July 30, 201511 yr I could see where officers at UC would be upset with the comments made by Deters. All cops really. Deters' statement comes across anti-cop and he should have been very careful not to make any inflammatory statements like that. I have seen it time and time again, the public is always on the police's behind and prosecutors are sometimes critical of the police (usually privately) when the going gets tough.
July 30, 201511 yr Spin, spin, spin..... Keep up the victim blaming. :lol2: I don't think anyone is spinning anything, most of the posts on this entire thread except for you and The Deuce are pointing out things that played into this man getting shot. For you to come out immediately and call it cold blooded murder, well that is.:lol2:
July 30, 201511 yr It's not spinning it's a fact. If he complied with the officer's request there is a very good chance he would be alive today. It doesn't justify his death but life is about choices and choices have consequences. Saying "if he would have complied..." is really a copout. You can take that logic even further. If he had two license plates...if he didn't speed....if he wasn't driving recklessly...if she used her turn signal... Frankly, it's a lame response when no one in the world thinks the response was anywhere near appropriate.

I have seen it time and time again, the public is always on the police's behind and prosecutors are sometimes critical of the police (usually privately) when the going gets tough. That's funny. I took it as pro "real cop." I took it as him saying UC police aren't real officers like CPD.
July 30, 201511 yr What are you basing this on? Pulling him over for no plate, he just wanted to get access to him and the car.
July 30, 201511 yr Pulling him over for no plate, he just wanted to get access to him and the car. So is it profiling when everyone gets stopped for that? Timothy McVeigh was pulled over for something similar...was that profiling?
July 30, 201511 yr That's funny. I took it as pro "real cop." I took it as him saying UC police aren't real officers like CPD. I kinda took it that way. They're not on the same level as good PDs.
July 30, 201511 yr So is it profiling when everyone gets stopped for that? Timothy McVeigh was pulled over for something similar...was that profiling? I know LE are all trained to go find the crime, you don't work in retail where the work comes to you. He didn't have a plate, he gave Tensing his reason to pull him over. Tensing didn't give a crap about his plate and if you believe that, then I don't know what to tell you. Edited July 31, 201511 yr by Jumper_Dad R(5)
