Cop in America doing a bad job, again

I really hope that guy gets fired and the Lady gets a massive payout. Though odds are nothing will happen to the cop sadly

Scary how calm he sounds after doing what he did , knowing it's being recorded. You can't separate incredible stupidity with incredible cruelty sometimes.

That was the thing that stood out to me too. You would expect some kind of "oh shit" reaction, out of either or both concern for the driver, or concern for themselves. It comes across as though even in the heat of the moment he didn't have any concern that this would look bad for him or lead to any repercussions, let alone concern for the driver.

US cops (and those that support them unconditionally) tend to have a mentality that any criminal offence, even one as innocuous as going slightly over the speed limit, deserves severe punishment.

Land of the free y'all, free to do exactly as told at all times, not have any different opinions, religious beliefs, skin colour, gender, sexual orientation etc
 
It won't surprise me if he has been involved in the death of someone. Too many American policemen are psychopaths.

In the 1st scene of the movie Dredd, the protagonist chases a group of armed robbers(?) fleeing in a van into a mall, where about 2 dozen bystanders are killed in the shootout.

I wonder what the danger to the public at large is when a cop rams a car driven by a ... pregnant woman going slightly above the speed limit.

There's no redemption for people like this, and like the caption says - you simply can't reform it either, the entire institution is broken.
The guy barely flinches or reacts ffs.
 
The reminder to "Remember: Keep it constructive" at the bottom of this thread needs to be removed. It's impossible to be rational and constructive in a 200-page thread full of irrational and unconstructive Pig behaviour.

Is vaping against the law? All their actions were smooth and clean as if it were a conveyor belt.

City ordinance I believe.

On Saturday, at approximately 8:28 p.m., officers were on foot patrol in the area of 12th Street and the Boardwalk, when they observed a large group vaping on the Boardwalk. Officers approached the group and informed them of the local ordinance prohibiting smoking and vaping outside of the designated areas on the Boardwalk.

As the group walked away, officers observed the same male start vaping again. Officers approached the group again to further address the violation. During the course of the interaction, the male refused to provide his proof of identification and became disorderly. A large crowd of people began to form around the officers. The male was later identified as Brian Everett Anderson,19, Harrisburg, PA. Officers attempted to place Anderson under arrest for failure to provide necessary identification for the violation of the local ordinance. Anderson began to resist arrest. Brian Anderson was charged with disorderly conduct, resist/interfere with arrest, assault second degree, and failure to provide proof of identity. Anderson was seen by a Maryland District Court Commissioner and released on his own personal recognizance.

I spent a summer in Ocean City Maryland. The cops there were the most pig ignorant, rude and unpleasant police I have ever had any dealings with, by a large margin.

I think a lot of them weren’t regular cops? In American towns that get large numbers of summer tourists don’t they have kind of trainee cops who help out over summer?
 
I told myself not to go in here again as watching these nutcases doing as they please just drives me mad. Well here I am again staring angrily at my laptop.

Someone on Twitter replied and said something along those lines too. About having trainee officers over the summer to help out. Which seems absolutely mental.

That was my experience. I was in my late teens and remember getting shit from bully boys in uniforms who seemed the same age as me. They came across as incredibly insecure and angry. Thankfully none of them had tasers!
 
Insane and evil. Oh, and the statement by the Sheriff is next level victim blaming.

 
“In potentially dangerous situations, deputies are often forced to make split-second decisions,” Staley said. “Second-guessing those decisions, especially when the facts are still unclear, is dangerous and unfair.”

That's the one. Not shocked it happened in Arkansas. Cops there and in Mississippi were the absolute worst. Hated driving in those places.

Beyond the cops and DA this section stood out to me:

Everett refused to testify at Crosland’s trial, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, but his earlier statement was read into the record. After Crosland’s conviction was overturned, Everett was granted immunity to testify at the second trial but recanted on the stand.

Yet Crosland was convicted again by a second jury.

You can add juries to the list of things that need to be fixed. HE RECANTED ON THE STAND and they still convicted. Anyone want to place bets on the makeup of that jury?

I hope what Krasner is doing in Philly is replicated around the country, but I will not hold my breath.
 
Crosland is the 21st person exonerated with support from District Attorney Larry Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit, which concluded that investigators had illegally concealed troubling information about the witnesses who accused Crosland and evidence pointing to another suspect.

1. This is fantastic from the DA.

2. Are the people responsible for this being investigated with a view to being charged?
 
The news writing sounds more horrible. The Chief was sneakily left a note, with a KKK coat. The video was less intense. It was a big printing, left on yellow raincoat. The later does look like more of a prank; but still a nasty one. I'm sure the Chief knew there's a CCTV there recording.

12 years. Such bullshit. I wonder how many years some of the folks he planted drugs on were facing.

The video @villain linked said one of his victims lost custody of his daughter due to the planted drugs. I can't even imagine......

And thanks to qualified immunity this asshat can't be sued and will likely keep his pension. Every asset of his should be confiscated, sold, and distributed to his victims and the pension fund should pay out as well. Instead these people will be compensated from tax dollars.
