I don't think this is nec. a cop bashing thread (some people just view law enforcement negatively, most likely from their own life experiences which I, you or anyone else will not be able to change - at least over night). I myself can agree with Dave and could sit back and see the humor int it, if a cop got thier taser taken and used on them, as long as it ended with the cop not being injured. Unfortunately, in this situation, she was injured and not just from the taser. She was attacked as well, so not too funny to me. On face value yes, but with all the facts, no.

And theres def. some ill will harbored against female officers (with in and out of LE). Seeing as my mother was one of the first L.A.S.D. Deputys back in the 60's and retired after she crashed on-duty and tore her foot off in the 70's, I have a different respect for female officers - knowing what my mom went through. On the other hand, I'm far from in denial, -I've seen some females that shouldn't be allowed near a gun, badge, uniform or patrol car, let alone represent a city in a civil servent capacity (of course, unfortunately I've seen a few male officers that meet that criteria as well).

From what I know, Dep. Salmon (Deputy that was involved in this) is considered a good cop, even for her short time on the Sheriff's dept. (5 years or so). Her collegues were praising her and I don't think it was only due to her being in an ambluance at that time. They were basing their opinion on knowing her work ethic including her veteran status.

I talked to the guy she fought with...He was very much mentally disturbed. He had a 3" round hole in his calve and walking on it, apparently feeling no pain. In that state of mind, it's not someone I'd want to be fighting with.

 

[t&y]

Cop bashing thread or not, anytime an LEO is in a fight and gets their weapons taken away it's not a funny thing. If you can consider for a minute that if the suspect in that case is actually taking steps to disarm a cop and use their weapons against them it might help clear up my view on the subject. I've had suspects go for my gun, asp, pepper spray, even had one break my radio mic. Pretty obvious the intention was not simply to not get arrested or just get away. If that's funny to people, so be it. Like Tank said I have no illusions of changing someones opinion on the matter.

Are there funny video's of people getting zapped, yeah of course. It's all about context. A cop in a fight does not get close to fitting in that context to me. Training video's or people messing around with a taser just being idiots can definately be funny.

Chalk it up to me being on a high horse, or chalk it up to me having partners seriously injured or retired while responding to something similar to help a citizen who called 911. I guarantee if any of the haters in here had their sister, mom, girlfriend or wife beat up in this manner they would not be seeing humor in it.

I think a few of you guys on this thread have taken some of the comments way out of content.....Focking relax.

Everyone has an opinion, regardless if it's right wrong or indifferent. Its just an opinion.

Honestly do you really think the cops don't laugh at the people they arrest at times, and as far as a women being a cop, to think that a women is going to be able to win in a struggle with a man is rediculous. The mans always going to win, unless he's completely focked up falling down. Have you ever heard of a women raping or beating a man.....

Yeah, or anytime someone comes out pro LEO on here they are considered to be over reacting. Believe me, no need to relax over anything on here. Simply carrying on a conversation. The subject matter in itself is not something I would consider humerous issue, that's all.

Your assumptions about women are wrong. I'm not saying that all of them are up to the task by anymeans. I've seen my female partners knock the shit out of dudes with no help from anyone. It's not a everyday thing but definately happens. If all you have in your mind of female cops are the skinny little blonds on all the TV shows your way off. This profession definately attracts some hotties to the mix. But right along with that are the chicks that think, act, talk, and look like men.

As far as a women beating a man (non LEO).... happens more than you would probably expect. Picture big momma:bash: laying the smack down on pops for messing up. I see it all the time. It's definately not reported much simply because men don't want to look like pussy's and cry about it when their wife, girlfriend smack them around.

 

[Dave Wettlaufer]

Nah...that never happens!

The cops were pretty impressed!

 

[Vmjtc3]

This thread in a nutshell, Cops getting tased sounds funny on the interweb.
Cops getting tased in real life is not funny. Heres the deal, there are people who will walk in to your house shoot you, your wife, and your infant child and use your carcass for a foot rest while he eats your fruit loops and watches your tv. Yeah there are people who would like nothing more than to kill an officer for nothing more than hindering the progress of what ever they were intent on doing. That does however have no correlation to how "hearing" a cop was tased with her own taser sounds on the internet. It has a comical sort of irony to those who are not involved in law enforcement. Do I think an officer getting injured in any way on the job is funny? NO! But do I see a comical sort of Laurel and Hardy skit in my head when I hear things like this. Yes! Do I seriously think it was a funny situation FUCK NO, but I can also chuckle about the way it comes off when taken out of context. I think that is what a few people mean by "finding this funny" when they hear this. Yeah I know there are some leo haters around here, a certain tampon salesman comes to mind but on a whole I think people just get a chuckle out of the way it "sounds" not the events that actually transpired. Thats my take on the subject anyway, I have been known to be wrong though

 

[Rivergirlz]

So sad that being able to "beat the crap out of someone" is what defines the abilities of a good cop. That is exactly what most cop haters hate about cops. Their impression is that that all cops do is write petty tickets and beat people up. There is so much more that police officers do.

I know so many male cops out on disability because men challenge them and they end up getting in fights and injured. Most women can practically talk anyone into handcuffs. I've seen many women take care of business though when talking is futile. I've also seen women I don't think should have slipped through the academy, as well as some men. Generalizing is not fair to anyone, man or woman, black or white, rich or poor.

Cops do laugh their asses off during training when their friends are tazed. Men and women scream just like little girls and it's roll on the floor funny. It's just not funny outside of training and they don't deserve it just because they chose that profession.

Not just cops....

I can see where this thread is going so I'd like to say for the record that I would like to taser firefighters once a year also.

 

[Rivergirlz]

I was gonna say it wasn't part of the job however I think I would be proved wrong with some youtube postings. I have not seen it personally but I won't say it never happens :bang:

 

[C-2]

:lmao
I like you, your focking funny

X2

I personally don't find it funny, the cop getting tasered. Kind of comes with the territory though and I think it's somehwhat petty to argue about.

BUT

Dave Westlaufer has dished out some great shiat in this thread :thumbsup

 

[PolarBearKing]

Not just cops....

 

[RiverDave]

An officer getting their tazer taken away and shot in the face by someone who is (according to Tank) off thier meds and crazy is not a bad thing? I'm guessing it's only not a bad thing because she was a cop right?

It's always been pretty obvious to me that your are anti-Law Enforcement. But honestly didn't think you would actually consider something like that funny.

The idea of itnis funny.. If u saw it on YouTube you'd laugh your ass off. Nobody watches u tube videos and says "oh that poor kid". Right after his nuts get racked by the handle bars of his bike or worse. Nobody says oh that poor guy when everyone watches tazer videos.. U laugh and move on with your day.

Cops I swear to god.. Some of u gotta check your manpax, u are so sensitive to anything. Lol.

By the way my initial response post was the severely edited version because I didn't want to get into all the Dave hates cops bullshit.. I don't hate cops. I do hate some of the mentality sometimes.. A lot of that is displayed in this thread.

All cops get hurt regardless of sex. A few female cops screw up the image of what a lot others can do (not pertaining to this deputy, a LOT of the new males we get could'nt fight their way out of a paper bag, I have no info. on what happened in this case).


That said, here's one that's been there, done that,
When you've been in several officer involved shootings, Worked the elite Metropolitan Division C platoon and Mounted unit, and ride a Road King off duty, shoots a .45 better than most other male METRO operators.....and look this damn good.... then you might be worthy. :champagne:
Worked with a LOT of damn good females, here's the best in my book:

How's that for humor you beer belly cry babies?

HAH!

 

[RiverDave]

Here was the original post that I wrote over a few beers last night.. Lol

Please note this is written in a funny light hearted mood so if your on the rag over this thread don't bother reading any further because surely u will take it the wrong way.

73 Mandella, it's funny because something bad didn't happen. If she was shot and killed... Not funny.

Cop getting tazed in face by their own tazer? = Funny regardless of gender.. LOL (sorry if it offended you)

I don't care if theirs female cops / male cops.. So don't wind me up with that crowd, but I do think the chick cops should be able to taze someone right off instead of trying to go to blows with a perp.

Now onto this here

Some of sit in the comfort of your homes, type on your computers, and judge others who do a job you most likely are not capable of doing or are afraid to do.

Jesus, why is it all cops use that line? It is so presumptuous I don't even know where to start.. Right off the bat you are assuming that everyone would want to be a cop, but clearly they aren't because they can't or are too scared. 2nd it puts cops on some pedestal like they are so physically fit or brave that obviously no mortal human (citizen) can do the job..

I don't suppose it has ever occurred to you that a lot of people don't want to be cops? .

Next comes the "Cant imagine what it would be like without cops" and the always "they always come when called"

Now we're going to enter a conversation that you've never had before.. I'm guessing Nobody has ever answered that question. They usually just shut up because your a cop, and it is what it is.. Well today is your lucky today, because i'm gonna answer it for ya.

1st the government / commifornia proceeds to castrate the good citizens under their flag.. Turn them into complete pussies, and then on top of it do their very best to disarm them at every opportunity..

Then you a spokes men for such entities have the balls to insult said citizen by saying "You're too scared" to do the job.. The cops always come when called and can you imagine what it would be like without us?

The most obvious point right off is can you imagine a society with nothing but cops and no citizens? That lights off a chain reaction of thinking that'll flat twist your mind if you really think about it. The citizens in a society are far more important then the need to police them, because if you take away the police, they will police themselves to some degree in a very short amount of time.

A society full of cops and no citizens though.. No $$ to come from anywhere and armed to the teeth, would be anarchy in less than 2 minutes.

But in a more real world scenario, yes I can imagine what it's like without them. Quite a few people in america not only can imagine it, but live it.

Have you ever been to a small town out in the middle of nowhere? Farm towns? Alaska? Out there (to steal a line from a country song) people are protected by God and a gun (not cops). A large part of the reason that a police force is needed is because of our need to pack em in like sardines.

In a spread out world, where people actually have "land" like our founding fathers intended, a massive police force becomes unnecessary. In a densely populated area it is required simply because an armed society doesn't work as well in that dynamic. (but it still works)

It is because of that and more importantly the pussification of America as a whole that this massive police force is even required. I blame the government, I blame hollywood, I blame the liberals, and I blame the cops that pushed the legislation to disarm citizens as a whole.

You ever watch that scary movie (just about any of them)? Invariably they call 911 and while their waiting, the person gets killed or bad shit happens to them.. their all curled up in a corner waiting while their fate is in someone else's hands.

They want us to believe that the solution to all life's problems are just 3 buttons away.. 9 1 1. You push those 3 buttons that the boys in blue chase those bad men away. Cops want citizens to believe that too.

You want to know how the scary movie ends at my house? I'm not running for the phone to dial 911.. The movie starts, bad guy breaks in, cue the scary music.. Now cue the dog growl.. Now the movie gets real short real quick.. "Boy did you break in the wrong fuckin house today fuckwad" cue dog bite "cue screaming" / now cue 1/2 asleep RD pointing gun in general direction "bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang" The silence is deafening "You alright over there?" criminal lets out "aarrrggghhh" just complete and total pain... to which now ya walk over and put the other 2 in his fuckin head.

You know why they don't make movies like that? Because nobody would pay to see a 2 minute movie.

I'll deal with my own problems.. You can save "they always come when you call bullshit" for the castrated liberal types.

[t&y]

RiverDave: Not going to bother quoting your entire post. But here is where we differ on this. I would not laugh me ass of and move on watching somebody assault a cop, take their taser, and shoot them in the face. You wonder why people think you don't like cops, there is your answer.

On to your portion where you are sure nobody has ever ventured ... give me a break. You are trying to compare rural living to urban living. You are right, out in the sticks people live by thier own rules and police themselves most of the time. Pretty funny how even in your own words out there some form of policing is needed be it by a uniformed officer or a land owner. Unfortunately there are far too many people in this society today that only care about themselves and what they can get off the next guy. No police in the city... all you have to do is watch the riot situations to figure that one out. Or even better, go sit in your car in the inner city and watch what goes on with no police around.

Would it surprise you to hear that myself along with most of my partners think the majority of laws on the books (which are rarely enforced by the way) are BS just like you? No, surely that can't be true. Maybe this is a shocker, don't know. I say get rid of the majority of gun control laws and let the public carry if they want (exception to gangmembers, Ex-Cons, Mentall ill). I also say if you want to snort a pound of cocaine, by all means have at it. BUT, if in doing either of those you start F'in up the lives of those around you (we all know that never happens) then don't cry like a little bitch when you get caught and have to pay for your wrong doings (pick one of the punishmenst defined in the defination of a crime and go from there)

I agree with your words regarding the pussification of america. I do not agree with what level of that you seem to repeatedly place on Cops.

Oh and of course Merry Christmas

RD:

I threw out the first barb and I should have been more selective and careful with my words. You are correct. I liked your second response better, but I also liked your dissertation. I still believe that being a cop is not a gender issue (enough said ? that is simply my opinion) and cops getting hurt on the job by a suspect is not funny (you already explained your position on this issue).

I did want to respond to your statement, "I'll deal with my own problems. You can save "they always come when you call bullshit" for the castrated liberal types." I am guessing you do not believe that everyone who dials 9-1-1 is a castrated liberal bastard so I was not sure how to respond and am keeping my mouth shut on this one.

Enough said.

Female Deputy Violently Attacked Responding to 911 Call
The suspect is now facing attempted murder charges.

KTLA News
11:06 a.m. PST, December 11, 2010

OJAI VALLEY -- A female Ventura County sheriff's deputy is recovering, after she was violently attacked while responding to a 911 hang-up call.

The attack happened Friday morning in the 4900 block of Casitas Pass Road.

Deputy Traci Salmon, 31, approached the front door of a residence and was ambushed by 32-year-old Steven Atkinson, according to authorities. A violent struggle ensued, during which Atkinson grabbed Salmon's taser and tased her in the upper body, according to Ventura Sheriff's Capt. Rick Barrios. Salmon fired her service weapon, hitting Atkinson in the leg. She was eventually able to get out of the residence and call for backup.

Atkinson armed himself with a gun and barricaded himself inside the residence. A sheriff's department SWAT Team, Air Unit, and Negotiations Unit were called in. They were assisted several other law enforcement agencies, including the California Highway Patrol, the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department and the Ventura Police Department. Finally, at about 11:30 a.m., Atkinson surrendered to police.

I was engaged to a Seattle cop back in the day. Kristi was an attractive and engaging person and that diffused most trouble but not all. Long after we split up i asked her why did you leave the job you wanted most, her answer was i cant stand to be in contact with the absolute worst in society every day any more.

I used to ride with her and she was called every name in the book and absolutely always kept her cool, she was good shit.

Takes a special person to be a cop for sure.

I have friends that are cops and i would hate to be pulled over by them, there are bad ones out there.

To paint the whole force as bad is ignorant, the psych department stops most but not all.

Kristi would say can i do this job as well as my dad, of course not.

There were 9 cops in the family and they were a blast to hang with, they hated the youngsters coming in with some thing to prove.

And of course please note this was written in a fun light hearted mood so no need to go gettin on the rag over it:thumbsup

Your missing the irony if the situation. Of course if u get into the details of any situation their not funny. ?? Is this even worth me trying to explain it to u?

I don't want to spend hours arguing online.. Have a merry christmas. We'll just agree to disagree on this..

Attempted murder charges for using a taser?:hmm I thought they were the non lethal alternative.

They are only safe to use on non leo's. other wise they are deadly!!


All joking aside I assume the charges stem from the whole situation not just the taser deal. I would think there is way more to the situation than has been reported........

might be a repeat but it sure reminds me of the hangover where he was shot in the f ace in the face

You are comparing apples to oranges. I guess in your world and guy trying to jump his bike over multiple cars and landing on his face is just the same as a person ambushing and assaulting a cop getting shot while doing so. Can you really not see that there is a big difference in this. No, of course not.

Agree to disagree is fine with me. I very seriously doubt you will ever understand or atleast admit in here there is a difference in what you are trying to make it out to be and what it really is. Your site, your image, I'm good with that.

Here's a little food for thought..

Who knows, maybe that other missing information will be more comedy relief for you and your followers

Read this post from a few pages back, I believe this clarifies my position on the subject. :thumbsup

The attempt murder charges have nothing to do with being tased.

So basically,
Most posters on this board live in a headlines only world where upon if the first sentence is all they read, then that determines their judgment on the whole incident.

The fact that the article states the deputy got the shit beat out of her over a protracted fight way beyond having her tazer taken out and used on her doesn't change their opinion.

So, based on that line of thought, how about if Riverside PD officer Bonominio's article had been: Cop slips and falls while chasing suspect,suspect takes cop's gun, shoots him-that would be perceived as funny on that one line?....then the part about the officer pleading for his life later before he was gunned down is printed later in the article. In that line of thinking then that scenario would be funny too. Pathethic.

As far as youtube posts, MOST (not all) "wipeouts", dumb stuff, was done at the person's own decision (or lack of decision making) to due said event.
First responders are doing just that: Responding to an incident on their job.

Cop's car rolls backward on a traffic stop, camera shows him chasing after it (no one gets hurt)=funny

Cop (or any profession) getting the crap beat out of them, falling off a power line, getting their finger sliced off a piece of machinery=not funny.



The ADW charge in this case from causing serious bodily injury. Simple reminder, cop's carry guns for their job, knocking one out via fists, tazers, automatically allows said assailant to take their gun. Being knocked out is considered serious bodily injury in Ca. law for everyone.

I always like the posters who post about cops using less lethal instead of fighting.

When I started in 92", I did'nt have a tazer or a bean bag, I gave, (and took) beatings regularly Plenty of wussy suspects and their lawyers cried foul about us fighitng toe to toe and now you have all the less lethal stuff being used. The citizenry created that situation.

And the old circle of the net goes round and round. I take no issue with any of you individually anymore like I used to. You're all entitled to your own opinions. I've said it for 8 years on boat sites,
Maybe try and talk to leo's you know about this stuff to get a more rounded view of what actually happens out there. Otherwise, I guess it's all funny, and we'll continue to have an F'd up society.

Its hard to judge an opinion on female cops. I have seen female cops that can beat the shit out of half the team and got respect quick. The other half, well they made me nervous.

When the tazer first came out, we had to get a contact shot (no darts) in the leg. Then as a group we got in a big circle and locked arms. The two guys on the end held on to the wire while the instructor pulled the trigger. Holy Shit that was a lot worse after we all got up off the floor and realized what just happened.

Here was the original post that I wrote over a few beers last night.. Lol

Please note this is written in a funny light hearted mood so if your on the rag over this thread don't bother reading any further because surely u will take it the wrong way.



You ever watch that scary movie (just about any of them)? Invariably they call 911 and while their waiting, the person gets killed or bad shit happens to them.. their all curled up in a corner waiting while their fate is in someone else's hands.

They want us to believe that the solution to all life's problems are just 3 buttons away.. 9 1 1. You push those 3 buttons that the boys in blue chase those bad men away. Cops want citizens to believe that too.

You want to know how the scary movie ends at my house? I'm not running for the phone to dial 911.. The movie starts, bad guy breaks in, cue the scary music.. Now cue the dog growl.. Now the movie gets real short real quick.. "Boy did you break in the wrong fuckin house today fuckwad" cue dog bite "cue screaming" / now cue 1/2 asleep RD pointing gun in general direction "bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang" The silence is deafening "You alright over there?" criminal lets out "aarrrggghhh" just complete and total pain... to which now ya walk over and put the other 2 in his fuckin head.

You know why they don't make movies like that? Because nobody would pay to see a 2 minute movie.

I'll deal with my own problems.. You can save "they always come when you call bullshit" for the castrated liberal types.

Okay Mr. Tough Guy, the chance of this being successful would directly relate to how sober you were at the time. Based on your rep for drinking often, I would think the perp would be safe anytime after 8pm every night. It's kind of hard to be a good aim while stumbling drunk.

Please note this is written in a funny light hearted mood so if your on the rag over this reply u have taken it the wrong way.

One thing everyone needs to realize, all remarks regarding this incident (except for Tank's) are based on the news articles from the press release. A press release NEVER contains all the facts, it only contains enough info to satisfy the press or the bare minimum to NOT affect the ongoing investigation. There is alot more to this story than what has been released to the public. The situation was quite a bit more dangerous than what was stated. The officer is very capable and this would have/could have occurred to a male officer just the same. From the suspects injuries as seen in the ER, the officer inflicted some good hurt to him in the confrontation.
