Don't Jaywalk in Kali

[Brill]

When one has a hammer, only nails are seen. Despite what some may think, I am NOT anti-police but rather for using the brain before resorting to violence. We did both n OEF and we were more successful when we didn't kill or capture but recognized that it was also a useful tool in the box.

Unfortunately we can't replicate the perfect LEO. Too bad all law enforcement agencies in the US can't train applicants from the same template like the military.

I find it hard to believe that for 51k a year(or whatever his salary is), we cant find someone who can subdue a 16 year old.

My concern is not so much the scuffle, rather the fact that it happened at all. There is so much disrespect for those who enforce the rules, and our laws. If the LEO says, "use the crosswalk"; shut your mouth and use the crosswalk.

Absolutely agree. His non-compliance did not require BS charges and an arrest.

After viewing the video, and reading multiple accounts- both sides appear to be wrong. the kid and the cop both had attitude issues, and it turned out badly.
