This new evidence (gun plant, dna etc) was uncovered by the feds and I cannot for the life of me see how he can get off, the video evidence will convict him surely. If not then America is more messed up than I thought.
Cop in America doing a bad job, again
- Thread starter Sigma
- Start date
How many cops have gotten away with it by framing their victims?
A crazy number I'd imagine. This guy would have got off too only for the video evidence.
. . . and this brings us to the Oakland California police department. This is not rogue stuff, this is a (¿widespread?) culture. Unbelievable.
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/24/us/oakland-police-scandals/
Four police chiefs in 10 days. 28 police officers with allegations involving a prostitute. Five police departments ensnared in controversy. Two suicides. And one teenage girl.
This is the volatile mix that has led to a sexual misconduct scandal of epic proportions in and around Oakland, California.
If that weren't enough, it all happened while the Oakland Police Department was already under the watch of a federal monitor and compliance director.
And the scandal all began to unravel because of the words of a dead man. (cont)

We'll never know unfortunately. Intentionally framing victims and planting evidence is likely to be rare though.
It's the situations that don't involve killing people which cause more of a divide within communities tbh, and those aren't measurable by statistics.
Well we don't know, because, you know, they got away with it...
Really? You think he just happened to have that throwdown in his bag? He knew exactly what to do because this is something cops learn very early on for these kinds of situations.
Oh yeah completely agree, plus it's unlikely to have been the first time he's done it and he would've learned it off someone else who learned it off someone else etc.
But without facts this all becomes opinion-based.
I personally think one bad apple spoils the bunch if nobody is willing to remove the bad apples.
Others believe that such incidents like this are so rare, therefore they must be doing a great job as this kind of thing only affects ~6% of people, so there's an overreaction.
I'm sure some posters on here will quote some inane police laws to justify the actions of these cops.
Did you not see the Rodney King trial???
We all thought Dave Chappelle was totally joking in those sketches of his.
No. Mainly because it was 25 years ago.
I very much doubt that, completely nonsense remark delivered only for petty point scoring.
Totally different situations besides the fact that people were only pointing out the actual, you know, law in the other thread.
Hardly surprising from the poster who believes he has a monopoly on prejudice though.
Quit yer trolling and get a life. I wasn't even talking to you. How many times do people manipulate the law for their own gain? We see it all the time in all countries and all industries. Get real.
True that.Just that fact alone makes it quite sad.
Don't be so frigging ridiculous.
You destroy any credibility your general views may have when you come out with idiotic accusations like this.
I suggest that you take your own advice.
That's got nothing to do with insinuating that certain more pro police posters would seek to justify anything posted in these last pages.
Which is what you did. As usual you chat total garbage and then ignore it when pulled up on it.
As if you know a fraction of those peoples thoughts or opinions, but are happy to come in and suggest that they would seek to justify a murder because it was done by a police officer.
Much the same to telling someone they don't get a say because you've invented a race, demographic and automobile for them, you're a total joke.
If it wasn't so hateful it would be funny.

It's scary how accurate some of his most ridiculous sketches are.
I will, no problem. I knew you'd be along in no time at all.
It's almost funny how stupendously misinformed you are.
Except it's not funny at all, you're just a know-nothing troll.
It is! On his Killin Them Softly special.
also a classic.feck you made me old, was that shit 25 years ago??? I remember watching on tv a guy the damn taser didn't work (he was loaded with drugs) and then they started kicking the shit out of him, I bet the officers got a slap on their hands.
Yep 1991, I feel old too
was 3 when it happened. By all accounts King wasn't the nicest person either, think he tried to run over his wife and nearly succeeded if I remember correctly. Died at only 47.I know the precinct captain for one of the wards on the South Side of Chicago, and he says that most of the cops have just given up now. There are a few bad apples out there, but his guys are fed up with being protrayed as racist, before they've even done anything. Regardless of the socio-economic antecedents of a predominantly low-income African American demogrpahic, the fact remains that the vast majority of gun crime in the city is black on black. He claims that previously, his guys would be flying down to any calls regarding gun shots, but now, they just don't want to put themselves in harms way any more, in case they get embroiled in an incident which ends their career. As a result, shootings are up 100% in Chicago this summer.
Regardless of where you fall on the politics, and this is coming from someone who is very left leaning, anti-gun, pro civil rights etc, this is not a situation that benefits anyone. I know a lot of cops, and nearly all of them are great guys, doing very stressful jobs. The situation is becoming completely untenable out there for some of them, and I fear things are only going to get worse and worse for both sides.

I keep repeating myself but all this black/white cop situation are fabricated by the media in NC a black officer shot and killed a black man and we have riots there (riots = stealing any store)
Fabricated? Well that's obviously bollocks. But there are huge parts of the debate which are not being discussed, which would generally aide a better contextual understanding of the scope of the gun violence problem in America.
Yeah shes fecked.....you can't shoot someone because you think they have a gun.....she said she had never been more scared in her life....sounds like to me she didn't have the mentality to be a PO....definite over reaction.....once again tho, another suspect/victim ignoring police commands.....when an officer tells you to stop or put your hands up, just fecking do it! Not to excuse what she did, but if that guy obeyed her commands, none of this would of happened.
White cops are scared of black guys.
She was even standing behind Crutchers vehicle...if he did pull out a gun, she a decent amount of cover, plus the three other officers there with her....she panicked.
Yep, no business being a cop.

He should really be reporting these threats to the cops. Don't understand what he gains by not doing so.
Agreed.
Think he's handled himself remarkably well throughout this - clearly outlining the scope and purpose of his protest and at the same time being open to change and listen (going from sitting to taking a knee in order to continue to show respect for the armed forces).
Sadly a lot of people can't get past the fact he is not standing and are focusing only on that - although for them its easier to do that than to confront the actual wrongs that are taking place.
Kaep's demonstration has only riled up the very people who keep screaming patriotism, constitutional rights, freedom for all.
It's been brilliantly executed. And the very same people who continue to be angry at his actions, continue to stay silent on the reasons for his protest such as the Terrence Crutcher situation.

Not only the white cops because black and hispanic cops kill blacks (and whites/Hispanics but that's not important because they don't cause riots)
