Police Shootings / Possible Abuse Threads [merged] (9 Viewers)

Should he be fired or resign? This guy could have easily been killed because of the lies this officer told.
Man was just doing his job and was delivering newspapers. Why lie and say the man tried to kill him? We all know why...
You would think by him being a sheriff, he would know the 911 call would have been recorded.
Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer told a dispatch operator in a Jan. 27 call, first reported by the Seattle Times, that a man going house-to-house in his neighborhood in the early morning threatened to “kill” Troyer, prompting dozens of police cars from multiple agencies to respond. Tacoma Police officers discovered that the man, 24-year-old Sedrick Altheimer, was a Black newspaper delivery driver — and Troyer told them he was “never threatened,” according to an incident report obtained by the newspaper.

 

I've lived in Montgomery County since 1989, this is horrible, the police officers should be fired.....but I also feel they should not have been called in the first place....

Yeah, that's a real problem. Too many people want to call or involve the police in situations where they don't need to be involved to begin with.
 

I grew up in Silver Spring and lived there most of my life and I’m not that far from there now

this breaks my heart

My first real job out of college was in SS. Quotron building (was called the old AT&T building back then), a block off of where Randolph Rd. turns into Cherry Hill Rd....
 
I understand the lesson the officer was trying to teach the kid, as a 48 year old man. I seriously doubt the kid understands the lesson, as a 5 year old. The officer should of simply ensured the child was safe, and let the parent do whatever yelling needed to be done.
 

He seems to have taken some liberties with the details there.

  • Small group? Seems true enough.
  • Peaceful? Debatable.
  • Violently threw her out of the chair? I'd need to see more because it looked like he was casually strolling her out of the road and she started flailing about wildly possibly causing her own exit from the chair.

Believe your eye folks not just what's written. I really didn't see anything disturbing by officers there. YMMV.
 
sad article
=================


I’ve gotten the worst call of a lifetime three times in my life. The first one came in 2001, when I was told that Himey — my best friend and the man I wish I’d married — had been shot and killed.

The second came in 2010, when my son Donald — a great student who dreamed of being a film producer — had been fatally shot in the head.

The most recent was in 2016, when Che — my big brother and protector — was shot seven times by police, handcuffed, and left to bleed out for six and a half minutes before aid was administered or paramedics arrived.

When aid finally came, it was too late. Another person I loved, killed by a gun.
The aftermath of each of those shootings was remarkably similar: the pain, the loss, the stigma.

And yet, there was one important difference: how justice was, or was not, done.
Himey and Donald’s killers were convicted and are in jail, paying their debt to society.

Che’s killers can still be paid to protect and serve us, despite the fact that they shot him within nine seconds of approaching him, while he complied with orders, and then blamed it on him reaching for a gun in his waistband. There was no gun in his waistband............
