FizFashizzle posted:what the gently caress is wrong with this country quote:Brailsford told jurors that he was terrified for the safety of officers and a woman who in the hallway. He also said he felt "incredibly sad" for Shaver. Imagine for a second this total fiction was true and he deserved to be acquitted. We have somehow managed to hire one of the most cowardly people in the world as a police officer.

My favorite police shooting is still the mental health aide who was trying to explain to the officer that his patient was developmentally delayed and couldn’t understand the cop’s instructions, and that he was holding a toy train and not a gun. After very calmly and clearly following the directive to get on the ground with his hands out, the officer shoots the aide, who thankfully wasn’t killed and yells “why did you do that?”, and the officer yells back in a baffled voice “I don’t know!”

He missed on all three, one time hitting the CNA. lol

I don't even know how you fix these fundamental issues with law enforcement. Everyone wants police to wear body cameras, and yeah, they're a good idea (though no one has managed to implement them in a satisfactory way so far), but even when there is footage of straight up murder the cops get off because the footage wasn't shown in court or a juror comes from a law enforcement family or a juror thinks, "If you didn't want to be shot maybe you shouldn't have been speeding and you wouldn't have been pulled over to begin with!!!"

My uncle was under sheriff, and his father was sheriff, of a huge county in Florida - over 1.3 million residents - and he told me years ago that policing was becoming more militarized in training and tactics, and he worried it would create a division. Welp R.I.P. Uncle pat Bc you called it

Believe it or not the last point is what you really fight when you’re in a criminal defense situation. People will hate your client to death based on one of many variables and the prosecution will absolutely make the cop out to be this beautiful family man. It’s disgusting. I shouldn’t have watched that video. I always get so angry at seeing someone get gunned down in those situations.

Make a deal with the cops. If you really think you're innocent you can go to trial, but if you're found not guilty you forfeit the right to protection from a vigilante mob. However if you plead guilty we (the state) will keep you from being dragged out into the street and beaten to death with hammers.

I suspect there might be some civil rights issues here in the opposite direction we're used to them going, but I'm ok with giving it a test run on the guy from the latest video.

Amy Pole Her posted:I remember this video - that video enraged me. The police militarization post 9/11 is incredibly hosed, but this has been going on for forever, just look at the history of the LAPD, Chicago, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia or St. Louis police departments for starters. People are just now getting video of what activists have been screaming about for the last century. Policing of minorities has always been incredibly hosed, and there's no realistic way to fix it. You'd have to de-militarize, disarm, break the ability of forces to hire scum, and fix the systemic racial segregation that allows police to have a white face and black face. I mean, in a more perfect world, we'd disarm the police, have them wearing robin's blue uniforms and have them walking their neighborhoods like it's the Andy Griffith show, but there's no real political will to do it, and the groups asking for even the most basic reforms like BLM are demonized to an incredible degree. The government isn't even capable of counting police murders: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/11/police-killings-counted-harvard-study The only thing you can realistically do is never the trust the word of a cop on a jury.

What would you guys say are your best strengths as a person - I'm really good at listening. I can sit and listen to someone talk for hours without wanting to interject, or losing focus. - If I drop something, I always catch it. I have an amazing ability to catch something before it hits the ground. If you knock a coffee mug off your desk and I'm standing next to it, I will always catch it. Keys, phone, soap in the shower, lighters...they never hit the floor if I am nearby

One critical step to police reform will be internalizing and accepting - for everyone and especially for police departments and officers themselves - the basic concept that police officers are expected and duty-bound to put themselves in immediate, mortal danger in order to protect the lives of suspects. Not just whoever they immediately identify as innocent bystanders, but the actual suspects themselves. That's just way too far for most people and definitely for most cops. They're trained to shoot whenever they "feel" like they're in danger, and that's too lax of a standard. A police officer should be thinking "I may get shot here but until someone's actively shooting at me I can't be sure: I'll use nonlethal force." Not "that person might have a gun: I'll use lethal force."
