Circular logic

I am a retired LEO. I was trained never to point a weapon unless I was justified legally to employ deadly force.
The justification for the use of deadly force was to protect myself or others from danger and to stop the commission of a capitol crime

You are right. I give them too much credit

The stupidity of these people. The novel's theme is the moral decadence and social decay of that era. Fitzgerald wrote the novel in 1925 and four years later the stock market crashed and it all came tumbling down.

Boy, that is spot on true

I am a retired L.EO. Came of age during the era of community policing. This is goon tactics, not police work.

What is it with arming these guys with assault weapons. I'm a retired police officer and only carried a sidearm on the street during my 27 year career. Thankfully I never needed to use it but it was sufficient for patrol work. I am glad this gentleman has filed suit for damages

I am not giving up. This is my country also. I refuse to bend a knee to anyone especially that criminal. It's time to vote in New Jersey and I can't wait to cast my ballot.

This is an example of inadequate training. There is no justification for throwing that woman to the ground. People who experience this treatment hopefully are pursuing assault claims and civil actions

Everything with this guy is money.

I must say I really admire your courage and dedication to journalism and the truth. To be honest I never heard of you until I started listening to Scott Galloway. Thank you

Yes. I worked in law enforcement for almost thirty years. Our training taught us to remain calm and under control in life threatening situations. This is hardly that. He is being asked to answer questions to duly elected officials who are responsible for oversight.

Sounds awesome

The other question that comes to mind is the following: if a person detained under the suspicion of being undocumented (which I believe is not a criminal act in itself) will any evidence seized be admissible in court or will it be suppressed. The Supreme Court made no comments which is infuriating

This one really threw me for a loop. Retired Police Officer here. The Supreme Court essentially allows racial profiling as a pretext for a stop. It was drilled into our heads in training that we needed to have a reasonable articulable suspension to stop and detain. Terry v. Ohio does not count

Well written article.

He is completely coming apart at the seams. They are exposing him as the crackpot he is.

He is coming across as crazy

I am so tired of "The Swamp" as a figure of speech.

Thank you Mayor Wu

I may be completely wrong, but the fact Vance is talking about gives me pause. I believe he is a power hungry egotist who is perfectly capable of throwing Trump under the bus so he can waltz into the White House.
