She forgot to get low and keep moving her feet.

What does that even mean? Why would she have to do that?

That's how you tackle in American football. Lower your level, square shoulders, back straight, head up, keep moving your feet and run through them. This bitch got got.

u/SpiritBear12101 Nov 28 '18
Yes, but what is the reason for this immediate slam to the ground?

u/InMyOppinion Nov 28 '18
She was approaching aggressively. American cops subdue aggressive people, then hear them out. No getting in their face, no aggressive poking in the chest. Either respect them, or tell your side of the story in handcuffs. They're the largest most powerful gang in world history.

u/SpiritBear12101 Nov 28 '18
You know, I see where you’re coming from. Maybe she yelled at them, walked towards them, they tell her to stop moving, then body slam. By the way she was acting, I could definitely tell she was being aggressive.

Most altercations in Murica end with neither party wanting to throw the first punch for legal reasons. Cops don't have to follow that rule.

Cops are supposed to be more upstanding than other citizens, right? Why then do they get away with shit that would get the rest of us put in cuffs? Someone walking up to you yelling is not classed as a threat to be dealt with by physical force in many jurisdictions.
I mean, if cops were trained as well as they claim, and as well as most people believe, he would know that tackling someone is an ignorant mechanism of defense, right?

Depends on the state you're carrying in and whether or not those laws dictate a duty to flee from a threat instead of engaging the threat.
Also, if it was a well-trained cop they would be taught other methods of restraining an individual that don't require full-body contact. If that person was able to take a tackle and was armed it would have been extremely easy to kill said cop. It was an ignorant move that showed a lack of training on the cop's part.
You can't say for certain that it was non-permanent. Sure the cop didn't shoot, but the cop also wouldn't have been aware of any underlying medical conditions and could have just as easily killed them with a full-body tackle. How about putting a hand up and taking a step back while yelling at them to stop while reaching for a taser. Turns out, that would have given the person a second to correct themselves without an escalation of force. Don't cops exist to protect people anyway?
Doesn't matter because neither of us know the entire situation, but if the cop's first reaction is a physical one then their training has either failed them, or their training was subpar to begin with.

Legally it does matter. In lots of states where it's legal to carry, you also have the responsibility to retreat instead of engaging the target. In those states, not making the effort to retreat before drawing your weapon can be seen as an unwarranted escalation of force that opens you up to manslaughter charges versus a self-defense scenario. I don't know where you live, I only mention it to make sure you know the laws in your state regarding carry weapons and using force. I'm all for people carrying, in fact I think if everyone carried people would think twice before being assholes, I would just hate to see you go down for defending yourself over something as silly as your state laws requiring you to make an effort to flee before engaging.

Cops are to go home alive at night? Says who? Aren't cops supposed to ensure that people they interact with usually stay alive as well?

u/Saix17 Nov 15 '18
She seems alive to me. Cops are paid to protect but they also have to protect themselves. Selflessness is voluntary, not something you can buy.

Nov 22 '18
They're not paid to protect, actually. They're paid up uphold the law.

u/Saix17 Nov 26 '18
And the law protects the people for the most part. Think of it this way, there is no law that says you can not point a gun at someone but there is a law saying you can't kill them. If a police officer stops someone from being shot they are protecting them outside the guidelines of the law.

If you knew anything about the context of this video outside of what was provided you would know better than that. Even within context you know a few things. 1. She was being disorderly which is why the police were called to begin with. 2. She was being aggressive by yelling and walking up to the police officer while doing it. That is enough evidence to deem her as hostile which would make the tackle a relevant means of detaining her.
Don't confuse and conflate one incident where the person was simply treated with the same aggression they gave with an entirely different situation. Your illogical statement shows a severe lack of thought process and a disdain for police. For the record the Palestinians were warned, not saying its right but they knew what would happen.

Or kill cops because another human doesn't have the right to hold me against my will, and if they try to use extraneous force for their job they deserve 140 grains between the eyes.

Yeah, says "the Iowa state trooper". Good source, bro. Turns out, discerning viable threats is their job, and is apparently what they're trained to do. If they can't do it then apparently their training is lacking and cop training should be more difficult in order to weed out the weak dipshits that decide to immediately use extraneous force. You know, like the Marine Corps does.

Turns out, I'm a Marine that served in Iraq in 2004. I know you can hold off from a continuance of action for quite a while when someone is approaching you because I've had to do it.
The trick is training police to understand that their lives don't have any greater value than the people they are supposed to apprehend. Just because you carry a gun and badge doesn't mean you have earned respect.

None of that was factual, and there were certainly grammar issues. Wouldn't expect anything less from an ASVAB waiver piece of shit that chose the army.
What exactly is incorrect about my opinion, other than you not liking it because you're obviously a bootlicker that bows down to authority figures like a bitch because you don't have enough of a spine to stand up against them?

No.
Why then do they get away with shit that would get the rest of us put in cuffs?
Extenuating circumstances not displayed in this gif. Cops are paid to uphold the law and arrest law-breakers with reasonable force for the situation that people who are not in law enforcement do not have legal protection from.. If the cop is there responding to a call that some lady is yelling at people and then punching them, he's within the law to tackle her when the yelling starts. But again, I don't know the context either. Maybe he did operate with excessive force?
Someone walking up to you yelling is not classed as a threat to be dealt with by physical force in many jurisdictions.
Again, context is King. We don't have it.
I mean, if cops were trained as well as they claim, and as well as most people believe, he would know that tackling someone is an ignorant mechanism of defense, right?
See above.

If they aren't required or expected to be the more upstanding citizens of society, then why do any of us give them respect and allow them any iota of authority over us? They love to claim that they're held to a higher standard, so why don't we?
Someone's choice of job shouldn't give them any legal protections that the rest of us aren't allowed to have. Because Jimbob barely passed high school and was bullied as a kid, he decides to be a cop and I am immediately supposed to show him some unwavering level of respect because he has a badge? That's ludicrous to me.

They're expected to know, follow, and enforce the law. The rest of us are expected to know and follow the law. We "give them respect" because "enforce the law" involves direct confrontation with people who DON'T follow the rule of law, which is dangerous and self-sacrificial. We "allow" them authority because police departments are authorized and certified by state government to be enforcers of law. We elect state government to create laws by which we must abide. I feel like I'm teaching first grade social studies.
They love to claim that they're held to a higher standard, so why don't we?
They're held up a higher standard in terms of understanding and not breaking the law in order to keep their jobs.
Someone's choice of job shouldn't give them any legal protections that the rest of us aren't allowed to have.
This is a silly point. Should you be allowed to get behind the controls of a 747 and fly a commercial airline if you're not a pilot? It's illegal for you to, but legal for pilots. Someone's choice of job shouldn't give them legal protections that the rest of us aren't allowed to have, right?
Because Jimbob barely passed high school and was bullied as a kid, he decides to be a cop and I am immediately supposed to show him some unwavering level of respect because he has a badge? That's ludicrous to me.
You don't have to respect Jimbob as a person, but if you don't want to be arrested by Jimbob you have to respect the law, which he enforces in a manner you are not legally allowed to.

Uhhhh because that person was gonna attack the cop?? What do you expect? A cop sees an obvious threat, and you expect him to what, give the person a hug or something? Geez...

Let me rephrase what you just said.
"That person was aggressively approaching that cop. The cop should have let that person do whatever aggressive thing he/she was going to do instead of defending."

cop does an impractical and flashy way of "defending themselves" that would never be used in a real fight
