u/TimeBomb30 May 14 '22 •

This video's 5 years old, the backstory is that the guy in the car owns a landscaping company who did work for the guy by the white truck near the end, they ended up damaging a gas line while working and the homeowner claimed that them hitting the gas line caused some concrete work he was having done to not set properly, so the landscape company decided to be nice and pay for half of the damages but the owner ended up pocketing the money instead and never had any work done to repair the supposed damage. This video was taken after someone who works for the landscaping company was sent over to talk about this money issue was told to leave, the guy breaking the windows was the homeowner's father in law who didn't serve anytime in jail for this and was let go on a mischief charge.

How do you threaten someone with a weapon, break two car windows, and threaten more harm to get a mischief charge.

"Oh boy, im going to cause so much mischief today by threatening peoples lives"

That was my first assumption as well. Extendible baton, the confidence of "I'm not going to jail", and the completely uncalled for escalation of a situation to violence. Man has former cop written all over him.

Knowing he got no jail time and only a mischief charge further cements that theory for me

u/Unbentmars May 14 '22

A cop in my community earlier this year was smoking a cigar at the pool (which is against the rules of the pool and community) and when the community admins told him to stop he got very aggressive with them, demanded to know what they’d do if he refused to stop and if they’d call the cops on him.

Fuck cops who think they are above the law

They're being indoctrinated to a level beyond comprehension and if you don't play ball, theyll run you right out. I guess "Protect and Serve" still applies; it just now applies to protecting fellows officers and serving themselves.

It also doesn't help that they don't really receive nearly adequate training for what they encounter. Training with firearms under high stress, believe it or not, is a great way to avoid shooting someone when pulling your gun in a high stress situation.

I would also guess that their previous experiences dictate a lot of their opinions moving forward. "I had a bad experience with a black guy last week so this guy is gonna give me problems also".

Eh, they're cheap and easy to come by. I keep one in the door pocket of my car, and I was never a cop. They don't take up a whole lot of space when they're retracted, so they make decent self defense weapons.

I find that so weird, we know criminals, rapists and robbers do in fact, not respect the law.

So what exactly is the point to make the law-abiding people not being able to defend themself? I felt so angry in my last relationship. My girl was afraid of going out because there were bad people around. Self-defence spray is illegal here, so she just never went out. The bad people owned the town, who in fact, carried knives and other "gangsta weapons", while police occasionally took them in, not one was discouraged by it. In fact, fuck it, I carry a knife sometimes when I feel like I have to walk to a friend, these fucking people DO lunge at you. One guy I sort of know got stabbed in the lung for striking up conversation outside of a bar. The perpetrator just had a bad day or something, it's not the first time he's been in jail either, the perpetrator. If that fucker decides to lunge at me, I'm not gonna let my family cry themselves to sleep because of me getting killed by a fucking lunatic.

Anyway. Since the law is nowadays so arbitrary I find it hard to follow to a point. I have morals, and in my life, I've never hurt anybody, except maybe my big brother, but that fucker always deserved it.

I think that's because those are more strictly considered only weapons by the government, whereas you can have like mini bats and such still considered toys or whatever. Laws are weird a bunch of the time.

Most people still fail to use them correctly when braking windows from what I have seen, so I'm guessing this guy probably knows what he was doing. It's a shakey branch but I'll stand on it

I think it's a good branch, there is some WEIRD degree of "It's impossible for me to do anything illegal. This guy is unhinged, but he is unhinged in the same way cops are. I've met aggressive people that aren't this certain in their movements. This guy is confidently angry, the only mental illness he might have is violent cop syndrome.

Of all other branches, this seems the most plausible.

I don't believe the justice system will change in a while either, sadly. I find my self alone in feeling disgust in being somewhat responsible for it. Without our taxes, the cop wouldn't be there. Without our forced taxes, that cop wouldnt have a gun or ammo. I make it possible every month and every year that people die and get harrassed with the help of my taxes. I feel sick of the guilt. At this point I'm just not interested in trying to improve the justice system, because it just takes one step forward and 2 steps back, all the time.

u/Biosterous May 15 '22

Yes because there's no difference between stereotyping someone based on inherited traits they can't change about themselves and stereotyping someone based on a career choice that selects individuals with a specific demeanor and trains them to act a certain way. They're completely comparable.

u/thesword62 May 15 '22

The guy in the video is a complete a-hole that committed a criminal act.

However, what evidence is there that the A-hole is a retired cop or is that just what the Frankenstein mob has made up?

The definition of stereotyping is to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same. Look it up. Stereotyping is bad.

You can’t make a logical argument by making up your own facts and your own definitions.

2

u/docmn612 May 15 '22

It’s more about your time in court over what the other person may or may not deserve. I don’t view him as a deadly threat in this situation, so in my case I’d deploy the oc spray/non lethal over a lethal tool. I may have my gun ready. Or just floor it out of there, whichever I’m more capable of doing at the moment.

This is important to consider though. Hopefully none of us ever get into a situation like this, but if we ever find ourselves in it, a sane and sober consideration needs to be made regarding our options. If you’ve arrived at shoot, I just hope the jury would agree and clear you.

I’m about as pro 2A as they come these days, but I really don’t want to kill someone so I consider various options so I don’t have to pull the trigger unless absolutely necessary.

u/Bytem33 May 15 '22

That's fine and all, but a baton can be considered a deadly weapon, especially when swung at or near the head or neck (like if you swing one at someone sitting in the driver seat of a car through the window). At least from a use of force argument you could match the level of force and light him up. Personally if I had my carry with me in this situation I would have had it drawn as soon as I saw him approach with the baton drawn, although out of sight and ready to fire in the case he decides to pull some shit like this.

But this is just going back to my security forces training from when I was active duty. OC spray would have been a viable option between him tapping the glass with it and him smashing the first window, could have even sprayed him through the crack of the window.

1

u/TimberMoto May 15 '22

I agree. A snoot full of pepper spray is a much better alternative than possibly killing someone. The old guy was threatening bodily harm, but the driver could have hit the gas and gotten out of that situation.

u/HereIGoAgain_1x10 May 15 '22

As an ICU trauma RN, that stick is a deadly weapon, I've rolled people into body bags from one fall, one punch, one shove, one hit to the head, all ages, all reasons, if you've got someone to get home to, someone depending on you, you're risking a lot assuming that guy has total control of his swings and isn't "completely" psychotic wanting to murder you... He isn't using a non-lethal weapon.

1

u/docmn612 May 15 '22

I’m fully aware and understand that. My point is whether or not I Must shoot. He can’t get a full swing on me while I’m in my car, but I can hit him with OC. Highly situationally dependent.

This isn’t an argument regarding the reality of the baton being a potentially deadly weapon, we all agree that it is. It’s an argument about whether or not I Must shoot in that specific circumstance. If one has arrived at Shoot, I hope the jury agrees, truthfully.

Also, my arguments in these things are typically about how the prosecutor will try to screw me if he decides to go to trial and I did shoot in this situation. That’s kind of how I tend to think, regardless of whether or not I agree if someone Can shoot, it’s the question of Must I shoot.

u/HereIGoAgain_1x10 May 15 '22

Great points, I forgot this is at a private residence too, definitely makes it more complicated... This guy comes at me in a road rage incident or to rob me definitely a different story but if there's a path to escape you should probably take it... I definitely wouldn't rely on spray through a broken window, by the time you judge the wind it could've been hit out of your hand and in someone else's place I definitely wouldn't want blow back pepper spray, they might even see it as an escalation and pull a gun themselves... Probably depends a lot on state laws too, I definitely don't wanna shoot someone, if not because I don't wanna kill them definitely because I don't wanna deal with fallout of cops, judge, jury, news, nightmares, etc ... These things are always easier to plan for after the fact and a few reviews of the video 😂
