Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If you are a cop afraid to confront a criminal, isn’t that what special units are for? Like wtf are we giving SWAT teams tanks for if they can’t deal with this?
They also could just arrest him when he left his house for beers or whatever. They dont have to no knock him like he's "sleeping while black" or anything.
If he was handicapped and homeless they would be neck checking this fucker. Probably ly a lie anyway...I bet they went, questioned him, had a big laugh, shook hands and called it a day. This is PHXPD
Can't be worse than Mesa PD...
They'll always have excuses, it's how they justify bigger budgets and ridiculous departmental purchases.
"What if they have anti tank rockets?" "What if they're using suicide drones?" "What if they start taking shots at us with phased plasma rifles in the 40 watt range?"
The spectre of the unstoppable criminal provides an extra profit stream for defense contractors on top of forever wars.
So they can get new profile pictures for their social media accounts
proof that phoenix police are cowards.. they freakin admit it outright
No, they just agree with the shooter.
How about both?
That's literally their job. They aren't going to send regular officers to that shit. There are teams specifically trained for those situations. Whoever made that decision should be fired and blacklisted from ever working as an officer again. But we know nothing will happen about it.
Seems like those cops went to the same school as the Uvalde piss babies.
They may have. Third party police training is common, and a few companies train large numbers of officers (to be mortally afraid of any unexpected loud sound).
Did you notice the part where it was Dems being shot at? Could be a correlation between who the cops serve and protect and what side of the aisle they identify with.
Limited property damage and a liberal...no resources for that around here.
Coward cops doing cowardly things.
Partisan prosecutors propping up their Republican buddies.
Justice for some in America, like usual.
This guy seems dangerous. We should probably just leave him alone.
Sorry, we can't keep you safe, we're too scared.
