Four Years, Nine Months

For holding back a crowd (warning - CNN link - click at your own risk):

  • Tou Thao, the former Minneapolis police officer who held back a crowd of bystanders during George Floyd’s fatal arrest in May 2020, was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison Monday for aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter.

    Thao gave a short comment on his role in Floyd’s death in a statement prior to his sentencing in a Minnesota courthouse.

Regardless of how you view the entire incident - and we've made no bones about how we did in our archives - almost five years for not even putting a hand on the fentanyl-addicted, enlarged-heart, massively-overweight-and-out-of-shape, actively-resisting, law-breaking criminal would seem to be a teeny bit like using a flamethrower to kill a fly.

The message is loud and clear:

  • say please;
  • say pretty please;
  • say pretty please with sugar on top;
  • ignore active resistance to lawbreaking and go about your business

Or are we missing something else?

The federal appeals court had thrown out Tuo Thao's appeal of his federal conviction last week also.

The two rookies were also screwed and convicted in both state and federal courts. One of them had less than a week on the street. Poor bast@rd. All that time for following the orders of the senior officer on the scene.

A big part of the problem was dDerek Chauvin's smirk on his face for the nine minutes he had Saint George of Fentanyl on the ground. He looked like a smug uncaring brute. And then Floyd died under his knee. Whether it was because of his knee, it didn't matter. George Floyd died and they needed an enemy to blame. They found four police officers and they are all paying for it.

Your fault, your boss's fault, your partner's fault, the perp's fault, nobody's fault, it doesn't matter, you will still be screwed. And you will watch your city and the nation burn. Just like the Summer of 2020.

Does he get out on bail time considered served and all the good conduct credit which means he reports to jail and then goes home the next day like all these mutts get.

As soon as you folks realize that your job becomes exponentially easier and less likely to get you jammed up just going thru the motions, the easier your prison sentence becomes.

As stated ad nauseam, start with doing absolutely nothing proactive. Playing police went outta vogue a long time ago.

Answer your jobs. Drop paper where appropriate. Arrest on signed complaints only. And the longer you take doing these things means the less time you’re exposed to the savage.

And if you have ANYTHING you can do other than being a cop to support yourself and your family, get the fuck away from that profession. And if you have no skills other than being the police, find a Department in a red state where LE are respected and appreciated.

Just like Jan 6 participants everyone will be held accountable, except the POS who died or the dealer who sold the POS his drugs; no money in that, no benefits in that. God help us all.

Derek Chauvin had around 18 years as cop when the Floyd fiasco occurred. He was an FTO working in a shitty area that was the equivalent to Chicago's 011th district. Yep, the guy like most Fto's was a LOSER! This asian cop at most should have only been fired. 4 years in prison is overkill to say the least.

There should be a Surgeon Generals warning when applying for this job in these police hating, criminal coddling times. Doing proactive police work may cause you to be incarcerated, unemployed or broke after you lose everything to some law breaker. Bottom line is if you’re still chasing cars and guys with guns you should stop before something like this happens to you.

Use of force was justified per their SOP written by the then chief of police. The POS died of excited delirium, initial autopsy showed ZERO damage to the neck. Minneapolis should just burn.

If you actually looked at the "updated" use of force/TRR orders last month, you may have noticed that any force used to deal with an offender, even forcing his hands behind his back to cuff him/her/it, is now a TRR.

or as the Invisible Institute calls it, a "use of force Complaint".

Wow. They just set the precedent for all future encounters. If you’re on scene and an aggressive offender who is high on drugs decides he wants to fight with the police, then dies as a result of the fentanyl in his system. You will be held as accountable as the officer or officers who are actually struggling with the offender.

Chauvin is an asshole. Got what he deserved.

Thao or the other cops should NEVER have been charged.

One cop was a week or so out of the academy.

Nuts. I hope it is overturned.

It’s already a known fact and on the court record via testimony of the doctor who performed the autopsy. THEY DON’T CARE. There is an agenda to be followed and a narrative to drive the agenda home. And that has NOTHING to do with truth or facts.

You're a moron for spreading false information and being ignorant of the directives. Per G03-02-02 no TRR is required under the following circumstances:

A Tactical Response Report is NOT required to be completed for the following incidents:

1.
The use of escort holds and pressure compliance techniques which are not in response to active resistance of a person and do not result in an injury or allegation of injury.

2.
The use of joint manipulation techniques, wristlocks, armbars or other firm grips utilized in conjunction with handcuffing and searching techniques which are not in response to active resistance of a person and do not result in an injury or allegation of injury.

If only that were effectively, thoroughly true...


Sure, we are on our own in being vulnerable to attacks by the predatory.

We are, in addition to this, vulnerable to being arrested by law enforcement for countering the predatory with greater force than is approved of by our political pontificating putz snots.

Remove this vulnerabilty to the latter and we will reliably reduce the quantity of the predatory.



Yeah.


That ain't gonna happen.



So, while the predatory enjoy and exploit the privileges that only the law can provide, we grapple with double the vulnerability.


Gratis to the political putz pimples.

This should be on every billboard while entering Chicago.
This unthinkable reality still hasn’t hit the majority of citizens yet. Hell…it hasn’t hit many of our coworkers yet. Maybe this poor officer getting sentenced will wake them up. You sure can’t ignore or explain it away any longer. The nefarious intentions, beliefs and goals of our government, courts and media have been on full display for the past several years.
It was never about “restorative justice”…it was about revenge. It was never about “police reform”…it was about indoctrination and shifting all the liability on you. The city of Chicago and its citizens hate the police. They have made it abundantly clear that it’s cheaper to bury a police officer than a violent thug…so let that sink in. When you start your shift you are policing in a strange foreign land run by corrupt leaders who cater to violent radicals, degenerates and illegal immigrants. Your only duty and obligation is to survive and retire.

Ok, kid. You think my wrists cannot be injured when forcing offenders hands behind his back? I might need to see a doctor so where’s my IOD report. TRR=automatic IOD. Goes both way.
