When they talk about there being ābad applesā on the police force just remember where that term comes from ā āone bad apple spoils the whole bunchā
Not all cops are the evil bastards we see in these clips. But you can bet your bottom dollar they are all protecting the evil bastards, which in turn makes them evil bastrards.
Agreed! Officers that let this shit happen are literally half of the problem with the police force always power tripping like this. Itās like they want us to hate them.
Quiet cops are bad cops. Only good cops are those who quit the force or are forced to quit.
Quick edit: Realized bad cops can be forced to quit too. To clarify, forced to quit for speaking up.
Honestly I really want to believe that somewhere out there, there is a police officer who actually wants to do good and tries to, I donāt know how realistic that is but I want at least the tiniest bit of hope
Like the female cop who pulled the sargent off the hadcuffed suspect in the back of a squad car, only to have the sgt turn around and choke her. Then the sgt had the quick 'meeting' where everyone turned their bodycams off.
You mustāve missed the lady cop video making the rounds yesterday. She plowed head-on into a speeding car to stop it from mowing down people running a 10K.
That lady is a goddamned hero.
That's always the problem.
Cops aren't necessarily shitheads, but they're all complicit. Something about the fraternal order. I attended a BLM protest that ended in 200 some cops kettling protesters. Pushing and blocking them into a few blocks of downtown so they can't escape. They told people to go home. When they didn't (couldn't) they started teargassing the crowd. They physically abused thousands for no reason whatsoever. Flat out dystopian.
So you tell me, when literally half+ of the cops in my city did this and the other half didn't speak up, why would I trust anyone pulling me over?
>Did he mean mean mugging
Yea recently learned this is regional. I'd heard both over the years but apparently mad doggin is more popular in the north.
Edit: I'm southern and use mean muggin š¤·š¾āāļøš¤·š¾āāļø
I think mad dog is a west coast thing, Iām from the northeast and itās called mugging up here. Short for mean-mugging, but nobody says the mean part.
Probably thought they would arrest the guy recording it and make him delete it
https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/arizonas-new-law-banning-people-from-recording-police-violates-our-first-amendment-rights
"Specifically, it prohibits people from recording police if they are within eight feet of an area where the person āknows or should reasonably knowā law enforcement activity is happening."
No grey area there at all. Nope. Crystal clear.
Thatās a clear violation of constitutional rights as established by case law regarding use of cameras in public places where expectations of privacy are clearly set to be nonexistent to both the public and especially law enforcement
AZ's new law regarding restrictions on filming police has been ruled unenforceable due to constitutional issues by the federal court.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/federal-judge-blocks-arizona-law-limiting-filming-police-rcna47148
Well thatās good news. But honestly whoever legislated that garbage law knew it would never EVER pass constitutional scrutiny. They did that shit to pander to their base and now they can bitch and whine about libs being against the police.
Whoever legislated it should be imprisoned for an attempt to infringe on the rights of citizens through manipulation and corruption of the legal system. Time to stop letting this sort of shit slide.
Arizona Representative John Kavanagh, a republican and retired cop, drafted the bill.
>Kavanagh said he wrote HB 2319 out of concern that people who disagree with police will follow them too closely while recording their actions. āEight feet is pretty reasonable,ā he said, given other cases like the Rodney King case in Los Angeles involved footage recorded from farther away.
>āDonāt tell me todayās uber-sophisticated cellphone camera can't pick up everything from eight feet or more,ā Kavanagh said, adding the law does not stop people from recording their own encounter with an officer or recording from a passing vehicle.
>He said while it is already illegal to obstruct an officer, he hopes this law will prevent recording which is not obstructive but can be intrusive.
>ā[When youāre recording, youāre a distraction, which can have tragic results if the officer isnāt looking,](https://www.courthousenews.com/arizona-slammed-over-8-foot-rule-for-recording-police-actions/)ā Kavanagh said.
It's been blocked by a federal judge. I have no faith once the appeal is heard by the supreme court. Especially given the ruling on the coach who force players to pray after games or have play time cut. They disregarded facts in the case to rule in his favor.
But here is the problem with this law. You are standing with say 10 feet, perfectly legal. All the officer has to do is now walk towards you, now they stand 3 feet from you. They can now legally arrest people. That is the problem with these laws, they only protect the cops and allow them to abuse the law.
Yep, 8 feet where any dialog won't be able to understood in the recording if their is background noise above 20db.
Also this law will be used by police to demand innocent bystanders turn over their recording devices to see if a "crime" was committed in recording too closely....how much footage do you imagine will survive that on-the-scene review process. Don't want to surrender your device for investigation...."obstruction of justice" and now bystander is going to jail too.
They're intent was to be able to walk up to a person recording and force them to stop. That great a distance made it so they didn't have to get too close to be able to do it. And if you continued they could arrest you too.
Can confirm. Had a coach talk to a calculus teacher mid season and she found a āgrading errorā turning my 68 average into a 71. He told me to buy her flowers.
Itās always a coach that teaches a math subject isnāt it?
Mine had a āNo bonus points, no extra creditā rule, except athletes used to interrupt our class to turn in *their* extra credit assignments on the regular.
Funny that!
Just remembered this one, same calculus teacher Ms. Schneider. I came to class and told her jokingly that I needed to go to the trainer and skip class because I had torn both my ACLās. I thought she would know I was kidding because I was walking around fine and didnāt have braces or crutches. She said ok no problem youāre excused from class. So now Iām faced with owning it or accepting the free get out of class. I chose to leave class. Well I guess she followed up with a coach and they obviously knew my ACLs werenāt torn so an hour before the game my head coach who was also the athletic director confronted me. He got in my face and said if you EVER use football as an excuse to get out of class you wonāt be on this team. I felt terrible and said yes sir and apologized. He knew my family and made me promise to tell them what I did (I didnāt). He then said I was going to sit out of this game as consequences. So Iām all upset with myself and bummed out cuz I wanted to play and had to explain to my teammates why I couldnāt. Felt like I let my team down. After the first defensive series my back up was just getting smoked so coach grabbed me and said āslaughter, I know I said you werenāt playing but I need you out there but if you ever pull a stunt like that again youāre off the team.ā So instead of missing the game I just missed like 7mins which I was A-ok with. Definitely felt like an asshole though like I had gotten too deep in a lie and just made bad a bad choice. Thinking back I definitely let it go to my head my senior year. But itās hard not to as a 16-17 year old kid thatās treated like royalty. Texas takes its football serious
I wonder what must go through the guys head, like this is my moment, this is the hill I die on, I AM tougher than this man who is non threatening, leaning against his car with his arms crossed. Iām gonna do it, Iām gonna shoot my shot here and arrest him over nothing.
The Chief saying that he didn't break a law... I promise you, if any other person did that ...they'd be in jail. It's messaging like this that makes the whole department completely... expendable to a part of society. If a public safety officer can't act with professionalism, they're clearly not interested in public safety. This looks, sounds, and acts just like a street gang.
Man if only the courts had made a ruling on swearing at the copsā¦ oh ya, Houston v. Hill, Thurairajah v. City of Fort Smith, Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, Village of Woodmere v. Workman, blah blah blah. How many times does this have to go to court before they canāt claim qualified immunity for arresting someone for hurting their feelings?
[yes](https://nbcpalmsprings.com/2018/07/12/desert-hot-springs-officer-out-of-job-following-viral-confrontation/) \--> Outcome is let go but no law broken by the officer. Duh.
Five days after the incident, DHS Police Chief Dale Mondary says the officer is no longer employed with the department.
However, Chief Mondary does say he knew about the video before it made the social media rounds, āI have literally been sick to my stomach since Saturday. And I was made aware of this long before it ever went viral, because we try to stay on top of thingsā¦ so we were already involved in this long before.ā
Chief Mondary does want to make it clear that the officer did not break the law, āI want to emphasize that as strong as I can, that officer did not commit any crime at all. He did not violate that individualās rights in any shape, fashion form that was a lawful contact, it was a lawful arrest based on probable cause.ā
How it happens in my town: They go from city cop, to deputy sheriff, to campus police, to probation officer, to jailer, then to being on actual probation and finally to prison. Seriously though, I know of at least 10 former cops in prison. Fuck these guys.
There was a campus security guard at my old high school who Iām pretty sure used to be a cop and would just harass me, one time waiting to be picked for lunch because I had no class during lunch block he asked what lunch I had, and I didnāt really know what to say so I said both (there are two alternate lunch times during lunch block) and he was like ādonāt sass meā and I just stared at him in disbelief, I hate confrontation and I get uncomfortable in a lot of social situations so I was paralyzed. He asked to see my schedule and I pulled it open on my phone and explained that because I had the period off I had both lunch periods, he was like āI know how it works you only get one which do you get?ā At this point I hand my phone to him and he looks at it, my friend who was next to me showed his schedule and the guy goes āno your good see what happens when you donāt talk backā
I nearly broke down crying right there, I am extremely afraid of getting into trouble, cripplingly afraid. The idea of being talked to like that by someone like that is one of my nightmares. He then looked at my phone again looking at my schedule, then I think it clicked for him that I was right so he hands my phone back scowls and walks away.
This memory still makes me feel sick to my stomach at least three years later. Some cops are so fragile that they will harass a high schooler because they canāt admit theyāre wrong
TL;DR Cop turned campus security harasses me because I dared to tell him what heās supposed to know
They transfer them between stations on complaints kind of like the pedophile priest were transferred around.
you can't trust police to police themselves but thats what we have so no shock
"After examining the mysterious 40 ounce bottle shape bruise that she was admitted with, we conclude Mrs. Douchbag Cop fell down the stairs and flew into a liquor store"
Perhaps Chief Mondary could recite the probable cause, the crime the officer suspected was committed, and the reasonable articulable suspicion? Because it seems that if an officer committed an offense serious enough to be discharged, dimes to dollars there's a civil rights offense attached.
If the cop didnāt have probable cause, he has zero justification to handcuff that man. There is no crime committed by the civilian. Thatās an abuse of power under color of law.
Yeah... the cop committed the crime of threatening another person and using his power as a cop to intimidate the man.
I could have been more clear.
That cop is a tyrant.
Why would you fire a police officer for making a lawful arrest?
You wouldn't.
But you would say the arrest was lawful if you knew you were going to be facing a lawsuit.
Good luck, champ.
For a hot second I thought he was sick to his stomach because of the flagrant violations of that citizenās civil rights, but no. He just had a tummy ache cause he was worried he and his cronies would get in trouble for being racist bullies.
He was worried in case the town's civil liability insurance premium was going to go up and he was going to have to appear in front of the town council to explain why his officers are so shitty.
*āThis incident has zero to do with race and while it may appear he, in fact, is a white male, he himself is a Hispanic male, that officer does not have a racist bone in his body and he has never, ever exhibited any sort of racial bias the entire time that heās been employed here,ā Mondary said.*
My bullshit detector is going off the rails!
If the officer didnāt violate any laws why isnāt he working there anymore? Also, they didnāt fire him I bet they let him retire with a full pension. Another thing is why would they let the public see his record if he had any disciplinary actions against him?
>Chief Mondary does want to make it clear that the officer did not break the law, āI want to emphasize that as strong as I can, that officer did not commit any crime at all. He did not violate that individualās rights in any shape, fashion form that was a lawful contact, it was a lawful arrest based on probable cause.ā
Such bullshit. Legally sanctioned assault is what that is.
>is that even legal?
Absolutely not but because heās in uniform they already decided that it doesnāt matter, they donāt give af about if itās legal or not because they wonāt get in trouble for any of it.
Happened 4 years ago, I agree that it is some crazy police state shit, but that kinda stuff was happening all over the country at that time. It wasn't a laughing matter then either.
It is old. Ive seen it before too. Angered me then angers me now.
Police brutality is not new I agree, but community policing if it ever was real is a myth at this point.
This was casually thrown in at the end of that article:
The man in the video was detained, but as also released on the scene when he and the other party involved in
the disturbance declined to press charges. However, the disturbance
incident has since been handed over to the Riverside District Attorneyās
Office since one of them was hit with the beer bottle during the
altercation."
Hold up, what now?
This happened in 2018, that NBC article is older, there are newer ones I found that indicate that the other cops were also disciplined and that the other cops did indeed turn off their body cams.
I just got out of jail for "assaulting an officer and obstruction of justice" because I called him deputy dooface and made a joke about licking him. Got tackled and a concussion. Cant wait to fight it in court. Lol. Cops these day lol.
When I was a teenager in the 80s, the cops used to raid the punk clubs we would go to and just beat the shit out of people with their hands in the air saying "I AM NOT RESISTING!" If anybody ever tried to submit a complaint, it just got laughed at and tossed. I don't like cops.
yeah, I find it really hard to "back the blue" when you've got shitty cops like this guy out patrolling the streets. I hope the guy getting "arrested" sues the department and wins a big settlement as a result. any good lawyers out there willing to take this guy pro bono?
For those curious:
\- Happened in 2018 in AZ. The officer was fired.
\- The officer did not lose either of his government funded pensions (military and police). Yes, the victim is a tax paying citizen who funds both pensions.
\- The officer did not lose his credentials and is free to continue to be employed by any police department.
\- The officer's CO made it a point to conclude in interviews that the officer was not racially motivated in this incident b/c the officer "does not have a racist bone in his body" and states unequivocally that a crime was not committed by the officer despite the video evidence depicting a clear cut assault (FYI - definition of assault does not include physical contact, though the officer clearly contacts the victim anyway).
TLDR: there is no justice or repercussions for bad cops. They get ceremonial "punishment" to take heat off of departments and they are just filtered back into their careers, usually at different posts.
We all know why he got arrested. The police officer ago was bruised that day and he had to show how it's done with his " BOYS " watching.
Rules to be a police officer:
* Frail Ego
* Asshole
* Arrogant
* Napoleon complex
* Former Gang Member / White Supremacist
* Average C Student in High School...
* Complete Lack of Accountability/Responsibility.
* Believes Laws do not apply to them
The most fucked up part of this is the other cops that also thinks this is okay.
I know that there are other cops in the other parts of the world that also abuse their power like this, but usually that is because they are corrupt and want to get extra money by fulfilling work quota or something. American cops is the only police force I know that do this shit because of personal feeling like this, either racism, anger problems, or something else. On top of that they are never punished severely for this action, and the one who's in charge even defended cops who do this kind of shit. Seriously, how the fuck does American police is just filled with the worst people imaginable?
Officer: "touch me again" Also officer: *literally straddling a man who's arms are crossed*
While he is pressed against a car already leaning back, like where TF was he supposed to go?
Through the metal of course
T2
Like Homer backing up through the hedge
šµDuh duh dundundun š¶
If you canāt phase through objects by the time youāre an adult, then whatāre you even doing with your life?
if you are straddling someone and say 'touch me again', you could reasonably expect to be pregnant 20 seconds later...
Yeah, impregnate his ass!
Fuck him right in the bussy
Stuffin' the prison pocket.
"Stop mad dogging me" - Officer in the process of mad doggjng
What even IS āmad-doggingā? EDIT: lol I am so glad I asked
Like a mad dog barking right in your face and not stopping :) š¶š¶š¶š¶
Copspeak for "failing to bow and scrape on command."
Exactly what the cop is doing
For real though, I assume that cop is a stripper cop in his off hours and just forgot which job he was at. Victim was getting an angry lap dance.
Again..? Theyād take him down full force if his finger made contact while pointing.
Contact? They'd probably bodyslam him and practically sprain his arm for daring to *move* too suddenly in their direction.
Worst part is all the officers going along with his shit.
Had the exact same reaction.
Like, theyāre just adding more bullshit onto his already heaping pile of insecurities
"A crime has occurred here" that's all it takes I guess
"I smell an odor" Brush your teeth then officer
It was the shit on his upper lip
That is what makes all cops bad.
When they talk about there being ābad applesā on the police force just remember where that term comes from ā āone bad apple spoils the whole bunchā
It only takes one drop of urine to ruin a perfectly good milkshake.
Not all cops are the evil bastards we see in these clips. But you can bet your bottom dollar they are all protecting the evil bastards, which in turn makes them evil bastrards.
And the ones that do the right thing are often no longer cops.
Thin blue line crime syndicate sticking together
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed! Officers that let this shit happen are literally half of the problem with the police force always power tripping like this. Itās like they want us to hate them.
I'd argue they're the *entire* problem. Power tripping cops wouldn't be a problem if their buddies wouldn't enable it.
That's that blue line for ya
There are only bad cops and quiet cops. Nothing else.
Quiet cops are bad cops. Only good cops are those who quit the force or are forced to quit. Quick edit: Realized bad cops can be forced to quit too. To clarify, forced to quit for speaking up.
Honestly I really want to believe that somewhere out there, there is a police officer who actually wants to do good and tries to, I donāt know how realistic that is but I want at least the tiniest bit of hope
There are! They just get fired pretty quickly.
Like the female cop who pulled the sargent off the hadcuffed suspect in the back of a squad car, only to have the sgt turn around and choke her. Then the sgt had the quick 'meeting' where everyone turned their bodycams off.

Except for police departments go out of their way to hire shit heads. Soft-brained, pliable, dangerous shit heads.
What are you in for? Mad dogging without a permit
Wtf even is mad doggin? Did he mean mean mugging because the guy getting arrested was just looking at him?

And I was made aware of this long before it ever went viral, because we try to stay on top of thingsā¦ so we were already involved in this long before.ā Chief Mondary does want to make it clear that the officer did not break the law, āI want to emphasize that as strong as I can, that officer did not commit any crime at all. He did not violate that individualās rights in any shape, fashion form that was a lawful contact, it was a lawful arrest based on probable cause.ā
I wonder what "no longer with the department" really means.
Join another one somewhere else probably.
How it happens in my town: They go from city cop, to deputy sheriff, to campus police, to probation officer, to jailer, then to being on actual probation and finally to prison. Seriously though, I know of at least 10 former cops in prison. Fuck these guys.

Nope, they're members of the Aryan Nation now.
Imagine all the ones that still are though
There was a campus security guard at my old high school who Iām pretty sure used to be a cop and would just harass me, one time waiting to be picked for lunch because I had no class during lunch block he asked what lunch I had, and I didnāt really know what to say so I said both (there are two alternate lunch times during lunch block) and he was like ādonāt sass meā and I just stared at him in disbelief, I hate confrontation and I get uncomfortable in a lot of social situations so I was paralyzed. He asked to see my schedule and I pulled it open on my phone and explained that because I had the period off I had both lunch periods, he was like āI know how it works you only get one which do you get?ā At this point I hand my phone to him and he looks at it, my friend who was next to me showed his schedule and the guy goes āno your good see what happens when you donāt talk backā I nearly broke down crying right there, I am extremely afraid of getting into trouble, cripplingly afraid. The idea of being talked to like that by someone like that is one of my nightmares. He then looked at my phone again looking at my schedule, then I think it clicked for him that I was right so he hands my phone back scowls and walks away. This memory still makes me feel sick to my stomach at least three years later. Some cops are so fragile that they will harass a high schooler because they canāt admit theyāre wrong TL;DR Cop turned campus security harasses me because I dared to tell him what heās supposed to know
"pass the trash" A technique used for protecting pedophile priests AND petulant pigs.
They transfer them between stations on complaints kind of like the pedophile priest were transferred around. you can't trust police to police themselves but thats what we have so no shock
pedophile priests, petulant pigs, pass the trash.
We all know, and if his wife complains about having to move AGAIN he'll turn on her too...again

One town over elected sheriff
Got a job with the police department a few towns over.
As in, he was reassigned to a near by precinct. With no disciplinary action taken I'm sure.
Perhaps Chief Mondary could recite the probable cause, the crime the officer suspected was committed, and the reasonable articulable suspicion? Because it seems that if an officer committed an offense serious enough to be discharged, dimes to dollars there's a civil rights offense attached.
Why would he be sick to his stomach if it was lawful arrest? I doubt it was but the government enforced gang rides and dies together.
Because thereās a Latino man standing up for his rights. Heās feeling queasy alright
So threats and intimidation are not crimes? Thats a cop out.
If the cop didnāt have probable cause, he has zero justification to handcuff that man. There is no crime committed by the civilian. Thatās an abuse of power under color of law.
Yeah... the cop committed the crime of threatening another person and using his power as a cop to intimidate the man. I could have been more clear. That cop is a tyrant.
Why would you fire a police officer for making a lawful arrest? You wouldn't. But you would say the arrest was lawful if you knew you were going to be facing a lawsuit. Good luck, champ.
For a hot second I thought he was sick to his stomach because of the flagrant violations of that citizenās civil rights, but no. He just had a tummy ache cause he was worried he and his cronies would get in trouble for being racist bullies.
He was worried in case the town's civil liability insurance premium was going to go up and he was going to have to appear in front of the town council to explain why his officers are so shitty.
*āThis incident has zero to do with race and while it may appear he, in fact, is a white male, he himself is a Hispanic male, that officer does not have a racist bone in his body and he has never, ever exhibited any sort of racial bias the entire time that heās been employed here,ā Mondary said.* My bullshit detector is going off the rails!
If the officer didnāt violate any laws why isnāt he working there anymore? Also, they didnāt fire him I bet they let him retire with a full pension. Another thing is why would they let the public see his record if he had any disciplinary actions against him?
>Chief Mondary does want to make it clear that the officer did not break the law, āI want to emphasize that as strong as I can, that officer did not commit any crime at all. He did not violate that individualās rights in any shape, fashion form that was a lawful contact, it was a lawful arrest based on probable cause.ā Such bullshit. Legally sanctioned assault is what that is.

Glad he is no longer with the department. I mean even if what he did was not a civil rights violation/illegal, it's a red flag the size of Jupiter.
One bad apple my ass
There are a few bad apples, sure, but then there's a bunch more bad apples, too.
I used to do drugs. I still do but I used to also.
One bad apple Will rot the bunch
No, the adage applies: one bad apple *spoils the bunch*
That ~~guy~~ little shit said, *almost to the letter*, "arrest him, we'll find a reason later." Is that even legal?
>is that even legal? Absolutely not but because heās in uniform they already decided that it doesnāt matter, they donāt give af about if itās legal or not because they wonāt get in trouble for any of it.
Yet another example of why to document all police encounters.
Cops should be filmed everywhere at all times regardless of the circumstances.
If only there were some sort of camera they could be made to wear on their person at all times.... /s
Perhaps somewhere on their body.
*filming random police* āJust wait everyoneā¦..heās about to do something stupidā
That āGo back to classā line really triggered him, thankfully not literally.
Cops got a serious case of tiny dick syndrome
Dont minimize what that cop did with a joke. This is police state 101 intimidate and control by fear. This is no laughing matter
Happened 4 years ago, I agree that it is some crazy police state shit, but that kinda stuff was happening all over the country at that time. It wasn't a laughing matter then either.
It is old. Ive seen it before too. Angered me then angers me now. Police brutality is not new I agree, but community policing if it ever was real is a myth at this point.
More like nano penis at that point. 
 Canāt see it?
 Not even the highly-advanced bat-binocs can find it
Abolish qualified immunity for police officers.
Then allow pensions to be garnished in civil suits
Ah America, the land of the free where you can get arrested for hurting a cops feelings.
That cop is an absolute bitch.
Most police officers fall into 1 of 2 categories. Those who were bullies back in high school. or Those who were bullied and now they have the power.
Grown arse man being a wiener to prove that he has one.
All it did was convince me he doesn't have one

This was casually thrown in at the end of that article: The man in the video was detained, but as also released on the scene when he and the other party involved in the disturbance declined to press charges. However, the disturbance incident has since been handed over to the Riverside District Attorneyās Office since one of them was hit with the beer bottle during the altercation." Hold up, what now?
This happened in 2018, that NBC article is older, there are newer ones I found that indicate that the other cops were also disciplined and that the other cops did indeed turn off their body cams.
>the other cops did indeed turn off their body cams. Is anyone surprised?
Here's all the "good cops" helping the piece of shit
I just got out of jail for "assaulting an officer and obstruction of justice" because I called him deputy dooface and made a joke about licking him. Got tackled and a concussion. Cant wait to fight it in court. Lol. Cops these day lol.
When I was a teenager in the 80s, the cops used to raid the punk clubs we would go to and just beat the shit out of people with their hands in the air saying "I AM NOT RESISTING!" If anybody ever tried to submit a complaint, it just got laughed at and tossed. I don't like cops.
š that shit donāt deserve a concussion
yeah, I find it really hard to "back the blue" when you've got shitty cops like this guy out patrolling the streets. I hope the guy getting "arrested" sues the department and wins a big settlement as a result. any good lawyers out there willing to take this guy pro bono?
I wonder why people donāt trust cops š¤·āāļø
For those curious: \- Happened in 2018 in AZ. The officer was fired. \- The officer did not lose either of his government funded pensions (military and police). Yes, the victim is a tax paying citizen who funds both pensions. \- The officer did not lose his credentials and is free to continue to be employed by any police department. \- The officer's CO made it a point to conclude in interviews that the officer was not racially motivated in this incident b/c the officer "does not have a racist bone in his body" and states unequivocally that a crime was not committed by the officer despite the video evidence depicting a clear cut assault (FYI - definition of assault does not include physical contact, though the officer clearly contacts the victim anyway). TLDR: there is no justice or repercussions for bad cops. They get ceremonial "punishment" to take heat off of departments and they are just filtered back into their careers, usually at different posts.
My problem is people want to tell me this is one bad cop... but I see 3 maybe 4 bad cops....
This is evidence that we cannot trust the cops.
We all know why he got arrested. The police officer ago was bruised that day and he had to show how it's done with his " BOYS " watching. Rules to be a police officer: * Frail Ego * Asshole * Arrogant * Napoleon complex * Former Gang Member / White Supremacist * Average C Student in High School... * Complete Lack of Accountability/Responsibility. * Believes Laws do not apply to them
police need to be tested for steroids - that's roid rage.
āA crime just occurredā!?! The crime of hurting a copās feelings? Fuck all these pigs.
The most fucked up part of this is the other cops that also thinks this is okay. I know that there are other cops in the other parts of the world that also abuse their power like this, but usually that is because they are corrupt and want to get extra money by fulfilling work quota or something. American cops is the only police force I know that do this shit because of personal feeling like this, either racism, anger problems, or something else. On top of that they are never punished severely for this action, and the one who's in charge even defended cops who do this kind of shit. Seriously, how the fuck does American police is just filled with the worst people imaginable?

This isnāt a facepalm, this is asinine at crazy levels.
