Running "Cops be crazy yo" thread

So you're saying as an adult, you're scared of a bunch of teenagers despite all that training you received as a cop to use alternate methods for crowd control to diffuse a situation instead of escalating it? Glad you're not in law enforcement if your first reaction is to always pull your weapon.

 

If I'm one of the two cops who were maintaining peace and trying to calm the situation I wanna' pistol-whip this fool ass for nearly escalating this into a riot. I saw a bunch of confused kids milling about wondering what the fuck was going on while this guy was doing barrel rolls like he's fucking T.J. Hooker.

 

No. In case you haven't noticed, some cops overinduldge in the use of force. Until people started filming them with iPhones, they almost always got away with it. Who's going to argue?

These videos may be the best thing that has happened to improve policing in 100 years.

 

If there is no video of this, the girl who was taken down and the boys who came rushing are hauled off to juvie and probably get a mark on their record, and the police chief stands squarely behind his valiant serviceman who is just trying to make the community safer.

Film everything. EVERYTHING.

 

Who's the guy in the jorts and tan shirt?
Does he have any official authority?

 

Hey, what are the cops afraid of?

 

Filmed.

Not for the weak. Lots of blood. Pool of blood. Drowning in an ocean of blood.

"Stay with me, buddy. Stay with me."

Was that for the camera? You just shot him in the chest!

 

Not in the least.

I am more uneasy by seeing how many times the narrative of the official police report has only a passing resemblance to the youtube video we are watching.

 

From my review of criminal procedure history in law school, my conclusion is that law enforcement's attempts at "self-regulation" (we'll honor the Constitution, we don't need any outside scrutiny!) are laughable. Until there is a price to be paid, law enforcement just protects themselves.

 

Nothing excuses the cop's behavior and I hope he gets fired and sued. But every report I've seen is burying the fact deep in the story that the kids did not live at the community and were trespassing at the pool that is reserved for residents and no more than two guests.
All that said, the cops who stayed calm handled things very well. One butthole fuels the fire.

 

Pretty long list. Girls in bikinis for one.
