Cop in America doing a bad job, again
- Thread starter Sigma
- Start date
To be fair to officer Nick, he took it pretty well.
Its like watching a Tarantino film
More like Keystone cops
Well, that’s not good.
It’s strange that you can get fired for this, but not killing unarmed people.
You should really get fired for both.
How are fecking thugs like this moron in law enforcement. Don't they screen people before they give 'em a badge?
There's plenty more of them, he's just dumb enough to
1 - say what he thinks out loud
2 - be video'd while saying it.
I'm still hoping.
We have shitty cops and cops unfortunately the shitty ones are always the ones making the headlines from the wrong reason, but to be fair the media only shows the shitty ones doing something stupid and the “good cop” only when they got shot and killed.
Like I've said before, I don't see the need to point out there are good cops as that goes without saying imo. It's like pointing out there are good humans everytime one of us does something bad.
I won't stop anyone from doing it tho it's their prerogative...
Why would the media show cops doing their job?
If anything, you should be lucky that the media doesn’t show the shitty cops who don’t shoot and kill someone, because there’s plenty more cops who are racist, sexist, abuse their power etc.
How many good cops look the other way when a shitty cop misbehaves?
Makes me physically sick you're making a joke of that poor dead hostage. Shame on you.
Think that's a little short sighted and very subjective.
You can't simply refuse to acknowledge good work as you expect it. It doesn't really work like that, especially when you're talking about extremes.
Seems more like she's rejecting the idea that bad coverage needs to be balanced out by saying "but there are also good cops", especially since what we're seeing is only the more blatant wrongs committed by police. Yes, there are good cops, they make up the majority of police. But, the way I see it, if they feel like they're being treated unfairly, they need to step up and help rid the force of the scum that are contributing to that.
Why would the media show cops who are doing their jobs?
Make no mistake, cops take an oath to protect and serve, and are civil servants who are paid by tax dollars, correct?
Therefore it’s in the public interest to know and understand the practices they undertake when it comes to killing civilians and abusing their power.
It’s not in the public interest to see when a cop does a good job, because we all assume that cops do a good job. It’s not refusing to acknowledge their work, it’s just redundant.
Highlighting bad cops doesn’t take away the work of good cops.
But until there are no bad cops, then frankly long may the exposure continue.
It just came across as why should the media show the Police just doing what is expected of them. As if saving lives and doing exceptionally good things is the norm when it shouldn't just be taken for granted.
Obviously I can see that's not what was meant now.
the media never shows when roofers put shingles in the right spot, they only care about roofs when they leak or when someone falls off of them
When people bemoan the lack of coverage of police doing good deeds do they ignore every other example we see to the contrary? We have articles in papers, sections on the news, documentaries, true life TV shows, cop shows, movies etc...
You'd think the only thing we ever see is bad police.
You'd think the only thing we ever see is bad police.
Agreed. Positive portrayals of police are everywhere in the media. Just because the media doesn't have a report on Joe Cop in Franklin, Missouri stopping a tractor thief doesn't mean people only get to see the bad cops doing bad things.
Haven’t seen their reasoning yet. Crickets.....
Skiz, are you highway patrol as well?
I am.
The attempt by the other officer to separate them was laughable.
Police academies/education in the US are laughably short in some states, as short as 3 months IRC, and most of that time is spent on the firing range and drilling them in dangerous scenarios. They lack proper screening and get feck all training in how to handle situations without the use of force/threats
Why? If you say funding, why?
To be honest i have no idea why its like that
Just played this in roll call this morning. Thank God they're alive. I wonder if the POS was on something other than marijuana.
Did they catch him in the end or is he still at large ?
He was caught and found guilty

What a complete and utter mess that is. They are lucky to be alive.
1:17 the hooks would have gone in and lights out
Edit. He's clearly on Amphetamine

How would you have handled this one ?
The reality is that poorer cities/counties/states can't afford a healthy number of officers that are adequately trained and equipped. It costs a lot of money just to hire 1 officer. The recruiting, testing, application process, backgrounds process, academy training and staffing for x amount of months, field training and equipping the officer with uniform and all tools. It all adds up. And that's only assuming the officer doesn't fail or disqualify up to that point.
Politics also plays a part. If the mayor or whoever promises to increase number of officers, the larger departments will do a mass-hiring spree, and there are more chances of "questionable" recruits getting through just to meet the numbers goal.
It all seemed to go wrong around the tasering. I don't think they should have eased off that until he was safely detained.
Did he have two guns on him or did he pick up the second when he went back to the car? I saw them throw one away earlier on?
Depending on the above (as I'm not sure) at 1:17 I'd of put in my hooks and applied a rear naked choke and body triangle.
That shorter cop didn't seem very switched on.
