My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

One of my police buddies came from a department up in Idaho, from a small town where there was a water treatment plant on the edge of town.
In the winter, the "stuff" (human waste, etc) would freeze up and block up the works, so they had a bubbler system that pumped warm air from the bottom of the tanks, bubbling up to the surface, to keep the "stuff" from freezing. ("stuff" is a reference to the bad word for "poop")
So, one of the 'duties' of the local police was to drive by the sewage plant at least once an hour during the night to make sure the "stuff" was still bubbling.
They would radio in "treatment plant - SSB" - meaning "the 'stuff' is still bubbling".
That transitioned into the follow-up of domestic disputes, where the officers would have to respond more than once per night, and try to calm things down.
Often, the would leave the scene of the domestic dispute, and radio in "all calm for now, but SSB" -- yeah, it's still bubbling.
The media is not happy unless they're actually stirring up the "stuff" - not content with simply reporting when it's bubbling.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

"We do not need police to address these situations."
If the police did decide to stop responding, I'd give it about a week before people in the community begged them to start responding again.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

I need to stop reading Twitter threads. The number of people saying idiotic things like "Why didn't the police deescalate?" or "Why didn't he fire a warning shot?" or "Why didn't he just shoot her in the leg?" makes me depressed. The most ridiculous was the suggestion that the officer should have let the girl swing away because "at most, she would have gotten in 1 stab, most likely in a non-fatal area." How can someone be that stupid and manage to get through the day without mortally injuring themselves?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Lemon, even explained how difficult it was for the police when they roll up at scenes that are pure chaos explaining:
When they roll up on the scene, they see people tussling around. Someone has a knife. And their job is to protect and serve. Every life on that scene. And if they see someone who is in the process of taking a life, what is that decision, what decision do they have to make? And I..., that people say, “Well, you can do this you can do that.” Tasers don't work the way guns work.
An even bigger shock is when Cuomo started questioning where were the parents, especially since the father of the girl who was killed apparently only came out of the house after the shooting in order to get in a fight with the cops.

What we need is a judge to declare "the jury* will disregard those statements". (the jury always sits up and takes note!)
