Works for me. I have no idea what could be up with it.
Maybe this one is better.(Same story, different outlet.)
Anyway, point is, police are not the only ones with dangerous jobs. In fact there are many who have much more dangerous jobs who do not get to kill people to make them safer.
Baltimore cops still not getting it:
There’s more:
All of these cops that pull shit like this, should get the same thing done to them. Tasered, beaten, kicked to the head, shot, and even killed.
That seems to be a standard practice nationwide. That nurse in Denver who was arrested for refusing to give the police a blood sample from an accident victim? That was something similar - he was injured in a high speed pursuit when they guy they were chasing ran into him. Though he was a bystander, they wanted some first on him, so they were running a background check and trying to get a blood sample to check for drugs or alcohol - something to cast shade on him before they could get blamed.
Street justice? Vendetta? It’s happened before in history. It’s what you get, when there is NO other justice.
Baltimore police suspend officer who was shown in video repeatedly punching man
If I’m reading the article correctly the officer was suspended on the same day the incident occurred, so kudos on the Commissioner for not waiting until this became a media shitstorm to start dealing with it.
Unfortunately, yet another thug with a badge story.
By being off to the side of the guy, possibly behind some object. The shoot doesn’t need to have missed by a mile, but to have missed in the direction in which the manager happened to be.
Apparently black passengers carrying guns tend to sit in the passenger seat. Choosing that seat is like asking to be harrassed or arrested. In the following video, posted in another thread, it’s rather unclear why cops pulled the car over in the first place, but once they saw a black passenger in the passenger seat the cops knew their lives were in danger and acted appropriately.
The cop asks the driver four times if it’s his car. The driver answers four times that it’s a rental car. After all this insolence, the cop had little choice but to hand-cuff the driver. They pat down the passenger with a gun but — where’s the gun? They search the car thoroughly. Where’s the gun? Where’s that faint small of marijuana coming from? No planting of false evidence by these noble man and woman in blue.
But the most beautiful gun here was the gun the passenger-without-a-gun didn’t have. That gun’s non-existence was so beautiful that it may have saved the lives of one or two blacks in Iowa. Yaaayyy guns!
These would-be gun-toters were delayed only 12 minutes on their trip to the gun store, or wherever they were going, but, in this video which YouTube recommended for those who’d just watched “Dude keeps composure” a female possibly trying to smuggle a bomb was delayed almost an hour and missed her flight.
The woman was apparently carrying a bomb in a bottle of her own breast milk, or so the diligent TSA officials thought. But the TSA was on to her — she’d tried the same ruse a week or two earlier. The terrorist pointed out that TSA’s own regulations call for alternate inspection of breast milk, but the TSA agents went above-and-beyond the call of duty, carefully insisting on the X-ray inspections anyway. Don’t we need more TSA inspectors like this, willing to bend the rules to Make America Safe Again?
Worried that the undiscovered bomb might be on a timer, the TSA agents kept the possible bomb-maker and her bomb in the special detention cell for half-an-hour before proceeding with the inspection, putting their own lives at risk from a sudden bomb explosion rather than letting her board the plane and put all its passengers at risk.
Contrast these episodes with the lackadaisical policing I saw just a few days ago in rural Thailand. The police knew methamphetamine was being consumed and possibly sold from the poor squatter's house near my own home. Police went in to confront the criminals and noted a bedridden almost-paralyzed woman the criminals were tending daily.
I'm sure the diligent and brave police in the U.S. would have tazed grandma a few times to see if she was faking, then left laughing with everyone else in handcuffs. Do the Thai cops do that? Nope, gross dereliction of duty was the order of the day. Seeing the elderly woman needed her care-givers, the cops left empty-handed; the criminal methheads were free to continue eating their pills (when they could scratch together enough money to buy one). These soft-hearted cops even handed grandma the equivalent of $10.
***Corrupted*** so easily by a little bit of pity — how utterly contemptible. No wonder Americans discussing a possible move to a less-developed country are happy to emphasize the sterling qualities of conscientious law enforcement officers in the U.S. in contrast to the police corruption in a place like Thailand.
.The police ordered her to drop her knife; she didn’t–so naturally they Tased her.
After being Tased and arrested, Al-Bishara was charged with trespassing and obstruction.
Seriously? If you are terrified of an 87 year old woman, you have no business being on the police force.
Hard to say if there was anger or malice, though I would not be so quick to rule them out. Pure and unadulterated cowardice, lack of capability of judgement, and complete absence of any form of empathy, however, are on full display.
Being a bully seems to be prerequisite for police work; many bullies are also cowards.
According to the 'Net and BLS, here are the ten most deadly occupations in America; the numbers show fatal injuries per 100,000 and absolute number of deaths.
1 Logging workers 135.9 91
2 Fishers and related fishing workers 86 24
3 Aircraft pilots and flight engineers 55.5 75
4 Roofers 48.6 101
5 Trash and recycling collectors 34.1 31
6 Iron and steel workers 25.1 16
7 Truck and sales drivers 24.7 918
8 Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers 23.1 260
9 First-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers 18 134
10 Grounds maintenance workers 17.4 217
Law enforcement occupations do not appear on the list. (I’m surprised fire fighters are also missing from the list.)
BTW, **k9bfriender** — *Congratulations!* I see in another thread you are now a member of the *Ilk*. Can I come to your meetings or do I have to learn the secret handshake? (I don't remember whether I was ever admitted to the Ilk or not, and Dear Esquire is no longer speaking to me.)They do it to discredit the victims and the witnesses against them.
Exactly. Get off the force, get out, and give up the “right” to carry a weapon.
Here’s a couple of incidents that I don’t think have been covered yet.
Kansas City-area security guard fired for going into a bar and ordering a “Trayvon Martini”:
Disbelief runs deep on the street where Baltimore police detective was found shot to death
Cop found shot to death. Police department rules it a suicide. Cop was due to testify against other cops the next day.
Witness says he hear 3 shots that day.
It is possible that man who was scheduled to testify in a police corruption case could commit suicide. But the department he was going to testify against should not have ANY part in that investigation or determination. That’s a no-brainer, right?
Yes, that is the type of stuff gangs do.
The guy just wanted to be sure he killed himself.
He was just following his training, with a perfect failure drill.
Double tap to the torso, and then when that didn’t stop him(self), he put one in his own head.
That seems like a fairly easy thing to verify. According (allegedly) to the police report, he was shot with his own service revolver. I would hope an autopsy could establish how many times he was shot, and how many bullets were gone from his weapon. Were any other bullets recovered from the scene? Was it a contact or near-contact wound? The article mentions there was surveillance video from the scene - what does it show? Was there anybody else around?
Witness testimony is one thing - physical evidence is another.
Of course there are always going to be people who say he was shot from the grassy knoll, but there isn’t much that can be done about that.

What police department wrote that police report? What police department gathered that forensic evidence?
