The saga of the acts of the colossal douche bag redneck truck thief are illuminating. Note that what details seem to be most in demand are the race of the cop and the suspect, and the fate of the police dog. As soon as some asshole that attacks three cops is shot local law enforcement has to leap into damage control. I count cops as my enemy. But, the way cops are being forced to behave when faced with lethal violence, leaves one in grave doubt as to the ability of future cops to deal with a real determined killer.
Note that virtually all questions are asked by female reporters. It is no wonder that the media has such a mommy complex concerning criminals.
“There is no such thing as an unarmed encounter with a law enforcement officer,” is the most rational and obvious statement made on the subject of criminal police interaction, and went completely over the head of the media. The fact that the media and advocacy groups expect armed police to wrestle with violent men, with no thought that this means putting a gun in the hands of a violent person, is truly astounding.
I wonder if the Moscow Police Department gives press conferences of such a feminist nature.
