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

How would the cops know if the guy was actually "legally" blind without stopping and investigating the situation? If he's doing stolen valor and he's actually "illegally" blind then an arrest is appropriate.


They stopped him because they thought the cane was a gun at distance. It obviously wasn't one up close.

You don't need to be legally blind to own a folding cane.

They brought him in on a humble for talking back. Tax payer money to be wasted on a settlement because of fragile egos.

People walking around illegally blind is a scourge though
 

how does every cop in the country by now, with all these 1st amendment auditors, that you can't just demand id? once he showed it wasn't a gun, that was it. they had no reason to get his id. but they goy butt hurt, made up charges of resisting arrest (he didn't), and now he will sue and hopefully they get fired. It just shows the arrogance of most police officers. Total god complex. You will kiss my ass or i will try to ruin you
 


What do you guys think? Valid reason to arrest or no? I didn't really see anything wrong with what he did.

No. If you're so fucking ignorant that you would hassle someone over that you should be in jail yourself just for being such a cunt. It's clearly a folding cane for sight-impaired people. Fuck that stupid bitch and kick her to the curb.
 
Absolutely an illegal detainment. That man was entirely correct that they did not possess reasonable articulable suspicion. His fourth amendment rights were violated snd they will lose this. Unless they had a call that he was committing some crime, they had no reason to detain him. If he was suspected of committing a crime, then everything that happened would have been proper with the id, but the arrest for obstructing l/resisting is also bad. He was flexing his rights and that should be applauded, not condemned. Good on him for knowing them and he likely just earned a settlement for some money. False arrest and violation of fourth amendment rights because someone dared to rightfully question their authority
Indeed. Found: third party video of the cop,

Chief of Albuquerque PD conveniently waits until election season is over to post internal stats that show the "massive crime wave" isn't real in his city.




Convenient. Wondering if these stats were readily available to begin with?

Fuck. Every single time I come into this thread I end up leaving pissed off.

Officers Fat Fuck and Snowflake should be terminated and forfeit their pensions.
 
LOL this is great. I remember playing a game on the first PlayStation called syphon filter. And one of your weapons was a taser, and if you tased someone long enough they would catch on fire.

Never thought I'd see it in real life.


I thought this must have happened a long time ago because they portrayed something very similar on CSI ages go but it was 2 weeks ago according to youtube. I can't find any video of it but the Jim Brass character says, "OK, light him up," about a fleeing suspect (or whomever) and the guy bursts into flames when hit with the taser. Fiction come to life. Poor guy.
 
One thing always left out from these statements of "good cops" covering for "bad cops": Bad cops don't do bad stuff in front of others all that often. The onus is on each and every officer to report wrongdoing but not to seek it out. There are specialized units dedicated to that.

So there's a fourth category: Guys just going about their day, not doing anything wrong and neither are the ones around them.
So, I take it you've never heard the expression, "go along to get along"?
 
It is. There are almost one million officers, well, a few years ago, it was 900k, now it is mid 700k, in the US in 18,000 departments.
Aside from your own personal and professional experience, do you have anything independent with which to back your claim, like relevant empirical data?
