The police misconduct thread

[Thikn2velvet1]

Let’s see, there are 700,000 full time police and you guys come up with a bad egg every couple of weeks.

25/700000=.00035%

You guys fuck up your jobs more than that.

Wow I always forget there is a politics forum on here. This thread must be hella depressing smh. Alot of people think police don't have enough power or protection. They don't know we're already in the beginnings of becoming a police state.

I don't know about that police state. There's a chance america could become north korea but i think the closer we get to that the less invisible it is. Normally people get away with things because it's in the dark. And it doesn't seem to be attached to other things they've done in said dark because it's all in the dark.

What we're seeing now is so many people doing many of the same things in many different categories that those who would normally act as if they can't see it are having more and more of a difficult time ignoring it. We're talking people having psychosis from what has happened to others without them really understanding why. And because it's happening so much and in so many different general categories.

Basically the people who do these kinds of things are doing more of it and doing more of it out in the open. There's only so much the average person can deny/ignore/etc. So the more the silver spooned horrible people push for even more the less likely it is they'll get what they want.

It's weird but that's what i see.

Yes, and when I fuck up my job, I get called on it.

And usually, nobody dies.

Knowing that cops are human and make mistakes, I would make sure the only interaction I would have is to say hi at Dunkin Donuts.

See how easy it is to not get shot?

 

[b.c.]

Maybe it's because there are more civilians than there are police?

How much is too much? One alligator can kill you just as fifty can. Police officers are expected to uphold a higher standard.

My gosh! I feel that we have to operate on half a brain (get down to your level) to get you guys to understand.

These ----------- don't want to understand. All they know is, it's cops beating up on black folk, and they're pleased as PUNCH about that.

I love law enforcement officers. I respect law enforcement officers. I trust law enforcement officers. I worked side-by-side with law enforcement officers for over 4 years. The hateful, disrespectful rhetoric has got to stop.

 

[b.c.]

Hasn't a thing to do with loving/respecting/trusting cops. I respect them too... have them in my family. The "RHETORIC" as you call it, is rightfully condemning the irresponsible, hateful, racist, and sometimes illegal actions of those UNWORTHY of the badge.

In the case cited above, the GOOD cop - the one doing THE RIGHT THING - had to intervene.

If one had "love" and "respect" for law enforcement, they'd be PISSED AS HELL at the ones bringing dishonor to the badge and their SWORN DUTY TO PROTECT AND SERVE.

Easy for you or me, sure. From many accounts, not so easy for everyone.

Some people are really dense. Someone got shot just standing in his own hallway. Someone got shot sitting in his own home eating ice cream. Someone got shot playing video games at home. Someone was shot simply riding mass transit.
Someone was shot while shopping at Walmart. Someone was shot while playing in the park.

All innocent tasks. Not so innocent outcomes.

Ex-cops claim NYPD brass enforced racist arrest quotas on subways
https://nypost.com/2019/12/06/ex-cops-claim-nypd-brass-enforced-racist-arrest-quotas-on-subways/

Excerpt:
A retired NYPD officer claims that transit cops in his former bureau were awarded more overtime if they arrested black men, according to new court papers.Retired cop Pierre Maximilien says officers in Coney Island’s Transit District 34 were told to avoid “soft targets” — meaning whites and Asians, as well as Jewish people — and instead focus their time on blacks and Hispanics while patrolling the subways...

Maximilien’s allegations are part of an ongoing Manhattan federal-court lawsuit brought by NYPD Sgt. Edreweene Raymond and three others who claim police brass retaliated after they spoke up between 2011 and 2015 about a racist quota system governing ticketing and arrests.

There are 320 million people in America and you come up with 6 incidents. You go places looking to be offended

You should consider investing in a gun, if they ever try and come to take it from you. Then we are in a police state.

Exactly. As SOME of us know, the REALITY of racism within law enforcement, which CONTRIBUTES to the well documented racial/economic disparity in "law enforcement" is a problem that exists far beyond just the NYPD:

West Virginia White Supremacist Officers Are Latest Racists Exposed In Law Enforcement | News One

"The fallout surrounding a photo showing recent graduates of a corrections officers’ training program throwing up Nazi salutes was just the most recent example of how prevalent white supremacist allegiances are in law enforcement across the country.

The episode in West Virginia came on the heels of a police officer in Connecticut being outed as a member of the Proud Boys, a group that the Southern Poverty Law Center calls a hate group whose “leaders regularly spout white nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists.”

About five months earlier, a lawyer published a searchable database that shows thousands of racist social media posts made by thousands of police officers around the country. The Plain View Project 5,000 posts and comments made by police officers through verified accounts. About 2,800 of the officers, some of them high-ranking, were still on the job as of June.

In Philadelphia, the Inquirer reported that 15 of the city’s high-ranking officers are in the database because of racist, misogynist, Islamophobic and pro-violence posts.

In October 2006, the FBI published a report titled “White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement,” in which the agency discussed the threat of white supremacist groups permeating police departments to hamper investigations and to recruit like-minded officers. It’s unclear whether police officials ever heeded the warning, PBS.org said a decade after the report was issued."

Such a niave take imo. The gov't has already ripped up habius corpus. Droning an American in Iraq, THE PATRIOT ACT, etc. They really get people all worked up with these minor(comparitavely to things like money in politics and climate change) things like guns, immigrants etc. Like those things would change anything. Gov't has swat, endless police, military. What's an AR15 gonna do? I will never get why people think that guns give them power against the gov't. It's not 1856

lol a bunch of goat herders have kept the United States troubled in the Middle East for the past 20 years. You don't think the southern and middle America boys here could do the exact same? Also most military, swat, and police would side with the American people over the government. Even if the government used weapons (Drones, tanks, nuclear weapons) against the American people, most sane people would instantly turn against the government. Guns do give people power against the federal government.

And a good chance you will get FIRED within weeks if not days not be after being on vacation AKA "paid administrative leave" for months if not years in a few cases and then on the odd chance you are about to be fired or severely disciplined you will get a heads up via the grapevine so you can be "allowed resign" before it "becomes official"so that when you apply for the next job in LE, one you have already put out "feelers" for you can "honestly" claim you have a "clean record'

The guy who killed Michael Brown had been in what 2 or 3 other departments prior ?

Odds are he is again working in LE now because according to Sean Hannity he "did nothing wrong"

Most sane people don't dwell on all that.

Thats a nice way of saying I'm right.

The great thing is, I don't have to defend my right to own a semi-automatic rifle, the 2nd Amendment does it for me.

It was a nice way of saying *something*, all right.

Apparently, the 2nd Amendment took a nap from 1994 to 2004. Better keep an eye on it.
