NAVY SEAL WHO MURDERED GREEN BERET LOGAN MELGAR IS SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS

[SteyrAUG]

I have no doubt plenty of parents and members of the community would have thought it worth the personal risk to their own lives to go in. I suspect Deputy Peterson would have come out of cowering to engage that non threat target scenario though.

There is another thread on this, but an unarmed school employee who was with Peterson outside when the shooting started DID go in while Peterson remained outside. Probably don't want to get started on that subject.

Not sure I'd trade my life for a bunch of high school kids...BUT I'd probably do something really stupid like RISK my life trying to save a bunch of high school kids...even if it wasn't my job. If nobody was there yet and nobody was doing anything and I was carrying...yeah I'd probably go in even with all the dangerous / bad idea components associated with that decision.

Not sure if I'd actually go on a shooter hunt or not, but I'd definitely try and evac as many kids out my local exit as possible. Would really suck to be in that situation because lockdown protocols would make rescue really challenging.

Is this the "HPD officers under indictment" story? That's the first and most frequent search hit for "HPD officers under indictment", but "HPD officers under indictment" is the only detail that matches what you described vs. any article featuring "HPD officers under indictment".

Cops looking the other way for crooked cops is the EXACT reason we have so many bad cops. They need to be held to a higher standard. That thin blue line is bs, and a big part of the reason cops dont hold the same respect they did 30 years ago.

Agreed on the first part. However, police corruption was much more widespread in years past; it was almost accepted as normal. While police corruption obviously still exists and always will, the problem these days, is the opposite of corruption: Cops are more elitist and many treat themselves as morally superior to the average citizen. They seem to have less empathy both with citizens and each other. That's where the rift is today. Many just don't listen or care about people's problems and treat the people they police with disdain.

I love the “oh hold on, we will investigate ourselves, with our own officers and we will find we did nothing wrong”.

Waco, Burns, Ruby ridge, and however many other instances where they couldn’t just leave people alone and had to go in guns blazing, then get away with it after they investigate themselves.

Yes they have a us vs them attitude. My uncle was a cop, and we got into it on Thanksgiving many moons ago. He didn’t think citizens should own ar15s. I in no uncertain terms told him I didn’t care what he thought, the founding fathers didn’t either and he was wrong that shall not be infringed means exactly that and that he was violating his sworn oath to protect and defend the constitution. Now that he’s retired for close to a decade, got screwed over by his department he’s started to come around.

If you want to see morally elite, ca is a perfect example. The reason they got all the gun restrictions passed with regards to ars etc, was because the cops get to keep theirs while John Q doesnt.

They deserve respect, only after they earn it. Most don’t care to earn it though and think they deserve it.

My rambling might be a like un cohesive as I’m down a few Jamison and 7s.
