My wife says it makes them sound like sissies🤷🏽‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣but she didn’t actually use that word because the pastor reads this🫢🫢🫢🫢😂😂😂😂

"Officer safety" is code for "F--- the Constitution"

[Northcaphold]

They will never retire that phrase because it is an excuse for misconduct.

[MyNnavarro]

Yup. “Officer safety” has been weaponized against the public.

[OnlyTheTruthSorry]

I wish every police department across the US had your mindset about how people should police. Thank you officer Thornton 🙏

[bgbraz]

"Officer safety" and "Stop resisting" as well.

[special.]

Have situational awareness, honor your oath, and respect the public! WITHOUT the extra officer safety BS!!!
It's really not that hard.

Love ya, brother!

[donlowry]

Officer safety is not being used for attention, it's being used for an excuse for unlawful actions.

[seankeikbusch]

It's used like a blank check to disrespect people and violate their rights. My job was dangerous too but I didn't use it as an excuse to treat people like shit. Once again, you nailed it Detective!

[DTWMTX]

Matt... 'THEY' hear you... but their NOT listening to you❗️❗️❗️

[mikevine]

If everyone who hears "officer safety" would come back with "Do you mean officer cowardice?" They might quit using it.

[RobertLanden]

I think "Officer safety" is often used as an excuse to force people to obey and establish control. Get your victims to obey right away so they get conditioned to being obedient.

[microsoftteams]

You need a NATIONAL POSITION within the police world to change cop training/behaviors.

[mikecampingforfun]

When I was on the job (retired now) we were real men and never used "officers safety".

[RobertLanden]

It can also be used as an excuse to escalate. "For officer safety I need you to take your hands out of your pockets." Don't take your hands out and now they have an excuse to violently punish you. By disobeying you are now considered a threat to "officer safety". Of course it's all a ruse to find out if you're obedient, and an opportunity to punish you if you're not.

[earlharvey]

They use the phrase to circumvent citizen's rights. It's right up there with "I'm just going to pat you down for weapons"; a clear 4th amendment violation after detaining someone because of 'suspicious' behavior. Is suspicious behavior a felony, or a misdemeanor?

[becomewater]

LMAO!!! Raising his left eyebrow was classic!

[stonefly]

Cops are the 22nd most deadly job in America. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor. That is right below "Grounds maintenance workers" and right above "Maintenance workers, " yet the average cop salary is TWICE that of the maintenance workers.

[madcapmagician]

😂😂😂 he's raising his left eyebrow... Officer safety 😂😂😂

[shaunmcgimpsey]

Fuck "officer safety", they've got tasers, batons, body armor, pepper spray, firearms, AND qualified immunity. I'm more fearful of MY safety.
