Cop in America doing a bad job, again

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023...y-to-charges-of-torturing-two-black-men-in-us

What makes this case worse is that a neighbour complained about two black men staying at a white womans house. The white woman in question is a childhood friend of the men and paralysed since she was 15. One of the two was helping her as her carer.

Police broke into the house, put a gun in the mouth of one of the men and pulled the trigger. Also assualted them with a sex toy etc. Just nuts.

Sick bastards. Imagine letting these imbeciles have weapons, never mind putting them in charge of enforcing the law.

That's such an insane story.

Elward pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for shoving a gun into Jenkins’s mouth and pulling the trigger, releasing a bullet that lacerated his tongue, shattered his jaw and exited through his neck.

How the feck is this aggravated assault and not attempted murder?!?
 


The man, according to police, was not responsible for the hit-and-run. However, police said he has been charged with disorderly conduct, resisting, and obstructing an officer. The female who was with him also received the same charges, and possession of marijuana.

So they see a black family minding their own business, with the man holding his baby, physically drag him away from the table, pull the baby away from him, wrestle him to the ground and repeatedly punch him in the head, all because they were looking for a black guy and saw one and didn’t care to check it was the right person, and now they’re charging him and his wife.

feck the police.

Came to post this story. Something out of movie. Or just something out of America.

The cops called themselves “goon squad”. I mean..
 
Shooting someone for fleeing a non-violent crime (which you can't even be sure they're guilty of) is an insane decision. It's just murder.
It's just as stupid when there were dangerous, high speed car chases after non-violent crime offenders. Thankfully those have been somewhat curtailed.

It's the 'feared for my life' executions like this one that need to be reduced.
 
I mean obviously the content of the texts and the officers actions are gross. But, I will never understand why in the world these people can think they can just admit crimes and be as racist a they want to be IN WRITING? With all those other co workers. They must have really thought that the whole office was just of the same racist mind and they were that insulated and comfortable to put it all out there.

I mean I always treat work communications like SOMEONE WILL read this eventually.

What to you expect from racist? they are usually not that bright for starters. Also, you don't need to check how you write at work if you are not a fecking racist asshole
 
I got pulled over for speeding last night and the RCMP officer was kind enough to let me off with a warning. He didn't even contemplate shooting my dog.
 
Eh? :wenger:

Please elaborate.....

From the tweet the underlying story is that they are banning the use of prone restraints, chokes are already banned..

When you need to detain someone the police obviously have to use the appropriate amount of force for the risk, I think using what are called Graham factors.

Essentially prone restraint is one of the lowest uses of force for when there is a risk to officer safety, or risk of flight or resistance to use of cuffs for the purpose of applying the handcuffs.

By banning them it would be considered a risk to officers, from a safety perspective, a financial perspective both for their jobs and risk of litigation and criminally if it becomes excessive force, and thinking about it increase the likelihood of using more severe force against violent arrestees. I wouldn't want to work in those conditions. To restrain a person who is actively resisting on your own without their face being on the ground at some point seems like more trouble than I'd be willing to put up with for a job.

I say this as someone who watches a ton of police excessive force videos and physically hates aggressive over the top policing. Its just a logical conclusion to what was within the story.

They are children, in school.
 
They are children, in school.

That's why there's the objectively reasonable standard.

Not all children are prepubescent, and weapons exist. Plus prone restraint is again, minimal use of force in a lot of scenarios. However I'm sure it's a feeling for you so no changing your opinion, so crack on, the police just want to choke babies
 
It still blows my mind there's a need for police in schools in the first place.

That's exactly why I asked him to elaborate.

Cheers for the lengthy reply, I kind of guessed that your reply would be something like it was. Although I think the Police were more just looking for any reason to not be at the schools in the first place and this gave them the out they were looking for.

Oh, and I definitely think a fair few of them just really want to choke kids.
