Before You Applaud Termination Of Officer, Here’s The One Thing You Missed
Posted on October 28, 2015 by Christy Lee Parker

The masses have begun to applaud the termination of the officer who “assaulted” a black teen and became the face of “police brutality” this week on social media while everyone seemed to weigh in on his actions. However, before the celebrations begin, there’s something to consider. Since it’s not in widely circulated videos, it seems to be the one thing that everyone has missed.

By now, you’ve heard of Richland County Senior Deputy Ben Fields and the incident that occurred between him and a black female student at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina. News of his termination hit social media, and many are applauding this outcome. Those who are celebrating are the same people who put Deputy Fields’ actions on trial by public opinion over the last few days, and I’d personally like to give them a sarcastic pat on the back for what they are telling our society as a collective.

We are raising a generation of entitled brats who think they are above all authority and the law. What are we teaching “children” and young adults when a 17- or 18-year-old can disrupt a class, ignore 3 adult authority figures, and STRIKE an officer, and the officer gets fired for handling the situation?

If you are applauding the termination of Officer Fields and defending that brat, go ahead and pat yourself on the back. It’s this mindset that’s breeding disrespectful punks and causing them to get shot. Stop making kids think they are above the law and authority. You’re not doing them or society any favors.

And before anyone says, “What if that was your daughter?” I’d like to think my kid wouldn’t disrupt the class, ignore 3 authority figures, and strike a police officer. If she did, she should expect a similar reaction and even worse when mama gets hold of her. Don’t act like a badass if you’re nothing more than a “child.”

Now, this man has been terminated due to the trial of public opinion by a lot of people who don’t have all the information and have never had to do his job or one similar to it.

There are THREE videos. Watch them in slow motion. If you’ve never had to attempt to restrain or remove someone who is resisting and flailing violently, then you really shouldn’t weigh in. The “violent throw” was caused by her own momentum as she bucked against the officer. I don’t care how big or tough he is, he couldn’t have “thrown” her in such a way by his own power with where his hands were. She bucked, straightened her body, lost balance, tumbling HERSELF backwards.

The above was the 3rd video that most recently came out. After you watch it, pause it and go frame by frame. Watch where his hands are. Look at her body, her posture, her movements. Then, try to do it. Try being the officer and have your body in that position and throw a full-grown woman like that. It doesn’t work. I don’t care how strong you are.

I should add, I’ve asked repeatedly for someone to state what he should have done differently. No one has given an answer. Not even the sheriff who fired him stated what the appropriate action should have been or what should have happened. Critics are quick to say what he shouldn’t have done, but give no alternate recourse. So, should he have continued to allow the class to be disrupted indefinitely? Let her do what she wants? Class went right back to normal after the incident. That speaks volumes.

Furthermore, how many potential future officers do you think are about to turn and run from this profession as fast as possible? So, in addition to the other unnecessary chaos created, our communities will also soon find themselves short on people volunteering to protect and serve. Congratulations!

Do you think officers are going to want a resource position in a school? More importantly, will such situations as this sit in the back of our officers’ minds, causing them to second guess themselves, costing precious seconds and resulting in escalations that turn detrimental? Fear of persecution by armchair quarterbacks could have devastating consequences, yet to be seen.

A cop’s life and reputation is ruined and a bunch of punks now think they are untouchable. How’s that going to work out for our society? Go ahead, if you applaud this outcome, give yourself a pat on the back for me. You are part of the problem. If you are one of the few who sees this situation for what it is, please share. There’s a lot of people who need to do some waking up before it’s too late.

DC Cop Defuses Teen Fight With 'NaeNae' Dance-Off
"Instead of us fighting, she tried to turn it around and make it something fun."
Associated Press Posted: 10/29/2015 02:18 PM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Show me your hands, or your dance moves. A D.C. police officer helped defuse a fight between teenagers in a Washington park by challenging one of them to a dance-off.

Seventeen-year-old Aaliyah Taylor says a woman officer arrived Monday and when she saw Taylor dancing to the popular song, "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)," the officer laughed and said she had better dance moves.

What happened next was a dance-off between the officer and the girl. Onlookers recorded the dance battle on their cellphones, according to The Washington Post, which posted the video (http://wapo.st/1GJBL1o).

The officer said if she won, the teens had to leave the area. "Instead of us fighting, she tried to turn it around and make it something fun," Taylor said. "I never expected cops to be that cool. There are some good cops."

The officer matched Taylor with each step. Taylor said the officer would have kept going, but after several minutes of dancing, the teen got tired, so the two hugged and everyone left the area. Taylor later posted a video of the dance-off on Facebook, where it had been viewed hundreds of thousands of times in less than 24 hours.

The officer told the newspaper she didn't want to be identified, saying the story wasn't about her. The officer has been with the force for about three years and recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier and Mayor Muriel Bowser praised the officer's actions.

Third Video Emerges, Shows EVERYTHING Black Teen And LIBS Did NOT Want Getting Out
Dean James

Yesterday, a video surfaced online showing a white South Carolina police officer “taking down” a black female youth inside a classroom. The left has pounced all over this incident claiming ‘police brutality’ and of course the old ‘race card.’ However, new facts have emerged that paint the incident in a different light as a third video from another angle has emerged – and it shows everything the left doesn’t want you to see.

According to Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, the video showed the sheriff’s deputy, Ben Fields, being struck by the student who was being non-compliant during the confrontation.

The viral video occurred after the black student was found to be breaking the rules and was non-compliant over a cell phone, using the phone during class which is obviously unacceptable, not to mention totally disrespectful to the teacher and other students.

When a school administrator was called in, the girl still refused to either turn over the phone or leave the classroom.

That’s when Richland County Senior Deputy Ben Fields was called in and the infamous video began.

The student continued to be defiant to the administrator so Fields repeatedly asked the girl to leave the classroom but again, she refused. As Fields grabbed her arm to assist her in getting out of the chair she fought back and got physical with the officer.

Conservative Tribune reports:

“When the officer puts his hands on her initially, she reaches up and she pops the officer with her fist,” Sheriff Lott said, according to CNN. He added that while the student “was wrong for disturbing the class, I’m looking at what our deputy did.”

And, while Loretta Lynch’s Department of Justice is opening an investigation into the confrontation between the 16-year-old girl and Deputy Fields about “the circumstances surrounding the arrest,” other news seems to point away from racism.

So it looks like the racism angle isn’t going to work out so good for the libs.

And this from Young Conservatives:

The officer has routinely been commended for his work…

Fields has also received commendations for his work in schools. He was given a Culture of Excellence Award by a Richland County elementary school, where he also worked as a school resource officer in 2014.

“Ben has been working for the Richland County Sheriff’s Office Department since 2004 and joined the School Resource Officer Program in 2008,” a Sheriff’s Department newsletter said.

“He is assigned to Spring Valley High School as well as Lonnie B. Nelson Elementary School, and has proven to be an exceptional role model to the students he serves and protects.”

The left is calling the student “peaceful.” LOL!

~aconservative

Here’s how it all played out:



1. The girl in the video was disrupting her class and was asked to stop, but she refused. Teacher then asked her to leave the room. She refused/

2. The teacher called down to the front office to ask for help. School administrator asked the girl to stop using her phone. She refused. Administrator then told her to go to the office. She refused. Resource officer was then summoned.

3. The officer asked the student to stand up and leave the classroom before attempting to physically remove her, and the girl still wouldn’t comply.

4. Student attempts to punch officer, while resisting arrest afterwards.


Yeah, so… I’m just wondering when this girl’s court date is? Actually, she’ll probably be invited to the White House here in a couple days. Her act of bravery is what counts!


My good friends at Mad World News add:

Look, the thing is – School Resource Officers aren’t just called for anything. They’re called when a student is being disruptive in school and all other measures to remove her have been exhausted. The fact that she says “no” to an officer speaks volumes.

What speaks even louder is everyone in the classroom. Nine times out of ten, when there is actual police brutality, everyone nearby is instantaneously outraged. Look at everyone around. They sat calmly in their seats, and reports even indicate that once the student was removed, the teacher immediately began teaching again as if nothing happened.

The fact of the matter is the girl at the school had no respect for authority, and a third video even showed her throwing punches at Deputy Fields. But that matters not to the left, who’s hell-bent on ensuring black people can behave however they want without repercussion.

So here we have yet another left-wing myth being perpetuated by the race-baiting media to the point that another man has had his life destroyed, all because one out-of-control thugstress couldn’t follow directions. This seems to be the pattern now – thug refuses to follow lawful order; thug attacks cop; outrage ensues; cop loses job and gets death threats; lather, rinse, repeat. Un-freaking-believable.

Spring Valley students stage walkout in support of Ben Fields

Jeremy Turnage

Posted: 10/30/2015 4:48 PM

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Students at Spring Valley High School staged a brief walkout in support of school resource officer Ben Fields, the Richland County sheriff's deputy caught on camera slamming and dragging a student out of a desk earlier this week.

WEB EXTRA: Watch the three angles of the incident: Angle 1 http://www.wistv.com/clip/11950719/r...nttype=generic | Angle 2 http://www.wistv.com/clip/11950851/r...nttype=generic | Angle 3 http://www.wistv.com/clip/11952640/r...nttype=generic

Hundreds of students walked out of class around 10 a.m. and into the school's atrium before school administrators returned the students to class.

Principal Jeff Temoney told the students none of them would be suspended if they returned to class.

"We've heard your voices, okay," Temoney said. "We appreciate you taking time to do this, but again, as you know, we always focus on teaching and learning, so let's head on back to class."


Video and photos from the incident captured by students show many of them saying "Free Fields" or wearing T-shirts that say "#BringBackFields.

Fields was fired by Sheriff Leon Lott earlier this week after video of the incident between him and a female student exploded on social media and sparked a nationwide discussion on school resource officers and use of force.

Several students said those 15 seconds don’t reflect the Ben Fields they know. "He was a great guy," student London Harrell said. "He protected us and everything. He was our school resource officer. We always could depend on him and everything. Every time I saw him, he was always joking around with people. It was never like ‘Oh, I’m about to body slam you.'"

The former deputy also released a statement through his attorney defending his actions. "We believe that Mr. Fields' actions were justified and lawful throughout the circumstances of which he was confronted during this incident," the attorney's statement said. "We've reached out to the district, who called the walkout "small" and "orderly."

Temoney also released a statement from the school several hours later and said the students and staff were safe during the protest. "At no time, were any students or staff in any danger. School is carrying on in a safe and productive manner today," the statement said.

Parents have said the protests could continue once school lets out. There is also a football game at Spring Valley in just a few hours.

Police Harassment

Recently, the Tampa Police Department ran an e-mail forum with the local community (a question and answer exchange) with the topic being, "Community Policing." One of the civilian e-mail participants posed the following question:

"I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to continually harass people, and get away with it?"

From the "other side" (the law enforcement side) Sgt. Bennett, obviously a cop with a sense of humor replied:

"First of all, let me tell you this ... it's not easy. In Tampa, we average one cop for every 600 people.

Only about 60% of those cops are on general duty (or what you might refer to as "patrol") where we do most of our harassing. The rest are in non-harassing departments that do not allow them contact with the day to day innocents.

At any given moment, only one-fifth of the 60% patrollers are on duty, and available for harassing people while the rest are off duty.

So roughly, one cop is responsible for harassing about 5,000 residents. When you toss in the commercial business, and tourist locations that attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a situation where a single cop is responsible for harassing 10,000 or more people a day.

Now, your average ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds long. This gives a cop one second to harass a person, and then only three-fourths of a second to eat a donut, and then find a new person to harass.

This is not an easy task. To be honest, most cops are not up to this challenge day in and day out. It is just too tiring.

What we do is utilize some tools to help us narrow down those people which we can realistically harass. The tools available to us are as follow:

PHONE: People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on a person for special harassment. "My neighbor is beating his wife" is a code phrase used often. This means we'll come out and give somebody some special harassment. Another popular one: "There's a guy breaking into a house." The harassment team is then put into action.

CARS: We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They like to harass the drivers of fast cars, cars with no rego, or no driver's licenses and the like. It's lots of fun when you pick them out of traffic for nothing more obvious than running a red light. Sometimes you get to really heap the harassment on when you find they have drugs in the car, they are drunk or have an outstanding warrant.

RUNNERS: Some people take off running just at the sight of a police officer. Nothing is quite as satisfying as running after them like a cat on the scent of a mouse. When you catch them you can harass them for hours, to determine why they didn't want to talk to us.

LAWS: When we don't have PHONES or CARS or RUNNERS, and have nothing better to do, there are actually books that give us ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are called "Laws"; Criminal Code, Motor Vehicle Laws, etc ...They all spell out all sorts of things for which you can really mess with people.

After you read the laws, you can just drive around for awhile until you find someone violating one of these listed offences and harass them. Just last week I saw a guy trying to steal a car. Well, there's this book we have that says that's not allowed. That meant I was allowed to harass this guy. It's a really cool system that we've set up, and it works pretty well.

We seem to have a never-ending supply of folks to harass and we get away with it. Why? Because for the good Tampa citizens who pay the bill. We try to keep the streets safe for them and they pay us to "harass" some people.

Hopefully sir, this has clarified to you a little bit better, how we harass the good citizens of Tampa.

Chill Wind: Have Police Officers Stopped Working?

Alhough Comey's comments were anecdotal, they are, I believe, correct

By Jim Glennon

Back in May I wrote an article suggesting that a lack of proactive policing would lead to more violent crime in places like Baltimore, where the police are vilified and where the population is most vulnerable. In fact, that article took as its premise another article I wrote way back in September of 2013 with the provocative title of “Stop Working.”

I say “provocative” because I received some heated emails and phone calls from chiefs, sheriffs and even a lawyer. They objected to the title of the article and feared it was advocating a police work-stoppage. It wasn’t.

So as provocative as it may have been back then, today it seems as though it was also somewhat prophetic.

The director of the FBI, James B. Comey, made comments yesterday that suggest what I predicted is actually happening among police departments in many of America’s cities.

Here are some direct quotes from FBI Director James Comey at the University of Chicago Law School just last week.

“I fear we are facing another wave of violent crime and homicide, and our communities are once again in trouble. And the trouble is complicated, layered, and painful.”

“I imagine two lines: one line is law enforcement and the other line is the folks we serve and protect, especially in communities of color. I think those two lines are arcing away from each other, at an increasing rate.”

“And just as those lines are arcing away from each other—and maybe because they are arcing away—we have a crisis of violent crime in some of our most vulnerable communities across the country.”

“In cities across the country, we are seeing an explosion of senseless violence.”

There are two trends, as Comey says, both of them disturbing. He describes them his way (above) and I describe them like this: Violent crime is going up in our cites as police are being maligned and held in suspicion regardless of their actions—and, I believe, they are very much related.

Some call it the Ferguson effect, but it predates Ferguson (“Stop Working” was written nearly a year before the world knew Michael Brown and Darren Wilson). What it involves is simple human nature. When there’s no downside to inaction, and when the only downsides come from action—regardless of intention—then inaction will become the chosen path.

Let me make it crystal clear.

On the T.V.

Three days ago, while I was sitting at a bar at the host hotel of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), a 16-second video played over and over on the television screen. The chiefs watched it like it was the final seconds of the Super Bowl.

It was disturbing on several levels.

On the most superficial level, a grown man was shown flipping a girl and dragging her out of her desk in a high school classroom. The grown man was police officer, a white police officer to be specific as that was the gist of the stories, and the girl was African American. Needless to say the talking heads were having a field day.

But what disturbed me as a police officer was what wasn’t being shown or discussed. I asked myself, how did this cop end up in that classroom? What was the expectation of the teachers and administrators who summoned him? What kind of administration does this school have? What happened before the officer went hands-on? Was the girl told she was under arrest?

But the big question on my mind, and one that has been consuming me as I talk to officers every week around the country was this: How many of these assembled chiefs, sitting in this room around me, would have the integrity to do the right thing? That is: To investigate the incident impartially despite political pressures. On the other hand: How many would choose to do the politically expedient thing and fire the officer without a thorough and impartial investigation?

Well, it didn’t take long in this case to find those particulars out: the deputy’s been fired.

I’m not saying that what he did was right. (I don’t know because I don’t know all the facts.) But I do know this: It takes more than 24 hours to investigate such an incident. (If you think being an SRO isn’t a difficult job, just talk to the four who were assaulted and injured in Allentown, Pa., this week.)

So now I have several more questions:

1.Why was he fired though a thorough investigation couldn’t have been completed?

2.What message does it send to both the cops and the public in general?

3.Are police now expendable cogs to be discarded when politically convenient?

4.Will this affect the behavior of police in the future?

5.Will it affect the communities they serve?

Who Would Want to be a Cop Today?

Back in February, Calibre Press conducted a poll of police, in which 81% of nearly 3,500 respondents said that they would not recommend that their child become a police officer. Think about how telling that is!

Police work has been a generational thing in many families (I’m third generation). It’s become professionalized to the point where most colleges now have criminal justice programs. Moreover, according to polls, it’s been one of the most respected professions in this country for decades (much, much higher than the media and politicians, by the way).

But how is the profession as a whole being portrayed today?

Questions, & Answers

When politicians try to find quick answers and even quicker fixes to explain the uptick in violence in their communities, they find an easy and vulnerable target: The cops!

Blame them. What’s the downside?

Well here’s two.

1.People are dying because proactive police work has proven to be dangerous for the careers of police officers.

2.The pool of qualified people is going to shrink when it comes to those interested in making a career in the law enforcement profession. I mean, if cops are telling their kids not to do it, who will advocate for this profession as a career choice?

Final Thoughts

Here are a few opinions based on 35 years in the profession and traveling the country and talking with cops in virtually every state 40-plus weeks a year.

•Maybe 5% of this population is equipped emotionally, psychologically and physically to do this job effectively for 30 plus years. It’s tougher than it appears to be from Law and Order and T.J. Hooker reruns. Yeah, there are some are in our ranks who shouldn’t be, and many make mistakes under stress. But, still, the job is so much more difficult than the pundits will acknowledge.

•The only thing cops can do to limit crimes and criminals–and I mean the only thing–is to be proactive. ‘Stop and frisk’ isn’t a technique or tactic invented by the NYPD. It’s basic police work authorized by the U.S. Supreme Court. It stops crime. It deters criminals. When you demonize those who do it, make them jump through hoops to explain why they simply approached and verbally engaged someone, they will stop doing it. And crime will go up.

•Violent crime is up in too many vulnerable communities! No matter how you play with the statistics it’s true. Attacks on officers are up both physically and on media and social media outlets. Cops know–they absolutely know–that they’re in danger both physically and from a career standpoint. They know that the more proactive they are, the more trouble they might potentially face. So, many have pulled back significantly. And for them, there is no downside.

Comey is right. There’s a true hatred for my chosen profession today. That hatred has a purpose. http://calibrepress.com/2015/10/vide...esists-arrest/

Meanwhile, the poorest, most vulnerable American citizens are the ones who will pay with their lives as inevitable police inaction allows crime to overtake our cities. I don’t think that’s the endgame ignorant protesters and cynical politicians had in mind when they chose to go down this path – or then again, for some of them, maybe it was.

I remember growing up with TV shows like Dragnet - Adam 12 - Emergency - CHiPs ... cops and first responders cast in positive lights serving the community. Now we have "C*O*P*S ....

It's all BY DESIGN!

Civilian law enforcement must be destroyed. By political correctness, youtube, the media, twitter, civilians are being indoctrinated into believing that civilian law enforcement is ineffective. The key is the media. Once you hear a lie long enough, you believe it. Then, once some sort of major event (riot, economic collapse, plague, war, terrorist strike), then the federal government can proclaim that they MUST move in, because civilian law enforcement is ineffective, that the government has "no choice" but to take over the roll of law enforcement.

Along with that will come suspension of what's left of the bill of rights, and the takeover will be almost complete.

It's the millions of civilian gun owners, that will be the hardest. Some will willingly give up their firearms, most will not.

Deal with it?


Detective Daniel Ellis and his son.

Are we just supposed to deal with it? I can't just deal with it. My nephew, Officer Daniel Ellis's killer should have been in prison. The non-violent killer was turned loose (early release) so the state could save money. How much money did this killer's release save Kentucky? I want a dollar figure.

Daniel's dad would like to know from the state what his son's life was worth.

Have you ever heard of House Bill 463? I hadn't. It was called " A statewide effort to save money".

Weeks after this bill was signed into law by Governor Steve Beshear in 2011, they released 990 "non-violent" criminals back into our communities. Since then, over 7000 so called non violent criminals have been released from prison early. Have you wondered why the drug problems in our communities have become so bad in the last couple of years?

Daniel's killer was on parole.
He didn't go to his parole supervision.
He failed to follow substance-abuse treatment.
He changed his address without approval.

In August of this year, he was indicted on first-degree wanton endangerment and first-degree persistent felony offender charges.
He was arrested and released 5 days later on $1000 bond.

This man's risk assement was "High" before he went to prison.
He was a repeat offender.

Wednesday he shot Detective Daniel Ellis.
Daniel will be buried this week.

You better look around in your community and be aware of who is around you and who is around your kids.

Meth and Heroin destroy lives and families. They destroy communities. Can you imagine how hard it is to be a police officer and deal with these criminals over and over and over again?

Do you want to fight back for Daniel? Do you want to fight back for your kids' sake?
Do you want to fight back for your town? Your community?
Do you want to be on the side of good? Do you want to support our police?

Fight back by calling your State Representative, your State Senator, the Governor Elect Matt Bevin's office, and local elected officials and tell them your thoughts. Tell them we have to amend this bill. Meth and Heroin have to be considered violent.

I'm mad! I am sad. I'm in pain. I am encouraged, I'm blessed. I am thankful. I am determined.
Right now I'm mad and determined.
Thank you for your love and support and all your prayers, we feel them.

Dairy Queen employee arrested for spitting on officer's hamburger
Dec 14, 2015

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
A bond has been set for a man who is accused of spitting on a Baton Rouge Police Officer's hamburger. Police say the incident happened just after 3:30 p.m. Sunday at the Dairy Queen in the 3400 block of Sherwood Forest.

According to a police report, a Lieutenant with the Baton Rouge Police Department ordered a hamburger at the restaurant. When he received his hamburger, he noticed a clear substance on top of the bun. He then realized that the substance resembled saliva.

The officer notified the manager who reviewed camera footage of the incident.

According to police, the suspect was seen in the video grabbing the hamburger bun off of the rack and attempting to back out of view of the cameras. When the suspect believed he was out of view, he lifted the burger to his mouth for a brief moment and then returned to the hamburger making station where he placed the bun on the hamburger and wrapped it up.

Police arrested the employee, 21-year-old Elijah Johnson.

Johnson originally provided police with a false name and date of birth. When Johnson finally gave his real name and date of birth, they found that Johnson had an outstanding warrant through the Baton Rouge Constables Office.

Johnson also later admitted to officers that he had several diseases including Herpes.

Johnson was taken to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison where he has been booked with mingling harmful substances and resisting an officer. His bond has been set at $4,000.

The employee at Dairy Queen suspected of spitting on an officer’s food was "immediately terminated," a company spokesman says.
