Cops just adore 465, the highway that surrounds Indianapolis. Three or four lanes, heavy traffic, speed limit of 55. Actually going slow enough to be legal would constitute a major safety hazard, and I've seen them just slide right up behind somebody in the middle of a pack of cars and guide them through traffic to the shoulder on multiple occasions. It's a road where complying with the law would be unsafe, so the cops just farm tickets whenever they please.

agarjogger posted:Yeah this show is why I don’t go to a certain laundromat anymore. My Sundays can’t handle that poo poo. If you see somebody driving like that, call 911 and do what they tell you to. No matter how you feel about the cops, getting that person off the road should be a huge priority for you.

Trabisnikof posted:True, but its also not workable for taxpayers to foot the entire bill, especially for requests such as the afore mentioned "every day I will request every single police document or recording created". And to use that as an excuse to not create records/documentation is absurd. Is there a police department somewhere that's just swamped and unable to do their jobs due to constant FOIA requests or something?

Did you know that it's illegal to post profanities and call cops racist on their Facebook page? I sure didn't, and the Wisconsin appellate court is similarly confused!

Sundayturks posted:According to my old man at least, protests he attended in London back in the 60s/70s were infiltrated by police who were readily identifiable by the police-issue boots they hadn't bothered to change. Who remembers this pic from the Montebello protests of 2007?  Couple of dudes nobody seems to know walking around trying to persuade people to riot. The unioni members and activists told them to gently caress off, and as soon as they were accused of being cops, they "rushed" the police line and were gently "arrested". When this picture got out, the cops tried to pretend that they were just keeping an eye out for violent protestors.

Officer Greg Kwiatkowski repeatedly assaulted a man after he'd been handcuffed. Officer Cariol Horne pulled him off the guy, and then he punched her in the face so hard that she required dental work. The result? She was fired, and he suffered no consequences until he assaulted another officer at a police station some time later.

ActusRhesus posted:Counterpoint: Eric Garner is now a nationally recognized name. Contrast with "two dead cops". Without googling, what are their names? I don't know. Eric Garner is nationally recognized name because cops murdered him and the system openly refused to hold them accountable. The killer of those two cops was hunted down and is dead. There's a huge difference.

The mere fact of a police officer being killed on the job, while sad, doesn't necessarily mean it was somebody specifically targeting cops like that dick in New York. Let's keep an eye on this as it develops and see where it goes instead of making assumptions. Pope Guilty fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Dec 21, 2014 |

The NYPD's temper tantrum is a good time to remember that New York City has paid out $428 Million on police and correctional misconduct lawsuits in the last five years alone.

Oh jeez, this sucks. WARNING AUTOPLAYING VIDEO: Fatal crash victim was John Crawford's girlfriend quote:DAYTON, Ohio (WKRC/WKEF) -- Two people died after a fatal car crash on New Year's Day. One of the victims was Tasha Thomas, the girlfriend of John Crawford III, who was fatally shot by police at a Beavercreek Walmart. Police believe excessive speed was the cause. The crash happened on North Broadway Street between Holt Street and Edgewood Avenue just after 3 p.m. Witnesses told Dayton Police that the driver was headed south at an excessive rate of speed, between 90 and 100 miles per hour. The driver then crashed into an RTA pole, which caused the driver's side of the car to be sheered off, and the car to flip several times. Thomas and the driver, Frederick Bailey of Dayton, were then ejected from the car. "When I came over the one lady was still breathing," said Lewis, "I tried to use a towel to cover her up but the police got here and the ambulance was already here." "This is a very delicate scene, very troubling scene with being the holiday and two people passed away on the holiday at a careless act of excessive speed," said Sgt. Coleman. Police were not able to determine if both victims were wearing seat belts because of the state of the wreckage. Thomas had been interrogated by police following Crawford's death. She had been at the Walmart with Crawford, who was from Fairfield.

captainblastum posted:Police are vital to any modern society, and our current police institutions are probably the best, fairest, most transparent versions that have ever existed in this nation. That is in no way contradictory to stating that the police as an institution absolutely need reform to address the racism, sexism, cronyism, and a whole host of other issues that are still undeniably part of the system. Yeah, the reality of historical policing means that American police have a very, very low bar to clear to be the best they've ever been.

So if the problem is a combination of a small population of psychopaths and a large population being dragged along by them, how do you fix that? How do you screen out the psychos? How do you convince police departments to screen out the psychos? And, perhaps more importantly, how do you screen out the people who can be dragged along?

Woozy posted:Pictured: 40 cops in hoods Yeah, in the modern era the Klan is a bunch of loser rednecks in hoods, but in their heyday they were one of the most important, most powerful political forces in the US and had hundreds of thousands of respectable members including doctors, lawyers, cops, politicians, and so on. The KKK used to be "respectable", a notion that should forever dispel in any mind the notion that respectability is inherently good.
