Just read they fired this guy. Lord knows how much of this shit happens that's not videoed and released, and before all this mobile video recording started going mainstream. So much injustice by shitty cops. There will always be some bad cops but we have a system where there are way way way too many shitty and bad cops, and a brotherhood that protects shitty cops, a training system that doesn't train them, too little accountability, and poor leadership, and poor requirements to be a cop.

It doesn't matter what the differences are between the two groups. What matters is this: you can't make a case against an entire group based on anecdotal evidence. I'm afraid you missed the point entirely.

a better example would be: President Clinton lied under oath about having an affair with an intern, therefore all Democrats are liars and adulterers.

San Antonio cop fired after shooting teen in McDonald's parking lot | CNN

A San Antonio Police Department officer has been fired after shooting a 17-year-old boy who was eating a meal in a McDonald's parking lot Sunday, the department said.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

...was charged with evading detention in a vehicle and assaulting the officer, who had claimed he was struck by the door of the car as the teen backed up.

The teen’s defense attorney, Brian Powers, told CNN that the Bexar County district attorney’s office notified him Friday that prosecutors would not be moving forward with charges against his client. A spokesperson for the DA’s office referred CNN to the county’s online court record system, which indicates that both charges have been dismissed and the case closed.

He will probably be hired by another department in a nearby community within a couple of months.

Now the kid may have suffered injuries that he will have to live with for the rest of his life... see, fast food is bad for you.

A Court Just Ruled Collective Punishment Is Legal in America

A family faced eviction from their home because a family member who didn’t live with them committed a crime. This is the law of the land in some American towns.

Seems like a systemic failure of vetting. I'm only surprised that it seems the problem isn't limited to the Met (who I am used to turning out to be far worse than any other police service, other than maybe Greater Manchester)



Defective vetting and failures by police leaders have allowed a “prevalent” culture of potentially thousands of officers who are “predatory” towards women to join and stay in the ranks, a damning official report has concluded.

Officers staged unwarranted stops of women in an abuse of power known as “booty patrols”, with crimes such as sexual assault covered up and ignored along with large-scale harassment of female officers and members of the public.

The report published on Wednesday from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) for England and Wales was ordered after the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021 by a serving Metropolitan police officer, Wayne Couzens.

It details senior officers pursuing women for sex, the watching of pornography on duty and misogynistic comments about crime victims and the public.

The report lists a decade of warnings to police chiefs after past serious sexual assaults and abuses of power by serving officers, with the inspectorate finding that chiefs were “complacent” and failed to appreciate “the danger to the public”.

Officers were cleared to join after “committing offences such as robbery, indecent exposure, possession of controlled drugs, drink-driving and domestic abuse-related assaults”, the report found.

it's utterly amazing how much they are protected


~Even though federal records indicate that fatal shootings by police have been declining nationwide since 2015, The Washington Post’s Fatal Force database shows the opposite is true: Officers have shot and killed more people every year, reaching a record high in 2021 with 1,047 deaths. The FBI database contains only about one third of the 7,000 fatal police shootings during this time — down from half when The Post first started tracking.

Met Police officer revealed as one of Britain’s worst rapists

A serving Metropolitan Police officer can be revealed as one of Britain’s most prolific rapists after admitting more than 80 sex offences spanning almost 20 years.
uk.news.yahoo.com uk.news.yahoo.com

A serving Metropolitan Police officer can be revealed as one of Britain’s most prolific rapists after admitting more than 80 sex offences spanning almost 20 years.

David Carrick, 48, committed dozens of depraved attacks on at least 13 women, in Hertfordshire and London between 2003 and 2020, despite being employed as an armed officer responsible for protecting Parliament, government offices and other high-profile locations.

Starting to wonder how many criminals there are in this city who aren't members of the Metropolitan Police.

The Met could have stopped police rapist David Carrick – how can it have failed yet again? | Sue Fish

During Carrick’s 20 years of service, chances to investigate him were repeatedly missed. Instead, he was promoted, asks former chief constable Sue Fish
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com


So that's now the second rapist who's turned out to be a Metropolitan Police officer. And also the second one who was part of the "elite" who are allowed to carry firearms. Starting to look as if there's a pattern when it comes to who wants to carry a gun.

DA: 5 Memphis cops 'all responsible' for Tyre Nichols' death

Five fired Memphis police officers have been charged with murder and other crimes in the killing of Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist who died three days after a confrontation with the officers during a traffic stop.
apnews.com apnews.com

they will be releasing the video today at some point, it's going to be bad as they fired all 5 of them rather quickly

Each officer will face charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression

Woman, 95, Tasered by officer at Cooma aged care home, approached on walking frame with a knife, police say

Police said the officer’s duty status was under review, as civil liberties groups demanded an independent investigation into incident that left Clare Nowland in critical condition
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Australia this time.

95 year-old woman shuffles towards them using a walking frame, holding a knife. So of course they tase her. No other option, obviously. How could a cop possibly be expected to outrun a 95-year-old with a walking frame, or disarm her?

I suppose had it been the US they'd have shot her, mind.
