Imagine if this was our police... Our country would be so much better.
LOL This is why nobody takes police unions seriously.
They're standing by the notion that the drunk who had just been trespassed from a convenience store for harassing the staff was a credible accuser against McAlpin that justified those two cops coming in hot and nearly killing him.
They also laughably say that McAlpin failed to communicate that he was deaf or disabled like he was actually given a chance.
I'm assuming that McAlpin doesn't have any kind of criminal record because these clowns would've definitely leaked it already to back up those two idiots.
How is this America???? How could anyone allow this to happen???
This is a text book example of why I feel supporting the police blindly is 100% supporting a police state that is the total opposite of freedom & patriotism.
I dont give a fuck if it was drug money at this point. They should have to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt.
Freedom my ass. They just pulled over a veteran citizen and robbed him. Mind blowing.
Then on a side note this is the thanks he got for trusting them and letting them search his car for no reason.
Do not complain about crime or criminals crossing the border if you support LEA & disgusting thugs that do this.
Dude was driving under the speed limit than safely passes a truck. Cop makes up nonsense to pull him over. Proceeds to make him exit the vehicle. Searches his car when the victim says he had more than $10,000 on him. Then steals the man's life savings.
Is being completely incapable of reading the room a requirement for the job?
They ought to know that putting out statements like this actually hurts their ability to defend their members in the event that they are actually accused of something they didn’t do.
WTF is wrong with them? Genuinely asking, this is literally shooting themselves in the foot.
IMO It doesn't boil people's blood enough.I think this civil forfeiture bs is one thing that unilaterally boils everyone’s blood.
Personally, I’d like to see officers that engage in that disgusting process publicly caned, then imprisoned for 5 years.
Wouldn't expect anything less from a Cult GangCop unions are used to never being challenged so they always belligerently defend their members, even when they're clearly in the wrong.
The Phoenix PD union is making the anti-cop case better than any activist ever could.
Literally every government official in Maricopa county is backing away from this and getting ready to throw those two cops under the bus, but the union is still coming out with totally nonsensical press releases defending their behavior.
IMO It doesn't boil people's blood enough.
There is no way you should still support ANY organization that allows or practices this. But they do with all their hearts. Like a cult.
I'm shocked that this is a thing in 2024 America where over half the country has "don't tread on me flags" and uses "freedom" "merica" & the constitution as buzz words in every other sentence. Yet those same people virtue signal, justify, & ignore the real world actions that are totally the opposite of the dumb rhetoric & symbolism they pretend to care about.
Mind boggling to me.
But again these are the same people who aren't even moved to speak out when they see a human being executed/snuffed right in front of them for not licking boots when ordered.
MERICA!!! FCK YEAH...BALD EAGLES...FLAG ON EVERY SHIRT SLEEVE/BUMPERSTICKER... MOUNTAIN DEW....FIREWORKS.....TAKE MY $90,000 JUST DONT TAKE MY GUN THAT I WILL NEVER USE...HAVING MANNERS IS LEFTIST SOCIALISM...COMMIES
Wash rinse repeat.
Ha
Palm Beach police wasted time and resources ticketing everybody who went to a cars and coffee meet up for "spectating racing."
They literally watched then entire meet up happen and then waited to write tickets to everybody at the end, including people who just recorded the cars driving away.
I can understand watching to see if there was any actual racing or reckless driving, but this was just road pirate shit. Slapping a fine on citizens for going to a social event held in public.
Then after the fact, they abused the copyright complaint system on YouTube to try to ban the channels that posted the videos showing what their idea of "police work" is.
I got charged with street racing and arrested once.This was so egregiously stupid. Trying to literally criminalize seeing something

This guy brought up a good point. It was probably the rich people in the area who complained to the Sheriff about these meet ups, and the Sheriff told his deputies to issue tickets and make sure that they didn't come back.
What happened doesn't even come close to meeting the requirements of the offense that they cited people for because it was revised to be hyper-specific to street races after it was struck down as unconstitutional in the 00s.
In the end, it's going to hurt all of the taxpayers in the county because it seems like the people who got ticketed are all going link up and sue the department.
Because their motto is don't tread on ME (and people like me), and police have traditionally been used to target 'others'Yeah, I grew up in Texas around a lot of conservatives, and I've never understood how people who are generally very cynical about the government are totally deferential to local law enforcement and think that they should be above criticism.
It makes no sense whatsover.
