What is going on with the Minneapolis police???

[Lastamender]

I think the situation is a little different here. Our police get killed by activists with no agenda other than anarchy.

The majority are just on domestic dispute calls.

I'd like to see some stats on that. You realize you are saying that police are killed responding to domestic violence calls, right?

Yes.

Domestic disturbance calls: Always dangerous and sometimes deadly

. Since 1855, when New Haven, Connecticut Night Watchman Thomas Cummins became the first officer ever to be killed on a domestic disturbance call, 546 other officers in the United States have suffered the same tragic fate.

From your source. That is not a majority of police officers killed since 1855. In other words, your first statement was and is a fantasy.

The FBI, in its most recent report on officer slayings, said that disturbance calls accounted "for more line-of-duty deaths than any other circumstance," even outpacing arrests gone awry, or encounters with robbery, burglary and drug suspects combined.

Domestic Call Is the Deadliest of All for Police : Crime: Officer's slaying a grim reminder that home disturbances account for majority of on-duty deaths.

1994? Some things have changed, like the millennium, since that was written. Something more recent would be nice.

Clearly you have a reason to not want to believe the truth.

You have no shown me yet. I need to see something newer, now that everyday is more dangerous for the police.

Gun culture. Just about every week a cop
Is gunned down. Puts them on edge and so they gun down others. Doesn't happen in other civilized countries.

The other "civilized" countries of which you speak also have FAR HIGHER rates of violent crime. How is that possible?

This time cops shoots family dogs

which was not aggressive

(watch the cop skip out )



luckily the family had video surveillance

because ya know the Minneapolis police do not operate theirs

Unlike the far left cop hating progressives here, I will wait for all the information to come out. There were at least two Pit Bulls in the back yard. One is enough to kill an individual. They will rip anyone or another animal to shreds.

Pit Bulls are the most dangerous breed of any, by far. They are also very territorial. If I were confronting a situation which was in flux, and there is an unrestrained Pit Bull, it's dead.

I saw that last night. Those Staffies were family dogs but also therapy dogs. Unfortunately the statistics I read at the Daily Mail is that on average US police kill 25 to 39 pet dogs a day.

that is a big number

MPLS Chief just threw Somali officer under the bus

First off. That was in Duluth (I believe). Not Minneapolis. Secondly,What do you expect from a state that wants absolute control over EVERYTHING? It's crazy, the only places more liberal/Socialist are New York and California. Massachusetts is right up there too, as is Illinois (especially Chicago).

Minnesota has really gone down hill

certainly not the place i grew up

from the footage that does not look to be the case

 

[Desperado]

It's not Minneapolis.

All across the country, cops are shooting first and questioning later.

What an absolute BS excuse!!!!
If cops are so on edge now they should not be cops in the first place.

why don't you go invade an akitas turf and tell me how that goes. it's not the breed it's how they are raised. my akita was as gentle as could be around people he knew and guarded around those he didn't. be aggressive to him or his family you're in for a bad day.

those dogs did nothing to warrant fear much less being shot. if the officer was in the right for what he did why jump over a gate and run away?

As I said, "I believe". I could be wrong.
It is pretty normal for outside police agencies to investigate police action. I admit, it would be unusual for it to not rise to the state or county level though.
It would appear as though my information was incorrect though. So, I stand corrected. My apologies.

Unfortunately a lot of them do it for no better reason than they can. And with few exceptions the dogs they shoot are the same dogs who aren't shot by mailmen, meter readers, FedEx and UPS deliverers, etc. Just cops -- and in many instances just because they have guns and want to kill something with them.

I have absolutely no problem with a cop shooting a dog when it is genuinely necessary for self defense. But in far too many of the examples I've read about, and some I've seen in YouTube videos, it's just cold-blooded, wanton killing of someone's pet.

There was an incident in the small New Jersey bedroom community I lived in some years back in which a town cop investigating a noise complaint was menaced by my neighbor's German shepherd. The cop fired two shots from his .38 revolver into the grass a few feet in front of the dog. That stopped the dog who backed off and the cop was able to leave without further issue. My neighbor was told to post a warning sign on his fence gate, which he did.

That incident involved one of the nine cops on that tiny town's police force. As such each of those cops were more accountable (especially around Christmastime) to the town's individual homeowners and taxpayers who knew them all. But in larger communities there is no such personal connection -- or concern.

Generally, there is a big difference in the fundamentals of today's police training compared with that of past decades. I recall that New York City's police officers back in the 60s and beyond were not permitted to draw their guns unless there was an immediate necessity, and when a NYC cop did use his gun there had to be a definite and unavoidable reason ("I thought he was reaching for his waistband," etc.), wasn't good enough. But back then the cops carried "nightsticks" on all shifts, which in most situations precluded the need to use the gun. A nightstick is also a very effective defense against an aggressive dog.

They are Staffordshire Terriers. Not Pit Bulls.
