VartanFan February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 Quote Whereas law enforcement aggression towards the young black car burglar was over the top. I guess that since he was fighting with one officer initially, and possibly about to get dangerous control of the situation, they all came piling in, adrenaline flowing. Then it got out of hand (in my opinion). I think you hit the nail on the head here. It wasn’t that they were dogpiling him because he was breaking into cars but that he attacked the first police officer on the scene. I also agree (as the wife of a police officer) that it was ultimately way too much...but the taser didn’t even make him flinch, which I thought was pretty shocking. It was like...at that point, he wasn’t actively resisting but he wasn’t complying either. Very odd. Adrenaline? Drugs? Wow. Also, as for Saturday night...Abrams thought it was a lot of domestics and it was. I can say...my husband works nights and basically he deals with that a LOT...people have been drinking for the night and just decide to let it rip. (Side note - domestics and a lot of falls from older adults....basically what he deals with 99% of the time. Not that domestics can’t get very dangerous, but I’m thankful he’s in a department that isn’t terribly violent.) Link to comment
pasdetrois February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 My understanding is that in some people adrenaline surges can override the effect of a Taser. Link to comment
Jaded February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 Friday night I learned that the Slidell police office doesn't have enough female officers on duty when there wasn't one to call to help with the pat downs of the two women who dropped the purse in front of the car. I can't imagine why women wouldn't want to work with the men shown on TV from that department from what we've seen so far. ? I'm watching last nights episode now. 1 Link to comment

Do you all think this is an acceptable level of violence?? I am pretty sure cops USED to be constrained to a level of force commensurate with the threat? Disagree. He wasnt innocent. The guy was caught breaking into cars and was fighting the cops. Did they need 6 guys? Probably not. That was excessive. But don't minimize the fact that the guy was resisting and being a complete dumbass. If he complied he wouldn't have been tased. 5 Link to comment

They’re Calm & Respectful even if someone is doing wrong. They actually listen to people’s stories & give them a chance without having a shitty attitude or the “I’m the boss” persona some other officers have. They do their job & move on. They don’t stand around high-fiving each other & gossiping shit about the arrested person and laughing at them. Pasco & Pinal do it a lot and it gets on my nerves. It’s childish. If they stop following Richland then I probably wouldn’t even watch anymore. They have always been this way. The cameras have not changed how RCSD conducts themselves. We have an awesome Sheriff and Sheriff's Dept. A lot of other departments should come here and learn in how to deal with people. We are lucky to have the Sheriff we do. 3 Link to comment
gunderda February 19, 2018 Share February 19, 2018 I wish we would have had an update on the guy who was threatening to kill the cops family. Something was definitely wrong with him... weather it be drugs or just a mental breakdown. Wasn't he originally followed because someone called in reporting him for harassing people? I think it's a little odd how this season more cops will step back right after they're at an incident and tell the camera what's going on. They used to wait until the incident was over before they did that. Like oh hey, let me take a break to tell you what's going down... I don't have a job to do or anything... 2 Link to comment

I'm a new viewer this season (in fact, the last few months only)....but I can't believe that happened. Wow! I do wish we'd get a bit of an update from one night to the next. I was wondering if the woman who felt she got ripped off on the car deal actually gave the police officer (and the dealer) the other key that was inside the car. SHe indicated she would but I thought her husband/partner could have dug his heels in. I was shocked also that in Indiana (?), they let the guy go and drive his truck home when he didn't have a valid license! I would have thought they'd make him have someone come and pick up the truck if they were trying to be nice. My guess is that the PD would be in massive shit if he got into an accident of something on the way home. Link to comment

Guest February 24, 2018 Share February 24, 2018 God, yeah...that was an extra boring episode. The only thing somewhat interesting was the crazy hoarder/sex offender lady who kept bellowing about her "no arrest" order as if any such thing existed. I did appreciate the cop trying to get her to articulate what exactly her sodomy charge was for but she was too off the rails to answer. Oh, and the poor kid who got pulled over on his scooter and the officer obsessing over how anyone could put two sandwiches into one baggie. I cringed during "the part where we pay tribute to Parkland High School" segment. They all came across as robots programmed to spout platitudes. Link to comment
pasdetrois February 24, 2018 Share February 24, 2018 (edited) I'm forming a dislike of the male El Paso cop, who thinks he's a TV comedian. He kept taking verbal jabs at the two young people who were apparently engaged in some old-fashioned "parking." He's abusing his authority when he pulls that protracted disrespectful nonsense. Lieutenant Brown makes traffic stops and sometimes I wonder what for. His instincts are uncanny because in almost every case there is at least a small infraction. He doesn't miss a thing, including the random passerby who hollered at him and Brown shot back with a quick "hey girl" while talking to the camera. The sex offender story was interesting in that we don't usually see that kind of thing, and because of the offender herself - aging, white, specific details about her crime, and her apparent efforts to move around enough to avoid registering. I occasionally look at my community's list of registered and wanted sex offenders, and there's a healthy percentage of older women. The on-camera, mindless platitudes about the most recent Florida shooting have no meaning any more. Especially when we know that at least four law enforcement failed to intervene in the latest shooting. I wonder if that kind of situation is going to occur more - where law enforcement refuses to enter a violent scene if they don't know enough about the situation. Apparently in FL three of the officers were viewing footage from inside the school that was on a 20-minute delay, which is their reason for holding back. Side note: On CNN there was a shot of kids with their hands in the air as police arrived in the school, and one of those hands was shaking violently and out of control. That kid was severely traumatized and terrified and it broke my heart. Edited February 24, 2018 by pasdetrois Link to comment

I am happy neither he nor the crazy perp was shot. And McElwain did well on-set. Officer (keep forgetting his name) from El Paso needs a nap, or a snack, or a long break. He is too irritable and aggressive to do his job well. Some of the other officers are great, but we don't see them as much. 2 Link to comment

Obviously this dog didn't keep attacking because the guy was able to grab him by the collar to keep him from biting him more. But did the dog become less aggressive after awhile or did the guy just get enough adrenaline to kick the dog off of him? I want to know how that dog didn't tear him to shreds! 1 Link to comment
pasdetrois March 6, 2018 Share March 6, 2018 I think a lot of these bathroom-hoggers are drug users with no other private place to use. The manager of my local grocery store told me that he had to repeatedly bang on the store's bathroom door to force a woman to leave last week. He thought she'd been using. She walked in and headed straight to the bathroom, stayed in there for about 20 minutes, then left the store. 2 Link to comment

Hellohappylife March 10, 2018 Share March 10, 2018 (edited) I’m so glad they didn’t spend the whole night glued to Levrette like I fear. Dude is so boring & just repeats himself. He lists off every drug then tries to sound like a badass when it’s revealed what drug it was, like he just cracked some code. He’s like a male version Nancy grace blabbing rambling on waiting for an accusation to stick then feeling victorious once one of his 100x options became true. I like Zendejas but it’s like they’re trying to make her the season 2 Casey,always making sure to mention how “odd” the people she encounters are. Most of the times I forget I’m watching an officer when she’s on because she seems to be doing more socializing then actual police work. I have no need at all to purchase a Shed but not gonna lie for a price of $150 I could consider it. But then again I'm smart enough to know when something is “too good to be true” Lots of “it’s not my jacket!” Excuses tonight. The guy in Richland had no idea the Jacket he “borrowed” had a jar in the pocket with a weed smell inside. Yeah sure. How stupid can you be? Pretty sure most of us would notice the weight of a glass jar in our pockets instantly.

Guest March 10, 2018 Share March 10, 2018 Oh, lord. Nye County is home to some lunatics, isn't it? The drone-owning, anti-government hoarder was a big old piece of work and I was worried that he was coming out of his garage with a shotgun to start killing everyone in sight for being "on his property." Dude, your "property" is a slovenly hellscape of horror that no one would be visiting save for the fact that you're using a drone to terrorize your neighbor. But it seems invading someone else's property is OK with you? I still can't believe that scene didn't end in gunfire. Link to comment
pasdetrois March 10, 2018 Share March 10, 2018 Once again Kevin Lawrence handles querulous bystanders like a pro and calms everyone down. No doubt that in this situation being black helped. (The parents' complaints of racial profiling.) I got tickled at the start of the show, seeing Tom wearing his fancy shirt, smiling and working the camera angle. He's having so much fun with this show. The endless arguing with citizens would get on my last damn nerve. Hate watching it too. We're seeing a lot of broke down people - old, not enough money, ill - and I don't like Dan & Company making snarky remarks. There's a lot of misery out there. I FFed through Levrette. Nails on a chalkboard to me. After Marquez sprinted to get into his car I wondered if he'd have a cardiac event. 4 Link to comment
