Imagine if the Mayor publicly asked the FDLE to investigate. And became a voice of reason in this City. That’s what we need. Bipartisan reason. Instead, here’s what’s going to happen. The Sheriff is going to delay this for weeks, when other issues related to the election will be more prevalent and give JSO some room to breathe despite multiple officers beating up unarmed fans at the City’s largest one day annual event. TK will make an example of the tazer using officer while pointing out he was called a racial epithet to minimize his agency’s pattern of issues. They will blame the victim. As I said, that guy probably deserved a butt whipping but not by JSO in official capacity and not with handcuffs as a weapon. Ever. Just call in backup and everyone goes home. They are going to accuse the other family of extreme overreaction and overcharge them, claiming he was violent or grabbing at the officer’s belt (as subjective matters more than objective). It’s going to be nothing to see here. A year later, they will do what they did to Ben Frazier and sweep it away. But what really needs to be understood is civility is over. MAGA and extremism are now part of our evolution. Too many people truly are selfish jerks and officers won’t be trained well enough to put up with it, given the personality type which comes with it. We have websites current politicians don’t understand which are radicalizing a generation. I’ll talk more about it this week, but this article goes a little into it. folioweekly.com/2024/10/30/u…. Again- big picture needs to be the focus. Not short term political capital or tweets. We are a nation which so many need to be at war with itself.
