Why does Revell wear so many ribbons they make him look like a cartoon character police chief and why are the regular commenters here so angry and extreme?

The Tallahassee Report reads more and more like Trump Towers…. Some of these comments make me wonder where were these people on Jan 6th? Good job Steve…. You couldn’t get elected to public office, so you give HATE on platform…. WOW

@Diana S,

Agree a thousand percent that teaching should start at home and parents should be held accountable… But, all the more reason that teaching interventions need to be brought back for the sake of the children. Just because the parents fall short doesn’t mean we have to punish the children for it by withholding interventions.

The reason the officers used batons is because they are prohibited from using tasers, a less harmful means of subduing violent suspects.

All of the comments above are spot on. I will only add to Hope’s “bring back D.A.R.E. etc” This teaching should begin at home to be effective. Personality is largely formed by age 7. Also, kids spend much more time at home – however disastrous that is So holding parents responsible for the actions of their little darlings is crucial.

The citizens police review committee should ask itself the following questions:
Would we have reviewed this incident if the suspect had been white?
Are our actions placing our officers in a higher level of danger by restricting their response to dangerous suspects?
Are our actions causing TPD officers to resign or retire early to go to another police agency?
Are our actions why TPD can’t fill it’s officer vacancies?
Do we as an oversight group allow our personal racial or political beliefs to determine our decisions.
Are we as a board making Tallahassee a better place, or are we causing more unrest?

Just about every law enforcement agency in the state is hiring law enforcement officers, or at least attempting to hire law enforcement officers. With the hostility of this community and the commission against police officers no one in their right mind would want to take a job here!

If you don’t like being Treated like a Suspect, DON’T BECOME A SUSPECT. Model Citizens do NOT get harassed by Cops, they don’t get Shot by them, they don’t get Tazzed by them, isn’t that something?

Another piece of advice: Don’t give the Cops a REASON to put their hand on their Gun.

When you resist a lawful arrest… all bets are off as far as I’m concerned. And I don’t give a d**m if you don’t like it.

STOP COMMITING CRIME… problem solved
