Police taught a simple rule: ‘You don’t shoot a perp in his back’
Is it ever appropriate to shoot someone in the back? The stigma stems from a general code of honor (it’s seen as cowardly) or ethical principle of engagement. A noted exception: if the fleeing person poses a serious threat.
“In the police academy – and I’ve attended three – all of that could become a bit dense for most to take in, so we just simplified it and said, ‘You don’t shoot a perp in his back,’” says Dr. Turè, now a professor of criminal justice at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut.
It’s also become one of the most wrenching focal points in the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last Sunday. In the partial moments of the shooting captured by bystander videos, Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey, who has worked on the force for seven years, can be seen grabbing Mr. Blake’s shirt and shooting him in the back seven times, even as Mr. Blake’s three young children sat inside the car.

Quote:Rand Paul's history of being a liar and being obnoxious is well known. He is an even bigger asshole and dirtbag than his father, Ron Paul, the three times Presidential candidate from Texas. Whatever phoney story Rand Paul tells about being frightened of death by a mob, there is no reason to believe he was in danger. Paul is another Republican lying sack of shit raised up to the Senate.

It might be an opportune time to test out my proposal of sifting through the demonstrators and letting the locals go (except those who've been probably violent or destructive), and holding outsiders and those who can't prove their residence for 72 hours to see who really is the source of the violence.
But no one will.

Do you or SIG even watch CNN? I'm sorry, can't hear you. So you took one screen cap and try to suggest it represents all of their coverage? Yep, dumb as sh*t or lying as usual.

"They Would Have Killed Us" - Rand Paul Describes Attack By "Unhinged" Mob
During his first live interview since being confronted and assaulted outside the White House last night, Rand Paul, the senator who back in June introduced a bill that would end the kind of "no-knock" warrants that contributed to the murder of Breonna Taylor, described the "horrific" experience of being attacked alongside his wife.

Paul is no stranger to confrontation (remember the incident with his neighbor?) but he said he regretted his decision to try to walk back to his hotel. As Paul and his wife and friends walked, the crowd around them started getting bigger and bigger. They were shouting threats, but they were also shouting "say her name" in reference to Breonna Taylor.
"You couldn't reason with this mob, but I'm actually the author of a law to try and get rid of no knock raids. These people were unhinged. I'm not sure we would have made it."
At one point, the mob knocked down one of the officers guarding Paul and his wife. Asked about the types of threats, Paul said he heard members of the crowd bray about trying to kill him and his wife. If the police hadn't been there "we would not be here today, or we would be in a hospital today."
"I truly believe this with every fiber of my being, had they gotten at us they would have gotten us to the ground, we might not have been killed, might just have been injured by being kicked in the head, or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless," he explained.
Later in the interview, he said he feared the mob would have "killed us" if the police hadn't been there to stop them.
"They were inciting a riot and they would have killed us had the police not been there," he said, before profusely thanking the police who stepped up to protect him.
Toward the end of the interview, Paul said he believes the mob that attacked him was partly comprised of paid protesters who arrived in Washington DC from out of state, and were given money for their accommodations so they could come and protest.
"I believe there are going to be people who are involved with the attack on us that actually were paid to come here, are not from Washington, DC, and are sort of paid to be anarchists."
While Americans have a right to peaceably assemble, inciting a riot is a crime, and paid agitators deserve to be arrested, along with whoever is financing them.
"This is disturbing because really, if you're inciting a riot that's a crime, but if you're paying someone to incite a riot that person needs to go to jail as well."
"If you're paying someone to incite a riot, that person needs to go to jail as well. I like being free to be able to take a walk in the park...I don't hear Joe Biden saying anything about it...these are their voters."
Mobs like this are why politicians who are playing footsie with the crypto-communists calling for "de-funding" the police shouldn't be given the opportunity to lead.
"It's become so dangerous for us and I don't hear Joe Biden or Kamala Harris saying one thing about the violence. This mob is their voters. This is the new Democrat party, and if we don't resist this, the United States is going to become Portland. We're going to become Chicago. All of these failed cities Democrats have run, the president said in his speech," he said. "If we allow them to take over the White House,NOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
