Cop in America doing a bad job, again

Hmmm. It's fine sometimes to just say, 'oops, misinterpreted what was put there.'

I replied to someone else, you've responded to my reply, and then assumed everything I've posted was directed at you. Whatever.

I see that you don't want to let it go because you think that you "win" something. I simply left it because you didn't get it and I know where you were confused. But I didn't want to make this a petty discussion. But what the hell. Lets go

I interpret you perfectly fine. yes. I jump to your comment and I wanted to remark. Is how a forum works. Is not a private conversation. And you put one remark to the person you quoted and and then yo put the same remark to me quoting me. So no, it was not about him but to me as well.

More petty discussion coming I reckon?

“Whatever” implies the exact opposite.

Because I was talking about that person. I make a comment. You question comment. I clarify comment. You think the target of my comment suddenly changes to you. So yes. You have misinterpreted.

But lets say what is said about the police. To serve and protect. Some they do, some they do more than others. Very few goes further than that and not few do the opposite (though is a matter of perception)

So in this perception do you have actual numbers of “few goes further” and “not few do the opposite?” Or is it just kind of based loosely on what you think?

You critizied people that criticize the policiçe in thus thread. And you implied that they dont do it in a constructive way. And said that they say they are a buch of moçurderous gang of rapist. If soneone said that, it scaped my read. And certainly wasn't more than 1. So is a straw man falkacy. Then i am some if the ones that criticize the police that means i feel interpelled at you wrong generalization. So i said no. I didnt musinterpret a thing

Nope. Your turn to say yes and ad infinitum. Halurray to petty discussions on boring times

any official numbers that if i would bother trying to do some research would be wrong if how we see, is quite difficult to file a claim and they protect each other dont you think?

I guessing you've been drinking. Escaped you? It's about 80% of the thread. :lol: Why just flat out lie?
 
@4bars some of us can see the point you are trying to make. Unfortunately there are those that never will.... Probably should move on.

Dont drink much alcohol. Thanks for another fallacy. You are an expert. As @afrocentricity says ill leave ot here. You win. Hail yo you

:lol: Alright fella. Sometimes it's just OK to admit you misinterpreted something as opposed to rambling on, kidding no one. I see Skizzo has come up against the same nonsense. Bye.

You think Choi and Skizzo wouldn’t like to see that happen? I’m really not surprised they become exasperated in this thread. It seems the driving force of a select few here is to paint the police as as a raging, mass murdering, corrupt bunch of rapists. It’s bizarre that this sweeping generalisation seems to be perfectly acceptable, but not within other areas of society. It’s such a strange level of devotion.

You think we don't know there are good cops inside the force?

Of course there are a lot of good cops, but that doesn't erase the fact that institutional racism and corruption within the US police is completely real.

I hope Skizzo and Choi would like to see the corruption and racism swept away from the police. They could do a lot in that regard, been inside the force, and i hope they are doing it (posting "good cops" videos here is not it).

This is the "US coppers doing a bad job" thread, and it exist for good reasons.

In the same vein, is anyone in here doing anything besides posting videos and complaining about racist, murdering coppers? Posting them to a UK based football team Internet forum probably only does so much to impact US based police policies.

I’d argue that for all the grief we get for posting in here, we do more than most of the ones who find our presence so antagonizing :)
 


I'll await the spin and justifications of these 'isolated' incidents.

Sorry, posted already but still a good watch.

We have plenty users from the United States. You never know who might be reading, could be the one who gonna change it all. (also, usually the videos posted here are from twitter, so it's an international audience one click away)

Raising the issues and keeping the discussion alive is good enough. Sharing information and creating awareness can only be a good thing.

I personally don't have antagonizing feelings towards you. Appreciate your input/insights. I "like" good cop videos in Twitter if I came across one, and if you want to keep posting them here, fair enough, but don't expect a parade for it, at least until the bad cops are a thing of the past.

I agree in theory, but scroll back through the last few pages and what kinds of good things come from that? If it opens up discussion then I see the benefit, but any comments other than blindly agreeing with the majority are shouted down and met with comments ranging from comparing all cops to just covering for each other, being called boot lickers, or just being told we’ll never understand :rolleyes:

I wasn’t intending to call you out personally for it, and i don’t harbor any ill will against anyone in here as I know it’s coming from a good place to try and solve something which is a major issue.

Watching that, it's no surprise that the american public have no trust in their police force. You have to wonder how stupid all the officers are as well, just do what every other organisation does if they don't care about complaints, but wants to appear to. Give a form and then put it straight into storage never to be looked at.
 


Tweet is a thread.

This historian has a 55-tweet thread that breaks down exactly what went down:



Also there's this article from a few years ago:

https://mashable.com/2016/01/10/1985-move-bombing/?europe=true

The only person to go to jail was one of the victims of the bombings, charged for "inciting a riot"

A police officer who saved one of the victims life was forced to leave due to harassment from his fellow colleagues including writing "N-word lover" on his locker.
 
Can somebody explain to me how a major institution is allowed to so openly, flagrantly and so repeatedly disregard the very same laws, principles and ethics that it is supposed to represent and not be held accountable to any meaningful extent?

it's is a young country that was founded on genocide and slavery, which got rich through funding wars and later starting wars across the world. Major and consistent crimes against humanity are the bedrock of american justice.

Lets compensate with a couple of vudeos of white policemen getting off the car to randomly play with black kids and everytjing is forgiven...or so some people think

There really is nothing good about that country. Their police are just the worst. Disgraceful. And to think these are just the stories we hear about or are fortunately captured on camera.

Hey that’s not fair...



There’s black policemen too.

And to mix it up a little for you before it goes stale, here’s something a little different too!

While it certainly looks like a case of mistaken identity and the police fecked up, the guy didn’t do himself any favors there imo. Things could have turned out much worse if a trigger-happy cop was involved.

It’s just poor all round on his behalf. He can ask for ID on the gentleman, but since he wasn’t under arrest, he didn’t have to provide it. Without having a good ID of him, he can’t validate that he’s the man from the warrant. Why he persisted at that point seems more just like he dug himself into a hole and rather than admit a mistake, just dug his heels in.

Yes, the guy could have walked over to the car to look at the warrant and show it wasn’t him. Yes he could have provided ID and put the whole thing to rest straight away, but he’s not required to do either. Would have been nice to see what happened prior to the video picking up to see how they got to that point.

Why didn't he do himself any favours?? That was probably the 400th time he'd been approached by cops for no reason. And your last statement pretty much sums up the state of the US police. The fact that 'trigger happy' cops are even a thing in America is just fecked up.

I’m guessing the “not doing himself any favours” would be by not wanting to provide ID or go over and look at the warrant.

Or he could have been yet another person murdered by the police once he was arrested. He probably felt safer with witnesses and the camera rolling.
