Hero Cops Set the Bar — Disarm Mentally Ill Marine Vet WITHOUT Killing Him

There are at least a half-dozen ways for a police officer to stop a knife-wielding subject, rather than employing lethal force with a firearm. All too often, however, as The Free Thought Project has faithfully reported, officers choose the latter, rather than attempt to resolve a knife encounter peacefully. That’s because they know all they have to say is “I was in fear for my life” and they will likely be exonerated for killing a knife-wielding suspect. Fortunately, the following story has a happy ending.

Miami-Dade police officers responded to a 911 call on November 15th. The mentally disturbed man was the one who actually called the emergency line and promised he would “hurt officers” upon their arrival. But fortunately, the two officers who arrived on the scene were not cowards, neither were they uneducated or untrained. The police officers pleaded with the man to put down the knife, even though he again threatened them if they tased him he would hurt them.

“Come on, buddy. Come on, don’t do this. I don’t want to hurt you, I don’t want to hurt you, put it down,” the officer said. The other officer on scene also warned the bystanders to clear out of the way just in case they were forced to shoot the man. “Cross fire! Get out of the way!” he yelled. “Listen dude, relax, relax, just come on, drop it,” the other patrolman said. “Listen to me. Come on, talk to me brother. Look at me,” he continued trying to make a connection with the man, who at one point identified himself as a “father.”

RIDE SEPTA FOR AN EXHILARATING EXPERIENCE

Riding public transportation in Philly is always fun. The liberal moron mayor says SEPTA is safe. They use taxpayer money to run advertising campaigns showing how wonderful it is to ride the rails. How about a commercial showing the reality of feral dogs robbing you, tasering you, and pushing you onto the tracks? This disintegrating, dangerous, bankrupt city is nothing but a bloated shitshow.

Investigators have received several tips in Sunday’s robbery of a man aboard the Market-Frankford Line who was later Tasered and tossed onto the tracks at the Millbourne station, a SEPTA official said Wednesday.

A video released by SEPTA shows a man and a woman snatching the victim’s bag while he was sleeping and then quickly leaving the train about 12:50 a.m. The victim awoke and chased the two onto the platform, where, after a brief struggle with the man, the woman Tasered the victim on the back. Then, she and her partner shoved him onto the tracks.

The disoriented man stumbled and tripped in the track area for several moments before climbing to safety. He used an emergency call box to signal for help. He was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

The bag was recovered on the street near the station. SEPTA officials suspect the pair dumped it after taking what they wanted.
Transit police have received several tips and have a few leads but no arrests have been made, SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams said.

Tased Motorist to CBP Agent: ‘What the Fuck Is Wrong With You?’

Would-be CBP agent gets the full CBP treatment at an internal checkpoint.

Jessica Cooke, a 21-year-old from Ogdensburg, New York, recently graduated from SUNY Canton with a degree in law enforcement leadership and had already applied for a job as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent when she was surprised by an impromptu final lesson at a CBP checkpoint on Route 37 in Waddington last week. What she learned—that people who insist on their constitutional rights in this setting run the risk of being roughed up and shot with a stun gun—should help make her a better CBP agent, although CBP may not see it that way.

Cooke was driving from Norfolk to her boyfriend’s house in Ogdensburg, the northern border of which is the St. Lawrence River. If you cross the river, you are in Canada, but Cooke was not crossing the river. She nevertheless became subject to the arbitrary orders of CBP agents by driving through one of the country’s many internal immigration checkpoints, which can be located anywhere within 100 miles of the border (a zone that includes two-thirds of the U.S. population). For some mysterious reason, she was instructed to pull into a secondary inspection area, where she used her cellphone to record a five-minute video of the stop (below).

After presenting her driver’s license, Cooke, who surely learned in college that police (and even CBP agents!) need “reasonable suspicion” to detain someone, asks why she was pulled over. “You guys have no reason to be holding me,” she says. A male agent who identifies himself as a supervisor has no explanation for the detention, but he says Cooke will have to wait for a drug-sniffing dog to inspect her car. “Well, they’d better be here soon, because if not, I’m calling 911, and this can all be figured out,” Cooke says. “You guys are holding me here against my will.” Eventually the female agent who first interacted with Cooke says she seemed nervous—an all-purpose excuse for detaining someone, since people tend to be nervous when confronted by armed government officials.
