I'd be inclined to say a good portion of them were bullied in life by other kids and have plenty of unresolved, repressed subconscious feelings that lead them to become LEOs to exert control and power over others. And that feeds into a system that protects such behaviors - cops can rarely do wrong it seems.
Cop in America doing a bad job, again

But if so many medical professionals were going rogue on this scale, abusing patients, misdiagnosing conditions, engaging in negligent practice etc, causing death and injury on a regular basis, there would be a massive outcry surely.
How come they can be taken to the cleaners but cops are seemingly immune to any kind of repercussions even when clearly at fault?
Nice try Jeff! So much for improving public perceptions.
I think there’s a healthy amount of those, but also people who were bullies themselves when they were younger, and just remained dicks throughout their lives. If there’s someone that enjoys bullying other people, there are few jobs I can imagine more desirable for them than being a police officer in America.
That's true. To be bullied by a cop is almost expected over here.
Yet another false prosecution and the trio had to serve 36 YEARS!!!

If anyone here is a familiar with the Guardia Civil, a lot of American police seem one step away from them. Overly self-righteous and a feeling of being untouchable, with some kind of hatred for others. I've seen the Gaurdia throw someone in the back of their car and punch them for filming them harassing somebody.
They've also killed a guy with their bare hands in front of a lot of witnesses and completely got away with it. After they'd killed him they raided the apartments above to take people's phones who they thought might be filming it. Horrible cnuts.
Her follow up tweet for reference.
shocker.
Kinell.
Girls got issues
Why’s that?
Yea, her dad.
Maybe her dad is all of that, maybe he's not. Do any of us know or do we just take her word for it as she's ranted on social media?
Families have fall outs, arguments and issues. I don't see why any of that is in this thread tbh and what the relevance is. The biggest actual take home for me is just how despised the police seem to be in the US (to have Pig written on all the cups). Clearly a massive issue that needs addressing with their relationship with the public. Total contrast to how officers in the UK are treated.
You seem to be doubting her; why?
Police in America have only themselves to blame for the disconnect between themselves and the public.
I'm not necessarily doubting her but I'm saying I'd sooner not take a rant on social media as gospel without hearing the other side. Odd timing to spout all of that off the back of abuse being placed on some coffees.
And yeah I agree they do.
It was turned into a story by the “reporter” who chose to shame the original Starbucks employee who has no doubt now lost their job because Starbucks are quicker to respond with investigations than the police.
The daughter obviously saw the story and replied to the tweet. No surprise that then got attention.
Do you think it's appropriate to write abuse on customers cups?
Of course not but I also don’t think it’s news.
they should have put the barista on paid leave for 6 months and then returned her to duty
Or promoted her.
I don't know. Isn't it? Have to say I see much lesser things in the news and online.
That said it doesn't interest me. The Starbucks member of staff should be disciplined for being unprofessional and that's that really.
here's some news
Well yea but there being other stuff that shouldn’t be on the news doesn’t mean this should be.
It never needed to become public.
I read a bit about this recently as it’s where I live. Seems they were late booking evidence on numerous occasions but it don’t appear as if they never booked it.
It’ll be interesting to see how this shakes out.
Shouldn't be doing this as a cop, and I wouldn't trust him with people at all, but... this was kinda satisfying.
Recent shooting in Hollywood. Very scary stuff. The incident briefing hasn’t been released yet but it’s one of the clearest justified shootings you’ll find.
Las Vegas airport shooting debrief. This one is a bit more controversial with more talking points.
Correct. Doesn't change what a cnut the guy was being either.
He really proved he’s not a bitch by attacking a guy handcuffed to a chair. What a hero.
Does every job stop people's pay when they investigate an employee for misconduct? I see it mentioned often on here and assume the general consensus is that many believe you should be suspended without pay during an investigation in any job you undertake?
Are the american cops really that stupid they do not know they have a body cam installed?
I think big city cop has their own alonso harris squad, and pretty understandable. This level of feckwittery is mind boggling.
They cant be that stupid..can they?

Uncomfortable to watch. Although the suspect really is someone who should be euthanized. Don't need scum like that on the planet.
Police personnel are investigated all the time for many things. Even for a justified use-of-force or shooting, it's common practice to get investigated and sometimes even get sent home on "administrative leave" until the investigation is complete. Until the officer is officially terminated, they will get paid. It's always interesting reading/watching news of police incidents and it's always mentioned that "the officer is on paid leave", and the outrage that follows.
Relax. I'm friendly with all of the Starbucks staff at my local. It's a chain-wide code for Police In Gratis. Go ask for a free drink at a Starbucks and I guarantee this same code will be on the cup.
