Much as I disagree with laws against MJ I don't want a situation where the cops decided what alleged crimes they are going to respond to and which they aren't.
    That's giving the cops too much power. (Obviously the MJ laws need to change but that's another thread.) The Nazis aside, following orders is what we want cops to do, isn't it, not making up their own rules. If the orders are wrong let's deal with that.

    They were being as respectful as they could under the circumstances, didn't cause any damage I could see, didn't provoke the guy or otherwise act like assholes. I guess they could have been more apologetic. It's not always the cops. Sometimes it's the assholes who call the cops--like all those cases of white people calling the cops on black people just living their lives.

    I once had a nursing supervisor call the cops because a postop patient of mine was delerious, had pulled out all his lines and pushed his bed up against his ICU room door. Which is tough to do with fresh incisions from breast bone to pubic bone and in both groins. I sent the cops away, we calmed the guy down, and surprise he did great once the drugs wore off---the benefits of early mobilization. (A bedside nurse would never have called the cops; nurses who gravitate to management or another story.)

    Cops: Were you smoking mj?

    Stage 4 patient: No sir.

    Cops: Sorry to bother you. Good luck with your treatments.

    end scene.

    Cops didn’t have to search the room. They could have investigated by walking around and not smelling marijuana, then reported they didn’t find anything. However their training is to be jack booted thugs and start searching hospital rooms.

    What?

    That’s what cops do. They decide what crimes are worth responding to/pursuing further.

    If there is a report of a violent situation, weapons, rape, screaming help, etc. sure. If someone calls to report a jaywalker, do they need to start breaking down doors, cuffing people, interrogating, taking DNA samples, etc?

    All they had to do was walk in, ask if MJ was being smoked. Smell around and then when obviously it was not, leave. No need to pilfer through a cancer patients stuff when.

    So we should just ignore all the terrible shit cops do, since this cop did something good? Good for him and job well done. But it doesn’t help all the people who’ve had their lives destroyed by bad cops.

    I get that you can't touch a cop, but there's gottta be something between "just taking it" and "lighting a chick up"

    It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

    I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

    He didn’t just punch her, it looks like he pistol whipped her with a taser. I’m sure DaveTV heard of one cop who did his job that day though so don’t worry about it.

    On auto forums there are threads focused on common issues that help document symptoms so you can fix it before a hiway breakdown or get it done under warranty. Dave is like the guys who find a need to clog up the thread & chime in with ‘mine has over 10k miles, no issue, so what’s the big deal?’

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna post in the POS Human Beings thread about my kind neighbor who clears snow from my driveway when I’m out of town.

    I was out of town for a long time. Our neighbor decided my car was so covered in dust that a burglar would figure out no one was home, so the neighbor washed my car. To segue back to cops--another neighbor is CHP--his job is bomb disposal. I'm glad someone is crazy enough to do that job. A really nice guy too, with a cool Malinois that only understands German. But I wouldn't care if there were 100 to 1 good cops to bad (there aren't), we still have to deal with the bad ones.

    Cop fired and pleads guilty. Guy he tore up with the dog received a 5 figure settlement from the city and died the following day of a drug overdose. How convenient eh?

    Bad example. Jaywalking is a favorite excuse for cops to bust people and bust people up for walking while black.
