Psychocops! They are everywhere, not just in Pima County. It's a massive failure in officer selection, training and supervision. Officer Friendly is gone, pushed out because he saw himself as serving the community and didn't have his ego wrapped up in his badge and uniform, eg, he lacked the Warrior Mentality. Avoid all contact with law enforcement; they're not particularly interested in helping you with your problem and things can go very wrong even during a casual encounter with a LEO. Obey the traffic laws so they don't have an excuse to pull you over. And never call them for help with a domestic situation - family members undergoing a mental health crisis have been shot dead by responding officers. That's my 2c.
PS - Cops like this one have learned that the Warrior Attitude works best on unarmed, unresisting and if possible, disabled victims such as the one in the story.

ReplyDeleteHa! Didn't notice.
ReplyDeleteSo - How many such incidents have been "buried, "lost," erased, etc.?
ReplyDeleteAny dealings with the police are to be avoided.

I guess PSCO just wanted to get a leg up on the suspect.
