Officer AJ, who is actively involved in his Columbus, Ohio community is now under scrutiny for punching an individual in the face and arresting him for disorderly conduct. He has received a lot of support from this community which he polices and the community still supports him after this incident. Now here’s my assessment of the incident: Several Officers are on scene investigating a call of shots fired in the area. Officer AJ positions himself near a vehicle away from direct contact with citizens while armed with a shotgun. Excellent training tactics, so far. Officer AJ then observes a subject aggressively walk over to another officer and the subject starts to yell at the officer, “…or what, or what!” after the officer tells him to get back. Officer AJ decides to assist that officer while still in possession of his shot gun. He walks up and tells the subject to “back up.” He then pushes the subject back and immediately punches the subject in the face which causes the entire incident to escalate.
After the subject taken into custody, you hear Officer AJ explain several times that, “it’s not a good idea to square up to an officer.” Now listen to the conversation Officer AJ has with the subject he punched in the face and arrested. He goes on to tell the subject, “I had a pump in my hand and I couldn’t risk you grabbing it so I had to respond that way.” Now, from a tactical training standpoint, it is highly discouraged to never engage in a confrontation that may get physical while having a shotgun in your possession; unless the need to assist another officer is extremely high. The reason being, you never want to be in a position where you and the subject are now fighting for your shotgun. Bad tactics normally equals bad outcome! Now this will be an interesting live discussion for today because members of the community still support officer AJ as a good officer.
