The post about the officer who was being attacked and was saved by a citizen with a carry permit (can't find it) made me think about the art of projection
It would seem that the officer either projected fear or an unwillingness to control the situation, a bad thing to do when out numbered
the group of kids, sensing his projected weakness, became a mob
no longer afraid of the authority figure the officer represented and projecting their individual hate and fear of authority gained strength and power in their numbers and reacted accordingly and predictively.
The case further demonstrates the lack of authority and the ability to maintain it by the current law enforcement officers
Current law enforcement is no longer respected or feared by the current generation of youth.
This is caused (in my opinion) by the change in the law enforcement mode of operation. Current law enforcement is either an administrative note taker after the fact or a storm trooper with a swat team. The storm troopers to be feared and hated and the note taker to be hated and dominated or ignored. Current police officers seem to be trained more as politically correct note takers and tax collectors (fines) or as storm troopers, rather than problem solvers and prevention enforcers.
Having been in law enforcement of one type or another in my younger life I understand that how one projects himself is how one is received. Confidence and authority will be received with respect and obedience rather than hate and objection.
once the crowed of kids recognized the police officer as confused and unsure, they became a mob of hate and disobedience. When to confident authority figure of the citizen with the gun arrived the mob returned to a group of kids and the situation reversed itself.
Note that the citizen with a gun was not molested yet additional police officers (with guns) were upon their arrival. This was less disrespect for them and more hate for the authority figure they represented. They didn't fear the guns of the non storm trooper police as much as they did the citizen whose role was unknown to them.
just my .02 and more to follow
