Can someone explain how police should handle people resisting arrest?

[MVP]

Are you sure you can handle those thighs ?

That is two examples. Dont you think that is generalizing the police as a whole? Thats well under 1 percent of police interactions even if you include every single video you can find.



That goes for both sides. It not a one way street.




How do you know his right hand was no where near his gun? You cant see his right hand in any video while he is on the ground. His gun was in his right pocket which you cannot see either. Why would you say you can see his hands when you clearly cannot?





But we are only supposed to believe the story of the girlfriend. Thats the what we are being told by the BLM side .Thats why I brought up the possiblity of lying. The court system is saying let it play out and we will see what a jury thinks. Insetad the cop is guilty already in the eyes of BLM. Why is that?




Tell that to the hundreds of white people shot and killed every year by cops.





Again, how can you generalize? There are bad cops. Just like there good black people and bad black people. You would protest generalizing all black people would you not?





Do you know what they call a country without police? No country at all.




I agree that the police could tone it down some. But I think people are crazy to think that we will find a place where there are no cops killing people. At least not until technology improves to a point where people can be subdued without guns needed. Im actually pretty sure thats where we will get with this someday. But for now, there are going to be these things happening. Its unavoidable. There is always going to be bad people who will do anything neccessary to avoid arrest. And there will always be some bad police officers. It is what it is. They just have to be weeded out until technology improves. I dont think any legislation or special training will solve it all. It could help a little, but not much. You just cant enforce the law by asking pretty please. Thats not how the real world works. I think this is going to go on for quite some time sadly.

Give it a rest mate. We have video an audio evidence the police warned him not to go for his gun before taking action. The officer is innocent as he clearly followed the chain of escalation rules.
These cop haters do not care for facts. They have been tainted by the race baiters like Al Sharpton an Jesse Jackson.
We have become a society of race baiters. Even [MENTION=3213]Cunning Linguist[/MENTION] has succumbed

Hack, in Grays case medical investigation found that Gray had sustained the injuries while in transport as he was not secured with seat belt... Plus he was beaten with batons by few of those cops arresting him. I think it is quite different from bikini officer situation. I have hard time imagining anybody breaking 3 neck vertebrae, injuring larynx and severing spinal cord at the neck while putting knee in the back.

Well, it looks like there are two possible reactions to "resisting" arrest! One is the "Rodney King" reaction which was "slapping knots on your head faster than you can rub them!" or "I'm very sorry to have upset you and please let me be the first to apologize for having to stop you in the first place for doing nothing out of the ordinary!"

Are you ****ing kidding?

Option 3: Be trained in tactics to take down and subdue the person with less than lethal force, do it like a professional making the person look foolish for messing around with a proud officer of the law and take the person into custody so that they may face the professionals who prosecute suspected criminals according to our agreed upon criminal code of justice, affording them full and complete due process of law. Acting all like an advanced, intelligent, civilized society that handles it's business with integrity and ruthless diligence.

Something tells me you had a lot do with her opinion shifting

Reasoning is never as effective as emotion in changing opinions.

A guy who is not supposed to be carrying a gun and knows he is going to jail for a long time if he is arrested.

Then he draws his gun much sooner.

Maybe she just hates cops, and is pissed they just shot her boyfriend. Thats a reason to lie isnt it?

Anything is possible, but if you have to invent something, that means she still had no reason to lie that you know of.

I dont know of any statistics related to how much time police give each race before they shoot. Where did you get that information?

I've read it in many places; it's part of my background knowledge. Here's alink with some of the studies.

Every level, but not every interaction.

What's your acceptable percentage?

Can culture change? I think they can.

The military managed it, over considerable time.

Because you have to have a police force that enforces the law. Otherwise there is no such things as laws. Its relevant.

So, you think the only way laws get enforced is to have a de facto police state?

This part especially boggles the mind.

Justice Department officials were on a ride-along with Baltimore officers. It didn't seem to matter.
A sergeant instructed a cop to stop a group of young African-American men on a street corner, question them, and order them to disperse.
The officer protested that he had no valid reason for the stop.
The sergeant replied, "Then make something up."

To answer your question you take the resisting person down with non lethal force. If a cop is scared he might get killed then he should be a cop.
If he sees a weapon pointed at him he may shoot. Not if he thinks the person is "reaching for something". Its pretty clear to me. People that
resist arrest are assholes, but they dont deserve to be killed.

I respect all the good police officers out there. My grandfather was one. LAPD, and a damn good one. Great man.

It's a tough job, but you have to be up to it. You can't kill someone because you are scared. You use whatever means necessary to
stop them without killing them.

Apparently some areas are starting to require Driver's Ed training to include instruction/practice on how to handle a traffic stop. That should be a mandatory part of the program, and part of the test you take to renew your license.

It should also be required in Health or Consumer Ed courses - not sure about other areas, but both of those are required high school courses in Illinois.
