It seems SFPD is backing off on this project.

That's hilarious! My lady says that all of the time.

San Francisco needs help. So much help!

Apparently our department just received VR gear for taser shoot/don't training, and it includes a "public portal"

Guess who gets to try to not shoot some bad guys soon

No, a flush.

Another great eye opener.

I've asked several cops over many years "where were you hiding", but they weren't very talkative on that subject.

Honestly, much of the time we hide in plain sight. I've sat at intersections in plain view and people commit violations right in front of me and exclaim, "I didn't see you!"

I happily write those citations because if a person isn't paying attention even while my Shamu is parked right in front of them (…sometimes with my overhead lights flashing), then they truly deserve the penalty.

That goes to show you what could happen to a police officer during a routine traffic stop.

Yep! We have a saying, "No traffic stop is ever routine"……and it's true. I treat every stop with the same care and/or caution because it can go sideways at any moment.

A lot of people don't realize that a police officer puts his life in danger every single day just doing his job. We just go about our daily lives in our own ways and then get pissed off when we get a ticket I haven't gotten a ticket in years (knock on wood )

I'm sure that after a few minutes of you talking to a person you can tell if that person is up to something or if you are not in danger?

Like committing the violation in front of you was the issue, not the violation itself!

It didn't happen if no one saw it.

For the most part, but people will surprise you. In general, however, someone who has something to hide will act suspect.

It demonstrates to me how little concern the person has.

My comment above was in regard to I'm sure how some of these people think if they're not seen. Like hiding in plain sight. Unbelievable what they think they can get away with.

Anyone see the news out of phoenix of the dude shooting at cops and the cops beat the crap out of him inside the QT?

[Tyga11]

Here's the video. Shoot at cops (or anyone) and you deserve to get your ass kicked. Our society is a joke

With all the people with cell phones recording everything that goes on in the world today, you can`t do that. The police officers should know better. But it`s easier said than done. They probably lost it and didn`t think what could happen to them later.

You take him in and then he falls down the stairs is the appropriate way to handle things today

Restraint is a volatile animal. After such an ordeal I can understand how/why they showed the suspect some love, but yes, we have to turn down the knob and bring the boil to a simmer or else we easily find ourselves being the target of the District Attorney’s proverbial bullets. This is a clown world now. All of those in my profession have to…..need to……constantly remind themselves of this new reality. Park under a tree, answer calls for service, and set your proactive tendencies to the side. It’s just not worth it anymore if you want any chance of making it to the end with your freedom, your faculties and your pension intact.
