He certainly does. Law enforcement needs to eradicate themselves of his type. Most cops I have had interactions with have been decent. Its the utter twats that leave a lasting impression and drag the entire image of LE down.
Cop in America doing a bad job, again

Like the doofus one in 3 Billboards...
The problem is the military style policing. There needs to be more of a focus on community policing to earn the communities trust.
The Congo? Why didn’t they ask for asylum in RSA? It’s not like they can get to Chicago directly.
Something doesn’t seem right.

They came in over the Mexico border.

Mexico is dangerous for Congolese?
His 92k salary wasn’t enough, apparently.
I think they need to modernize the law in his County. I can see a case for giving him getting a bonus based on the Sheriff departments budget performance but pocketing the entire surplus is insane. In all fairness $92k for the level of responsibility is a pretty low salary.
The issue isn't how much he gets paid - but rather he felt entitled to take money from the state for personal gain - it's a crime, surely?
I'm not really sure what the average wage for a Sheriff is - but presumably most/all public government employees are underpaid relative to the level of responsibility they have to do?
No it is not. The laws were written a long time ago when a sheriff had a lot more authority. The law is wrong but its not totally the sheriff's fault.
So he gets to keep excess taxpayers money for himself as a bonus?
Not sure how that ever became legal but it is Alabama....
Of course, it only highlights just how deep the corruption goes. The whole system is fecked.
Electing Sheriffs is another bullshit thing that America does.
It gets worse. The guy who broke the story to the press just happened to be arrested for weed possession a few days later, and the charges were briefly bumped up to include drug trafficking, which can carry a life sentence:

The Independent are reporting it now too:

Where was the mental treatment for that guy?
Ahh patience
I've never understood why we do this.
Easy, so they can be in the pockets of their biggest campaign donors.
It’s a great system, if you’re the one benefiting from it.

Holy shit
Should be fired for a few reasons and specially when the guy went to his car, should be fired because next time he may not be that lucky. My question is how kind of training they really have? Shouldn’t they learn some form of fighting to stop the guy on his tracks, also he could shoot the guy on his leg because he was so close, anyway I hope the guy realizes not everyone has the balls to be a police officer.
We have a thread to criticize the cops only and when they do a good job or died in service people and specially the media ignores them.
This week we had a police officer who stopped a kid to cause more damage (we don’t know if his intention was killing his ex-girlfriend only) then today they stopped the bomber but the media can’t wait until another black American is killed by a cop.

That's just the nature of the beast. It sells papers and gets clicks, glues people to the news, gets shares, tweets and posts on social media. We "The people" don't know any better and lap it all up.
Credit where credit is due ...but... They’re paid to do their job; “protect and serve” not shoot 1st every time they hear a noise or feel disrespected.

The most polite patient officers imaginable. I think they only dragged it out so long to make a funny video.
I imagine his academy teaches some basic hand to hand stuff. At the very least some PMA for getting people into cuffs or gain some control.
Even in a case like this when he’s close enough, shooting in the leg would be a bad idea just because it leaves too many avenues open for error. Hit a vein and he bleeds out. Miss and that bullet ends up who knows where. Shooting someone anywhere should be a last resort.
Hopefully it opened his eyes at least.
That’s part of his point though. The only stories you ever hear in the news are ones about the bad. It leads to some narrative that cops are out just killing people at will and going back to the office to compare stats for who else they harmed that day.
Even in this thread, I’ve posted stories of officers going out and trying to make a difference, or stories of officers being killed, and they get ignored or downplayed entirely.
“That’s what they signed up for” isn’t a reasonable response to an officer getting executed while working, yet it’s been thrown around in here more than once.
By all means, the bad should be put on display. It doesn’t mean the good can’t be appreciated as well.
Those sovereign citizen types are the worst
Guy was obviously drunk or high so he gets a break. That was a very long exchange with neither party losing their composure. I would have lost patience after 30 seconds.
So it isn't as big new when someone does their job as it is when they kill someone? Who knew?
