Ghost Leviathan posted:Yeah, the police are literally an occupying army for all intents and purposes. That's how they see themselves, that's how they're trained, that's how they operate, and any attempt at oversight is seen as enemy action to be violently suppressed. The police in my area have at least one cop car in camouflage: It's supposed to be "to honor the troops" or some poo poo but yeah we all know the real reason.

The amazing thing is there was a whole bunch of commentary about "if the cops were white, would they have been fired and charged that quickly?" and they assured everyone, no, this is so egregious that this would've happened regardless of the cops' skin colour, and then... this happens. One might have reasonably thought they would not do this exact thing, simply because everyone said they would and it would be clever to "prove them wrong", but the racism runs so deep that of course they do it anyway.

"We" is not totally accurate. A small group of people want big changes to policing now. A larger group wants to pay lip service to police reform but thinks the only way to do that is to give them more money? And a really large group of people (chuds) think the cops aren't going far enough with their bloodlust.

Bilek called the 5th precinct police station to see if the man was dangerous, because she’d heard he was having mental health problems. Officer* Scot Kaiser answered the phone. After hearing her story, Kaiser launched into his own diatribe about the activist group, Bilek said, calling Black Lives Matter a terrorist group that “we will wipe off the face of the Earth.” “Excuse me?” Bilek replied. He repeated himself. She said she didn’t think that was appropriate and asked to speak to his supervisor. He laughed, she said, and refused to transfer her or take down her contact information. “And then with all due arrogance, he goes, ‘You know what? I’ve got the feeling you are going to file a complaint, and so let me spell my last name so you get it correctly and give you my badge number, so nothing’s wrong,’” Bilek said. She called back later, but Kaiser answered again and wouldn’t transfer the call, she said. " OgNar fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Mar 16, 2023 |

The child said the officer got out of his patrol car, asked the child if he was OK, offered him a Band-Aid, and then left after the child said he was all right."

Man I got my EMS training at a school that also did cops, and man these kids were the dumbest motherfuckers you could imagine, so I saw how their training worked, and man they were loving hungry to get their hands on weapons and armor. Remember one time I'm taking my lunch outside and they are running laps around the parking lot with a dog handler with the dog on a long leash, and I'm like, "uhm, is it okay for me to be here?" and teacher gives me a poo poo look and is like "yeah, okay, whatever." Saw one of the guys moving up in the course getting their fresh recruit uniform (they were like training uniforms or something, not cops yet) preening proud as gently caress to his family that came in to see him who were all "ohh, so handsome!" 6 month course I think, minimum high school graduation needed. Motheruckers got like one day of first aid which they promptly would have dumped from their brains. Fuckin' eh.

Carroll County is northeast of Louisville, about halfway between Louisville and Cincinnati. " "In November, the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council voted not to revoke Cosgrove's state peace officer certification. That meant he could apply for other law enforcement jobs in the state. Miller told WLKY Cosgrove was hired as a deputy Thursday and that he was already on active duty. When asked by the station about possible community reaction to the hiring, Miller said the department knows "there will be opinions on both sides of the equation.""

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-25/property-crime-rates-reduce-gold-coast-queensland/102263798 This is not strong enough as it doesn't abolish the police but it is an interesting article on effective policing. And who woulda thunk it that policing goes beyond turning up with M16s and an attitude of superiority/being under siege? For the record, police in QLD are also pretty much banned from high speed chases altogether and have been for a decade or more. They don't happen with any regularity because high speed chases are useless except maybe twice a year for the entire state. QLD had a single fatality from a high speed chase (the cop stopped the chase within a few hundred meters, the runaway crashed a few km later) in the same time the state of Victoria was ratcheting up a few deaths (offenders, police and bystanders) every year.

Dredging up the thread for some good ole down home Texas Police corruption. Coffee City Texas, population 249 with 50 cops employed. Seems the Chief routinely hires other cops that are on leave elsewhere for being under investigation for child abuse, spousal abuse, public drunkeness, DUIs, lying on their paperwork, and a slew of other offenses. Then the Chief has them work very part time, just enough to be considered cops. Which allows them to work security jobs AND he has them working as bounty hunters for people with outstanding fines, they make $150 a pop. The Chief himself had an outstanding DUI offense that he had never showed up for and never reported on the job application as Chief. And he himself works in Houston as a security guard at an apt complex and had been recorded cussing out the local constable for not arresting someone he was having trouble with at that apt complex. I'm fully expecting the reporter doing the story to wind up missing. First video is the first 3 parts of the report and the second is the Chief getting suspended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vkD-efoFos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO0ju-_66Uo OgNar fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Sep 6, 2023 |

The downside here is that it isn’t a bug, it is a feature. Law enforcement being municipal and the way legislation and authority works, there’s really no recourse here. The town may do that. Your recourse is voting the mayour or council out (lmao). This is why somewhat similar rackets are basically gone from most of Europe. Law enforcement isn’t a municipal issue anymore that the town can do with as they please.
