The Good But Generally Bad Police Thread

Correction on that black youngsta situation. Turns out he was lying, has no account with wells fargo, none of his money was detained, he had 70k on him, not 200k, and hes an ignorant, lying piece of rapper shit. I knew i shouldnt have believed that illiterate negro from the start. lol

Gonna copy and paste my shit from the lounge.

The dirty, feces tossing in the street, religion stealing, plague ridden honkies are at it again.

Remember that alabama cop that slammed that indian father to the ground because someone called the cops on him for walking around his sons neighborhood while he visited from india, and broke his neck.? Yeah, the judge tossed the case out.

Parker testified that he was afraid Patel had a hidden weapon he was reaching for, and maintains he did not tackle the man, but rather lost his balance and fell. (Anyone who has seen the video knows it clearly doesnt show him losing his balance and falling. Just another cracka ass lie by alabamas finest)
But Police Chief Larry Muncey said at the time that Parker’s actions were not justified, and Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley ® issued a formal apology to the Indian government for the incident. Parker was fired from the police force and arrested for assault.
Yet Judge Madeline Hughes Haikala threw out the case late Wednesday, saying in a 92-page opinion that federal prosecutors had tried and failed over the course of two trials last year to secure a conviction. While calling what happened a “tragedy,” she seemed to suggest Patel was responsible in part for the rough treatment he received, noting in her ruling that Patel committed a misdemeanor by leaving his home without identification, and noting the grandfather should have known some basic English because it was not his first visit to the United States.

It was the guys fault for walking around the neighborhood without identification (which wouldnt have helped him, because a passport isnt going to tell cops where he is staying, or auto translate any other language barriers), and that he shouldve understood some basic english because it wasnt his first time coming to america???

**The american judicial system folks. This judge should be dragged through the streets by coat hangers that have been inserted in her shins by drill holes from a rusty and aids covered drill bit, and fed to a pack of starving wild hyenas.
**
Also, just to get on other minorities asses a bit. See you brown motherfuckers. You think youre better than black people until you get treated exactly like one, and we’ve been telling you this shit through our art (music, movies, tv shows, poetry) for decades, but you dont care either until a cop bust you upside the head because some scared honky called the cops on you because you werent white. White women stick up for black men and women more than other minorities it seems most of the time.

America is a cesspool of bullshit, and crackas are still the number 1 face of lies, terrorism, racism, bigotry, prejudice, and general stupidity in this country, regardless of centuries of privilege. At least the black man and woman has somewhat of an excuse for some of our peoples behavior, with you know a couple hundred plus centuries of slavery, another 100 years minimum after slavery of general racism, prejudice, and injustice, now going on almost 50 years post the civil rights movement of still having to pull ourselves up out of the mess we were put in, and not given a fair chance to get out of.

Maaaaan, suck my dick. Im heated. lol

Six Cleveland police officers have been fired in connection with a November 2012 car chase that ended with officers firing 137 bullets at a car, killing Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams, said Detective Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association.

Loomis identified the officers as Wilfredo Diaz, Brian Sabolik, Erin O’Donnell, Michael Farley, Chris Ereg and Michael Brelo.

Brelo, the only officer indicted in the incident, allegedly fired 49 of the shots, including 15 from the hood of the car carrying Russell and Williams. He was acquitted of manslaughter last year.

Loomis, a veteran of 23 years, vowed to get the officers’ jobs back. There is “no rhyme or reason” to the dismissals, and he said he and other officers are scratching their heads because the firings seem random, as if names were picked out of a hat.

“This is nothing but politics. I have every confidence in the world we’re going to get their jobs back. I’m not going to stand for it,” Loomis said.

odin · January 27, 2016, 1:17am

Only fired?

Wil · January 27, 2016, 1:21am

Only one officer was indicted in the shooting but he was eventually acquitted of manslaughter.

The head of some police association wants to get these guys their jobs back.

Oh you know…fuck accountability and the city prosecutor doesn’t want to lose his/her career. :looney:

Wil · January 27, 2016, 11:31pm

I guess the shooting of two women who were mistaken for Dorner while delivering newspapers was justified. :bluu:

AHVB · January 28, 2016, 11:30pm

No charges were filed because there is clearly much more to this story than what is being reported.

Any prosecutor would love to get a cop indicted and then convicted. It’s a huge career booster. So for one to decide to not prosecute would mean that there wasn’t any violation of the law by the officer.

Don_Barracuda · January 29, 2016, 12:31am

hmm I wonder what more there could be to a person delivering a newspaper?
Did you see the clips of cops just pointing there guns at anything that moved during that period? They were running around LA with their fingers on the trigger.

Bomberman3000 · January 29, 2016, 2:36am

Well, some decent news, for once.
LINK so big

Snippets:

The rest of the article in the link is rather large, but goes into a lot more detail. Like, DAYUM, they sat on his legs while the dude was prone and kept beatin’ his ass.

So much disgraces to humanity operating under a roof of authority.
Pisses me off to no end.

Chicago Police Hid Mics, Destroyed Dashcams To Block Audio, Records Show - https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20160127/archer-heights/whats-behind-no-sound-syndrome-on-chicago-police-dashcams

CHICAGO — Why are so many police dashcam videos silent?

Chicago Police Department officers stashed microphones in their squad car glove boxes. They pulled out batteries. Microphone antennas got busted or went missing. And sometimes, dashcam systems didn’t have any microphones at all, DNAinfo Chicago has learned.

Police officials last month blamed the absence of audio in 80 percent of dashcam videos on officer error and “intentional destruction.”

A DNAinfo Chicago review of more than 1,800 police maintenance logs sheds light on the no-sound syndrome plaguing Police Department videos — including its most notorious dashcam case.

**Maintenance records of the squad car used by Jason Van Dyke, who shot and killed Laquan McDonald, and his partner, Joseph Walsh, show months long delays for two dashcam repairs, including a long wait to fix “intentional damage.”

On June 17, 2014, police technicians reported fixing a dashcam wiring issue in police vehicle No. 6412, the squad shared by Van Dyke and Walsh, about three months after it was reported broken, records show.

A day later, the same vehicle’s dashcam system was reported busted again. It took until Oct. 8, 2014, to complete repairs of what technicians deemed “intentional damage,” according to reports.

Just 12 days later, on Oct. 20, 2014, dashcam video recorded from squad car No. 6412 on the night Van Dyke shot and killed McDonald did not record audio. The video that went viral showing Van Dyke killing Laquan was taken from a different squad car, but it, too, had no audio.

And on Nov. 21, 2014, a review of 10 videos downloaded from Van Dyke’s squad car dashcam determined it was “apparent … that personnel have failed to sync the MICs [sic],” police records show.

Van Dyke has been charged with first-degree murder in Laquan’s shooting. And Walsh, who filed reports backing up Van Dyke’s version of events that didn’t jibe with the video of the shooting, has been placed on desk duty as criminal and disciplinary investigations continue.

Four other police vehicles at Laquan’s shooting scene that had dashcam systems also failed to record audio. Only two of the five vehicles had dashcams that actually captured video.**

The dashcam in police vehicle No. 8489, shared by officers Thomas Gaffney and Joseph McElligott the night of Laquan’s shooting, recorded 37 “event videos” in October 2014, and had an operational dashcam the night of the shooting. But “due to disk error” no video was recorded at the shooting scene, according to police reports.

Police maintenance records show a request to repair the dashcam in that squad car was made Oct. 15, 2014 — five days before Laquan’s shooting. Yet, on Oct. 31, 2014, technicians found “no problems” with the equipment.

A week later, the dashcam system was reported broken again. Repairs to a “hardware failure” were completed more than four months later, police records show.

Police vehicle No. 8756 had a working dashcam that recorded 124 “event videos” in October 2014 without a single request for maintenance that month.

But on the night of Laquan’s shooting, the vehicle assigned to Arturo Bacerra and Leticia Valez reportedly had a “power issue” and the dashcam was “not engaged.”

It wasn’t until Nov. 23 that a repair request was issued for that squad car’s dashcam. Less than two weeks later, technicians reported, “no problems found,” police records show.

No microphones

Between Sept. 1, 2014, and July 16, 2015, maintenance technicians assigned to troubleshoot and repair dashcam systems reported 90 incidents where no microphones were found in squad cars, according to police logs.

Another 13 inspections during that period turned up only one microphone in squad cars that were supposed to be equipped with two audio recording devices, according to the logs.

On 30 occasions, technicians who downloaded dashcam videos found evidence that audio recording systems either had not been activated or were “intentionally defeated” by police personnel, the records show.

It wasn’t until the absence of sound on the videos from Laquan’s shooting that problems with dashcam systems came to light.

Police officials quickly placed the blame on officers and shift supervisors responsible for making sure dashcam systems work properly before officers go on patrol.

In December, interim Police Supt. John Escalante warned the rank and file that they would be disciplined for failing to follow proper dashcam protocol. Weeks later, he followed through by hitting some officers and supervisors with formal reprimands and up-to-three-day suspensions.

“To boil this down, the Police Department will not tolerate officers maliciously destructing equipment,” police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

“Supt. Escalante sent a very clear message and has held people accountable. And since we took that corrective action, we have seen a more than 70 percent increase in the amount of [video] uploads at the end of each tour … and that is being audited weekly with reports sent to the superintendent.”

Fraternal Order of Police President Dean Angelo has called Escalante’s punishment of the rank and file over dashcam video disrepair an attempt to deflect blame away from the Police Department and City Hall.

“How they determine that it’s purposely caused damages, I’d like to know,” Angelo said last month. “How they can figure out what is mechanical or what is human error, I’d like to know.”

I should’ve been more clear in my earlier post. I was referring to the case of the officers who discharged their weapons at the person who attempted to ram police officers with their vehicle. I was not referring to the newspaper delivery.
