I have learned that the key to not getting shot is to never turn your life around, nor plan to start classes at the community college.
Uhh, yeah, I know it doesn't say that, I was being facetious. You know, making a point?
About every time a cop gets into a shoot the victim was not the antagonist and got good grades in penmanship while teaching Bible School.
My mommy always told me the truth is a lot easier to remember than a lie.
haters going to hate no matter what you say to them. can't talk no sense into them cause they ain't got any. best thing to do is chalk it up to who they are ignore them and move on.
Yeah, because you are automatically branded a has-been and have probably forgotten more about LE than his pupils will ever know.
That's why I'm an expert at de-escalation. I never argue, I explain.
He did forget about his Miranda rights.
I don't think COs even know what Miranda rights are?
Am I the only one (you can thank the lawyers) who doesn't really see how being a CO and being a LEO are the same?? Similar?? Maybe ... But the training is COMPLETELY different with regard to ... Well ... Just about everything except shot placement??
I think this guy's training -- if he did in fact "default" to it -- is probably what got him the Murder 1 charge.
I dunno. I still have a TON of questions. I'd like to see HIS training -- not the classes he has taught but the ones that HE was the student in. I think that might answer at least a few questions about attitude ...

Unless the law has changed a Correctional Officer is only law enforcement while he is at work at the facility he is assigned to. When he gets off work and leaves the Prison Grounds he is just like everyone else . Having said that the news reported the chooter was a retired Parole Officer they are sworn police officers who have to make arrests of parolees etc in the wild .
Ok ... That makes sense. Tks.
The only time I have ever read anyone their Miranda rights is when I or some other officer was going to ask the arrestee questions. You do not try to do it from memory, you read it from a card or form.
If on a form, they either sign it or refuse to sign it.
In the refusals, I had them initial instead of signing. Just kidding - Jeeze can't I have a little fun?
Edited for clarity
You do not have to Mirandize everyone. You do not have to Mirandize if they are not under arrest.
Stupid cop shows!
