Comments on: Questions Abound In Copper Shoot https://boiseguardian.com/2023/08/08/questions-abound-in-copper-shoot/ A different slant on the news.

EDITOR NOTE–We have already asked both Masterson and the union about it. Both strongly advocate early release of body cam images and “honest” press releases.

So you might ask why is the Editor only asking Masterson about it?
Masterson is accusing the Mayor of making a mess of the police department- so there is no merit in asking her to fix it, according to him.
So where is Masterson’s influence and solution?

Business as usual. The Boise police culture of today is much due to Masterson’s 10 years as chief. Masterson was the chief before Lee.

His opinion was Lee “didn’t feel the culture.” That is a quote from a debate. What culture is that Masterson? The law enforcement culture or the white culture?
The outcome is the Boise Police Union is basically ignoring minor offenses- traffic and such.

Let the city burn and blame McClean.

So, I’m not sure I’m following Roscoe on this one. “Prove the sincerity to clean up the police” what about our current Mayor? Why just noting Masterson?

I would think the Mayor Candidate would be getting this done el pronto.

Prove the sincerity to clean up
the police, Masterson

Mayor candidates have any input on the lack of transparency by BPD?

The Guardian has failed to get answers from Boise PD and the Chief.

1)These statements are simply intended to muddy the water. INTENDED to mislead.

2)Failure to tell us assumes a cover up. Lots of examples, even in Boise.

3) Things just don’t add up when coppers refuse to give straight info.
REFUSE to be honest- liars?

4) many months before a laundered report is ever made public LAUNDERED- deceitful.

So in your opinion, cops ought to be afraid of cops since the Editor is stating the cops in this case are being “criminal and liars”.
Sounds like common sense.

Police aren’t social workers. If someone is so off the rails as to a menace to others then they should have been committed much earlier. And if you think that sending social workers into the field as a first responder then you might want to look at how failed megacities tried that then they were murdered.
Crime is growing because leftists actions are pro-crime. Many areas have seen annual increases in the tens and sometimes hundreds of percent over the last 4 years.
Our peace officers have a unique duty to apprehend suspects. The only legal place to argue that is in court – not with the officer on the street.

Same goes for nurses, they all need to become doctors. Wow!
