[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the cops doing differently to handle this now?[/quote]

Based on one recent case, they’re releasing without charges a man who had an illegal gun and who resisted arrest and assaulted those officers, making no effort to apprehend others who assaulted the officers with a chair, a bottle and a trash can, and talking about firing the officers and prosecuting them for using minimal force to effect the arrest of the violent, dangerous, armed, resisting man with the illegal gun.

So, worse than nothing. [/quote]

The cops punched a restrained suspect in the face.  That is never ok.  Protect and Serve.

Also, solve cases, use the legal system, and punish those that commit violent crime.  It's possible to do both. This is a peacetime city, these are not military they are cops.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you brought up the military. Believe me, the military operate under tight rules of combat and deploy with teams of lawyers to pre-scrutinize their every move.

However, are we a peacetime city?  The violence is out of control, Is it our priority to get guns off the street, or is it to get cops off the street? Seems like our record is better with the latter.[/quote]
