That's the craziest part. Possession of under 42.5 grams in minnesota has been decriminalized for decades. It is literally NOT a crime, just a civil infraction (and they really only ever give you a ticket if you're black, imagine that.)

it just seems like a crime of hateful passion to only shoot someone 7 times. standard procedure for methodical police protection of themselves should require them to shoot the potential threat in the face and chest reloading until they are out of bullets
how many bullets is just a vague line in the sand with no definite right or wrong unless you stick adamantly to a rule like that and that raises questions

Shoot the potential *threats* until they are out of bullets. The four-year-old was squirming non-compliantly in her carseat and disobeying direct orders, so he saved half the clip. We should be praising this hero for the self-sacrifice and judgment he displayed in hesitating to light her up until backup came and deescalated the situation.

you idiot i just explained that you should unload all of your ammo because that would demonstrate that you are merely acting as a police officer following your instructions. unloading half a clip might indicate a biased crime of passion against that 4 year old. better to shoot the childs face into pulp
when the people understand that you are merely a police officer following the law as best you can without bias they will rally behind you

Our marines are held to higher standard when interacting with foreign civilians whose country they are invading/occupying/helping than our own police officers are when interacting with our own people. I mean that's just what they say of course but still.

Multiple people in the armed services have said that to me completely independently of one another.

The military does actually care what the public thinks about them, and isn't afraid to hold its officers accountable. The average soldier or Marine probably isn't concerned about the treatment of civilians so much, but when you put college educated and well paid officers into positions of management and show them that they'll lose everything they worked for when someone fucks up, things tend to run a bit better. This just doesn't happen in PD's.

Not sure but this is my anicdote.
I used work for a management company that ran a series of 8 plex apartment units. We would do our best not to house black families with Latino families.in the past when they did the two groups would very rarely get along and would constantly be complaining to us about eachother and even phisically fighting with eachother. Housing them in seperate buildings is racist but everyone was better off as everyone chilled the gently caress out.

lol if you didn't know that immigrants are actually just as if not more racist than your average born-and-bred American. Never mind all the sectarian bullshit or cultural homogeny they're used to that hasn't had time to be filed away by experience: America has a long history of every successive generation of immigrants getting ratfucked by the people who came before them, and being forced to gently caress over each other to get a crumb of that sweet sweet American Pie. That environment selects for a very "gently caress yours got mine" attitude, hth

Off duty officer comes to help with stolen car crash outside his house. Ordered to the ground, per usual, but was recognized and told to stand up. He was then shot by another officer who saw a dude getting off the ground so knew he needed to get shot.

quote:

http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/...096f99d114.html

An off-duty officer was wounded by "friendly fire" as police looked for suspects after a stolen vehicle fled police and crashed late Wednesday.

The injured off-duty officer was treated at a hospital released on Thursday. The suspect was also treated, and released into police custody.

At Barnes-Jewish Hospital early Thursday, Interim Police Chief Lawrence OToole told reporters the off-duty officer had come out of his home to help after the stolen car crashed nearby, and was hit in the crossfire between officers and suspects who had been in the car.

According to a department summary of the incident released later Thursday, two officers who encountered the armed off-duty officer ordered him to the ground. He complied. When they recognized the off-duty officer, they told him he could stand up and walk toward them.

Another officer just arriving at the scene saw the off-duty officer get up and, not knowing he was an officer, fired his weapon once at the man. He hit the off-duty officer in the arm, the department said.
