The police arent reducing their firepower to anything closely related to or weaker than any possible wet dream scenario that the attackers may obtain. None of this defund the police is worth discussing beyond silly pipe dreams.

This guy was accused of child rape decades ago and was allowed to stay in the force.

Depends on what "defund" means. I think what we'll see are attempts to reduce policing while maintaining a police presence. There are some pilot cases where that seems to work almost remarkably well for some reason. That makes sense. Where I live I have no problem with a zero-tolerance to crime approach because there's no crime to speak of. But in poor communities low-level crime is so prevalent that policing it won't make a difference anyway over and above what police presence already deters. It's like arresting and charging a jail inmate for stealing another inmate's toothbrush... what's the point.

I really thought you meant this guy here.

That Karen is about to get ****ed up

JFC
Those 1st 8 cases got a minimum of 20 years and they didn't find one oz of evidence that they had anything to do with drugs.
That lady towards the middle also, how can a community of 5,000 people support 46 drug dealers.

Insanity

This thread, and this forum for that matter, is not a place to post arbitrary videos of violence. Nor do I have any particular inkling to watch videos of violent assault and see if it adheres to 2+2 guidelines, thus I have removed 3 posts (2 posts containing videos and one reply).

Ridiculous cowboy policing shown in the video. Zero reason to Pit a car that has slowed and has its hazards on.

I have been in that situation and did no stop on a reduced shoulder stretch like that either and that is to protect the cop. All sorts of videos of cars slamming into the back of police cars when they are forced to stop too close to the road.


Woman files lawsuit hoping for policy change surrounding PIT maneuvers


In July 2020 Nicole Harper was driving home on I-67/167 outside Jacksonville when Senior Cpl. Rodney Dunn clocked her speeding.

Dunn says she fled, Harper clams she was trying to find a safe place to stop on a section of interstate that has a reduced shoulder.

Dash camera video from Dunn’s patrol car showed Harper pulled into the right lane, slowed down, and turned on hazards.

Less than two minutes after turning on his blue lights, Dunn performed a PIT maneuver, which caused Harper’s car to crash into the concrete median and flip.

“In my head I was going to lose the baby,” said Harper, who was pregnant with her daughter at the time of the crash.

Dunn’s body mic recorded him talking with Harper after the crash.

“Why didn’t you stop?” Dunn questioned.

“Because I didn’t feel it was safe,” Harper said. Dunn responded, “well this is where you ended up.”
Harper went on to say, “I thought it would be safe to wait until the exit.” Dunn said, “no ma’am, you pull over when law enforcement stops you.”

The PIT happened less than a mile from where the next exit and where the interstate shoulder widens....

“I feel like I had heard that’s what you do, you slow down, you put your flashers on and you drive to a safe place,” Harper explained.

Turns out that’s textbook what to do according to State Police’s “Driver License Study Guide.”Under

“What to do When You Are Stopped,” number one says to use, “emergency flashers to indicate to the officer that you are seeking a safe place to stop.”

After the crash, Dunn can be heard saying, “no we don’t anticipate vehicles rolling over nor do we want that to happen.” He went on to say, “all you had to do was slow down and stop.”...

PITs are becoming more common with State Police. Recent FOX 16 Investigates uncovered State Police attempted or used pits on at least 144 drivers last year. That’s almost double compared to the year before. In 2020 at least three people were killed during PITs, one was a passenger...

Other lawmakers on the committee say police shouldn’t be questioned.

“End of the day when somebody is fleeing I will never question the method police officer uses to stop them,” said Sen. Bart Hester (R-Cave Springs). “I don’t care if it’s 60 miles an hour, I don’t care if its 100 miles an hour, I want them stopped as soon as possible.”...

More than a hundred cops in north carolina deemed too untrustworthy to testify. Ofc they can still police and theit identities are kept secret

C’mon there’s only a few bad apples lol

Attempted murder. Straight up.

And yet he is still on the job and the Cops charged her with fleeing.

What could go wrong with predictive policing for kids, sounds like a solid plan

Just imagine how ****ed this guy would have been without the neighbourhood camera capturing this incident? How many felonies this guy would have been convicted of?

How the entire trajectory of his life would be forever changed.



And does anyone not think any investigations or charges these two have laid in the past should be vacated in the way a rogue prosecutors often are?

An oldie that just autostarted after my last one i posted.

Cop literally says '...because you are not complying'.

As i say. Comply or die. Comply and sometimes still die.



This cops entire position is based solely on his view that the 'lack of compliance IS the offense'.

surprised no one has posted the kid in a backpack with his hands up getting dropped by a taser for no reason.

Imagine killing a 16 year old, wearing a body cam, and then lying abt it as if your cam footage won't be checked

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...murder-charges

There is an assumption in law that criminals lie. They lie to protect themselves. They lie to indict others. They lie. What this means is that any evidence or testimony they give has to be treated by the system with a high degree of skepticism. It needs to be corroborated and if not its value, on a stand alone basis, is worth very little, in most instances. And that is a good thing as criminals have no credibility.


I think it is pretty clear, at this point, that such an assumption should also apply to police, at least during violent confrontations by people with the police.

A situation where the police conduct could be a problem for the officer can instantly be turned into one where he instead gets commendation simply by lying. By simply using a lie to label the innocent citizen a criminal, that person is then denied any credibly in their testimony.

I am not saying all cops lie like that, but what i am saying is the system needs to build in that 'corroboration is necessary' and if it not there (no video footage, independent witness, etc) then the value of that police testimony must be discounted immensely.

Just as an accused testimony needs to be discounted without corroboration so too should all police officers testimony. We can no longer ignore their self interest to lie and it's impact.

Black undercover beaten at blm protest while his white colleague ofc wasn't

https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgxa...-a-blm-protest

You fail to mention evidence was brought to a grand jury and they declined to bring charges. Where is the lying btw? Also where is the video?

Just crazy how many recording devices break down around cops. Will cops ever stop being so unlucky that the way to back up there story gets lost or damaged so often?

That's a paddlin'. We've got to assume that, as an undercover cop, he probably wasn't doing too much wrong other than being in an area and looking a certain way, right?

Anyone watch Chauvin's mom ?

It's amazing how the cops always take the "I'm a good guy role" and how their families buy into it.

I would hope if my son murdered someone in broad daylight on youtube I would do him the favor of shutting up.
