    Dogs can be trained to give false alerts in order to show probable cause.

    Yep, I'm not denying there aren't shitty cops out there. Dishonest and cheating people exist in all professions, even your new POTUS. I'd be less concerned about false alert dogs than a foul mouthed lie spewing leader of our country.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I'm not really sure what one has to do with the other but ok.

    Shitty people do exist in every profession, probably 10% in most professions, it is just that the shitty fry guy at McDonalds might spit in your food where instead the shitty cop might take your life because he was scared of losing his.

    I just saw a video on FB of a female officer pepper spraying a woman who was restrained to a chair at the ankles, wrists, and abdomen.
    She was later promoted to Captain, because, well, the blue line of course.

    Gas prisoner problem. Prison guard in Texas posted video of inmates getting gassed, he was only one charged for leaking video. Make sense??

    Prison guards and police should not be lumped together. Different standards of training and hiring requirements.

    But yeah, that gas stuff is nasty. Definitely worse than being tased or maced. Cleans off faster than most mace/CS though.

    Not surprised.

    To be fair, many gang organizations infiltrate police departments at various levels and to varying degrees.

    This was released somewhat recently by a judge's order if anyone remembers the story.

    It has graphic images.

    Why are they not rendering medical aid once the person has been incapacitated?

    Another oath breaking piece of garbage

    That's pretty brutal.
    This is yet another good example as to why all cars should be outfitted with dash cams (two of them - one to film the driver's side, and one to film out the windshield).
    I fail to see how this qualifies him as "another oath breaking piece of garbage."

    The cop was wrong, no question about that. The dude had a right to be upset, I would too.
    But doesn't everyone realize cops are human too, they are going to make a mistake? This mistake didn't cost anyone harm or injury, just couple minutes of the dude's time. Has no one else ever made a turn and accidentally cut someone off and not even realize it? It happens. I thought the cop was professional, he didn't yank the dude out of the car and beat him up for refusing to produce his registration

    The cop made a mistake, he was wrong, probably didn't even realize it. How does that make him a piece of garbage. I always thought I was the only one to never make a mistake, everyone else here hasn't either I guess, just these cops?

    You're really going to call everyone who makes a minor mistake at their job a piece of garbage? Cashier gave me the wrong change, piece of garbage! Dude at McDonalds gave me the wrong order, piece of garbage! The mailman lost my mail, what an oath breaking piece of garbage!
    You must hate everyone in your life.
    Wait a minute. That wasn't a minor mistake, and I think you're focusing on the wrong thing here. The cop was very clearly in the wrong, either by accident or not (I don't see how that could possibly be accidental. It looked to me like the cop was deliberately trying to "bully" his way through traffic), and his reaction was to chase the driver he almost caused an accident for and blame that driver for his own "mistake" (wasn't a mistake. That was an intentional driving move). That is a cop lying and trying to blame an innocent member of the public for his own bad behaviour. Either that, or the cop is delusional and hallucinating, or so full of himself that his brain automatically, subconsciously reversed fault, meaning the cop isn't fit to work in any case.

    That comment was from 4 or 5 months ago, so trying to remember the video.
    He was in the wrong, that wasn't in question.
    You could be right. But I just tend to lean towards what is least complicated and more practical. For a cop to intentionally try to cause accidents and then write tickets just doesnt make sense. He has nothing to gain, everything to lose. One complaint may go ignored, but you realize if the department gets several complaints about him driving like this they will open an investigation, and if a pattern is found he will lose his job.
    There is no motive for this to be intentional, no reason for him to try and cause an accident. If he wanted to just give out fake tickets, why draw attention to himself first? Just go pick some guy who he didn't almost hit and write a fake ticket.
    Nothing about this being intentional makes any sense to me. Which leaves me to believe it was an accident. Maybe he was responding to a call on his radio, maybe he was looking up a license plate, who knows, and was distracted. That seems more plausible to me.

    So, Derrick Stafford was convicted and sentenced to a 40 year sentence for the shooting death of the 6 year old autistic boy. The other officer will be tried later and it doesn't look good for him either.
    This is a very interesting turn of events, usually the court sides with officers to a fault.
    I can't help but wonder if the officers had been white and he victim black, would a New Orleans jury have delivered the same verdict?

    I seem to remember people here defending this shooting, but maybe I am wrong. There was essentially no evidence brought forward in trial that was any different than what we had, video of the shooting and knowledge that 2 other officers on scene did not feel threatened.

    As one of my stalkers you should review this very thread.  I am shocked you missed the numerous posts on such a topic.   Stop slacking.  And don't be an idiot.

    You posted this already.

    I asked you why this didn't include the fourth type? The type that goes to work and comes home after work doing the best they can.

    Ask yourself the same question you just asked of another person in your last post. You're losing your mind, man.
