re: Players departing

This is some boot licking, authority loving, boomer shite if I ever saw it. Jesus. Their job is to protect and serve, not satisfy your blood lust.




From ESPN:

"He's going through what we would call his progression of force, and they exercised extreme patience

And I applaud them for that. I don't want some trained soldiers roaming the streets beating the shite out of people with zero repercussions. Their job is to protect and serve, and in THIS case, no one needed protection except maybe Harris himself, so if they can get him help without force, that's what they should do. I hope Harris gets the help he needs.

EDIT: Like others are saying, the cop also could have done a better job trying to de-escalate the situation. The grappling bit wasn't a smart move. I'm just glad they kept their cool, and we didn't see another unnecessary death.
