White man reaches for Dayton cop's Taser. Still alive. |
Uh, something, something....something, something, just ain't right!
We're back in Dayton, Ohio. My hometown.
Yeah, I am sick of this community. This community of 140,000 folks is a part of the Rust Belt. This area went to a Republican after 35 years swinging to the Democrats. This community went through a whole lot of shit in the Trump years but nothing amounts to a destructive tornado and a mass shooting. The Dayton Police had been praised by Trump for handling the white terrorist who killed nine in the Oregon District.
Despite this, the Dayton Police still operate on two different fronts.
A Dayton Police officer had to detain a man after he reached for his Taser. This happened at the Premier Health Partners Miami Valley Hospital.
This 30-year old is accused of taking a Taser during a struggle with the cop. Police were called on Saturday to check on man who was mentally ill. He was acting foolish at a McDonald's.
The suspect was taken to the hospital.
Ohio man who flees police shot and killed. |
Kind of makes me angry that a cop could allow his guard down for a mentally ill white man.
This suspect is facing criminal charges. The charges include reaching for police officer's Taser, robbery, felonious assault, menacing and intent of bodily injury.
Some of the charges are felonies. The charges could put this suspect into the iron college for up to 10 years.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. At least, his ass is still alive.
Yet, a Black man fleeing from the cops is accused of reaching for a Taser and the cop had "no choice" but to use deadly force. A cop who has less than three years under his belt. Dayton cop Cody Hartings is still in the freezer. The Ohio grand jury is determining whether the cop's use of deadly force was justified.
Tuck was fleeing the cop after they did a routine pullover for alleged tint violations. The occupants got out the vehicle and the cop chased Tuck. The cop claims that Tuck was posing a danger and he had no choice.
This month, the Dayton and Riverside Police were doing damage control after they allowed a white suspect steal a police cruiser. He stabbed his own father. Hit a police officer in the head, stole his cruiser and crashed into another cruiser as he flees. He would soon lead the police on a high speed chase and ended up crashing into a mini van. Two little girls were killed. The suspect was injured but wasn't killed by any police gunfire.
People should not ever live like this.
Cops don't have a cape or shield. They wear bulletproof vests. Yet, they have a 60% chance of going home after their shifts. The most dangerous call for a police officer is a domestic violence call. Then comes the routine pull-over. Then the active mass shooter. Then the elements (i.e. tornado, wildfire, and water rescue). Lastly, the wild or domestic animal on the loose is dangerous.
Cops have to be babysitters, therapists, bullies and enforcers. Some cops do their jobs by actively working in communities of color. Those are the good cops. The bad cops often post bullshit on social media, support white nationalist rhetoric, assume all people of color are acting suspiciously and make bogus claims to unlawfully search your car and home. They are the ones who make good cops' job a death sentence.
If the terrorist was Black, Hispanic, Muslim or an immigrant, you would expect Donald J. Trump to tweet something offensive and call for more restrictions.
EXPECT MORE COPS SHOOTING UNARMED OR LEGALLY ARMED PEOPLE OF COLOR.
EXPECT COPS TO WALK WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY USED DEADLY FORCE BECAUSE THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES.
EXPECT GOOD COPS TO BE KILLED BY TERRORISTS.
POLICE DEPARTMENTS CONTINUE TO ALLOW BAD COPS AND CORRUPT POLICE UNIONS TO REIGN STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM UPON PEOPLE OF COLOR.
POLICE KILLING PEOPLE OF COLOR IS STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM.
BEING A COP IS A THANKLESS JOB. THEY CONTINUE TO SERVE AND PROTECT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS JOB.
