Cop in America doing a bad job, again

Nonetheless, Cassidy was well off in suggesting that a poster in the minority belief was thread banned. The majority belief in this thread is along the lines of Eboue's posts. Hell, it's basically in the thread title.

On the particular conversation he had a minority belief and ended up with a thread ban as far I can tell

They all got deleted mate because we got somewhat derailed and the mods are trying to stop it turning into a farce.

We’re all guilty of acting like knobs at times and I’m no exception, so apologies if it came across that I was belittling your experiences. For cops pulling out firearms if you’re just hanging with your dog, then yeah that’s not on. It was the painting of all police with broad strokes that I took issue with.

Psycho needs to be fired and charged with at least manslaughter.
Completely insane overreaction to getting pushed by a mentally handicapped person. He even shot the parents ffs. Cowards like that should be in jail not wearing badges of authority.

He should also have Child Protective Services take away his child as clearly he is incapable of being a parent.
 
Do they carry out any mental evaluation of police officers? A lot of them just seem to be complete psychopaths.

On Reddit they joke that applicants with an above average IQ are rejected.

On a serious note, one could pass a mental evaluation and still do some crazy shit during duty, no?

They seriously do. The amount of times you see these videos of police injustice, it's not so much the brutality that stands out but the mental instability of the officers. A lot of the time they seem genuinely unstable. Antagonistic, predisposed towards violence, needlessly escalating the situation and shaking with rage.

For the love of fecking Christ.

Corona Police Chief George Johnstone said in a video statement released Tuesday that his detectives would continue to interview witnesses and evaluate video and forensic evidence from the store.

“For several reasons, including the need to interview a number of witnesses and review evidence, no arrest was made at the time of the incident,” Johnstone said, noting the chaotic scene.

I'm sure they'd do exactly the same thing if the shooter was a civilian [/extremesarcasm]

The officer should be charged with 1 count of murder and 2 counts of attempted murder.

It's murder, plain and simple.
 
Perhaps the most disturbing posts target Ocasio-Cortez. One includes a photo illustration of her engaged in oral sex at an immigrant detention center. Text accompanying the image reads, “Lucky Illegal Immigrant Glory Hole Special Starring AOC.”

Another is a photo illustration of a smiling President Donald Trump forcing Ocasio-Cortez’s head toward his crotch. The agent who posted the image commented: “That’s right bitches. The masses have spoken and today democracy won.”

Here's the thing that gets me. Police in traditionally "shit" places like south Asia, east Asia or Africa tend to be crap at their job for monetary gain (bribes), these American cops aren't even after bribes, they're cnuts for the sake of of being cnuts.

It's surely most were picked on/outcast in their youth and so became cops to wield power and control their environment. Others are sadists and assholes, always have even when popular in their youth.
 
That police culture is not exclusive of US unfortunately. People that enter to the police corps are not the smartest nor the most peaceful people of the society. Specially the latest. They are the bouncers of the rich to be protected from the "poor", paid by the "poor" themselves. Like the military. Cannon fodder for the rich to get richer

The absolute nerve of him to do it with the bodycam on means that he had no fear of prosecution. and the video just says he got fired. I dont know if he has been arrested yet.

Nope just fired. 10 people were apparently charged and the cnut only got fired. You can commit any crime you want in a uniform, getting fired is the worst that is happening it seems. He's getting heavily sued by the victims though. America is a scary place.

America may be a first world country, but it has 3rd world levels of crime culture/trends. I consider myself well-traveled, and I love to observe law enforcement across different parts of the world, and it's my observation that a country's police is a reflection of the greater society.

Yes, law enforcement has traditionally always been a blue-collar profession, although recently it's been changing (in the US at least). Why would educated or "smart" people want to become police officers, when they have dozens of "better" options that are safer and higher-paying, and not have to deal with the worst of society on a daily basis. So yeah, police and fire careers are perfect for those who are young and don't have a strong educational background, but maybe did a couple years military after high school. You can make a 6 figure salary with great benefits, great pension, civil-service protection, and have an active unpredictable non-office job? And all you need is to be 20.5 years of age and high school equivalent degree with a clean-ish background? It's not hard to figure out who in society will be attracted to that. But after the economy crashed over a decade ago, more and more people with degrees and careers in other fields have been applying to be POs (like myself). And many departments are preferring applicants with degrees, foreign-language abilities, military experience, other job experiences, etc. which is a good thing and should hopefully improve the policing culture for the better in the future.

Well, Some positive in the negative I guess. The problem is that being formally educated doesn't mean that you will not be racist. Probably there is a higher percentage on studies that I have been observing. Hopefully it will improve and that will be reflected in the lower ranks, because the more formally educated will not patrol the streets for long and will hold more responsibility roles.

Is curious that you you put the police and firemen on the same group of people. I don't know other countries but as I know many policemen in person, I know many more firemen. And all of them they have a higher formal education profile and a more likable persona in terms of ethics. I have several friends with masters and working in a good work place that they quit their good jobs to go to the fire department and they never thought for a minute to try to go to the police were most likely would earn more and have a higher rank for starters

I think what it will change the police culture is transparency and with all the cameras out there and in there, eventually they will not have any other option than to behave. But it will take so much time
 
Randomly saw this while watching a video of Amodou Diallo. Makes me fecking angry.
