Cop vs Obama protester

[rockbilly]

Further evidence that this country is going to hell in a hand basket.  The actions of this cop hinge very close to totalitarian government, soon we will be giving the sign and shouting “Hail Obama!”

He was just a cop being a cop! There is not a cop out there that don't think his word is law! They taze someone because he didn't follow my orders! He has dam few orders he can lawfuly give you.  But he is the A$$ hole with the gun and tazer!

THe man with the sign needed to continue to hold it up until arrested. It's time to use the lefts tactics against them, after arrest, a lawsuit would soon follow.

I wonder if the police officer being black had anything to do with his attitude??HHMMM gypsyman

Perhaps instead of them letting Cheeks being a wannabe rambo the Fairfax Public School system ought to offer Cheeks a refresher course in history and our Constitutional Rights, for sure he must of been passed out on crack when that part of the lesson was taught. Thats if it is even taught anymore with these left swinger pretend teachers!!!!!!

If you read the editors note in the article you see that the guy is not even a real LEO. He is a friggin school security cop wannabe. Plus he is an obama supporting black.

Seems like typical security guard behavior to me. Do whatever it takes to escalate a tense situation. I'm sure they don't get much training.

sir ive been a security guard ...let me assure that i had almost a day total of training..
this on the job... this was a private community so the situation was different...
  i don t know whether nto defend security guards or not...
 i knew some that were running scared...i know some that were able to diffuse
anger an crazyness,, even if a fella was drunk...
 ive had them put they arm around me an say i loove you man,, peasch..my answer was i love you to brother,, as they were helped to thier ride..most time you can take the situation to a less volital state,,
if you do it right...if you can t most times its because the individual had an agenda coming in...
 that policeman was given orders,,, an it was apparent...heck he may be ready for full retirement next month...ive seen policepeople carry any diraction they could take way to far...
from being on a power trip to being so wishy washy that did more damage to the situation than good...
thankfully many i know,,just use the hard method ...what ever,,reason an his training an experience,,calls for..whether its restraint ,,reason with folk or taking somebody down... i only remember one little lady guard about 90 lbs
who acted according to who the person was...several times id come in at 1130 pm an she would be standing with the keysout,,,sayin tony go talk some sense into those people ,,i can t get them to leave..i probably should have told the boss but id just put in my report that myself an said guard had to clear the pool area...it would not have bothered me a bit but she would have the worst offem mad an confident by the time i got there...
 that took some setting an talking..

I have to disagree. I'm a police officer, and I have no problems saying that I feel that this officer was wrong. Don't paint us all with the same brush, not every officer is like that. By the way, I've had a taser for almost 2 years since our dept. purchased them for us, and have never used it, or my gun for that matter, and I've been in this line of work quite some time. But then again, I try to treat everyone the way I want to be treated, and that goes a long way.

Well, I was a police officer for 20 years, and I never had a taser because they hadn't been invented yet "thank God", I never used pepper spray either, because the officers usually ended up getting as much of it as the arrestee. I also never wrote a seat belt ticket, I HAVE used my weapon to win a fight on more than one occasion. And we all knew, that if the perp wanted to fight we took him down anyway. He learned something and usually so did we.
BUT! I would have held the damn sign "UP", FOR THE MAN while he went to the bath room if he had asked. This clown, officer, security guard, rent a cop, what ever he is HAD NOT A LEG TO STAND ON. He is an OBAMA BOY, NO DOUBT!

I don't know about this Cheeks guy but most of fairfax county school security  are retired cops. so I guess that makes them has beens

[Questor]

I can't imagine that this guy was a retired cop. Cops with any experience at all know how to keep a situation from escalating. Their lives depend on it.

Questor, not to argue, but I, in my 20 years met a few cops along the way, that let personal feelings dictate their actions. I am a retired cop, and I am now able to say it like "I" see it when it comes to politics. The sign holder should have called his bluff. JMO
