Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians - the omnibus thread

What about the initial trumped up arrest?

And you need to lighten up Francis.

I prescribe a watching of Monty Python’s Holy Grail. Then you won’t post dumb stuff like this.

Please Taze him, bro.

They may be crazy, but they don’t want to be killed. At least not usually.

Police brutality video from Detroit

Guilty of driving while black.

:confused: Does this mean you don’t believe the story?

Of course she’s lying. She’s not a cop!

No, that’s not what I meant at all, and I guess I phrased it badly. I simply don’t understand how a system that lets so many people through the cracks could do this. Pure bafflement. If only because I would expect them to find any excuse to get someone out of there, as they seem to do even when people are genuinely ill.

Abu Ghraib or an American prison? Aw, who can tell the difference anymore?

Another reason to have a video camera on you at all times.

Woman records her parole officer raping her because she knows she won’t be believed otherwise

The video must be quite damning because he was immediately fired and charged.

The parole officer is lucky she didn’t go all Lisbeth Salander and rape him with a bedpost. Hopefully he’ll get to experience rape in prison, though.

…no, hopefully he won’t. What a stupid, moronic, absolutely disgusting thing to say.

If life hasn’t taughr him not to rape, I doubt a few years in prison will. Rape has an extremely high rate of recidivism. One of the highest of all crimes, in fact. Given that, maybe prison rape would do more than mere incarceration.

…you know, being pro-rape isn’t something to be proud of dude.

You mean rewarding predators in prison with some fresh meat to rape is wrong? What a world.

This piece of shit was a parole officer for 25 years. It’s unlikely this was his first victim.

Neither is being naive about the psychology of rapists, hmm?

Exactly. Once a rapist, always a rapist.

…I’m not naive about the “psychology of rapists.” How on earth can you tell that from the two sentences I’ve written to you?

You do realize that there is no literature out there that supports the theory that rape prevents rape? You do realize that in order for someone to get raped, there needs to be another rapist? You do realize that you support state sanctioned rape? That the pool of recidivist rapists would get bigger if your wish were granted?

I’m not the naive one.

Well, yeah. It’s sort of like “Once you are judged to have murdered someone, you will always be a murderer”.
