Cop in America doing a bad job, again

I've seen this before, twat 100.
Exactly, no love for thieves. And that's coming from a reformed thief.
He's Welsh, they're not real.
Nah, he was being a dick. She was being professional. He demanded to speak to a supervisor, so it's not the officer's fault the incident prolonged more than it needed to. The only "corruption" I see is the man using his status with the "You know who I am?" line people in power commonly use, to get special treatment and cry wolf when they don't. Mind you I know nothing about that man or his politics.
The next time you get pulled by the Police you demand to speak to a supervisor and see what response you get. I almost want to give you my email address in case this ever happens.
And in fairness to him, if you're going to put him under 'special pressure' he deserves 'special treatment'. Only fair.
If there's misconduct or serious unprofessionalism then I will.
Explain what you mean by special pressure.
Explain how this video of a non-violent interaction ended up on the internet.
You seem to know more of the backstory and context than me. But if you can't answer then I'll take a guess: Wealthy and powerful man uses his political office/status to think he's above the law and act like a dick to an officer doing her job professionally.
If you’re going into the psychology of it, then looking at those other jobs, the dangers are based around the conditions (machinery, driving, drowning, falls, etc) policing is the only one on there where a good sized portion of the cause of death is another person making a conscious decision to kill them for the job they do.
I thought this was a bit of satire at first, but you actually do believe he was acting perfectly reasonable and she was doing something wrong?
I had the exact same reaction as you.
Ditto. I think we already had this posted and discussed months ago, right?
Yeah, I think I posted it as it came out of Sarasota.
I remember it as the Guy being a dick and absolute chauvinist. At the end didn’t the females cops supervisor basically throw her under the bus? I think the asshole “apologized” too.
I get that some situations can be viewed from different viewpoints and people reach different conclusions, or take different things from it. Some things I just have a hard time believing we’re watching the same thing when someone has a take like that.
One of the biggest complaints we have right now is not feeling supported etc from management. Not when something is done that’s wrong/illegal etc, but just on day to day activity and enforcement. Her video shows he’s lying about her not being “yes sir” from the beginning, and about who became confrontational first etc.
I have a sergeant who today told me he appreciates the felony warrant arrests, (on top of the other 15 misdemeanor warrant arrests and dui arrests) but he’d prefer me to write more tickets instead.
Is that for revenue generating reasons?
As for the first point I would say that is a common theme across all industries. I’ve had good managers, but often times the layer above has a distinct difference in opinion as to what I should be doing and shit flows downhill, so….
Well his angle is to lower the mileage death rate, but a couple of months ago I made a stop on a vehicle with the driver not wearing a seatbelt, obviously a safety risk which could contribute directly to the mileage death rate…and the car happened to be stolen, the driver had a felony warrant, and one of the passengers had four misdemeanor warrants. He called me in his office and told me I should make better decisions and he said we should have been reactive that day and not proactive. So at this point I’m not sure what he wants

Be reactive, not proactive. Waffling on what he wants. Poor man management. Is your supervisor Ole?
If I'm there I think nothing wrong. In a country where any imbecile can have a gun, a police officer sees a man bend over the counter and gets something while the employ is not looking. Good job imo. Said sorry after too.
I swear that people that get mega offended at these things never actually lived in the US let alone worked or know people that work in PD.
I feel Ole at least had things going well for a period of time. I’ve already banged in my transfer request.
Wait till you hear where @calodo2003 is from
Sorry but my dislike of police means I have to side with the fat stupid man. If they want assault rifes and tanks with tax payers money then they at the very least they should all be treated with contempt and wasting their time is a good thing.
If anything he was too nice towards her.
If anything he was too nice towards her.
Or the origin story of his tagline
thanks for the unbiased, logical, and completely reasonable feedback.
It’s sketchy. It speaks to a far bigger issue.
It’s not as though I’m a random poster on this thread. A quick rotate of the smart phone gives up my location.
That said, we have a perfect game alert. Rasmussen is through 8.3 innings as clean as can be.
Solid jinx post
Maybe so, I'm not sure what that bigger issue is. But having an officer ready to defend a store is not a problem for me. It was a mistake here and some level of stress too. But if you bend over the counter, it looks bad.
Nah because I fecked up. 7.3 innings. Now 8.
Tens of fans at the Trop are going crazy.
Disproportionate use of force is a systemic issue of policing in the US, hammers seeing everything as nails.
I understand. It was IMO just the correct move to end a potential bad situation without any harm. He showed the gun and made it know he is a Police Officer.
Again, being a policeman in the US is very different to Europe. In Europe you would never see this but here fire arms are ilegal. The police force in the States are under a vastly different state of danger and stress. We can not judge them based on what the Japanese or German force would do.
Nor do I. I have to live among them.
And by the way, if you go to Japan, I would advice you to be on your best behavior. Mega polite in the initial stages. If you do the "American" thing and start to argue, not good. You want to see police with little time, see Japan or even Germany.
In that incident, what did she do that she deserved him acting “too nice” towards her? Or is this one of those blanket statements that she’s a police officer so therefore (insert general statement here)?
