OT...Greenville Police Officer killed...

Sick and tired of turning on the news only to find out ANOTHER police officer has been killed in the line of duty. This time it was one of our own here in Greenville. I have close connections to the police department and this guy was universally loved by all in the department.
Now allow me to vent.......when the he** is enough enough? Evidently these officers pulled over a vehicle on I85 and during to stop the people in the vehicle decided to fight the officers and took off. They crashed into another vehicle amd somehow the officer was killed (maybe run over??).
So sick of BS like this. We wont hear a dang thing about this from politicians, athletes, actors/actresses, etc bc it doesnt fit their narrative. Officers all over our country are getting injured, shot at, killed, etc and people who have "a voice" choose to remain silent.
Its a sad state of affairs right now. God speed officer....

Sounds like the officer was hit by a car from the reports I've read. May he rest in peace.

He was killed at a wreck scene. Are you disappointed? Did your "close connections to the police department" mislead you somehow?

How did my close connections mislead me?
Yes, he did at a wreck scene AFTER the PD pulled a car over and the people inside decided it would be best to fight with the officers and try to drive off. Why not give the officers their 10-15 minutes and if you have nothing to hide then you can drive away freely. Agree??

Probably because somebody in the car had a warrant, was without a driver's license, a suspended license, or possibly had some drugs.

what is WRONG with you. An honorable man was killed trying to do his job as the end result of some lawless lowlifes not following police instructions. (as usual) Does that not fit your narrative ?

You run from us you get popped, period.
This isnt the first time; officers have been killed since law has incurred.
Enough is enough my friend, but identifying the enemy is not easy.
So... Putting my policy in today. Rin from us and get popped. Murder charge, probation volation, parking ticket? All are equal when they run

Teach them better! If they are drunk and running from an officer they are a threat to any and everyone on the road. I have lost family to drunk teenagers doing stupid crap, whatever it takes to stop them is OK with me. So same rules apply run from the LAW you are taking a chance with your life.

How about this

you and your buddy coronamav1 quit your jobs, go apply to whatever law enforcement agency you want to work for, do your training at the academy, get your credentials and hit the streets...
We'll see how long you last on the job with your own agenda in action... I can promise, you'll end up as a headline as well...

agrees, sounds like a $h!+bird that cosplays as a pretend cop in his wrecked Vic.
Most of the LEO I have worked with would never make that comment. Only the idiots eventually washing out would even think of saying that online too....

When the drunk"person" kills your kids, wife or you for that matter are you gonna feel good and tell them it's all gonna be OK? But that isn't really the point here, if you teach your kids better then they probably won't make decisions that put their lives and other peoples lives at risk. My kid shouldn't die because your kid is stupid. It really is pretty simple. The law is there for a reason, the officers are there to enforce the law, are some bad apples absolutely, but they are the vast minority and they will weed themselves out eventually once they plow through the good ol boy system that for some reason seems to have a hold in every business, agency, or any thing else. It amazes me that so many can read something and totally get the gist all wrong. Accidents happen, I have had a few, never drunk though, never on drugs, always attempted to do the right thing not because I was above anyone but because I was taught to respect others and actions have consequences. It is astounding that espousing someone to do the right thing riles up so many! It should be common sense.

You know....even good people screw up at times and make a bad decision and ends up costly. Good to know though that you walk on water like Jesus and never make mistakes and never got drunk or did drugs - you were just an angel (and may still be). But my guess is, most do make mistakes. But to say if you walk away or run from a cop that you should be shot is ludicrous. God help us if that's what they are teaching at the police academy.
RIP to this officer - but do we know the facts.....do we know they intentionally tried to hit him (that lead to his death). As an officer, you go into that job knowing death is a real possibility. Same in military. My hats are off to all of them. I couldn't do it. Prayers for his wife and daughter. These senseless deaths have occurred for generations and will continue to do so because we are an imperfect race that makes mistakes nonstop.

You espoused shooting someone in the back, justified or not, because running away from LEOs is worthy of a bullet in the back... you took your point far beyond doing the right thing by espousing that an LEO do the wrong thing...

Easy. Running FROM an officer of the law is completely
Oct 21, 2020, 10:30 AM
[ in reply to Where do you draw the line on that? How about ] |

different than running TOWARD one, where the officer worries about being attacked. May sound harsh, but in that situation, I say the officer is perfectly warranted in shooting first, and letting God sort them out. Now, if at all possible, that shot could be with a Taser instead of a bullet, but, as these policeman are literally putting their lives on the line in these situations, whatever force is at their disposal should be employed.
As another poster said, teach your children respect for law officers, and these situations will not develop nearly as frequently.

How about we teach children to respect other human beings
Oct 21, 2020, 10:43 AM
|
|
first, then it won't matter what the other human being is wearing or how they look or behave...
we better realize that the issues with children are the adults raising them in an environment that leads to so much disrespect... I certainly teach mine that I better not ever get word that they are being disrespectful of others, BUT, they are in no way obligated to suffer disrespect either...

OMG, voice of reason!!! How many people would be shot or killed by cops if they just followed instructions. Sometimes it would suck if you are innocent, but if you survived, no one got injured and spent a night im jail? So be it, but you are not dead and a good cop isn't comprised!!?
Most bad people deserve their charges and most good cops dont get into trouble. But what most dont understand, there were over $370k cops but I think number is around $277k now. Less than .1% of population in US. Yep, cops are the problem as they flood our streets.

And to add to your point.........assuming your numbers are correct regarding the number of police officers.
That is about a 25% decline in officers. What will that decline look like over the next 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
Many of us here have young kids who will be entering the workforce in the near future. Do you want your kid subjected to this crap while making about $35k to start? What will our law enforcement look like in the future. You think it is bad now..................

People are the real problem no matter their station in life

Ego typically drives everything about decisions that impact our lives negatively. the most recent percentage of persons incarcerated in the US is around 0.7%. So, the bad guys are so small that the good guys could quell them with literally no effort, but the good guys too often fail to raise bad guys to be good guys... There are bad guys in EVERY station in life; doctors, lawyers, CEOs, firefighters, police officers, sanitation, construction, education, religion, etc.
No profession is free of bad guys and we would do much better to not put people, professions, titles and such on pedestals because the human ego has a hard time not getting puffed up. Police are no better than a janitor when it all gets down the basic essence of life, respect HUMAN life, period and we all will be much better for it...

Extend a LEO (Law enforcement officer) the same courtesy as your IRS agent. Polite but not trusting. Respect is earned later. Just because a LEO asks something does not make it a requirement, although you might need to comply with consultation of your lawyer. Know ones rights before mouthing off.

I was busted at a few parties. Every time you just go home. The kids who ended up in tne drunk tank were the ones who ran and got caught cause the were drunk and couldn't run very well....or the kids that gave attitude.. again cause they were drunk and stupid.

Being a police officer is not supposed to be easy. There is an enormous amount of situational awareness and judgement they have to use. We couldn't possibly have a policy like you're describing, Captain Keyboard Warrior. Imagine your wife getting popped while getting a simple speeding ticket, just because her foot slipped off the brake pedal, or the cop didn't like that she was driving to a safe space before pulling over. She would be equal to a drug-dealing rapist then, right? That's exactly what you said. What if your son or grandson went along with a friend's dumb idea and threw rocks at cars or something, then ran when the cops showed up? He may as well be a murderer, according to you. Sure would be a sad story on the evening news. Would you still be so foolishly gung-ho then?
The police need more funding and more training so we neither see your stupid dystopian future, cops killed at traffic stops, nor cops shooting unarmed people who may be resisting arrest over a petty crime.

I have to disagree here. Maybe the foot doesn't slip off, but a person that's just been pulled over can be stressed about getting a ticket, busy searching for their registration, insurance card, and pulling out their licence and can easily forget that they haven't put the car into park yet before taking their foot off of the brake.

No.. 1st thing you do is put your car in park
Oct 21, 2020, 10:49 AM

And they tell you to turn it off.
Then they approach the car with clear instructions ... don't do anything.
You keep putting the accountability on the police.. where Is the accountability from my wife?
After reading this post I am going to send this simple list to my wife and kids.
A. Don't speed
B. Don't reach all over the place when u get pulled over.
C. Be polite.answer the questions.
D. If you have a warrant for your arrest...go to jail. Your resistance to answer for YOUR crimes could get you killed...no problem that is your decision....but it can also get some 1 else killed. ..not cool.
E. plead your case in court.
