Flame if you want, but as a former LEO, I find waiting to help or respond to a request for help, while carrying your "Five-seven," reprehensible!!!
As I noted, I would help her trainer in a heartbeat - because I know what kind of a guy he is. He isn't the type with a badge-i-tude, understands and practices the principle of de-escalation, and is the type of LEO you can trust. If he got into it with someone, I would not doubt that he was justified.
On the other hand, if she got into it with someone, her actions and attitude left me with than reasonable doubt about any justification. It could as easily be that she escalated a situation needlessly as it could be that she was totally right in her actions - more to the former most likely. With discretion being the better part of valor, I'd stay out of it.
Reprehensible? Actions have consequences. As a LEO, the consequences of either good or bad actions and attitude matter. Demonstrate honor and be worthy of the trust of the public you serve, and generally it is reciprocated. Fail to do so, and the reciprocation is commensurate.
The actions of the folks in the initial article in this thread are clear examples of lack of honor and contempt for the people. That's what needs to change.
Nice response! I agree, what comes around goes around... And I am not anti-law enforcement as I have relatives in law enforcement.
