The “vaunted” men in blue commonly called police officers have come to believe they are the law and above the law. The system seems to support it, and the sheeple seem to blithely accept it.
Video from McKinney, Texas, a bedroom community outside of Dallas, shows how out of control LEOs (legally entitled to oppress) have become, and how they escalate encounters rather than diffuse them.
The as yet unidentified officer — and his compatriots in blue — can be heard barking conflicting orders and screaming profanities at the teenagers. As one of the teenagers at the event told reporters, “They (police) were trying to make us leave, but if we ran, they’d chase after us, and if we stayed, then they’d arrest us.”
One bikini-clad girl who did not “comply” quick enough, was thrown to the ground, dragged across cement and into the grass where the “brave” officer tried to drive her face into the turf. When some of her friends came to her aid, the officer pulled his gun and brandished it, causing some to run away. Two officers took off in pursuit while the original officer returned to abusing the girl. She was handcuffed and left facedown in the grass, where she screamed and moaned.
This shoot-first-ask-question-later mindset among LEOs today is what led to the death of Dillon Taylor, an unarmed man in Salt Lake City, Utah, two days after Michael Brown was shot in Ferguson, Missouri.
Taylor and two friends walked out of a 7-Eleven where officer Bron Cruz was waiting after a 911 call about possible gang activity came to the station. Cruz’s body camera shows Taylor walking away from Cruz and failing to obey commands to halt. After a number of steps, Taylor turns around but continues walking backwards. Cruz then shoots him twice.
After shooting him, Cruz handcuffs the limp man and begins searching him for a weapon, waiting more than two minutes to begin administering first aid as Taylor pours blood out in the parking lot.
Taylor was unarmed, drunk (press reports say his blood alcohol level was .18) and not making a threatening gesture nor committing a crime when he was shot, other than not immediately complying with an officer barking irrationally at him.
The Salt Lake County District Attorney ruled Taylor’s shooting justified. Cruz had reason to believe Taylor had a gun shoved down his pants, he said.
Police say they have suspended the officer involved in the McKinney incident pending a review. His actions were such that if one of us “regular people” had carried our any one of them — cursing at the crowd, abusing a girl, brandishing a weapon — we would have been incarcerated.
History has shown that officers rarely suffer any consequence for their behavior because of “qualified immunity.” Likely, the system will determine the girl, and someone in the crowd, possibly, maybe, could have had gun concealed… somewhere. So his actions will be ruled “justified.”
The “law and order crowd” will shrug their collective shoulders and say, “They had it coming to them. They should have just immediately complied.”
They should thank their lucky stars they didn’t end up like Taylor. That seems to be what the officer is telling two youths at the end of the video.
