Destino Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm really finding it hard to believe the pro cop crowd when they claim the dirty cops are just a small minority of the police force nationwide. I think it has less to do with dirty cops and more to do with a toxic culture created by an "us against the world" mentality coupled with very little accountability that had existed for too long.

LMAO Sincerely, A member of the "Evil Empire" You'd really be doing more to help yourself if you didn't at like a douche, "LMAO" at such a serious serious issues where people weren't losing their lives and if you were actually a cop and not a corrections officer. But hey a "n-word" is "n-word". They probably deserved it. And less work for you.Anyway if we going the music route, this is my personal fav on the issue... That song is 23 years old.

steve09ru Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 ^^just jumping in on the 'if you were actually a cop and not a corrections officer' piece - not something you can really call out if you don't know the field (and no, I don't). But do you know what corrections officers deal with daily? Throwing a slight at that is a bit of an dick move. Is what is happening a problem? Yeah - he's admitted it. Is it right to throw the majority in to this? No, it's not. It's like saying (on a much less extreme level), all sales people are assholes and scam artists. No, that's not the case. Are their pushy ones with sketchy businesses,etc. that are? Of course, but you can't treat everyone you deal with when you're looking to buy something like they are a pushy/sketchy asshole.

Springfield Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So basically, this whole country has broken down into an "us vs them" paradigm. Every, single, aspect. Probably the Internet is to blame, we are all trolls in some respects. If something bad ever happens, it will be split something around 50/50 on who is "pro" or "against" said topic.

Larry Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Is what is happening a problem? Yeah - he's admitted it. Is it right to throw the majority in to this? No, it's not. Disagree. I'll believe that police thinking they can get away with murder isn't a problem for ALL police, when I see a video where. . . . 1). Cop X shoots a fleeing, unarmed, suspect in the back. 2). And the cop's *partner* draws his weapon, aims for center of mass, states "you are under arrest", and then accurately testifies about what happened. Because until then, all I've seen is case after case after case where LEOs perform criminal acts, in full view of other officers, and every single one of the officers present swears, that either every thing the criminal said was true, or that "I didn't see anything". I think it was this thread where we had a story of somebody being handcuffed and locked in a room with no food or water, for three days. How many cops knowingly went along with that abuse? And how many of them followed the law? (The answers are "every one of them" and "zero". And you're actually talking about three days worth of officers, and 2 or 3 shifts, per day).

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Click to read the rest http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32887033 Cleveland police department agrees to carry out federal reforms The Cleveland police department, which has been criticised for aggressive tactics against African Americans, has agreed to strict federal reforms. Mayor Frank Jackson said on Tuesday that the police will adhere to the most exacting standards in the US. The US Department of Justice settlement comes after a series of cases where officers killed unarmed people. The rules prohibit officers from using force against people for talking back or as punishment for running away. Pistol whipping is prohibited, as is firing warning shots, the agreement says. An independent monitor will track the police department's progress. The department will be required to collect data on use-of-force incidents, will be banned from neck holds, and won't be able to use Tasers targeting head, neck or genitalia. Officers will also undergo mental health consultations. If the city does not carry out the terms of the settlement, known as a consent decree, a federal judge has the authority to demand them. Mr Jackson said all police officers will have body cameras by the end of 2015. The DOJ report does not lay out this specific goal about body cameras but states that the department will arrange for 'body-worn camera video downloads.' Cleveland's police force most recently come under criticism in November 2014, when an officer fatally shot 12-year-old Tamir Rice after mistaking his toy gun for a real one.

Chew Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) ^^ I watched this earlier today. Wtf, man. I just hipe people watching videos like this would try to sympathize with the citizens involved. Should a black teenage kid get on the ground as soon as a cop tells them to? Yes, probably.... But PLEASE understand what it must be like to have a cop put his hands on you and order you on the ground when you've done absolutely NOTHING wrong. The frustration would probably bring me to tears, knowing I cannot punch this corny ass dude in the face for treating me like scum Edited June 7, 2015 by Chew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Found this wrote up associated with the video above: The incident reportedly took place this weekend in McKinney, Texas – where a resident was having a pool party. Allegedly, neighbors were concerned about the large group of black children who were in attendance at the event, and called the police to intervene. Authorities arrived immediately to the predominately white neighborhood and proceeded to chase and handcuff the frightened partygoers without providing much information as to why. At one point in the clip, an officer can be seen pinning a young girl in a bathing suit facedown into the grass while grabbing her by her braids. She and her friends hysterically scream as she is cuffed. The adults in the neighborhood are seen helplessly watching on as the girl sobs. All throughout the clip several detained young boys try to explain to the police that they just arrived to the scene and were not involved in whatever complaints had been made. They also appear confused as to why they have been cuffed. The video ends with the officer chastising the boys for “being part of the mob.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The neighbors are pieces of ****, and the cops who show up to bust up a party for having too many black kids in it ..the cops who dispatch other cops because the complaint is 'there's too many black kids at a pool party'..... i don't even know what to say anymore. It's ****ing disgusting. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
