hopefully I'll have time to write something on this tomorrow for my Gun Rights Examiner column.
Again, I can't help but think of this...

and people around me can't understand why I mistrust and despise police officers.
A distraction bullet to the head will be next. Wonder who will catch it.
So now all El Monte knows this shit is department policy, why would they not resist any approach by any officer with whatever means they could attain?
Or was it a try for "Tickle Me Elmo"?...Naaah. It was a vicious, unprovoked kick to the head.
one must wonder if the gang the arrestee was a member of will target this officer. Seems like the perfect provocation for a gang war.
there are individuals who would target that officer for elimination over the same circumstances. One has to wonder how many of those individuals belong to a criminal gang?
For most of our history a cop and his family were off limits even to the bad guys, at least the organized bad guys, as a matter of policy. One of the reasons for that "hands off" policy was that they expected to receive proper treatment within the rules if and/or when arrested. Now that the cops are breaking that unspoken covenant, what is to keep vengeance squads from making their own examples of violators?
Think about this. The cops have moved the average citizen to feeling of contempt for them and fear of them and many are now considering resistance to them. If the good law-abiding people are at this point, where would the actual gang criminal be? Why do the cops not see that they are writing their own death warrants?
Forget the fact that they are not honorable in the main, it would seem survival instinct would have some ameliorating effects on their illegal behavior.
A car chase endangers uninvolved citizens as well as the officers involved in the chase. The subject of the chase very often is driving a stolen vehicle and obviously isn't concerned about damage caused to the rightful owner's property or with the fact he is putting not only his own life in danger but also the lives and property of innocent people as well as the lives of the pursuing officers.
Once a chase comes to its conclusion and the fleeing person is apprehended the need for use of force is ended. Any force utilized against the suspect after he is caught is usually unnecessary and/or excessive.
Whatever violations the suspect commits before or during the chase will usually be negated by an officer who loses his self control and "thumps" an arrested suspect after the need for force has ended.
The criminal acts of the suspect will be plea-bargained away in exchange for a promise not to sue the city , the department, and the individual officers for violations of the suspect's constitutional rights by the idiot who takes it upon himself to administer street justice.
The poor fool who cannot, or will not, maintain his self control gives the suspect a free ride to try again.
I never thought I would find the police more loathesome than the gangs. They have achieved that, and more.
Are they trying to convince the public that the only reasonable response to seeing a cop is to kill it before it can strike?
How dare you mere mortals question the Poe-Leece?
DOn't you know the Cops are ALWAYS right?
Just submit, comply, and be passive...and everything should be fine.
"People (implying, mere mortals like you and me) go F*#@ing around with the law and all hell breaks loose!"
