    police in the city should learn from this. instead to incarcerating young minds who are living as diaz said in a complicated city, they should have more rehabilitation programs.

      Thiere are plenty of good cops that on thiere own accord invest theire own time to teach theam selfs how to have a gentel approach. Then thiere are the real rotten appels that see the gun and the badge as means of excerting power. We cant do much about these guys execept for making it harder for theam to join the force or make sure they are accountabel for thiere actions.
      What we really do need is the ones that are in the middel grounds, the ones that dont take iniative to go beyoned the book but dont make things personal or feel they need to abuse thiere power. They clock in they follow thiere traning and instructions and then they clock out. No matter the job we will always have the pepole who simply wanna do thiere job. We need to change the rules and ledership so these pepole more resemble the guys that go beyoned rather then the rotten appels

      Well, I don't see how a specific cop could make more rehabilitation programs, If a cop see's someone mugging someone, it's their job to arrest them.

    Good on this guy for being so caring, but it was a big risk for him to take. I don't believe it is wise to gamble your well-being or even your life like that. he got lucky he wasnt approached by someone more willing to do harm to him.

    its a good story, good to see a end where things work out..... but sorry, if some one threatens my life, they are gonna die then and there, im not risking my life for some one violent, im gonna defend myself, no exception........ and i wouldnt feel bad about it the slightest,.... they willingly and voluntarily chose to die when they chose to endanger my life...if they wanted to live, they should have lived in peace.....live in peace, or die... its that simple.

      are bees cruel for stinging some one who kicks their hive? or did the person ask for it by threatening them?.......... actions have consequences,.... you cant blame me for the bad choice of others.....my choice is always going to be to stay safe,you can bet your life on it, but i woudlnt recommend it.

    • @bryanleebmy
      @bryanleebmy 8 лет назад +1

      PARADOXICLES Wow dude, you're so cool and so edgy. Can't wait to see you in action!
      Also, comparing people with actual human problems to bees is doing the situation a huge injustice. People don't turn bad for the sake of turning bad, they are placed in bad situations, and make bad decisions. You speaking so insensitively and so tryhard is just embarrassing.

    • @jessborch
      @jessborch 8 лет назад +6

      Here's the thing my man: the characteristics you portray here - characteristics of ruthlessness, of mindless reaction, of unquestionable violence - are the EXACT same qualities engendered by the "other." If you truly are a person who desires to "live in peace," I suggest you examine your own life.
      Think about it. If you lived in a world populated with only copies of yourself, you would be running around killing yourself over and over "no exception.... not feeling bad about it in the slightest," just because of some overreaction to a bad circumstance.
      Either way - I wish you the best.
