Police Pushback: Police Refuse To Provide Security At Dolphins Game As Players Take a Knee

[SavannahMann]

Police pushed back against Miami Dolphins protests – here’s what they did

"Police officers in the Miami area showed their disdain for the protests some Miami Dolphins players engaged in by refusing to provide security for their game Sunday against the New York Jets."





"According to the Miami Herald, one third fewer of the normally scheduled police officers volunteered for the security detail at the Hard Rock Stadium.

Usually 400 off-duty officers show up to help keep order at the games, but only 175 had volunteered as of Thursday before the game, and more would have to be forced into working. Only 270 would be expected at the game.


“This whole movement started against police officers,” said Dade County Police Benevolent Association President John Rivera. “And now it’s morphed into disrespecting the flag and the country.”

meh.... the blaze?

so glad you're proud that they don't defend the first amendment.

send hugs to Vlad, boichick

Retard alert, the COPS have 1st amendment rights too dumb ass.

Yes they do. However the first amendment does not give them the right to refuse to do their duty.

their duty?

Yes duty. http://dos.myflorida.com/media/693640/dsde56.pdf

They swear an oath to support and defend the constitution. To faithfully execute the duties of the office.

But, if you want to bounce a bottle off one of their heads, you just go right ahead and do it.


Good way to get arrested.

They were volunteering until officers decided not to volunteer, now the Miami police department is mandating that the police cover the game. So now they their obligation has changed. Had the players not kneeled the officers would have continued to volunteer. At least the people realize the position of the Miami police officers now. They are now on record as disagreeing with the NFL players. Nice to know they can peacefully demonstrate just as players can and the rest of America.

You bounce a beer bottle off anyone’s head during a game and you can expect to get arrested, whether it involves a police officer or not.

[RetiredGySgt]

I for one am happy to see this. It is a physical proof of several contentions of the protestors.

First, the propaganda that police are dedicated servants who seek to serve the community. Obviously nonsense. If you don’t bow down and worship them, they won’t lift a finger to protect the public.

Second. The idea that police seek only to obey and enforce the law. Again, nonsense. The truth as demonstrated by the Miami police on so many occasions is that they are little more than thugs in uniform hiding behind the badge. Like all spoiled children, if you don’t play by their rules, they will take their ball and bat and go home.

I think that we can all agree that the propaganda that the police are there to “protect and serve” can once and for all be laid to rest.

I mean, we’ve all known for years that the police really don’t do a damn thing to protect and serve anything but themselves. Thankfully, the Miami police now feel arrogant enough to stop pretending.

I think that's extreme. I see your point, but I wouldn't paint all police officers with the same brush.

that said, they did it to Springsteen at Shea Stadium when they didn't like a (great) song that he chose to perform.

There is a principle of teamwork. It is that everyone participates, and everyone keeps the faith. You don’t abandon a team mate. You don’t betray them. You stay loyal to the team. We call those who don’t do this traitors. It is one of the most vile epitaphs towards someone’s honor.

Look at Frank Serpico. Abandoned by other cops to be shot in the face. Rushed to the Hospital, because the cops who picked him up, responding to the phone call from a citizen that a cop had been shot, did not realize it was Serpico on the floor. They were overheard saying if they had known it was Serpico, they would have left him there to die. The other cops who were his partners did not call it in.

More recently, a cop was recording the conversations he was having about police conspiring to violate civil rights of the citizenry. When they learned of the recordings, the department arrested him and sent him to the psychiatric hold unit of the Hospital. Where he could be held incommunicado almost indefinitely. No one came forward to say this was wrong. No one came forward and said that he was telling the truth, that the recordings were honest.

It’s not all of them is another popular fiction. Granted the two examples I used were the NYPD, but let’s look at Miami. They keep “investigating” complaints about the officers and find no evidence. Then a video surfaces to support the claim. Then when the acts can no longer be denied, they make a statement about how upset, and shocked they are that this happened. They always tell us that the rest of the officers are so ashamed that their reputations were besmirched by the actions of one man. But one thing is always in common. The cops misbehaving, are never alone. There are other cops around, and their stories ALWAYS back up the claim of the one caught.

Why are they NEVER prosecuted for Perjury. They wrote the reports, and signed attesting the reports were true and correct. When they were neither true, nor correct.

We want to believe that the cops are good. We want to believe that they are great people who would never do something wrong. When they are caught, we are told that the long career was ruined by a single mistake. Really? Cops are caught the very first time the break the rules? Is that what I am expected to believe?

We see the truth before us, and we don’t want to believe it. We see the truth before us, and we want to believe in Santa Claus. We are approaching that season. Look at the Santa at the Mall. Look at the teenagers who no longer believe. Watch them. You’ll see something in their eyes, on their face. The same thing on the faces of many adults. They wished they still could believe in Santa. They long for the days when they could believe. Some more than others. In a way, we are like those children anxiously waiting in line to sit on the mans lap. We are happily ignorant of what the others already know. We believe in Santa in a manner of speaking.

If I keep a secret about a neighbor, a friend, and allow him to get away with a crime with my silence. I am not a good guy. If I tell a lie to protect that neighbor, I am not a good guy. If I know he did it, and say nothing. I can’t be a good guy no matter what else I do.

The movie Deadpool told a very important truth that we missed. Four or five moments. Most cops will have at least those four or five moments when they have the option of telling the truth, and they choose not to. They stay loyal to the team. They stay loyal to their fellow officers. They write the reports to make sure that the team is protected. They know if they are caught, they won’t be punished. They never are for telling a lie. If Bob is busted for beating an unresisting suspect, or shooting a man with his hands up, then nobody but Bob will face any penalty.

There is no Santa Claus. There are very few good honest cops at the most. I believe it is less than ten percent. I also believe that number may be optimistic.

Again for the ohh so slow and STUPID the cops are NOT acting as cops when they preform security at FL games they are OFF DUTY and being paid as PRIVATE citizens. They are NOT on duty their duty does NOT require them to protect the NFL, they act as private citizens doing so.

So refusing to obey an order from a cop at a sporting event is perfectly legal? If you bash one over the noggin with a beer bottle is it simple assault or assaulting a police officer?

Again for the SLOW and STUPID, cops are volunteers at NFL games They are paid BY the NFL not the police department they work for.

 

[JQPublic1]

Then shouldn't they be treated the same way you want the NFL players to be treated?

The police did not disrespect the flag.

They were OFF-DUTY police officers who decided NOT to donate their spare time protecting a bunch of millionaires who protect those among their ranks who beat up women but who disrespect police officers doing their duty and disrespect the flag ...

...unlike the millionaires disrespecting the national anthem while ON DUTY at their work place.

The cops who work off duty are
moonlighting. They aren't donating a damn thing. That's overtime pay and free entrance to a game. I'm sure some security firm would provide security at a fraction of the price.
A better solution would be for the cops to
join the protestors to show they are not like the few killer cops in their ranks. That gesture would go a long way towards bridging the rifts between the cops and the black community.

Really? First, you’re insinuating that the NFL needs protection. The NFL is not hiring anyone at that stadium. Any employees of the NFL fly in to participate. Referees are licensed by the NFL, game officials are there but aren’t normally locals hired to work that weekend.

The Stadium owners and managers hire the police to provide security. This is not done to protect the NFL moron. It is done to protect the people in the stadium. From minor crimes committed in any crowd like pick pockets plying their trade to acts of terrorism.

They are there to prevent any minor disturbance in the crowd from turning into a full blown riot. You know, a couple groups of die hard fans who like you have more attitude than intelligence get fighting, and it explodes outwards from a drunken brawl to a riotous disaster.

They aren’t there to protect the NFL. The NFL Business center is in New York NY. That for the geographically challenged is quite a ways from Miami. Since I doubt you have ever examined a marvelous thing called an Atlas, you can look it up on Google Maps. Or perhaps one more suited for your intellect.

Miami is located in the lower right corner below the Space Shuttle picture. New York is way up there on the upper right near that statue of a lady that some French Folks abandoned in the middle of the harbor.

Now, municipalities like Miami require that organizations provide adequate security to minimize things like those crimes and riots I mentioned above. This prevents events from getting out of control before Police can arrive, and strip their presence from other areas to try and handle the insanity. You may have heard about how awful it was that the conservatives had to pay a lot of money to get police protection at various Universities. It’s that same sort of thing.

I’m sure you have already forgotten what I wrote above, so I’ll stop now. Since you will probably be fascinated by the picture, I’ll let you go to it. I tried not to include any shiny things that would otherwise distract you.
