You seem to be implying that what one cop knows, they all know, even when they're scrambling around during a manhunt.  I don't think it works like that.

I kind of agree, though.  The police need to try less hard and not step on any toes.  More people might die, sure, but they're going to need to be less aggressive in this age of social media.  Be more polite, make double sure of everything before they act.  This guy here just won the lottery and it's going to keep happening.  Catching criminals is just going to have to take a backseat to being media safe.  I think that's going to be the future.

Are fucking serious? Are you seriously suggesting that this was an issue of hurting someones feelings or stepping on someones toes? I'm actually stunned. Stunned that we have a situation where the police posted a picture of a man calling him a suspect in the shooting of police officers to the public before checking with the officers in the field to see if he could be accounted for, and people are acting like they were just being impolite.

They implicated that an innocent man was involved in a very serious crime without taking the literal minutes it would have taken to call out over the radio to ask if any of the officers had seen or could account for a man matching his description.

Also, remember that they clearly called him a suspect. Which means that they directly stated that they believed he may have been involved in the crime.

Do you have to blow every fucking thing out of proportion?  Instead of calmly discussing what I said, you have to jump into fucking drama queen mode?  Bloody hell.  As for what I said, I'm absolutely serious.  People like you, who are always perfect and calm and flawless, even when your coworkers have just been murdered and there is a killer on the loose, will always be ready to attack people who are in the middle of hell on earth.

 

Seriously.  And you're sitting in judgement because they haven't fucking apologized yet?  You are the one stunned?

No, I don't want to be part of this thread any longer.  It makes me feel awful.  You want to criticize, go ahead.
