The Good But Generally Bad Police Thread

Officer shoots bystander (who was on his own property) holding camera phone…claimed bystander as an “imminent threat” - http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/09/dad-im-shot-man-with-phone-camera-shot-by-police-on-his-own-property/

WTF

This lady was arrested in nyc for dancing to music at a stop light. They impounded her car, and told her to pick it up the next day. She comes back to pick it up the next day, and then they stick her in a psych ward for 8 days.

You cant even make this shit up. Obligatory white people are fucked up, and fuck NYC. Jesus christ. Im sure the cop and ems will still keep their jobs. Nothing to fear here, just being racist, and unjustly locking people up, then sending them to the psych ward. Racist white people, tell me again how we’re taking over your country. lol

Gonna need regular updates on this one, what in the flying fuck.

big difference being the assumption of all “blacks are thugs” actually affect innocent black dudes (examples all over this thread) while the “lazy generalization” of cops being “bad cops” doesn’t translate into actual fines or penalties towards the bad ones. The “they were just doing their job” card has been played too many times. I guess no one here agrees that shooting to kill an unarmed civilian is part of their job.

SRK that we all know wasn’t up until 2000.

It DOES look like he starts moving before you hear the shots…but at THAT distance, there would be an audio lag. You’d hear something a second AFTER it happened. They just might have shot him without physical cause.

I thought about that too but he doesn’t seem that far away to account for it? Not sure. Was there any followup information on this?

Kid caught jaywalking because he was late to school gets arrested: http://abcnews.go.com/US/california-cops-scrutiny-teens-jaywalking-arrest-caught-video/story?id=33861780

I’m guessing the officer arrested him because the kid “resisted arrest.” The thing is the officer put his hands on the kid and then started yelling “stop resisting.” Nice of the officer to sneak in a few cheap shots with his baton. Then more cops came to the scene then tackled and arrested the kid. The officer could have just written the kid a ticket for jaywalking but chose to escalate the situation by bringing out his baton and attempting to choke the kid. Based on the article and video, the scuffle started when the officer brought out his baton to choke the kid.

Note: When the officer puts his hands on you, he/she will start yelling “stop resisting” which will lead to an arrest.

Wqtched the vid. It looks like he is trying to break his legs leaning on him with his batton, then he nails the kid twice in the jaw. Cop is overcompensating for his tiny dick

A man who a 911 operator said was suicidal, gets lit up like a Christmas tree.

Did I mention he was in a wheel chair??

I remember when I jaywalked once when I was 12.
Bunch of cops were at lunch outside at a restaurant across the street…

They told us to not do it again.

Oh how I long for 1995.

I couldn’t watch all of that vid, I just feel sick and angry

Brazilian police caught planting gun on unarmed teen they killed

Man obeys police officer gets tazered for lols

He required assistance in his suicide and got it

Don’t see how him being in a wheelchair changes anything here, given the evidence of a gun and self inflicted gun wounds. Suicide via police isn’t that unheard of. Did you even read the article, or are you just reading clickbait headlines and posting them without thinking? Or you could just be shitstirring; don’t know. I will keep in mind that people sitting down with a gun are less threatening than people standing up with a gun, however.

I wanna be upset by this, but watching cops give white women a beatdown is sort of…pleasant.

I am kind of curious how a seatbelt violation was able to escalate to that level.

Well, since it was a white woman that got the crap beat out of her in that manner, how fast do you think the national media will pick it up and how long to run the story into the ground? Though wouldn’t mind if something does happen.

…on the account of a white woman getting beat up.
Who da thunk.

The fatter I see cops getting, the more I know they are just gang members that can’t do anything without a crew or a weapon.

As someone who served in the military I cannot understand how police don’t enforce a physical fitness protocol for these cops. There is no reason some 300 lb tub of lard should even be considered “fit for duty” when he probably couldn’t run a block without collapsing
