"police are willing to wait as long as it takes to talk him out"

Yeah, because he's a celebrity. If this was just your average black man accused of domestic abuse, they'd have busted the door down and gone in guns blazing by now. Probably would've managed to "accidentally" shoot some of his neighbors along the way.

Lol that’s not how this works, friend. Try not to make such rash, anger-inducing assumptions about breaking news stories. You don’t know what’s going on, don’t be like this.

Yes, progress is needed in law-enforcement’s equal treatment, but that’s not the case here. Progress can only be made if chances to do the right thing are given.

All cops are bastards, plain and simple. It's obvious to anyone with a couple brain cells to rub together that Antonio Brown is getting highly preferential treatment, and that if he wasn't such a well known celebrity that the situation would be resolved much more quickly and brutally.

That's not true at all... Guy in a house with guns, you wait it out. What a warped view of the world.

No my friend, you don't wait it out. You call the SWAT team in. Unless of course you're dealing with a celebrity, then you wait it out as we see now.

No... you don't. Why would you put a swat team in danger to kill someone, when the only negative outcome if you don't is that they kill themselves? You're just wrong

You call SWAT if you are worried about evidence being destroyed before you enter, like in the case of drugs. When you are arresting someone and they are only a danger to themselves you try to talk them down.

Maybe complying with law enforcement may be helpful

Ahh yes, because cops are so well known for their ability to be calm and reasonable. Just ask all the people who've had their loved ones killed by them.

That’s because her boyfriend shot a cop… instead of once again complying with the police about active warrants

Perhaps this comment would ring true if cops didn’t constantly enforce compliance where they have no legal authority to do so.
