For ANYONE to make any sort of judgement, based upon that article alone, are not only ignorant, but border line stupid. That article says absolutely nothing; zip, zilch, notta.
How about respect for citizens and calm negotiating skills. I believe mismanagement by "tough" law enforcement officials often needlessly escalate mundane situations to "life threatening". I truly believe training needs to be re-visited.
As a "big" guy I hope you use force judiciously, not maliciously.
Of course. I actually got out of law enforcement because I was sick of the way policing is done now in this country. I'm staunchly libertarian, and I could not personally reconcile locking people up for violating laws I vehemently disagreed with.
I also did not enjoy using force, and did it only when forced to. The major upside of being my size is I'm pretty damn intimidating, so most people never even tried fighting

Too bad, it sounds like your exactly the type of police officer we do need today.
hmm, cops responding to a 911 call, and some teenager approaches the cops looking angry and agitated, and was ordered to back off. yeah sounds like disrespect for the cops rather than the other way around.
there are times i wont back cops, but this isnt one of them. the citizens of this country have lost all respect for law enforcement, and it started happening many years ago, in the late 50s actually, and has only gotten worse. i have met many cops across the country, and with a couple of exceptions, they have ALL been quite professional.
Let us not forget that this was CAMPUS police. Not taking anything away from them but I don't know if they receive the same kind of training that municipal and state officers get.

In California, to be a police officer, you must be certified by the state. So all police receive the same initial training, what occurs after that is probably less predictable.
Dumb me stupid question i know. I have a couple of stun guen with over million watts, are you going to tell me if i use it on someone, they run the risk of maybe dying. I did not think that stun guns could kill a person, keep them down, but not kill you am i stupid to think this way.

Not to be crude, An agitated student was told by a cop responding to a 911 call, to back off and didn't do so. I think restraint was shown, what did you want the cop to do, mace the kid and beat him with a nightstick?
