If the cop was 300 pounds Iike many I could understand not wanting to run after this guy and shooting him first to even the race, but this is not the case here.Quote:

Cops using excessive forve, lying, and getting away with it is an age-old problem. It may not seem like it lately but we are in the process of fixing this problem. Video is taking these fucks down. Here's some resources: http://www.copblock.org/apps/
End the war on drugs and put a camera on every cop and most of the problem would be fixed.Quote:

The job has definitely gotten more complicated and dangerous since Andy and Barnie were keeping the peace.
what about the increased rules, fines and punitive actionsQuote:

Then a block further in downtown Seattle three Homeland Security Cops walking along the sidewalk drinking Starbucks dressed like they're ready to invade Yemen after fast roping out of a Stealth helicopter.
Fuck 'em.
You know, you can think better when you aren't spitting and squeezing your eyes shut while you type. What has me worried is that one of the hot spring color combos is black and white. Keep thinking the "magic silver bullet", one size fits all, no cost, one ski quiver, place the blame, type of solution is to be found. You keep on just getting wet, ya hear?
Simply not true. Don't believe the propaganda.Quote:

The perception of danger in American society has no logical connection to actual danger. Big Macs and a sedentary lifestyle will kill more people than criminals, terrorists, and cops combined. Driving is the most dangerous thing most people will ever do, yet few even give it a second thought.
Well, they do. But only after they look up from their phone. I walk to work and it's fucking terrifying sometimesQuote:

Let me rephrase. Being a cop the most dangerous job - To Us. Which is the real concern to me. Because of ever increasing mental cases on the loose, Crazy Drug de Jour, More poor under more pressure with more guns on everyone, a cop today is on high alert for larger portion of his day. Edgy cops=itchy trigger fingers. My nephew left a Game Warden job with all of the outdoor perks the become a cop in a small city in Utah. Said it had better hours and would be much safer. EVERYONE he stopped as a warden was armed and. I should give him a call for his insight.
PNWbrit - Are you nuts!!??!! Honking your horn? In Seattle? At a cop who might be working off his PTSD or RoidRage? You might as well have tossed an M-80 out your window to get his adrenaline to spike and notice you. A car horn has to be the most unnatural sound in the Emerald City. I've lived here 3 years and have only heard a car horn honk 5 times. 3 by me and once by my wife.
Do you look both ways before you cross the street? I don't see being done much. Especially in Bellevue. It sounds like you are a rarity that does look. But that's another thread.Quote:

In total, the suicides per year are pretty close to overall officer deaths in the line of duty. And many deaths in the line of duty are preventable. The most recent police death in the line of duty was a freshman who flipped his car trying to administer a traffic violation. Take the shitty police decision making out of this situation and nobody dies.
Police Officer: Juandre Gilliam
Jeanerette Police Department, Louisiana
End of Watch: Tuesday, April 7, 2015
https://www.odmp.org/officer/22458-p...uandre-gilliamQuote:
Police Officer Juandre Gilliam was killed in a crash during a vehicle pursuit at approximately 10:30 pm.
A vehicle he was attempting to stop for a traffic violation fled, and he pursued it onto St. Peter Street where his vehicle overturned near Route 182. Officer Gilliam was extricated from the vehicle and transported to Iberia General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Both occupants of the vehicle, one adult and one juvenile, were arrested a short time later.
Officer Gilliam had served with the Jeanerette Police Department for two years but had only graduated from the police academy three weeks prior to the crash.

Well, I guess we just have to fire more bad cops and hire fewer bad cops. The one thing I hear very little of is what the good cops are saying. But they don't talk much on line to civilians I guess. From what I have heard is that a lot ore the result of poor decisions by cops with poor training.
The way the system is set up, very difficult to fire a bad cop. If it does happen, they will just get picked up by another department. Not to many good cops will take the risk to speak out against bad cops. Also the way the system is set up there are not enough consequences for bad behavior. Cops/lawyers/DA's/judges can be a pretty tight group. People are getting fed up with a lot of their bullshit. It's getting a bit tougher for them to justify their actions when caught on tape. Still long ways to go. They murdered Eric Garner. All caught on tape and they still got off.
Broken systems produce lots of bad cops and the good cops can't speak out against the bad. The culture is almost universally problematic.Quote:

Amazing the guy was shooting 45 acp and it took so many rounds.
You referring to Walter Scott, the guy who took a clip in the back because he was wanted for not paying his child support? So brilliant to kill him and let the taxpayers pay multiple millions to his kids in the civil settlement, which will be hudge. That'll teach those deadbeat dads. Y'all got targets on your backs now, mutherfukkers! This violation is not much of a step above unpaid speeding tickets. I bet we hear about some poor sap getting blown away for parking too close to a hydrant soon.Quote:

Please read your own quote and explain to me how we didn't comprehend you correctly. You are specifically saying here that this case is not a good one to champion human rights violations/police brutality. This case is about as good gets with NO arguements.Quote:

Yes and no. He emptied most shots pretty haphazard. Then he paused to sight in on the object of his traffic stop, and executed the man.Quote:

You know, cases where douchebag lawyers and crooked DA's wouldn't have an opportunity to make a bullshit defenses and get away with murder.
As I stated earlier, "Not saying they deserved what they got", but when you see enough of these corrupt assholes walk because they had a hair to hang on to, it irks me this poor bastard gave them anything.
Ploice chief says its just one bad cop, meanwhile 3 cops on the scene reported that they administered cpr and aid to the victim. Blatant lies. Second cop watches first cop drop the taser near the victim. yeah....that'll play nicely with the story they were going to concoct.

A lot of the jobs listed on that most dangerous job list don't provide the pay and benefits many cop jobs do, they certainly don't get the hero worship.
It seems like you took my point kinda backwards but hey.
what the Amazing Geraldo has to say on the matter. I don't know I spent most of the time watching his moustache. I think his moustache might be good candidate for a Muppet character.
I'm also thinking that the ONLY reason the woman in the evocatively revealing short skirt is there is for the inherent sex appeal.
Horse thief. Iffn there was a tree big enough, they woulda hanged him.
Seriously, these cops are feloniously stupid to do that with a news copter overhead
