Crime What did the cops do wrong today. Vol. 2

[avenue94]

Making police misconduct reports public is something some states do, and some other states don't or have restrictions. I think transparency can be beneficial in many ways but why exactly would you want to see which cops have an attendance problem or accidently discharged their firearm in the locker room? Should they also face social discipline as well as what the department hands down? The more egregious abuses of power tend to make the news quite often.

Why would the public want to know if their tax money is being wasted on a cop playing hooky. Better yet, why would the public want to know a cop is on top of basic firearm safety when said cop has the state's sanction to commit violence when necessary?

You would be surprised how long abuses can be covered up.

That's an exaggeration. There are routinely stories of cops getting in trouble for abusing their power. Even they pale in comparison to the overall positive effect police have on communities across America.

And yet there is a massive abundance of stories for cops being lightly punished or even rewarded for abuses of power.

Law enforcement steals more money/assets from the citizens they've sworn to protect and serve than the thieves, muggers and burglars they arrest. The video of this incident doesn't surprise me one bit.

 

[oldshadow]

What about any cops who potentially saw and didn't report or covered up the theft?

They should get department punishment.

Read my initial post again.

So you have nothing other then your opinion.

Here is domestic abuse by occupation.

1. Police officers

Not outright dismissal and end if a career? Hwo can the public trust police if they can't trust then to police thenselves?

Depends on circumstances.

Depends on circumstances.

How are the public supposed to trust police to testify in court when they can't even testify against their own? It's wild that you are effectively handwaving perjury in a profession that routinely demands we trust the word of police in matters of life and death and freedom.

If they are called to testify they have to tell the truth or it's a crime and they should be charged.

Otherwise it would depends the situation. If they are ask by internal affairs and lie they should be charged.

What should the punishment be?

I think crimes like this should be considered among the most heinous.

Again, you want the public to trust people to report and follow up on crimes despite them being unable to do so in instances like this? Are the standards for what we expect of law enforcement so low? And people wonder why some populations don't trust police or why policing suffers from systemic rot.

Put them in general population is my sarcastic remark usually.

One of the good things Obama did while he was president was make the push for bodycams post Ferguson.
I have no issue with police generally. Do they use manipulative tactics and distrust the average citizen. I think they do. Are they a vital part of crime deterrent, i believe they are. Like a lot of things in this country there is room for improvement. Lets be honest, them doing their jobs lawfully just isn’t going to make the news. It’s been pretty widely reported the departments have loosened their standard as they strive to hire enough officers. Glad they found one too stupid to turn off the bodycam.

Most cops are good and honest. There just human beings, there will always be questionable/bad cops in the crop of how many thousands of cops. Just like any workplace or just society in general. To say they're mostly bad is a misunderstanding.

The problem is there's a culture of cops covering for the bad-cops... if you actually try to be a "good cop" and turn the "bad" cops in, you'll be run out of the department.

So basically there are three types of cops:

1) Bad/Criminal, cops
2) Cops that cover up for the Bad/Criminal cops
3) Good cops that are hated by their fellow officers and never get promoted.

I would suggest that be their most lenient option, and I'm not being sarcastic at all.

Bullies and racists will gravitate towards the L.E. profession as they get to do what they like with far less reprecussions than if they were an average Joe. Just like how s will gravitate towards the clergy and professions that gives them influence/power over people, especially kids. Charlatans will gravitate towards Mega Churches , especially the Prosperity Doctrine.

This is not to say that most people in the above professions are bad; just saying that scumbags will gravitate towards opportunities that allows them to abuse and exploit people.

Lol. Buh bye and good luck finding meaningful employment in the future.

Firemen who set fires
Healthcare workers who knowingly harm people
Cops who break the law
Self serving politicians
Mechanics who break shit to create work
Industries that implement planned obsolescence

Professional betrayal of trust should carry a stiff penalty. Always nice to see when someone outs themselves like this.

Are you serious? You honestly believe in that? Where's your source?

Cop tossed him in prison a few times.

Sorry, but that’s not accurate…There are plenty of teams working together honestly and with integrity….do those three categories you created exist, definitely, but you inaccurately left out the good honest guys and girls who work together…

 

[Day Drinking]

Pretty typical cop behavior. Anyone who is above the law acts like that.
