    Okay. that was embarrassing in all corners. If only Officer Joey knew the burglar, accomplish and hostage were his father’s ex-girlfriend’s grandnephew, nephew and grandniece.

    I do not believe the office followed protocol here, escalating a situation unnecessarily here. Looking back at the strips. Building up to this, I note that Baldo simply opened the door to find a gun pointing at him. There was no announcement of police presence nor was there any talk other than “Up against the wall.” That is not how you build trust between the police and community. I know the officer observed Baldo climb in through the window, but a little thought might have suggested to him that it was unlikely to be a robber since it was in broad daylight. The strip in which Baldo opens the door is unclear as to whether the cop knocked, or whether Baldo was simply going to the door for some other reason, perhaps to retrieve his backpack. But either way, the pulled gun and the “up against the wall” first approach increases – NOT decreases – the likelihood of a violent reaction.The cop’s response to Papi was completely out of line and worthy of official reprimand.

    Actually, I think it the point here might have been to add depth to Tia Carmen. Give her a life other than just domestic godess.

    since the father came from outside there was no reason to point the gun at him.

    I can’t believe that no one has remarked about Carmen’s comment “No biggie.” Maybe that’s why she quit dating him.

    Good thing they are Hispanic. If they were African American the cop would have shot them both in the back

    It is that perception that keeps the misconception between blacks and white police officers alive. Until THAT line of thinking STOPS, their will always be problems. So don’t blame the press, remember they come AFTER the incident.
