Oh, I couldn't either.  I'd jump in.  But I'm a better person than most cops.

Me, too.  At 4'10" and 100 lbs, I'd at least try to help.  (But then again, you and I know how to make our pants a flotation device, so there's that.)

WEEEE!!!!!

 

[skinsmarydu]

I was a great swimmer in my Navy years, always wanted to qualify higher (because I knew I could).  I was denied every time I requested.  So much for what my recruiter told me ("You can do anything!")

 

My dream is to shove a chukka boot up his ass.  I still remember his name.

They can leave out part of these instructions. I'm pretty sure the wetting of the pants will happen organically.

You gotta keep "it" together until you're on the way down.  Then, it's anybody's game.

Some sheriff’s candidates run on not enforcing certain laws

 

More than a dozen candidates campaigning to be top law enforcement officials in counties across Colorado are running on a unique platform: Not enforcing the law.

 

These candidates fit the profile of a loose movement sometimes referred to as “constitutional sheriffs” whose members promise to act as a bulwark against government overreach and laws passed by state legislatures that they deem illegal.

 

At the top of their list in Colorado is the “red flag” law that gives judges the ability to order the temporary seizure of guns from people considered a threat to themselves or others.

 

Some also reject the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election and coronavirus precautions, issues that have become polarizing litmus tests dividing the far-right and more mainstream conservatives.

 

“No boss, no governor, no socialist agenda will take away my focus to fight for and protect our constitution,” John Anderson, a sheriff candidate in Douglas County, says on his campaign website.

 

Experts say the rhetoric has emerged among local officials as political divisions have cleaved the country in the past decade, with fights over mask and vaccine requirements and gun-safety proposals pulling once-fringe views more into the mainstream.

For first time, video shown of cops arresting Black man, 25, on warrant for 49-yr. old white man

 

A Nevada Black man was wrongfully arrested for the felony crimes of a white man after police failed to notice distinguishing factors.

 

Newly-released footage of a mistaken identity arrest shows a young Black man repeatedly informing police they had the wrong suspect before he was jailed for felony crimes committed by an older white man of the same name.

 

The 8 News Now I-Team this week obtained and released the first footage of the wrongful arrest of Shane Lee Brown, now 25, who was behind bars for six days in two different Nevada jail facilities following deputies’ oversights.

 

While conducting a Jan. 8, 2020 traffic stop on Brown, who is Black, Henderson police officers searched his first and last name in a records log and found a “Shane Brown” who had skipped court and had a warrant out for his arrest due to the prohibited possession of a firearm.

 

However, this warrant, which called for a no-bail arrest, was for Shane Neal Brown, now 51, described in court records as a bearded white man.

 

In footage of the late-afternoon traffic stop, deputies are heard explaining to the younger Brown that they pulled him over due to busted headlights.

 

When asked to show identification, Brown explained that his license was suspended due to a traffic violation, but provided deputies his first, middle and last name, as well as his Social Security card.

 

Police ordered Brown to exit his car and handcuffed him while searching records, returning minutes later to tell the young man: “You got arrested for something with a weapon.”

 

“No wrong guy,” Brown responded with confusion, later adding: “I’ve been arrested, but everything I’ve been arrested for is traffic violations,” continuing that he had a court date scheduled for the following day to address the issues.

 

“It comes back totally matching you. Not much else we can do,” an officer can be heard telling Brown.

 

Brown during the conversation repeated his name to officers. “My Social’s in there too if you want to check that out,” Brown later said.

I guess I'm softer than y'all hardcases.  Couldn't fathom watching someone drown without trying to help.  As human being, let alone one who's job is to protect and serve.

 

and his wife...?   she ALSO didn't jump in to save him.   why?   because she would've put herself into serious danger, right?     

it would be nice (and heroic.. the very definition of going "above and beyond..") for these human beings to risk their own lives after this guy purposely put himself in danger, but i think it is crap to EXPECT these guys to go heroic

See that’s where you made your mistake, expecting Officer Friendly to be a human being. They’re cowards who love to pass themselves off as heroes. We’ve watched them do nothing while a fellow officer suffocated someone, avoid confronting active shooters in schools no less, and now this. Yeah, pretty heroic Officer Friendly.

I took swimming lessons up to lifeguard level growing up and I remember the instructors talking about how dangerous it is to try to rescue a drowning person so I get it. However, there are other things they could have done besides jump in. Did any of them run to look for a flotation device? How about using a stick, their belts, or anything else they could improvise? No. They just stood there and dispassionately watched a man drown. Hopefully one of their loved ones drowns one day. Maybe that might teach them the value of life.
Now before those of you who want to cape for them go into back the blue mode, answer this question honestly. If it was another cop drowning like this, do you think all three of them sit there and calmly watch it happen without trying to do anything at all?

I guess we can call it progress that they didn’t shoot him.

 

every single one of them is an individual human being.   you are perfectly comfortable lumping them all together when looking at the actions of individuals from the group.... there is a REASON that this gets you in trouble when you try that based on /race/gender/sexual preference/country of origin/ .   its not helpful here either.       

 

Fact is that we NEED cops, and there will always be cops.   period.  its in our interest to try to get police to be as good as we can.

Of course they are. It was an exaggeration to make a point at a time when I was pretty P.O.'d at the disregard for human life from people we pay to do otherwise, not to mention the lack of human decency. That said, there's a degree of truth to it for many, maybe most of them. Part of the whole "I was in fear of my life" defense is rooted in the idea that police are entitled to attempt to decrease their risk to zero at the expense of potentially maiming or killing members of the public, innocent or otherwise. I can't imagine any cop refusing to use the "In fear of my life" defense after killing or harming someone they shouldn't have. However, as I've said a million times, I'm biased in favor of accountability rather than protecting the police at all costs.

Again, I'm still waiting on someone to explain why none of them considered improvised rescue or flotation methods that didn't involve putting themselves in danger. I'm also still waiting on anyone to say whether they would have reacted differently if it was a cop in the water. It's pretty much a rhetorical question but still worth asking.

Pinellas deputy fired: He made up stories to cover up that he surfed net during work, sheriff says

 

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office has fired a deputy who they say made up a number of stories — including one in which he implicated an innocent person as being involved in drugs — to cover up the fact that he parked his car and surfed the web for four hours rather than do his job.

I'll give you they shouldn't be fired.  But they damn sure should be ashamed of themselves.

 

This guy did deserve to be fired.

Quote

Sheriff’s officials said that on March 30, Sacino was told to do “proactive initiatives focusing on traffic enforcement” in the area of Seminole Boulevard. Instead, Sacino “sat idle in his agency assigned patrol vehicle for over four hours surfing the internet,” the agency’s news release states.

 

Afterward, supervisors asked Sacino to hand over statistics showing his activity during that time. At first, Sacino told his supervisor that he had pulled over one car and had given the driver a warning. Sheriff’s officials said that was his first lie.

Sacino ignored a request by supervisors for case numbers and other information. However, in an effort to cover his tracks, he later drove to a Walmart, found a random vehicle in the parking lot and ran the license plate through his computer, the sheriff’s office said.

 

Sacino then fabricated a report and put it into the sheriff’s office report management system. The report falsely said that the vehicle’s owner “was involved in drug activity,” the news release states.

Oakland police chase suspect, flee scene after deadly crash, sources say

 

Two rookie Oakland police officers chased the driver of a Nissan 350Z they said was involved in a sideshow event, prompting a deadly crash before fleeing the scene without helping anyone who was injured, two sources with knowledge of the department told KTVU.

 

The two officers did not have authorization or approval to instigate the pursuit that ended with the Nissan driver crashing into a row of vehicles, leading to the death of a bystander at a taco truck, according to one source. Such rogue chases are known as "ghost stops," the source said.

 

The officers did not initially come forward with what happened Sunday at 2 a.m. at 54th Avenue and International Boulevard, in a collision that killed 28-year-old Lolomanaia "Lolo" Soakai of Hayward, who was described as an innocent bystander and had no connection to the sideshow, the sources said. 

 

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong did not mention that the officers had witnessed the crash and left. He said, however, that he had placed the officers on administrative leave and opened an Internal Affairs investigation, which is typical protocol. 

 

On Wednesday, in response to questions from KTVU, Armstrong said he has "relieved the officers of police powers, as these very serious allegations are being investigated." 

 

But what the chief told the public wasn't the whole story, according to the sources. 

 

According to one source, the two officers saw the crumpled Nissan in the middle of the street and never got on the radio to ask for medical care. It's unclear if they saw that the crash had also killed Soakai and injured others on the sidewalk. 

 

Despite the officers' lack of candor, some of their actions and conversations were caught on body camera video, the sources said. 

 

One of the officers can be heard saying something to the effect of "I hope they die," after he and his partner left the crash scene, according to one of the sources. The officers were referring to Linaldi.

It's amazing that Detroit police could raid each other, have the other show up with weapons and ready to fight and not a single shot was fired, yet they managed to cool the situation before before anything permanent happened.

 

It shows that police actually have the ability to assess threats and settle situations without their guns, but sometimes they just choose not to do it.

Actually, if police officers ran in on a number of people with guns aimed at them, they would use restraint.

Police departments to pay $90K for arresting Black man on white felon’s warrant

 

It is a case of mistaken identity and it will cost the Henderson and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police $90,000. Henderson will pay $25,000 and Metro $65,000 to Shane Lee Brown who was held for nearly a week for a crime a Shane Neal Brown is accused of committing.

 

In body camera video of a traffic stop in January 2020, when the then 23-year-old was stopped for not having his headlights on, he told officers he lost his wallet and license and had outstanding traffic tickets but planned to take care of it the next morning.

 

“We should call and see… If he has court tomorrow, we don’t want to arrest him that would be dumb,” one Henderson officer is heard saying.

Police Fired 90 Bullets At A Black Man, Killing Him And Then Handcuffing His Body, His Family Said

 

The family of Jayland Walker, who was shot and killed by police in Akron, Ohio, on Monday, is demanding answers as details about the brutality of the shooting sparked protests in the city.

 

Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, was chased by police after refusing to stop when officers tried to pull him over for a traffic violation at 12:30 a.m. on Monday, according to the Akron Police Department. Police claimed a shot was fired from the car, and after the driver slowed down and got out of the vehicle, officers followed him on foot into a parking lot.

 

"Actions by the suspect caused the officers to perceive he posed a deadly threat to them," police said. "In response to this threat, officers discharged their firearms, striking the suspect."

 

Walker was pronounced dead at the scene. The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office determined that his cause of death was from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled it a homicide.

 

Police fired more than 90 rounds at Walker during the encounter, striking him more 60 times, including in his face, Bobby DiCello, the family's attorney, told BuzzFeed News, citing information that the family received from Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett.

 

"We know that he was handcuffed after he was shot and killed, and he was found with his hands cuffed on his back when the medical personnel arrived," DiCello added.

Investigation underway after Federal Way officer posts controversial TikTok video

 

A Federal Way police officer is under investigation after posting a controversial video on TikTok.

 

The video clip in question runs just under forty seconds. In it, we hear the officer behind the steering wheel, identified by Federal Way PD as Officer Straus, commenting on drivers failing to move over.

 

“PSA to everyone out there, I’m speaking for myself but I’m probably speaking for other officers out there if we’re driving on the freeway in our police car, get the f*** out of the way,” said Straus. “If us officers stay behind you long enough, we can find a reason to pull you over.”
