We're the Only Ones Not Ready for Our Close-Up Enough
A 25-foot buffer? So if you illegally confront me or someone I'm with or near, and I turn my recorder on, you can bust me for it? And use an escalating continuum of force up to lethal and have it officially justified...? [More]
Dufus Ron Pinkston even got the Tueller Drill distance wrong - it is 7 yards (21 feet) not 31 feet. Though, I'm surprised he did not say 51 feet. There is a simple reason why cops do not want their activities to be recorded, and that reason was revealed a few weeks ago in North Charleston. Had it not been for that recording, we'd be hearing the usual platitudes about "all department procedures and policies were followed." There IS a crisis in police-'commoner' relations in this country, and it was not created by we 'commmoners.'

ReplyDeleteSir, The chief specifically stated that anyone involved, regardless of distance, should have a right to video record the encounter.
