    In this case it seems like it's a slam dunk, but to suspend police without pay pending a long suspension would be a hardship: they don't make very much to begin with and there are bills to pay.

    The process is there for a reason. Don't be daft.

    It isnt just a police issue, I just dont think that is right in any job.
    My wife is a stay at home mom, so I am the sole provider right now. That wouldn't help at all. If I was unpaid for for a couple months due to a false accusation at work I'd be behind in my mortgage and pretty much every other payment after the first month. My credit would take a big hit, I'd have penalties and fees for late payments. If the investigation went on more than 2 or 3 months I'd probably have services cut off. Backpay when I'm found innocent wouldn't help me much at that point.
    I don't think that is the right thing to do in any job.

    Correct.

    Unsung's post is more a snide reflection on how he feels about the profession. He knew this already- he just cares very little for the police and sees them all as worthless.

    Since most if not all police are in a union I am sure the officers union  will make sure he gets what needs based on the duly negotiated union  contract.

    "Testilying"

    Ample evidence that some police officers are concocting scenarios to allow them to proceed with charges, knowing they have tainted or outright manufactured evidence. Even worse, it seems they rarely get sanctioned for it; in fact, even when their conduct is discovered, some go on to get promoted. Meanwhile, the individuals that they targeted have to spend weeks, months or years fighting this in court, or simply give up and plead guilty to get it over with.

    I've been defending these guys as much as I can, but they are becoming indefensible (warning for disturbing content):



    Edit: I should add I don't know any details, but I'm not sure what details I'd need to know?

    A guy in a wheelchair can still have a gun.
    Not saying he did. Just saying details are important, and I think it is dangerous to make judgements without them.
    Clearly the cops felt threatened by this guy. Now was it justified? I have no idea, I haven't heard or read anything about this case. Until then it doesn't mean much to me.
  • It just doesn't look good, Mace. They acted as if there was a shot clock or something. When they riddled him with bullets... he was just sitting there.

    I have no problem with them taking aim and being prepared to shoot him if he escalates his behaviour in a meaningful way. My problem with this video is that they seem to run out of patience and kill him. I would like to have seen some 'calming' methods try and diffuse the situation before resorting to the last tactic.

    I feel like I've seen this video quite awhile ago. I could be wrong but I think it's old.

    Yup, old news.

    Charges against the cop who shot a woman in an Minneapolis alley.

    http://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-police-officer-mohamed-noor-turns-himself-in-on-charges-in-justine-damond-killing/477405923/#1

    Good. But it shouldn't be lost on anyone that this rare charge is on a black cop who killed a white woman.

    3,2,1, why doesn’t Unsung ever, ever chime in when it’s this type of situation? Why is that? Will he post how this victim had a previous? Will he cry his faux outrage at the injustice, hearing the victim’s grandmother call the cops murderers? Or is his concern only for white guys with 97 previous run ins with the law? Unsung?

    Because this one poster thinks he knows, got it all figured out, professes to care, but really? All he cares about is elimination of the white race and being a victim. I don’t suffer fools lightly.

    Show me a story where a cop shot a dog that was biting him and I will show you ten that the cop shot the dog that was behind a fence, chained, or in a vehicle.

    A dog doesn't have to bite a cop before the cop can defend himself against the attack.

    Really? Why are you so hung up on what one person posts on here? You don't agrree with each other. We get it.


    Don't bother.  Halifax is my stalker.  Odd, I don't know anything about him/her, but I also don't have internet obsessions over people that disagree with me.
    You going to shoot me through your front door as I ring your doorbell bearing a case?
