Since they are a powerful fiefdom that is not going to happen. Salary, benefits and pensions. They have taken a bit of a beating. But it has been scattered in certain areas and others may have some deserving retribution. People on this forum are right that many cops do not deserve what is being done today also. There are men who like the action, but it can take a toll on them over the years in busier areas.If the cops don't like their reputation being sullied by bad cops, they should police their own instead of supporting the bad cops. We shouldn't have to wait until we have video of a cop murdering a citizen before he is stopped. His coworkers know which ones are most likely to do that sort of thing long before grieving family members have to watch a video of their loved one's death.IM2
What a crock of hyperbole... we should ALL support 'defrocking' cops who get too far out of line and intentionally harm people...Yes, and the vast majority of little girls weren't raped yesterday, so no need being concerned about that either.For every person murdered while complying there are scores of thousands who are properly processed while complying. So bite me, doughboy.People are getting nurdered while complying. So shut your ass.Tell me more about your Constitutional rights when you violently resist a Police Officer and are staring down the barrel of his Glock on a dark road.Well kondor the first problem here is that Curtis Sliwa will never be mayor of NYC. As for your 6 rules, we have this document called the constitution that gives us rights. One right is the freedom not be face unreasonable searches and seizures. Police do not have the right to make unlawful demands and we do not have to comply with them.Don't want to end-up with your a$$ in a sling, or with a toe-tag?And this is the problem, far too many idiots with this type of thinking.First all police encounters, especially arrests , cannot and should not be pleasant experiences always or even mostly.So how do you explain all the videos of that happening? Imagine how many times it's happened without video.When and where does that happen?Here's an idea. Don't use your badge and gun to indiscriminately beat and kill innocent people, and your insurance rates will go way down.
7 deaths in 50,000 violent encounters is zip
This is another liberal bullshit statistically vapid hoax
A traffic violation is a minor offense for which the punishment is a fine, not even jail time. So treating people as if they're public enemy number one for a an infraction because the cop is having a bad day or is just an violent, racist asshole is a law enforcement problem.
Don't expect the public to fix their problems, and when you all react the same old way, expect to find yourselves being dealt with in new ways.
When you're stopped by police...
1. keep your hands visible at all times
2. obey all police commands
3. shut the phukk up until you're asked to speak
4. be respectful when asked a question
5. don't make excuses - save it for the judge
6. don't run or resist
Whether it's a parking ticket, or a traffic stop, or a car accident, or a suspect-stop, or whether caught-in-the-act red-handed... whatever...
Obey the Six Rules above and you greatly improve your chances of surviving the encounter.,..
Police have been acting unconstitutionally for quite some time and they try defending themselves with the claim of qualified immunity. Well guess what, there is not a statute in this country that gives police qualified immunity. So they have been killing and beating people in violation of the law. So you take your six rules and shove them deep in your intestines, because they are invalid.
Our law enforcement people NEED broad and sweeping powers in order to do they're job and we have given them such power over us to keep the peace.
The benefit to society gained by a continued granting of 'qualified immunity' vastly outweighs the rare and occasional abuse of any such legal shielding.
My six rules were NOT meant to serve as an outline of suspect-side Constitutional rights.
My six rules WERE mean to serve as a common-sense outline of how to keep damned-near any stop-or-arrest situation from ending in harm to the suspect.
That collection serves as GREAT advice that will work darned-near every time.
There's plenty of time to argue Constitutionality and motives and procedural correctness in front of the judge.
At the point-of-arrest is NOT the place to do it.
Fail to observe such rules at your own very great peril.
Choose not to... and choose to violently resist... and you may very well end-up with a toe-tag in the morgue... Nature tends to de-select the less intelligent.
But for every Bad Cop who gets out of line (and gets publicity) there are hundreds upon hundreds of far more righteous ones...
At present, the Left is using Bad Cops as a stereotypical norm to paint police departments nationwide as racist and heavy-handed and wrong-headed...
And all that is one big steaming pile of hor$e$hit... the Left needs to be called-out on that and they need to be resisted in that context... strenuously.
