July 17, 201610 yr Obama about to speak again. Oh,Lord I can't wait to hear him say how the cops acted stupidly or how cops should learn to not be so out of control. Or how that could have been his son.
July 17, 201610 yr Sad, headed towards where LEO's are going to have to team up, one LEO per car and two cars always together, to look out for each other. Isn't this already the common standard in most cities. Seems as though they are going to have to up the standard to two officers per car and at least have another car respond as backup for any call or traffic stop.
July 17, 201610 yr If one sees a person open carrying, they are almost always the ones you do not need to worry about. In most case it's the weapons you don't see that one needs to worry about. That may have been true a month or two ago. Is it still true today? If a police officer sees someone walking down the street with a weapon, is he/she going to approach that person the same way today as two months ago?
July 17, 201610 yr The fact that police officers are being openly murdered will have an impact on the number and quality of recruits willing to serve in most major cities. It could also have the opposite affect. In times of war our best and brightest have stepped up for military. This could see an influx of people who see their calling to defending the homeland.
July 17, 201610 yr Will lead to doubling or tripling or quadrupling of response times at the very least. Public already screams bloody murder if an officer doesn't respond to a theft report within 5 or 10 minutes. Doubling up, while a GREAT idea, may not be feasible for all departments. No but it's going to happen. At least in area's where they've got a more credible threat, talking more heavily populated, urban areas.
July 17, 201610 yr Isn't this already the common standard in most cities. Seems as though they are going to have to up the standard to two officers per car and at least have another car respond as backup for any call or traffic stop. Louisville mayor Greg Fischer recently said that coupling officers in a patrol car wouldn't affect coverage to the residents of Louisville. I suppose some are gullible enough to believe that!

I hope you're right, but I don't see it that way.
July 17, 201610 yr LB, right now I feel these officers are sitting ducks. We heard the police chief of Dallas calling for volunteers. I hope you're right, but I don't see it that way. I get what your saying. I can't say you're wrong. I just know there are a lot of angry people with these shootings. The American way historically has always been to take action.
July 17, 201610 yr Did he say something horrible or Satanic? Will be standard 10/90 speech. 10% condolences to LE family etc., 90% how this is a gun control tolerance someone/something beside how his divisiveness and words have helped cause this.
July 17, 201610 yr Did he say something horrible or Satanic? Satanic? You're having to explain yourself to me more and more,lol
July 17, 201610 yr It's getting to the point of Vietnam and Iraq War. Soldiers didn't know who to trust or couldn't tell who was about to pull a gun or bomb or being set up for an ambush. Cops can't tell what a person is about to do now, all this cop killing and people saying how much they deserve it and how more should be killed. Do you blame cops for not taking more precautions and its forced them to have hair triggers. Agreed that LEO's, in many or most areas, don't know or can't know what to expect now. On the people saying that the LEO's deserve it, or applaud it, they are very few, sadly they are very vocal. I blame that as being part of the bad side of social media, a good number of people don't think before they post. It's on all sides, people don't think, such as those people who have mentioned the president lately, one being a fireman from Alaska, who is now jobless because he let his anger override his common sense. Again, there are people like this on both sides. We need to take all talk like this serious and those people need to be dealt with harshly. Once people see that this is not acceptable, hopefully most of this garbage will stop. It amazes me how may people don't think first, this past week there was a kid, I think they said that he was 12 or 13 years old, and I think it was also in Baton Rouge, where he was arrested for making threats on the life's of LEO's. How the hell does someone this young feels that it's a good idea to even make threats like this?
July 17, 201610 yr The fact that police officers are being openly murdered will have an impact on the number and quality of recruits willing to serve in most major cities. Sadly that is true. As the Dallas chief said last week "we're hiring". Also sad is with how dangerous it's becoming and not enough recruits, many departments are going to have to lower their requirements in attempt to fill all the spots available.
July 17, 201610 yr Isn't this already the common standard in most cities. Seems as though they are going to have to up the standard to two officers per car and at least have another car respond as backup for any call or traffic stop. Most that I see such in Cincy are one per car, but as has been pointed out, more and more when I see blue lights flashing I see at least two cars. To me, the two cars with one LEO each working together is the safest way to go now, and that will back up the response time a lot more.
