Police Behaving Badly

[sb]

So campus cop up on murder charges.

[Cono Este]

I though camp cops were supposed to breaking up keg partys? Unreal he's out hunting for no front tags. I hope the family gets to rename the university.

Good statement by the DA.

So your point is that licence plate enforcement is what is keeping us safe from the terrorists?

Not at all snarky. The assumption that the cop in Cincinnati overplayed a routine stop for NFP. The reaction turned out very sad but underestimation of the consequences by the driver for his actions is not that surprising. To me.. As I am watching the funeral for Hayward Officer Lunger killed last week.

I've read a fair amount of cop obits on their national page. What deputy dipshit did by lunging into a car that's starting and presumably about to peel out is not heroic, it's a dumb decision driven by a desire to control. It's not a safe or sane practice for cops to put their life in danger to secure a traffic citation, and then rely on that voluntary and foolish decision to end someone's life.

A lot of cops die by doing stupid, aggro shit with their cruisers and their decisions while on foot. They ramp up risk, kill themselves and kill civilians while trying to arrest people for offenses that have insufficient bearing on public safety.

Agreed. It's about as sane as following and confronting bikers who drive like shit.

Touché. Although not having a gun and being in happy valley mitigate much of the risk. Talking civilian to civilian is a different story if you're not threatening them.

What does one case have to do with the other?

He's using the deceased cop as a failed attempt to leverage sympathy for blue in general, and the hyperbolized degree of risk they face. It's a weak, mealy mouthed point, but a popular one.

I got that but I'm interested to hear what 4matic has to say about it.

Its true, almost like they are trained to escalate situtions. People like this get shot because they have a suspended license, or unpaid parking tickets and are nervous.

These country boy cops should not be patrolling these neighborhoods. They are too afraid.

[old goat]

It was always interesting to watch how people handled belligerent drunks in the ER. The cops always made them more belligerent, the nurses always got them calmed down. (And one ER doc I knew used to sew their ears to the gurney when he had to sew up a head laceration and they wouldn't hold still, but that's another thread--doctors behaving badly.)

“As I’m talking to them through the screen door, they’re saying to come outside,” said Falcone. “I said, ‘For what?'”

Falcone added that his dog began barking from inside the house, to which an officer said, “Get your dog out of here or I”ll fucking kill it!”

Falcone also had surgery on his foot recently and was wearing a boot, but that didn’t stop the four aggressive officers from purposefully stepping on it after pulling him from his home illegally for a violent, unprovoked beating on the front lawn.
Falcone’s version of events was confirmed by a video obtained by the Daily News, which was shot from a neighbor’s window across the street. In it, Falcone is heard screaming for mercy while the officers mercilessly pile on top of him.

“They threw me against the concrete in front of my house. My first reaction was to try to get up a little bit,” Falcone explained. “While I was on the ground, I had mud and blood in my mouth. One [of the cops] said, ‘Don’t let it get on you, he probably has AIDS, the faggot.’”

News Story
Pregnant woman pulled over, officer gives help instead of a ticket
Posted: Friday, 31 July 2015 21:27 uslax

On Friday, a pregnant woman who was pulled over posted a photo of an officer changing her license plate.

“Instead of giving me a ticket for not having my new plates on, this Officer gladly helped put them on,” she wrote. “Even though it was hot and he was sweating his balls off he was nice and didn't make me feel bad about not having my plates on.”

In a few hours the post had thousands of likes and more than 1,300 shares.

“Thank you Officer Jimmy Allen,” she wrote.

KIRO 7 contacted the woman, Amby M. Johnson, through Facebook to ask about the traffic stop and to hear more about the story that happened in Silverdale, Wash., about two hours from Seattle.

Johnson said she was shocked at how fast the story went viral and said Allen deserves all the kind praise.

“Today you don't hear about the officers who actually do good, but I wanted to be one of the people to give credit when it's due,” Johnson wrote.

Here is what Johnson wrote about how the moment came about. We have reached out to Allen as well and may update this story.

I got pulled over today on Kitsap Bangor base in Silverdale, Washington. I was having a really bad contraction and I decided to go around the speed bump to avoid any further pain.

That's when I saw the lights.

It was a female Navy MP. I knew I was in the wrong, so I had no problem pulling over to get the consequence.

She told me why I was pulled over and was very nice about it. She asked for all the paperwork for a normal pull over and I gave her my license, registration and insurance. She informed me my plates were expired and I reached to my back seat and showed her that I had the new ones, my husband just had not had the time to put them on. He's in the Navy and sometimes he works long days and I don't wanna bother him to put them on.

I'm 38 1/2 weeks pregnant and I still go to work as a caregiver. So my back is already worn out from being pregnant and assisting clients with bathing and transfers also take a toll on me. Bending over to put them on myself was definitely out of the question.

A few moments later that's when another car pulled up, but this man had a uniform on that said police. I for sure thought I was gonna get a few tickets then, lol.

The MP gave me back my things and told me to make sure my husband put the new plates on. I asked if she thought the officer would mind.

He was so polite and said yes he just had to make sure he had the right tools. He changed the plates for me and the MP made a statement saying "Officer of the year." I thought to myself like I should have her take a picture and post this on Facebook.

Today you don't hear about the officers who actually do good, but I wanted to be one of the people to give credit when it's due.

It went viral so fast and I was so shocked. He deserves it. I just wish people who comment and share the story would stop seeing race or the fact that I said he was sweating his balls off.

It bothers me so bad that majority of the shares have the heading WHITE OFFICER helps BLACK WOMAN.

I'm half white and half black. It's so sickening to read the comments from people sharing and they make comments like "and then he shot her."

Just see the story for what it is. A good officer helping out a woman. No race.

July was the deadliest month of 2015 so far for killings by police after registering 118 fatalities, according to the Guardian’s ongoing investigation The Counted, which now projects that US law enforcement is on course to kill more than 1,150 people this year.

The silver lining is that it lowers our incarceration rate!

Trial starts for the cops who killed the guy looking for help after a car accident. I'm guessing he gets off. They are literally using the line "He's coming right for us!"

From a very interesting article in the New Yorker about the cop who murdered Michael Brown.

A recent survey by the Police Executive Research Forum revealed that cadets usually receive fifty-eight hours of training in firearms, forty-nine in defensive tactics, ten in communication skills, and eight in de-escalation tactics.

That's fucked up/

Nice read. So Wilson's living off a 500k donation while continuing to adhere to the 'up by the bootstraps' mentality despite the fact that he hasn't figured out a legal and reliable way to earn a living despite 15 years of being eligible to do so. Makes sense...

construction - failure
police work - failure
freeloading - TBD, funds limited

"On February 27, 2014, he stopped a twenty-three-year-old black man named Aaron Simmons, outside a minimart. In the police report, Wilson remarks that the minimart was known as a place where drugs were sold. He also mentions that it was cold outside, and that while patrolling he had seen Simmons four times “in this area.” Wilson reports that, for his own safety, he told Simmons to remove his hands from his pockets. Simmons objected: it was freezing, and his pockets were empty. Wilson forcibly removed Simmons’s “hands from his pants, during which Simmons actively resisted my control.” Wilson then requested Simmons to place his hands against the police car, so that he could be searched for weapons. When Simmons refused, Wilson arrested him for failure to comply. The report does not say that Simmons possessed anything illegal. During the arrest process, Wilson notes, he and Simmons had several physical confrontations, including one, at the police station, in which “Simmons was pushed against the wall.”

"I showed the four reports to Erin Murphy, an N.Y.U. law professor who studies Fourth Amendment issues. Murphy said that, in the case of Simmons, there was no legitimate reason for detaining him. "

^ this is the same bs Darren Wilson chides other officers over in the personal interview. Only difference is this case is in his record, and he can't change the narrative.
