Boulder Police Officer Resigns After Encounter With Black Student

[@amdguru34]

That ignorant kid had a weapon in his hand and refused to drop it several times. Had the ignorant liberal kid just answered the officer's questions, the officer would have been able to prove he lived there and he would have moved on. However, when someone acts like this baby acted, he becomes a threat, especially when officers are killed EVERY WEEK by people acting this way! YOU ARE WRONG! The weapon is used to protect the officer, nothing more. Had the stupid kid acted like an adult, was respectful and obeying the commands of the officer, AND THEN the officer pulled out his weapon. At that point, I would think you was correct. But that didn't happen did it?! HELL NO! Ignorant liberals are ruining America with garbage like this!

[@Soontobeusbp]

@AMD Guru That “ignorant kid” has a much better grasp of the rights afforded to him by the Constitution than you clearly do. He was right, and the officer was wrong. The problem with your ignorant, uniformed, and unlettered premise is that by NOT standing up to these oversteps by law enforcement, it is tacitly abetting - and ultimately encouraging - these violations of rights. What is interesting is that when other folks’ rights are being violated by those entrusted with the privilege of enforcing the law, folks like you are pro-government. But, the very instant they feel like their rights are being infringed upon, the world is essentially ending. Ironic, isn’t it? Then-Officer Smyly is not good LEO material. He allows his emotions and ego to drive his actions, to include interactions with his then-superiors. Interestingly, many of those same traits were exhibited in your post. And, lest you say, “Meh! You’re just another liberal cop-hating millennial! Meh!”, A) I am not a millennial and B) have sixteen years of time in grade working for a federal law enforcement agencies.

@@B_radd yes I did. The simple answer is. If you take nice and answer nice without Swearing and throwing a fit like a baby None of it would have happened and the police would have been out of their way sooner without so many Of them

@@johnp245 the simple answer is, if the ex cop would not stopped and demanded ID from someone doing yard work, none of this would have happened. Plus he would still be a cop and not costed the taxpayers 200k for this unlawful stop. I'm curious do you think victims should be polite to criminals?

@@B_radd no not at all. But apparently you do! If he wasn't doing yardwork and was moving things out of his house or someone ELSE was taking things out of his house should the police not stop and see if they should be there. And if it was a burglar and he started yelling and getting irritated like that should the police just say sorry for bothering you and walk away?

@@johnp245 ok so I'm gonna guess and say your not from the USA. Police here have no authority to just stop random people doing yard work or moving and demand they prove what there doing or where they live. In the USA we don't even have to speak with the police if we do not want to or to even own an ID. I get that in your country this type of policing maybe ok but here it is considered illegal, rude and unprofessional. Police need RAS of a crime and cannot go around making false claims.
