Thought Police?

Those running in line to sue the police are probably the same people that would say "The police should've done something to prevent this...all they ever do is pull people over for speeding" once the guy goes all active shooter on his workplace.


I actually am beginning to find it comical how fast everyone jumps on the litigation bandwagon without knowing details of what is actually going on (as opposed to just media reports).

I have yet to work a case where the media actually relays and understands the details of an incident in which I have first hand knowledge.

I agree with you concerning the media. They could mess up a steel ball with a powder puff.

However they took this man into “protective custody”, he had to submit to a “physiological evaluation”, the police did not file any charges. If he had broken any laws (made threats etc.) the police would have charged him. The fact they did not charge him speaks for itself.

Now I ask you, exactly how far do you think the police should be allowed to go to prevent someone from going “all active shooter on his workplace”? Should they be allowed to arrest anyone that is fired and force them to submit to a “physiological evaluation” even if they did not make any threats? Let’s say a former co-worker or supervisor calls the police and makes some ambiguous statement that they are uncomfortable but no threat was made (just to cause the guy trouble).

How many of our rights do we give up in order for the police to prevent a crime from happening?

Do you honestly think the police would stop this sort of thing without lawsuits?

If you do, then tell me there is no such thing as profiling of blacks and Hispanics in Texas. I like that one.

This is true. However, it's also true that they mess up the story in both directions. They're also much more prone to quote the police without questioning the official story.
