Police Behaving Badly

[wooley12]

Honorary cops is nothing new. Sooner or later there was bound to be a fuck ups. Probably not the first time it's happened.

I'm not a physician but how does a seemingly able-bodied 25-year old end up with a severed spinal cord during an arrest as described in the report?

Getting arrested is stressful, but I have a hard time seeing it being severing your spinal cord stressful if things took place without incident.

Saw that on TV this am and thought the same thing. There was no video of the attack by the cops but they dragged the dude with limp legs into the cop van or whatever. Another chilling tale of our militarized police treating US citizens worse than our military treats foreign nationals in the countries we invade. This shit needs to happen to some senators sons.

He was "coming right for us" and slipped and fell, breaking his back.

That also seems like a really bad idea.

Isn't Shaq an honorary cop somewhere?

To me making someone an honorary cop because he is 7' 1" seems silly.

Regardless I doubt they gave Shaq a taser to confuse with his gun like the silly old cunt in question had been given.

Agreed on both points.

The other day Vets and I were headed home from skiing Northstar and four (4!) CHP cars had some chick pulled over.
One chick.
I wanted to stop and film but we would have gotten a ticket for stopping on the freeway west of Truckee.
Was she giving blowjobs to get out of a speeding ticket? Carrying a couple tons of blow?
Why the fuck do four cars of cops need to pull over one chick, who wasn't even handcuffed when we drove by.

Maybe it was a celebrity and they all wanted her autograph.

I like how the 73 year old no business doing what he was doing guy was only doing it because of donations of cars to the department and....wait for it...campaign donations to the Sheriff! Of course! He paid, so he gets to play cop!
And this is at least the 2nd worse thing that has happened to him. There was that time he had some cancer and got better. It might be tied with that. Or 2nd to it. He's not really sure.

guess what...

the old geezer that shot that guy in the back and being charged with manslaughter is now vacationing in the bahamas - judge granted him the vacay because it was pre-planned ....after you just killed a guy

I got a real bad DUI in college. Blacked out at the bar, was being "responsible" and had a ride home, then when I got home evidently I went for a drive, still blacked out. Came to with my car into a chain link fence and on top of a water tower control box (Fucking like, 10,000 gallons an hour pumping inside my car). Nearby family calls cops, one responds, I'm being completely apologetic, embarrassed, and co-operative. Six (6!) cop cars show up to interrogate me, including one they supposedly brought all the way from the bar I was at with dude saying, "Yeah, YEAH! I saw this guy drive his car away from the BAR!"

Other cop tries to guilt me, "Look how many good cops you're taking off the street with your bullshit."

Me: "Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that. Why does it take 6 cop cars and 10 officers to give one kid a DUI? You guys are really inefficient." I was already cuffed and fucked. But seriously, SIX fucking cop cars.

Gee, do you think he made a contribution to the judge's reelection campaign?
That's the next thing that needs to be exposed is elected judges taking bribes disguised as campaign contributions - or simply just what they are: envelopes of cash from people buying dismissed and lessened charges. That's the real pay-to-play.

Most cops are incident junkies, they WANT to be there; just in case they get to shoot someone.

Another black guy got shot in the back by another cop. Prosecution grasping to keep the video private. Now charged with criminal homicide.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/motorist...david-kassick/

HARRISBURG, Pa. - The video from the camera attached to the officer's stun gun shows how David Kassick died, authorities say: two bullets, four seconds apart, fired into his back as he lay face down.

Two months before a police officer was captured on video shooting a South Carolina motorist eight times in the back, Kassick was killed by a Pennsylvania officer who is now charged with criminal homicide.

All this cascading bad publicity for cops has been well-earned.
This ruling further plays against their illegal tactics.

Supreme Court: Cops can’t hold suspects to wait for drug-sniffing dog



By Julian Hattem - 04/21/15 11:11 AM EDT

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Tuesday that the Constitution forbids police from holding a suspect without probable cause, even for fewer than 10 extra minutes.

Writing on behalf of the court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg declared that the constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure prevent police from extending an otherwise completed traffic stop to allow for a drug-sniffing dog to arrive.

“We hold that a police stop exceeding the time needed to handle the matter for which the stop was made violates the Constitution’s shield against unreasonable seizures,” she ruled.

The case, Rodriguez v. United States, was brought by a man who was pulled over for driving on the shoulder of a Nebraska highway. After the police pulled him over, checked his license and issued a warning for his erratic driving, the officer asked whether he could walk his drug-sniffing dog around the vehicle.

The driver, Dennys Rodriguez, refused. However, the officer nonetheless detained him for “seven or eight minutes” until a backup officer arrived. Then, the original officer retrieved his dog.

After sniffing around the car, the dog detected drugs, and Rodriguez was indicted for possessing methamphetamine. In all, the stop lasted less than 30 minutes.

According to the Supreme Court, though, that search of Rodriguez’s car was illegal, and the evidence gathered in it should not be used at trial. While officers may use a dog to sniff around a car during the course of a routine traffic stop, they cannot extend the length of the stop in order to carry it out.

“The tolerable duration of police inquiries in the traffic-stop context is determined by the seizure’s ‘mission’ — to address the traffic violation that warranted the stop,” Ginsburg ruled. “Authority for the seizure thus ends when tasks tied to the traffic infraction are — or reasonably should have been — completed.”

Not gonna miss this intellectual deadbeat.. Leonhart's gone after doing her best to make a mockery out of the DEA the past 5 years.

DEA officials banging cartel-hired hookers at home and at the office. In the words of Zack Galifinakis "classic!"

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/22/us...to-resign.html

"Ms. Leonhart’s expected departure follows a hearing last week in which lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee expressed outrage about her handling of reports that D.E.A. agents stationed in Colombia participated in sex parties with prostitutes paid for by drug cartels.

Seven agents who admitted to the accusations were given suspensions of two to 10 days, and under harsh questioning from the panel, Ms. Leonhart said that she was powerless to take more aggressive action such as firing them or revoking their security clearances."

It's the same indecision we saw in congress last year, possibly with the same fucking explanation: holding ranks with the blue.. shake mah gotdamned head

run dope, steal money and have gangster friends that buy you whores

This ruling further plays against their illegal tactics.

I don't see that case changing much. They can't continue to hold you after they've issued the citation, but presumably the officer could just take his sweet time writing up the citation while he waits for the K9 unit.
