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

“I hope you’re ready to explain this law/policy to the families of cops who get killed by guns disguised as cel phones, fingers, penguins, etc. It’s practically an epidemic right now; it’s only gonna get worse if this kind of proposal goes through.”

:rolleyes:

I think the issue is that they put her what had to be an intensely traumatizing experience–I can’t even imagine the pain, and the very realistic possibility that she and/or her baby were going to die there cold and alone. And this went on for hours. To, after that, put her right back where the trauma occurred as quickly as medically feasible seems incredibly inhumane. This is a jail, not a prison: s he was arrested a month before the birth and does not appear to have been tried. We are very likely talking about someone being held because they can’t post bail.

She was put through a profoundly horrific experience at the hands of these people. Returning her to their hands seems . . .insane. Especially if she hasn’t even been convicted of a crime.

There was a conspiracy! We were trying to keep shit secret…and they conspired to make it public!!

He wouldn’t tell us who the source was, so it was conspiracy!

Yes, it’s called a leaked report. This is unmitigated bullshit.

You are a lying motherfucker.

I really, really, really want to punch this guy.

"Why did you make us do that?!?!?

Sealed search warrants. SEALED SEARCH WARRANTS?!?!?!?

You think???

To clarify, here is an SFGate story that covers the police report in question. The troubling aspect to it is that Adachi was very adamant about protecting people against police abuses.

Fuck ‘em, right? They’re black so it doesn’t matter, right?

I guess this goes here: Fugitive with seven outstanding warrants agrees to turn himself in if his wanted poster on Facebook gets 15,000 likes.

The cops negotiated him down from 20,000.

ETA: The Facebook page in question.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

No, that’s a very stupid thing to say.

“Reasonable” is different from a knee-jerk reaction, which you may not recognize. Best of luck to you in working to overcome your intellectual deficits.

Police officer fired after punching, using Taser on woman in front of her daughter

Because this dangerous criminal had a warrant on an outstanding speeding ticket. Which has not yet been confirmed, BTW.

No matter. I am certain this man will employed as a police officer in Decatur or Marietta by the end of the month.

You are just another racist dipshit. A worthless piece of shit.

Right: TokyoBayer was channeling you, so of course it was a stupid thing to say.

Many, many years ago I thought Shodan was alright. Then his true colors slowly came out.

Maybe we need iiandyii to link where that slime admits to calling blacks “niggers”.

It doesn’t matter if a racist fuck can occasionally come up with a clever line. He’s still a racist fuck.

Quoting the voices in your head again is not a good sign. Have you had your meds re-evaluated lately?

You forgot a pair of i’s, but I’m still happy to assist: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=20337966#post20337966

Sorry about the name!

That’s it.

What is it about these racist guys who get hard ons when blacks use the term?

Dude, you are quoting yourself here.

Are you sure that you are alright? Do you need to talk o someone about the stress that you are under in doing your part in supporting a fascist regime?

Welcome back!

How was prison? Did you make any friends there?

Regards,
Shodan

Of course, you being the fascist supporter that you are, would hope that those you disagree with would end up in prison (or dead), but sadly for your fragile insecurities, your fantasies did not come true.

OTOH, yes, I did make some friends while I was gone, thank you for asking.

How many of your friends discovered what a shitty person you are and want nothing more to do with you, or do you not have any left?

Anyone want to defend this cop?

The video is towards the bottom.

The guy filming is much more calm than the cop is, even though the cop is pointing a gun in his face the whole time. The cop tells him to shut the car off and also tells him not to move those hands – the guy filming rightly just keeps his hands in the air to avoid getting shot. Then, he gets arrested for not complying with a lawful order – which one? Don’t move those hands? Turn the car off? How could he do both? The cop tells the driver to get out of the car, but it’s still in drive – what’s he supposed to do?

At one point, the cop yells “Gun!” as though the gun were putting him in danger. However, it was in the back seat, lawful, and registered to the driver. And, you can open carry in Arkansas without a permit anyway, so why is the cop surprised to see a gun?

It really looked like he was itching to shoot that driver, but admittedly, that’s my own editorial slant.

People have said it before here, but it seems like civilians are expected to treat cops like they are wild animals – move slowly, take all responsibility for de-escalating. That’s just what this driver did, of course. Smart man! That may be why he’s still alive.

So, who is going to defend the behavior of this cop?
