5 most disturbing cop videos of 2017. We need accountability

[VivaRevolution]

What always scares me the most is when there are multiple cops around and yet they do nothing. Or worse, lie to cover another officers ass.

It sort of makes the 99% are good argument hard to defend.

BTW, police brutality is NOT racial.

Officers who brutalize the public must be held accountable. And they gotta test them for PEDs. I'm serious

Ha, never thought of a PED issue. I could see that being common among cops.

Accountability for the bad ones .
Better hiring criteria.
Routine psychology evaluation.
Less union dominance,more public oversight.

Can add,

Further & constant training/procedures in certain scenarios,
Example,
Use of weapons.
Subduing suspects using hand to hand.
Speech including commands.

Maybe increase the standard wage to hopefully entice brighter people.

Police to never work solo in dealing with suspects.

May come across as sexist but no unit is comprised of two female officers.

Like you mentioned, accountability times 100x.

It's an incredibility complex profession which can dispense death. So it requires as much assistance as possible.

Police working in Duo's I think is a simple, pleases all, solution. No push back from the police unions because it would require more cops.

Fuck that was hard to watch. Anyone trying to deflect away from this itt can eat shit.

Gore doesn't affect me much but the moment his voice starts to break is sad. I feel at that point, he knew what the end result was going to be.

That’s what it was. Shootings aren’t really gory. Surreal more than anything. But it’s knowing this guy is scared as shit, nervous and a cop is giving him contradictory instructions.

 

[HatchetHarry]

This is the worse type of post IMO. I hope you are just arguing extremes and can understand why this one really upsets people.

First it's not illegal to have a gun in a hotel. From my understanding the call was reporting a silhouette of a gun pointing towards the highway. The police had an opportunity to have the couple move away from the door before ordering them to the ground.

The CO gave awful commands. The had him crawl towards them like a dog adding an extra arm movement that wasn't needed. There were 6 officers with guns drawn on the man. The shooting officer had the worse view of the mans hand. He could not make an accurate assessment of the danger.

The OP is the worst type of post. It’s disgusting

This is why I don’t ask for my taxes to be lowered, period. If my taxes need to be higher so the police department is properly staffed, please tax me more. I’m not saying tax me unnecessarily, but I’m very comfortable paying more than my fair share if it improves the competency of the police force.

Of all things I spend my money on, police firefighters & teachers are probably more important.

Pretty sure this is a troll post but it’s still very dangerous. Cops are targets especially after Obama encouraged violence against them and supported criminals. I am only familiar with video #5 but that man was already found innocent as his life was potentially in danger. The drunk idiot who was reportedly waving a B.B. gun outside of a window couldn’t follow simple directions. The officer did what was necessary to go home to his family.

You probably shouldn't begin your post by announcing that intention.

No he didn't.

You're a retard.

The hallway one is just horrible.

After our range trip the other day I pulled that maneuver on my wife just to see how she'd do under stress. Well, close to that anyway. It did involve her being on her knees and doing a lousy job of following instructions. No shots fired.

 

[Limit Smasher]

So I'm seeing some conflicting stories on the Shaver video. Was the cop who was talking also the one who fired the shots?

I'm seeing that the guy talking was the police sergeant Charles Langley and the one who fired the shots was Philip Brailsford.

Its an outrage to think that the killer was the one barking the outrageous instructions. Absolute fucking outrage. But it sounds like the shooter was next to the guy talking and just reacted poorly. If that's the case, then I can somewhat see why he was acquitted.

Because it's absolutely incomprehensible to imagine an acquittal if the shooter was also the asshole talking.

Yeah, that's correct. At minimum I still want the guy giving directions charged with manslaughter.

What I've never been able to find out, is how much field experience the shooter had. If that was some rookie cop, ok, my issue is mostly with the guy giving commands. However, if the shooter had some kind of field experience, I think he shot on purpose.

If you want to have a real discussion on the issue, start by not using the free thought project as your source material. Tftp is copblock’s ugly sister.

Every one of those videos are disgusting. The videos of the drunks getting slammed are likely examples of using too much force(as in physical force) on someone with impaired balance. They give some resistance, the force is applied, and when they go, they go hard. I don’t believe that the end result was what was intended, but it does not excuse the incident. We have all done things either in play, or messing around that turn out wrong. When wrestling with my kids, sometimes you accidentally use too much force and someone gets a boo boo. It’s like that with drunks sometimes, but the consequences and stakes are much higher.

At this point in my career, I am sick of rotating shifts, working holidays, working in shitty weather, and working in a profession that sees so much horrible shit and on top of that, people hate or live you just because you wear a uniform. I am not sure that i will stick out the remaining four years of my career. I love the guys I work with a supervise, but I feel like a stranger in the police barracks anymore, so it is probably time to start looking for another job, which sucks because I have 4 people that outrank me, and people will say I am crazy to walk away with four years left and leaving as a lieutenant, but I am so sick of midnights and afternoon shifts. I am jealous of people with a 9-5 job and a “normal” existence.

Just imagine how many cops are going to quit after what has happened over the last few weeks. We need more accountability, but the vast majority of police are good folks who aren't going to want to get murdered or hated over some bullshit.

 

[Xuh]

Lol good bump.

Although the videos are all gone from OP I was able to track them down and it seems the victims in all of these cases were whiteys.
Maybe the article was just racist though

BTW, police brutality is NOT racial.

Who are you directing this comment at, Mr. 2018 post? Some imaginary future critic?

 

[no fat chicks]

Police should be some of the best amongst us. Instead we get the some of the worst people having the power to murder innocents.
That hallway shooter is human garbage.
It also just lends credence to a lot of claims of police brutality in the past before everyone had a camera. I can only imagine how ruthless some of the same situations would have been.

I am glad I am no longer an officer during this shit. Those cops straight up killed that guy. They might not have meant to do it, but their indifference to his cries is why people are so pissed. With that said, the amount of nationwide and even other countries protesting over this guy is beyond ridiculous. This man once held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach and now everyone is crying over his death. But they give not one fuck over the thousands killed in senseless gun violence in the black community. It seems black lives only matter when it is a cop doing the killing.

 

[SalvadorCollie]

Imagine the death toll with no police.

 

[tonni]

Poor cops, I can't believe people are standing up to them.

I've been watching the First 48 for over a decade. Nobody NEEDS the police more than poor blacks. Black mom's call the police on their own children to solve their familial squabbles. It is insane.

Without cops black people suffer worse than anyone.
