What he made looks similar to a home made bomb though and it's disingenuous the way people are playing it off like it doesn't.

If you actually look at the details like the printing on the circuit boards, the orientation of the 9v battery terminal, and the relative scale of the parts, those are plainly not the same clock. Several arrows point between plainly dissimilar objects.

Are you agreeing with that image?

I don't find it very surprising that the components to make a clock are similar across different clocks.

The point wasn't that it's the same clock as the lower half of the photo it's that he didn't build anything, he just gutted a digital clock and tossed it into a suitcase.

I'm not saying Ahmed is an idiot or saying he constructed a bomb, the point I'm trying to make is that I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. It's obvious (at least to me) that he did "build" a crude clock but stylized as a briefcase bomb.

That sort of thing reminds me of this every time.



Love that one cop so excited to beat up an unconscious man he slips on the way in.

I was disappointed by your failure during your Loudermillhearing to take any responsibility, or show any understanding that your conduct at issue here was inappropriate. In particular, when I asked you what if anything you would do differently in retrospect, you stated that you would do nothing differently. Your inability to understand that the confrontational manner in which you handled a non-threatening situation undermines public confidence in the fairness of this Department and leaves me convinced that a similar interaction with a member of the public will occur again should I permit you to continue working as a police officer. This is reinforced by the fact that you have twice been previously disciplined and counseled for unprofessional conduct, and seem to have learned little from those corrective actions.

I was also troubled by your comments in the Loudermill about the race of a judge and deputy chief involved in expunging the civilian's criminal record related to your arrest of him; you expressed a strong belief that these actions were taken because the judge and deputy chief are black, and that race drove the decision-making of a high ranking Department official and a long-serving Municipal Court Judge, not the legitimate factual and legal analysis by thoughtful and dedicated public servants. Such statements further indicate that your biased views prevent you from being able to honestly reflect on your own job performance and successfully receive constructive criticism of your policing techniques because you view the critiques as racially motivated.

While the violation of Section 5.140(2) is serious enough that, on its own, the allegation would warrant the recommended discipline, I gave serious consideration to a lengthy suspension and disciplinary transfer to a unit that does not interact with the public, as well as removal from the sergeant's promotional registry. However, your inability to understand, even in hindsight, that your behavior was unnecessarily aggressive, an abuse of discretion, and negatively impacted the community's confidence in this police service, offers me no pathway to confidence that your behavior will improve or change. Without this ability to learn from your mistakes, understand how you can improve and do better, and recognize your own errors, you are unable to effectively function as an officer.

ln analyzing your culpability for a potential violation of Department Policy 6.220(l),I have also given careful consideration to the Constitutional principles underlying that policy. I believe that reasonable minds could find, in the totality of the circumstances, that the stop was lawful. I therefore conclude that this charge is "inconclusive" rather than "sustained." In doing so, however, I rely on the fact that determination of lawful authority to stop is an objective standard, not a subjective standard. The fact that I conclude that we should not sustain a violation of the stops and detention policy does not mean that I support your use of your authority in this circumstance. This incident likely could have been resolved without a seizure of any level.

For the reasons summarized above, and while giving careful consideration to your full employment history as well as the facts of this case, your employment is terminated.

It's nice to see some police officers face consequences for their actions. In the real world people get arrested for committing assault, but when you're in a uniform rules and laws often don't seem to apply.
All cops aren't bastard but a large amount of them blindly and willingly protect their bastards regardless.

IIRC the man that's unconscious previously ran over a state trooper in a hit and run thereby starting the chase. I guess that's justifiable if they were just angry citizens. Being cops it just makes them look like thugs.

Cops in the south can get fired because their union is not very strong due to all the "right to work" laws their states have enacted. I don't want to know what it would take to fire a NYC cop.

lol if you think its easy to fire cops in the south.

hint: just because their union isn't as powerful doesn't mean the cops don't still control hiring and firing!

Fired five times and arrested three, he was charged with stealing a car, trying to board an airplane with a loaded gun and driving with a suspended license.

Internal Affairs investigations found that Bosque split a man's lip with a head butt. He opened another man's head with a leg sweep and takedown. He spit in the face of a drunken, stumbling arrestee. One time, he smacked a juvenile so hard the boy's face was red and swollen the next day.

Bosque has been caught defying direct orders, lying to supervisors and falsifying police reports. Off duty, he was accused by women of domestic violence and stalking. During inspections, the agency found a counterfeit $20 bill, cocaine and crack pipes in his patrol car.

Still, Bosque has kept his badge.

In Florida, the process of investigating and disciplining police officers and prison guards is flawed at every level, allowing troubled lawmen to return to work after repeated acts of misconduct, a Herald-Tribune investigation has found.

quote:

During an August interview in Opa-Locka, Bosque lit up with excitement when he heard that he led the state in discipline cases.

"I can't believe that," he said. "I'm not trying to smile. I just ... drat!"

A high-level staff member with the FDLE's Bureau of Officer Standards had a different reaction. He first said it wasn't possible for an officer to get in trouble that many times and still be certified.

Then he pulled Bosque's records.

His response: "Holy s--t."
