In most countries police have strict standards regarding physical fitness and an officer can get tossed if he or she falls below the requirements.
Meanwhile, in the States I see cops working the beat that look like one cruller away from a heart attack. Sweat stained uniforms at room temperature.
Walter Scott shooting: Family agrees $6.5m settlement
This is good. Would it better if these people were still alive and the officers involved weren’t pieces of shit from the beginning? Absolutely, but this is a good start at least.
Dunno, whats the point of giving dead people millions of dollars? A better reprieve for the families surely is seeing the murderers going to prison and the money used to properly train cops so it doesnt happen again… lol wishful thinking?
If they are willing to take that suggestion seriously, sure
I hate that they settled, it illustrates a price tag on the African male and if you look at the payouts to those families it seems they are around the same amount. They should just see it through to the end but I guess money outweighs life
Huh? Slager is still in jail and faces trial. The settlement has nothing to do with the officers jail time. Its not a settlement in exchange for the officers freedom.
Just to clarify, again, those settlements are to settle civil suits with the city that employeed the officer, the police department, and anyone related to the incident.
Investigation rules Tamir Rice killing justified
IT WAS A THREAT TO THEIR SAFETY BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T FOLLOW PROTOCOL!!
I read that, but was too fed up to even want to post that because it was so terrible.
Of course the officers didn’t have all the info when they drove up! They already were guns blazing to not even think about 'assessing the situation.'
If that doesn’t raise some type of stink…
This what happened when an officer is placed in a school:

I wonder what did the kid do to hauled out of class like that? Looks excessive to me on the officer’s part. Maybe flipping the desk like that was part of…“officer training?” That may be used to justify the officer’s actions in apprehending the student.
Edit:
Being black. She should know better. Smh.
Next time when the officer tells you to move, move. Bitch about it later, but during that moment, just do as your told.
She didn’t and ended up upside down. Her own fault for being uppity.
Now the FBI is investigating the classroom incident. RIP school administrators.
That’s not how it works. Soviet.
Actually, that is precisely how it SHOULD work. If things haven’t shaken up so that teachers are so neutered in the classroom, then shit like this wouldn’t have gotten there either.
She was asked/told by her teacher to leave the classroom. She was made some bad decisions. The amount of class time teachers waste on bullshit like that is ridiculous. Drag all the jackass out of the classroom. They aren’t there to deal with attitude problems, they are there to teach.
So 13 year old thugs rule schools now? We have to be polite in asking them to not drag other students down with them?
Look at how the desks are designed. Look how frail and small that birch is. This dude is built. He could have pulled her out, or pushed the desk outside and then expelled her from school. Simple, instead he got way to physical, and then the school would have been bleed dry rightfully so. Common sense is lacking
Tossing the birch like that serves nothing and scares nobody. It only emboldens kids to continue believing authority of any kind shouldn’t be respected.
Oh, and that kind of student is the reason why certain schools are fucking trash and not worth teaching. But these people need to exercise more common sense.
Oh and that’s a thug to you? Lofl, Canada why you so soft. That’s a delinquent a trouble maker. Lofl
Whatever it was, it wasn’t a student. I think too many people are viewing this as a race issue, as opposed to a disobedience issue.
