Cop in America doing a bad job, again
- Thread starter Sigma

How stupid do you have to be to be caught on your own camera.
Edit: Guess these are just ‘a few bad apples’ though so it’s alright
I wonder if a good samaritan can plant some kiddie porn on officer Erickson' personal computer.

It's honestly a wonder there hasn't been a second revolution in the US, a real one this time. American police forces are so unbelievably fecked up.

District Attorney Michael McMahon said in March 2020 his office "takes all accusations of police misconduct seriously and in response to Legal Aid’s assertions at that time, formed an independent committee last year to conduct a review" of cases involving Erickson from February 2018 onwards.
A team of five prosecutors in the district attorney's office did a "thorough review of Officer Erickson's cases" and concluded that nothing in the body cam footage showed he had "acted criminally."
"However, the committee also unanimously reached the conclusion that Officer Erickson did not follow the NYPD’s guidelines, and other best practices, regarding the use of body worn cameras. As a result, RCDA made a series of recommendations in an April 2019 letter to the NYPD that Officer Erickson receive additional training in these areas," McMahon said.
McMahon wrote in that letter to Staten Island commanding officers, "the review found on multiple occasions Officer Erickson turned on his [body cam] late, or on occasion, not at all." He also wrote narration comments like Erickson saying "we have to find something" could be "taken out of context" and "misconstrued."

He’s kneeling on her neck & tasing her stomach; what is wrong with that country? Protect & Serve.
The by any mean necessary policing needs to stop. The thought process that he had drugs on him & they got them eventually so any actions prior are justified is disgusting.
Thank you Sgt. Javier.
Where are our resident cops on this one or do we have to wait and see if that unborn child had a warrant????
Police in the United States are a criminal gang, and now with their support for the orange gimp are borderline terrorist organization. There are no good cops when this shit happens multiple times a week.
I thinkt there is an estimated 800.000 police officers in the US. I'm all for calling out basically corrupt cops and imposing body cams on all US cops, but personally I don't think it's fair lump all cops in with the worst ones.
Why not? I think we've gone past the point of giving the good cops a pass. They know this shit is happening every single day and they do nothing about it. And now some of them are so butt hurt they refuse to answer calls in solidarity with the bad ones. feck them and the little dick tank they rode in on.
Well that's still lumping a whole lot people together. Like I said, I am all for rooting out the bad apples, and I actually think that bodycams and technology is making it easier to document police brutality, but if I was a decent cop knowing that the average cop is being demonized in a country full of violence where there is a higher number of guns pr. capita than in any other country, I would certainly find myself another job. But I agree, if cops aren't calling other cops they know are corrupt, then they are not good cops.
They need to be lumped together. Signaling out the bad cops internally puts the good cops in serious danger, its corrupt to its core. This is a criminal gang operating as a public service. Murder, assault, rape, child endangerment, robbery, falsifying police reports, planting evidence and the list goes on and on and on. While this system persists there are no good cops because they refuse most of the time to acknowledge their own criminality.
Okay, so we lump them all together and say all policemen in the US "are" pigs. What happens now? Who do you call when a crime happens or when there is a shooting?
If they’re the ones committing the crimes and the shootings I wouldn’t be calling them.
Not all cops are bad but there seems to be a code of silence with them that allows bad cops to get away with shit.
That needs to end and the police Union needs to understand what their role is; and it’s not to protect bad cops.
Bad cops should be barred from serving in any police force too so they can’t just jump from one Dept to another when they’re found out.
Make the police union pay the legal fees when bad cops screw up. In an instant you’ll see better behaviour.
Well as a non-American I'm not going to act like i'm highly educated on the issue, but it's not like Cops are the only ones doing all the crimes and shooting. In the 3 last weekends in Chicago there has been around 270+ shootings. It boggles the mind to think how many violent crimes there is around the whole country. Anyway on reforming the police, I'm for whatever works, but i'm not going to pretend I am educated on the topic.
"Make the police union pay the legal fees when bad cops screw up. In an instant you’ll see better behaviour."
If this works I am all for it, but I'm not going to pretend I have any deep insight into policing in the US. I think it's all worth remembering(i'm not talking about excusing police brutality) that the policemen in the US right now are probably also stressed out by the Co-vid19 crisis and how it might effect their economy and their health as well and that the hostility against cops since the death of George Floyd is somewhat more serious in a country rife with guns. With all the talk of defunding the police, I think there certainly are more them thinking about switching careers and perhaps that is part of the solution I don't know.
Where's the first degree murder charge? If the woman had a late term abortion Republicans would be lining up to throw the switch. Yet that's exactly what this pig did.
Sadly, this has been the case for decades. There's a reason why people are saying burn the whole thing down and start again.
You call the fecking police and they come and do what they get paid to do. What's so hard to understand? Is it ok for a public service to refuse because the public are calling for reform.
Any police officer who refuses to respond to a call should be fired there and then and have their pensions stripped. These aren't fecking plumbers and it's not a private club.
You can guarantee though that if it was an impaired or mentally ill POC 15 of them would be rolling up hoping for some action.
A silent cop is a complicit cop. Anyone that doesn’t raise their hand against wrong doings from fellow officers is ‘a bad cop’.
Great post.
It’s a tough job but no one is forced to do it; it’s a necessary public service that has forgotten to actually serve the public in a number of instances.
The fact the first thing you hear is how unsafe the job is for the police & not how important their job is to protect the neighbourhoods they police in is telling. They’re riled up & sent into communities they don’t generally reside in with the biggest chip on their shoulders. Do the job.
You never heard of hyperbole?
We lump together people all the time. "All politicians are x", "All lawyers are y", "All bankers are z" etc
Difference is bad cops ruin or take lives, 'good cops' who are aware of colleagues who are bad & do nothing, are also bad.
If We had a "Cops in America doing a good job" thread with "a detective succesfully solving a murder case" going viral, the picture might be a bit more nuanced but I've seen Dexter, so I doubt it ever happens.
You're conflating a detective doing their job, with cops who not only fail to do their job but in a lot of cases kill or, use their power to abuse civilians.
There doesn't need to be a balance, nor do the good cops need pity. There needs to be no bad cops.
Look I'm not trying to excuse police brutality or corruption. I would agree with the fact that whistleblowing seems to punished is probably one of the biggest reasons things aren't better than they are now.
I do believe paying legal fees, fines, and settlements from pension funds and union coffers would go a long ways to reform. It's one thing for leaders and colleagues to keep quiet when it doesn't affect their pockets and retirement, but start chipping away at that and change will occur (there's still so much more involved in true reform, however). Especially when one's dues increase and/or one gets closer to retirement and notices his/her projected retired pay is $3750/month but six months later it's $3630/month after the city/county settled a $6.2M wrongful death suit.
I’ve been saying that for a while now. When shit gets real and their pensions take a hit there’ll be changes. Until then it’s all just talk.
What am i missing with the hakim littleton incident? The video i seen he shot at cops and they returned fire.
Is there another video i havent seen?
Is there another video i havent seen?
Not missing anything. He did shoot point-blank at the officer’s head and thankfully missed.
We have lots of those programs and they are usually cold cases. I don't know if they are decent cops in these shows but it's those couple of cases that they can't and won't let go of. With a little help and fresh eyes they show new lines of inquiry leads to people of interest. They are so sad to watch and I'm always astounded by the lengths people go to for a bit of insurance cash.
But just look at the amount of rape kits that went and still go untested. It's things like these that highlight the bullshit and that's without going in to the legal system.This isn't just about violence, it's about destroying lives and not doing enough to bring justice or help victims heal.
Rotten to the core and it doesn't have to be. A majority do a fantastic job, an important job but it's not enough right now.They are the abusive spouse and the public are the abused. They could have all the resources possible with complete faith in them by the public. They don't, and to show they don't care they came out to bash skulls of people, 99% unarmed, during a time of international protest in solidarity of people if color, yet a few weeks before ignored a majority white public demanding haircuts and grass seed during a pandemic lockdown while brandishing high powered weaponry.
The police in America have pinned their flag to a mast that the world wants to tear down. Their recruitment should reflect that. They also need to man up and get over the fact that not everyone wants to kill them. Empathy and an understanding that if a person is dragged in to the legal system over something minor it tends not to be pretty and very fecking expensive. The public has a right to be pissed sometimes and not be spoken down to by cops. And credit where it's due, I do see a lot of higher rank officers showing the same frustration as us but then the union steps in to defend the indefensible and we are back to square one, making excuses that a grown man whose only authority is a badge bestowed to him by us the public, is ok to electrocute a pregnant woman in the stomach.
They are not a private entity or security company. They are employed by us and should act as such. If my local fire department refused to answer emergency calls in protest because my municipality had an issue with their hiring practices would we have a problem? I would say so. Should police who say they fear for their life get to execute or seriously assault unarmed people for minor crimes and misdemeanors that should be handled by a legal system? I say no fecking way. Do the job, protect and serve.
It's crazy situations like this where you guys have full support. How much of a dirt bag do you have to be to do that while surrounded by police.
Surprised that the cop hasn’t been strung up on a murder charge for the fetus miscarriage. Don’t recall what my home state’s stance is on that, but the hurdles would be massive if the woman needed to abort the baby due to her health.
Republicans are going to be very conflicted on this one. It'll all come down to whether the fetus was wearing a facemask or not.
Good to know I guess.
He was on probation for robbery and weapons charges, and had gang ties along with the other individuals arrested at the scene.
Not reporting a crime is a crime which causes serious harm or death is a crime itself in some states. Which would make a lot of police officers criminals themselves.
In any case it is obvious by now that the bad apples cannot exist without the police having a corrupt culture, we know its not a few bad apples anyway, if you don't know this you have your head buried in the sand.
Unfortunately law enforcement needs a complete overhaul. Lets not even get into the shenanigans of the DA and prosecution offices not turning over evidence to the defence etc etc. The whole system, is corrupt to its core.
Its a bit silly because if you look into how the police system came into existence you would understand it wasn't to protect and serve.
Who do you call when there is a shooting? Well that there is the problem, it should be a police force you can trust and that right now is not the case.
