I'm so loving disgusted. I didn't act like that, and I'm a loving war criminal.

Three Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies resigned Friday in the wake of the fatal shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. in Elizabeth City, officials said. Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten confirmed to CBS17 that seven other deputies involved in Brown’s Wednesday death are on administrative leave.

Seven

seven

I think it's like four body cameras and a surveillance camera. Current court order is that family gets to see (not share) the footage in 10 days, likely publicly released in 30 days. The DA successfully argued (over sheriff objections) that it should stay sealed in case he wants to file charges. Can't quite tell if the DA is stalling because ACAB or because the footage is as bad as we all think. Local FBI office already started the civil rights investigation.

I had to help someone having a no-poo poo medical emergency the other night and when I called 911 I repeatedly stressed AMBULANCE and EMS, and asked bystanders not to flag down a passing cop car. I wasn’t about to involve the cops in a situation with someone with an altered mental status who was spitting up blood and likely undocumented.

I want to make sure I'm reading your tone correctly, because right now, I'm not in the mood for some smarmy bullshit from someone on the internet.

Just so we are clear, I'm a war criminal by definition, because I threatened Red Cross Employees to save a child's life. Every Law of Warfare that i violated was to save a loving life. Every person I loving hurt or worse forced my loving hand- and even then 99% of the assholes I dealt with went home the next loving day. I've gone hands on with men who were armed, and trying to kill me. I violated laws by snatching a pistol and knocking a man unconscious instead of killing him- something a loving kid shouldn't have to justify to leadership.

one time I got in a minor fender bender, rear ended someone

dude called the cops for whatever reason. Cop shows up, questions us, then writes me a ticket, and I get a point on my record and increased insurance rates for two years or whatever it was for an at-fault accident with about $500 of damage. Thanks, I guess.

I've seen like park rangers and Fish and Wildlife cops drive them but yeah, rarely a local pd. Actually Metro PD in DC has a bunch of trucks they use for traffic management.

Weirdest cop car I've ever seen has to be the Baltimore PD having a Geo Tracker decked out with lights and poo poo.

A lot of PDs switched to the Explorer / F-150 since the Crown Vic was retired by Ford.

It's usually an intersection between those vehicles having factory standard police packages, and a lot of places already having Ford certified mechanics in the local town vehicle shop. Also, they have the most room in the backseat as compared to other cars.

It's mostly just because cops want to look down on other people, and no one is going to tell them to stay on a budget. Same basic reason suburban dads buy pickup trucks or SUVs.

this just bums me out. 5-10 years ago when I was a perfect law-abiding citizen, I might have said this was ridiculous to not include them. Never mind the increasing distrust and realizing their real motives--the amount of times cops have killed those clearly suffering a mental health episode, and or their caretakers, is just bummer city

No man that wasn't sarcasm. Over and over again I'm seeing cops treat Americans way worse than the way we were trained to treat (and did treat) Iraqi POWs during the invasion. Not that I need to tell you or anyone else in GiP, but Jesus Christ -- when cops treat Americans worse than Marines treated enemy combatants, poo poo is immensely loving bad.

My bad, I came out a little hot.The older I get the more it loving hurts to see what this country is. :glomp:

We put literal children in countries where they don't speak the language, and every loving person has a gun, and they do a better job. Not saying they are perfect by any means, but god dammit, cops are supposed to be loving professional.

I'll be the first to say in my heart I'm not a good person, but my flaws don't need to breed more. I ain't never been mean for the sake of being mean. I endeavored to treat everyone as people first, no matter the situation unless you force me otherwise. As I know I'm fond of saying- the role of the Infantry isn't "locate, close with, and destroy"- it is the controlled and purposeful execution of violence to achieve a goal, and violence is a spectrum going from words on up. I always tried words first. I am upholding MY end of the social contract, and that means not being a raging dickhead, and taking hits. I got paid to get hurt so that someone else didn't- it's what's called loving service to humanity. I wasn't some perfect paragon of being a trooper. There were many, many times when I could have handled things better. (That dude I knocked out for trying to pull a cocked and locked TT33 clone on ne comes to mind, as does the Iraqi cop I busted up for starting what looked like a draw stroke during a confrontation with soldiers. Neither of them were ones I escalated first, but blows to the head, face, and neck region are bad for you)


I'm just old and bitter and angry because I haven't slept a full night since 14 Feb 03, and every god drat thing I did was so I could sleep with myself at the end of the day, and these cocksuckers are murdering their charges with impunity.

Elizabeth City is about an hour away from Windsor, VA from last month, both are exurbs of Norfolk.

I was unclear why the cops were showing up at Andrew Brown's home so I found this article (carolinapublicpress.org). They had a search warrant and two(?) arrest warrants.

quote:

In the application for the warrant, [Albemarle Drug Task Force investigator, D. Ryan] Meads stated that he received information from the Dare County Narcotics Task Force regarding the alleged sale of illegal drugs by Brown.

Meads wrote that a Dare County agent, R.D. Johnson, received information from a confidential informant who claimed to have purchased drugs from Brown on several occasions for more than a year. According to the application, Dare County agents recorded the confidential informant allegedly purchasing cocaine from Brown on March 17 and methamphetamine on March 29.

The application also stated that Meads met with a confidential source who claimed to have purchased crack cocaine from Brown.

The first alleged event led to a warrant for two counts: one count of possession with intent to sell or deliver a schedule II narcotic, 3 grams of cocaine; and one count of keeping and maintaining a vehicle for keeping and selling a controlled substance. The warrant listed the vehicle as a 2004 BMW 745LI.

The second arrest warrant showed two similar charges from an alleged incident on March 29: one count of possession with intent to sell or deliver a schedule I narcotic, 3 grams of methamphetamine; and one count of keeping and maintaining a vehicle for keeping and selling a controlled substance. The vehicle listed was a white Chrysler 300.
