Walk away. 10 minute fight and you’re not a cop.

many years back walking with a canadian woman down the street, in detroit, and a couple people were starting beef a little off to our left.
"shouldn't we do something?"
"nope. see, they're over that way. Our business is up THAT way."

Wifey has done similar things. "oh what are they yelling about? is something wrong?"
"I dunno, but let's go be somewhere else'
then seeing the caravan of police cars pass us to get to the place we just left... good times.

A phrase I absolutely refuse to use in this political climate. lots of people are just itching to make a racial issue out of anything they can.
This is something I have coached our white managers on after seeing one get fired partially due to a stupid blown up claim.
 
Reasons why I keep my interactions with the public to a bare minimum. No good deed goes unpunished.

Sounds awful racist to be giving race specific coaching. Honestly, by doing this kinda crap your just catering to their delusions. These people need to be told they are insane, they don't need to be handled with white gloves.

I don’t think he’s catering as much as coaching them on how to avoid cancellation by a mob of blithering idiots.

By altering someone's behavior (as far as I see it) it most certainly is catering to the desires and delusions of the radicals. Avoiding cancellation is merely a byproduct.

My guess is that by the statutes, getting involved as he did when the first guy likely just got loud with the cashier must have made him, legally, the aggressor.

A guy that was mad at not having his cigars wasn't likely the one that started the physical altercation? Yeah, not buying that one at all. I think there is another reason here.

That prosecutor has an absolutely INSANE read on their SD laws IMO. Or it was politically/racially motivated.

I have become a stronger proponent of the "live and let die" club after reading that. Sad story for sure.
 
Note to self:

Maintain lifelong policies of not patronizing convenience stores under any circumstances and observing hypervigilant situational awareness at filling stations.
This policy was wise when you first adopted it 45 years ago and is even smarter now.

Or just let regular folks lose their jobs & possibly more by refusing to guide them through the minefield.
 
This is the same county looking for any excuse to hem up my kid cousin for shooting & killing his cousin after she smashed his apartment window with an aluminum bat, cranked up on meth & came after him with the bat. AND he was on the phone with 911 the entire time, from repeatedly telling her to drop the bat, to shot, scream, bat clattering on the cement & him trying to save her life.

Politics/agenda driven? Nah. Couldn’t be.

Last time I was in Independence, MO my wife drove past 4 service stations to get gas in a seedy section of town. Me-“Hey you pump and when you get out I’m locking the doors.” She pulled out and back to the first one off the interstate. The city overall is very nice.

This should be standard practice but very true esp around St. Louis and O'Fallon......

I've heard the phrase as, "not my clowns, not my circus."
