Seen that video yesterday. What stellar parenting.
B- for effort
True, and I likely put more effort into that than his department will put in disciplining him.
that's why laws were just passed that you can't be within 8 feet of police using video cameras simply b/c it's a form of confrontation and invading personal space
This.
ahh...the future youth being taught well by another set of "parents" and i use that term extremely loosely.
Sad reality is that because of this (lack of) parenting, he’ll be very very lucky to just end up in jail, and not killed by someone on the street or the police.

What the feck? Why even pull your gun out there?

I doubt that's why it was passed. Given the current political environment in America, I imagine it was passed to prevent someone recording police abusing their power.
Agreed. How long till we see cops walking up to and saying “within 8 feet, you’re under arrest” to stop filming.
100% it was this. Silly to think otherwise.
Andrenaline seems to be the party line.
Perfect example that they have no proper training at all. They are not fit to carry guns, period.
A direct throwback to my previous point while I was using British SFOs as an example. If a cop can't be trained long or well enough, or if a cop can't pass regular and thorough evaluations for fitness of service, carrying a gun in service should be out of the question.

They all could have been carrying so sounds justified.
So they thought he had a gun so just went wild and unloaded at him, shooting 5 bystanders in the process.
I mean for feck sake.
On an unrelated note I had the best burrito of my life in LoDo.
I'll be there in 2 weeks. What restaurant (I'll be in and out before the late night shenanigans happen)?
There was no way of knowing, so they had to use appropriate force.
Illegal Pete’s, on 16th.
Have you been to Denver before? If not make sure you check out Terminal Bar at Union Station, the Old Fashioneds and Manhattan’s in there are superb, and also the Cruise Room (think that’s the name) at the Oxford Hotel.
If you’re after a fancier dining option, Guard & Grace was incredible.
For breakfast Snooze or Sam’s No.3 are both great.
How in the world can you shoot at 5 bystanders? That was just abysmal, and it's a miracle that no one has been killed. Regardless, those guys do not deserve to be anywhere near back on the job with guns any time soon.
Probably in the background of the suspect.
Thanks. I used to live in Denver (lived in Colorado from 1990-2001) but it's changed so much I hardly recognize it.
Police on those cities live on extreme stress because they get shot and killed all the time, they could have more police but that would be against the defunct agenda. I live in US for more than 30 years, I look Spanish but I'm Portuguese, stopped by police several times because I was speeding, stop sign, etc. Never harassed by them and by the time they arrive on my window I have my documents in my hand, speak with them respectfully and even if in the beginning they are a bit "aggressive" they change the tune, 2 times I forgot my wallet - driver's license and wasn't a problem I gave my name they checked on the computer if the car/truck was stolen and they let me go without a ticket. I was younger back them now I'm almost 60 and only got a ticket this year for passing a red light (was yellow to red) but I didn't make any issue and got the ticket. That's the problem with a lot of people, they screw up on the road and they get mad when police stop them, people need to be responsible for their acts.
Irony is truly dead.
Oh dear.
No disrespect, but this is not an absolution to the fact that the motto "To protect and serve" is supposed to mean something when a police officer is trained and signs the contract for the job.
I have been mentioning about the part several times in this thread, but I will double down every single time. Using a gun in service requires high levels of both mental and physical fitness because there is just not much of a way back if a mistake is made. And attaining high standards demand extensive training first and foremost. If a police officer can no longer meet such high standards, then going in service with a gun is a no-no for the same reason why the masses mostly want to keep guns away from unstable people. Besides, the way police budget is wasted in buying military-standard weaponry instead of revamping training processes is like building a 5-star hotel on quicksand.
Until the day when the USA begin to apply high standards seen in the likes of a number of European countries and Japan for training and service performance despite smaller budgets, no one should expect more confidence in police anytime soon.

Protect and Serve....nah, just let her die. They really are pointless.
But, as we were just informed, people bring it upon themselves.
She should have complied and answered her phone. It's her fault she could not get away from her attacked to pick it up.
Apparently had a gun, but damn…
They obviously feared for their lives as he ran in the opposite direction from them.
That’s murder, plain and simple.

They were there to investigate illegal gambling, they had no cause to shoot someone fleeing. I recently read about when police in the US are allowed to use lethal force and this incident is clearly not one of those circumstances. I would go as far as call this a crime commited by the police.
Yeh that is just clear murder
fecking murderers, the lot of them.
People still wonder why 'only' black lives matter.
