Still not seeing a problem?

[roadmaster]

I watched a Youtube guy stalked by a swatter. Just about every time he would go live he was detained. What were the cops suppose to do ignore that he may have a bomb, or planned to shoot up a place. People doing this are dangerous and it's not a game.

Not to downplay the deplorable actions of that swatter, but is there no requirement to corroborate these kinds of calls?

You cant corroborate 911 calls, you respond to them, ALL OF THEM thats Police mandate and when you respond you respond with the appropriate amount of forces and force necessary to contain they situation you are confronting. Police dont mobilize to lose they mobolize to solve the problem. Life isnt perfect, nothing always goes perfectly, situations arise.

911 is for people in trouble or who witness a crime, it is a plea for HELP, police respond as swiftly as possible. Police never know what they are riding into, never

The police officer who shot Finch did not face charges.
"What gives the cops the right to open fire?" the victim's mother, Lisa Finch, said in January. "That cop murdered my son over a false report."

Cop apologists never, ever see any problem with cops shooting innocent people. They always have an excuse, usually in the form of whining about how supposedly difficult a cop's job is. I say, if not shooting innocent people is too difficult for these cops, then they need to find a different job. I wonder, why is that never considered a valid option for the many incompetents who join police forces? Why do their apologists always act like being a cop is some sacred right?

What I see is your lack of knowledge about police procedures and you taking an incident on the surface and ignoring all other facts. Apparently you are clouded by a dislike or hatred for Police.

A man called in a serious crime in progress at a location, serious enough for the swat team to be ordered in. There is a major heigtened sense of urgency by police and adrenaline is moving. They are expecting the worst, saying its unfortunate they young man died doesnt seem powerful enough but I dont know how to put into words to make it sound as it should.

Because the unarmed man was shot does not mean Police murdered him nor does it mean they did something wrong WHEN YOU TAKE ALL THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES into consideration. The person that murdered that young man is the young man that was charged with swatting. If investigations determined than an officer or officers did something wrong or criminal during the course of that shooting, they would be charged without hesitation.

Yup, just as I expected.

Not killing innocent people is simply too difficult for the incompetents known as "police officers" in America.

Tell me, what's the point of letting someone become a police officer if they are not capable of making correct decisions in high stress situations?

And the last time I checked, nobody is forced to become a police officer in this country. It almost seems like people VOLUNTEER to become police officers. In fact, I'm pretty sure these volunteers are even PAID in exchange for their SERVICE. Given that, I'm not sure why you or anyone else thinks that the stresses inherent to police work is somehow a valid excuse for blowing away an innocent man.

Cop haters mostly have elusions of superior intellect and deep knowledge about something they know absolutely nothing about, and some of those individuals have that trait about every subject and everything and that just says it all you cant discuss anything with them its an emotional or mental flaw that makes them believe they are smarter than anyone else, they are best left to their own delusions of grandeur.

Outside of large cities, are police paid enough to attract the best candidates?

Key wording. False report. That’s why the police are not under fire.

The police are not under fire because incompetence in law enforcement is acceptable to many Americans.

Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.


Most Cops Just Above Normal The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average.
