I wonder what your reaction would be if your house was burning down and a couple of cops were taking a selfie in front of it with a big smile on their face. Everyone takes a different approach until it is happening to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's everyone else, whom it doesn't even really concern that's concerned about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it wasn't the time and place...but it's also not worth the national news. it most assuredly is a smoke screen to distract us from bigger things. keep us focused on small stuff while they pull something big behind the scenes. And I assure you, if the house was on fire, there were fire trucks and fireman there. Civilians are always escorted back in fires and what not, because even if there isn't a fire truck where that civilian is standing right now that doesn't mean they won't need to be there in the very near future. And all of us here talking about this for two pages are then doing exactly what the distraction intended. You also can't make assurances concerning fire trucks and firemen. Did you look at the other article link? The one I posted? It's fully engulfed and not a water stream in sight. Not a fire truck. Not a fireman. Just two cops taking selfies. Being at a house fire when the house is fully engulfed in the very near future isn't near enough to save the house is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you listen to the video in the link I posted? The selfie cops are white. The home owner sergeant, who would be their superior,has a foreign accent. His attitude about the indifference of the selfie cops is very strange. But not if he now knows he's on the force with good old boys. Racism in the ranks is very real. Good call. i don't know about the cops actually setting the fire, but it isn't impossible. Why would anyone in law enforcement take a selfie in front of a sergeants fully engulfed home? Maybe the reason they shooed away the civilian snapping pictures is because they didn't want still photo evidence of their own selfie actions. It's under investigation. Let's see if anyone answers for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have serious problems...you have taken two police officers making a poor judgement on when to take a selfie and turned it into first arson and now racism all without a single allegation of such having been made. You are the reason mms gets away with the crap they try to sell as news Edited January 11, 2017 by Logan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were on the way and not there yet for whatever reason then that's even more reason to clear the civilians out of the way because you don't want them in the way when the fire department does show up. If they're not there yet there was assuredly a legit reason...just like there's a legit reason the cops asked the civilians to clear the area. It's standard operating procedure. And if the fire department was not coming at all...then there are more important things to worry about then a couple cops taking selfies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that time the house was a goner. 2. Apparently the cops had done all they could to clear the area and make sure people are safe. 3. Putting out the fire is the job of the fire department, which wasn't there yet. 4. At that point there was very likely nothing else for them to do. So hey, why not, lets take a selfie to commemorate our days work while we wait for the fire trucks to get here? 5. Why did this make national news in Australia?

It should be treated as just police taking pictures at a fire scene. Selfie just added his face to the picture! Would everyone react the same way if they were just taking pictures? Use rear facing camera instead of front facing. If they were not doing their duty and instead taking picture, they should be punished. If not, I see no reason to get so upset about this!
