Not guilty. The next person that tells me that police serve and protect might get puked on.https://youtu.be/qYRRSdjdcbo
It reminds me of the swastika-tatted cops...what behaviours and signs should/can we designate as disqualifying for career of such gravity and consequence?
We need to double all our expectations on who should be an officer and how they should be trained and managed. In order to jump start and sustain those expectations, we need to triple their salaries.
It will never happen.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
rgambs said:This case perfectly illustrates one of the double standard in policing that bothers me.
There are two men in that hallway that fear for their lives.
One is wearing body armour and has an assault rifle drawn with his finger at the trigger. He has countless hours of training and experience in dealing with fear inducing situations in his chosen career and there is no immediate threat to his life, but there is a possible threat to be considered.
The other is a half? drunk dude trying to comply with (ridiculously complicated and unnecessary) instructions while staring at a loaded rifle aimed at his head. He has zero training and has never been in a situation like this before, he is literally being threatened verbally and physically with death.
The expectations placed on the two men respectively are entirely reversed to what logic would dictate.
The one with training, experience, and appropriate tools is given wide latitude to respond to fear emotionally and irrationally, and the one who has no training, no experience, and no tools with which to cope is expected to respond to fear with perfect composure.
It was truly as if this cop had no interest in walking out of the hotel without shooting someone.

https://news.vice.com/story/shot-by-cops
An exclusive analysis of data from the 50 largest local police departments in the United States shows that police shoot Americans more than twice as often as previously known.
Police shootings aren’t just undercounted — police in these departments shoot black people at a higher rate and shoot unarmed people far more often than any data has shown. Recent reform efforts have already worked to bring down police shootings, our investigation shows. Yet Attorney General Jeff Sessions is moving away from these reforms, to the dismay of advocates, experts, and some local law enforcement officials.

If you actually cared about progressive values and weren't just using that as your trolling theme, the extremely long list of regressions taking place would have stopped those words from passing your lips.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
