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.
People walking around illegally blind is a scourge thoughThey 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 a on humble for talking back. Tax payer money to be wasted on a settlement because of fragile egos.
I don’t know exactly what the length of punishment is for second degree murder in the US. I guess more than 12 years at least.What does that mean in terms of a sentence?
What do you guys think? Valid reason to arrest or no? I didn't really see anything wrong with what he did.
Indeed. Found: third party video of the cop,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
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.
A police officerHoly crap. Who does that to their own child?

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.
A police officer
Here is where you really see the true colors of police officers. The guy is outsmarting her, she knew she fucked up, but because she and the other guy are such power hungry pieces of shit they just can’t let it go. Despicable
So, I take it you've never heard the expression, "go along to get along"?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.
Aside from your own personal and professional experience, do you have anything independent with which to back your claim, like relevant empirical data?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.
