The point is :

Everybody makes choices. People should own up and take responsibility for your dumb action.  Yes dumb is a strong word put it fits the bill. 

I get so tired when people blame the police for stupid actions of other people.

Police carry guns, tazers, pepper spray, and various other tools of the trade for a reason.......To take care of a problem.  Lets put Xena on speed dial and give them a call when the crackhead, drunk, mental cases are threating the safety of others.

Thank you the law enforcement officers who at, our request, keep the poor excuses for humanity in check.

That is not what windiabbie said.   

Everybody throws a little tantrum when an officer does what that are paid to do.  A certain population feels that somebody's rights were violated because somebody violated a law.  Mr Campbell simply had to come out as commanded and let the officers investigate why somebody called the police.

It is not rocket science or higher math.

Kendra just had to sit in the car and try not to drive the car away. 

 James Jahar Perez would be still around if he sat in the car and answered any questions the officers asked.

As I said before the only people who fear police are doing something that is wrong.

I am thankful for the officers who pack heat and tazer's to keep the people who are not smart enough to not do meth, drink excessively, drive erratic, point guns at family member, peddle drugs and the whole list of no-no's that our society had deemed unacceptable.

It is a simple IQ test and some people just can not figure it out. 

Here is a little tip for the day:  If a officers ask to talk to you stop and talk, answer questions and try not to make the newspaper or evening news.  There is a lot of people who have interactions with police officers that do not get shot by simply cooperating. 

I think Darwin was correct...........

The only people who have to fear the police are the people are breaking the law which if you recall is illegal.  

Think about it.......

I have had many encounters with law enforcement and I have never been bean bagged, shot or beat up.  

Thank you, the men and women of law enforcement, for keeping our society with some sense of order.

Why are we having this discussion?

A thug/criminal has been reported to the police for erratic suicidal behavior in front of children and the police respond.

Nobody placed that bottle of alcohol to his lips.  Nobody placed the gun to his head.  

People close to poor Aaron Campbell called the police to take care of a problem.......

Why is the media crucifying the police for doing the job which we pay them to do.

I have a deep respect for law enforcement.  Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen in public service.

If you do not like speeding tickets.......don't speed.  Thank you Highway Patrol

Live and learn ..... don't drink, don't drink and play with guns,  if an officer (which we have hired to take care of problem) ask you to do something......do it.  My pappy taught me to do that when I was really young.   

I love hearing the comments like "there was a communication break down with the police" Have you ever been in a emergency situation?  Damn right there is a communication problem.  It is the nature of the emergency situation.  The police are not in a office situation reading from movie script.

Don't drink, don't do drugs, don't play with guns when under the influence and take responsibility for your own actions and quit trying to blame the police for your lack of common sense.

Every one of those officers have the same desire to go home at night unharmed.  

Ronald Frashour has enough to think about and I do not feel that he should be chastised for do his job.

Thanks Ronald

Now we are going to spends thousands and maybe millions of dollars trying to justify a poor  decision made by Aaron Campbell?

Cant we spend the money on feeding the poor or health care for the young?
