The FACT remains that the cops went overboard by a wide margin based on what happened and what Tyreek did or did not do. If you disagree with that, wowzas you have some issues. |

This incident happened in our area on Sunday, when a gang of 30-40 dirt bike and ATV riders were terrorizing the streets of a small village. Two bikes collided, leaving a rider down in the road with serious injuries. The bikers chose to remain at the scene and harass the state troopers trying to render aid, kicking a patrol car and even stealing a trooper's hat.
Some of the bikers subsequently fled over a 2.5 mile long toll bridge into a neighboring county, and the hat thief apparently traveled from Connecticut to be part of this circus. Kudos to the NY State Police for rendering emergency care to the idiot rider under those hostile conditions..... https://midhudsonnews.com/2024/09/11...stetson-video/ .

I'm sure LE has training in de-escalation, at least I would think they do. But why do you feel that it is not right for them to match energy with like energy? Why must they de-escalate in your opinion? You've got a tinted car that is difficult to see through, a state that floridaorange mentioned you are legally allowed to carry (I have no idea whether you can or not though being a Canadian - and he didn't say Tyreek had a gun, just that he would be legally allowed to have one) - the cop doesn't know who has one and who doesn't every time they walk up on a tinted vehicle, so it seems reasonable to me that you would assume everyone has one until proven otherwise, just to keep yourself safe and situationally aware. From there, you have an entitled clown in the form of Tyreek Hill who is disobeying lawful orders and barking at the officer to "give him his ticket so he isn't late". Why is it on the cop to de-escalate this situation then? All that does is further breed this sense of entitlement that I think is prevalent in a certain generation who has been raised with little discipline and even fewer consequences across a broad range of parents from all races. It isn't a race thing. Its an attitude / behaviour issue. Maybe next time he just keeps his window down, accepts the ticket and then pursues legal (and rightful) actions to fight the ticket if he disagrees with it? None of this had to go the way it did. But it did because of Tyreek's actions. It isn't racism. |

If someone gets sentenced 325 to life (wtf?), why is there need to register as a sex offender? Possibility of parole????

That’s a great question. I think it’s just something that is par for the course with the sentencing (…even if it doesn’t make much practical sense).

When was the last time a school bus came anywhere NEAR close to being hit by a train? Related, how often are they rear-ended for stopping at tracks?

We have major railways that run through my patrol area and the occasional suicide-by-train incident (…although Oceanside and Carlsbad have significantly more; about 30 year-to-date). There haven’t been any school bus/train incidents that I can recall……thankfully! That isn’t a call I would ever want to get.

That was my quick web search.
In NY State, we also have similar restrictions on all tanker trucks where they can't make right turns on red and must stop at all railroad crossings. We have train vs car/truck and train vs pedestrian accidents in our region almost weekly. The latest one was a pedestrian killed by a Metro North commuter train on the Hudson line Sunday morning, which doesn't have many grade crossings since it used to be the New York Central's mainline to Chicago.....

But all these train crashes seem to be when the guard has come down on something stopped on the tracks. If the guard is up and the light it green, why stop and risk getting stuck??? Uncontrolled crossings- where it started according to school-house-rock back on Saturday morning cartoons - I can see.

We had one here a few years ago kill someone. Turned right at the crossing ONTO the track. Got out and left the car there and walked away (DUI?) and derailed the train.
