Good Cop, Bad Cop: Law Enforcement Thread

[Speaker to Animals]

The comments are amazing.

If anybody else decided to drive up on a sidewalk outside a school with kids walking around, and killed a child, nobody would be saying "Why automatically blame the officer? There are so many things that should not have been present in this situation. It’s a terrible and sad accident. Focus on that please instead of starting the blame game."

'Oh, there's kids walking everywhere. I'll just drive onto the fucking sidewalk here.'

Papers, citizen, or else.

The veteran claimed to have footage of his altercation with the store employee, Why are we not seeing that? If he was suspected of breaking the law during that altercation (threatening violence etc) then the police are well within their rights to ask him for ID.
We are only getting part of the story here.
However, the escalation and roughing up of a disabled guy by the officers was completely unacceptable and unnecessary.
He shouldn't have resisted arrest at that point though, once arrested he should have gone quietly and made his argument in court.
At the end of the day, the store has no obligation to serve him, had he accepted that and moved on none of this would have happened.

They could just wheel him out the door.

The problem is that their mentality is always to look for a reason to arrest in order that the criminal justice industry remain fed. Instead they should always look for a way to keep the peace.

An easy solution is to wheel him out the door and tell him not to return to the store.

But that does not keep the cash flow into the courts and probation system.

People talk a lot about how this is a problem with police culture getting fucked up, but the reality is that police culture is a result of criminal justice being a kind of business. They are maximizing revenue. Police do what maximizes revenue to the state and the criminal justice system, not what best keeps the peace, and especially not what is safest for society.

The officers would go home safe that night though. Bet on it.

We should have seen the Coward of Broward County coming from a mile away. If cops are so afraid of little dogs, they aren't going to risk their lives to save kids.

Cops really know how to de-escalate situations like Walmart cursers and people who refuse to talk to them.
