Reply:It almost looked like the guy landed the punch on the male cop, but I assume there would have been a lot more excitement in the video if that were the case.

Reply:Anyone else notice the female cop threw her tazer on the ground?  Bet they don't teach that in the police academy.

Reply:Originally Posted by docwelderprobably the smartest thing she's done since leaving the academy cause the next scene in that clip could've shown the naked guy tazing both cops with one shot to make that cluster fu@k complete!

Reply:Epic!
Reply:Originally Posted by hddnisI can't think of anything in that video that justifies throwing away the taser.
Reply:Originally Posted by hddnisThat is a big no-no, you don't lose control of a weapon. I'm a LE defensive tactics and firearms instructor and I can't think of anything in that video that justifies throwing away the taser. In fact she should have tased him, she had a clear law violation, suspect not following verbal commands and attempting to flee, light him up already and save everyone from potential injury.:
Reply:It was poorly done on her part and her partners part, it looked like amateur hour. It was classic trying all the moves they learned in academy and failing to control a suspect. They are really lucky there were a few guys around that knew a thing or two about fighting.Mr. HEright around the two minute something mark, I was waiting for a nightstick whack to the back of the legs.It took way to long to get him down.
Reply:If she had been properly trained, or if she had followed her training she could have used the Taser for a contact delivery.  Pull off the cartridge, and press it to the target, pull the trigger and five seconds of lightning.  Frankly.  I thought there should be been more dialog.   The suspect wasn't armed, wasn't resisting, other than noncompliance with verbal commands.  The LE verbal commands were pretty weak.  I'm not sure the suspect understood what was being said or what they wanted.  The two cops did not have a plan and did not work together.  Almost like the male officer was ignoring the female.Just glad no one was hurt.Lincoln Precision TIG 185.Flex-Loc 150 torch.Super-Flex hose.Lincoln MIG 180.Victor Oxy/Act torch set.DeWalt Bandsaw with SWAG stand
Reply:Reminds me of my Ukrainian Father-in-Law.  He was walking down the sidewalk when he came upon a young Mountie alone trying to make this intoxicated native get in the back seat of the police car.  The young Mounties says to my Father-in-Law:  "Excuse me sir could help me?"  Old Bill responded as soon as requested.  He gave the drunk a couple of shots to the face and the drunk was more than willing to get in the patrol car.  " Thank you Sir." says the Mountie and Bill continues on his way with a big smile on his face.

Reply:Originally Posted by SuperArcDude, you try dealing with someone like that. How many fights/altercations have you been in similar to the one in the video?  Easy for you to critique and second guess what they have to go through when you yourself have never walked in their (police) shoes.  Second, some departments don't allow "contact delivery" as you suggested.   Any more suggestions there tough guy?  Don't even get me started.
Reply:super arc, due to the location of my work i have been in many, many fights over the years. some against edp's with weapons. i would never claim to have won all but i at least give them the opportunity to first pose a threat before acting.Last edited by docwelder; 02-20-2014 at 03:21 PM.i.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla

Reply:Originally Posted by WenValleySuperarc.I retired after 33 years of law enforcement with a state wide agency.  Walked the talk everyday.  We carried Taser's, and I was directly involved in way too many of these types of altercations.  And I'm not a tough guy, I would go the extra distance to not go hands on with civilians.  It's way too easy to get hurt.  The older I got, the slower I healed.  Where I worked having a second officer was an unusual luxury, so maybe that's why I talked more and tazed less.  I've never heard of an agency that didn't allow the contact delivery option, but with hundreds of agencies now issuing these devices, no doubt that may be the case, but it generally it's something that's trained.

Reply:Originally Posted by SuperArcExcellent point.  The other thing is that females are terrible in fights when up against a stronger male.  Basically, it was a struggle between the male officer vs. that Neanderthal.  The female officer as just....there.   It was nice to see those other guys step in and help.
Reply:Originally Posted by docweldersuper; i beg to differ. in my time with the doc i know females who could be sparring partner's for floyd mayweather and have seen a smaller female use her knuckle game on larger, stronger opponents. these females may not get the first shot in but they sure get the last.
Reply:super arc,  there are a few women here that need no back up from any man. just telling what i see.Last edited by docwelder; 02-24-2014 at 04:50 AM.i.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla

Reply:Originally Posted by BurpeeSuspect ?  Where do you meatheads come up with this terminology ? The retard is standing naked in a parking lot and it's on video ? Aint much alleged suspicion there.......
Reply:And this is why I couldn't be a cop. I would have just beat the shlt out of him and smashed his face on the concrete till he let me put the cuffs on him right out of the gate with no questions asked. The guy was high and naked so forget reason. In some circumstances the best way to solve a problem is to get rid of the problem immediately. Look at the big picture. A high naked man walking around and don't speak English in the middle of the day. How was this gonna turn out good. It wasn't! But that's why I'm a welder and not a cop. And after work I don't have to be reasonable with idiots! Works for me, plus we make more money! I hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

Reply:Still  I would have to agree with Mike. I couldnt be a Cop for very long either. For one thing if I have a gun and the guy is running away from me. I'll be damned if I am chasing him on foot. If you cant fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem."Boy, everyone starts with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience.
