Is there any movement in the Tamir Rice shooting case in Cleveland? Is there any indictment or charge? Any discipline or dismissal of the shooter or just the usual circling of wagons by Cleveland PD?

So is there a consensus agreement that police killings of citizens, and in general the easy resort to deadly force by U.S. police, is a problem? In U.S. society as a whole I think it's a majority opinion but not an overwhelming consensus, I suspect here in DnD it's pretty much consensus.

If you were to view problems systemically, I'd say some major factors, all which have been discussed here exhaustively, include:

1. All the police are carrying firearms when the majority of law enforcement activities may not require this

2. Training and doctrine leading too readily to the use of the power of arrest and physical restraining and subduing citizens when less "escalatory" means might well suffice and not incur the risk of a physical confrontation

3. In many instances the police shooter may not have much or any empathy with the citizen, particularly if they view the population being policed as a hostile occupied territory or if racism is at play, i.e. they simply don't care about or value the citizen's life and are therefore more cavalier about snuffing it out

4. The police may, in general, feel that they are almost certain to get away with a "bad shoot" because they and their partners will be the only surviving witness and their account will have the benefit of the doubt over any other civilian witness in the absence of other objective evidence. This makes them less reluctant to use deadly force. This doesn't mean that they are necessarily looking to go kill someone, just that the degree of caution exercised is less than if they felt they were more likely to be held to account if they improperly used deadly force. This is similar to the argument that doctors will be more precise in their care and adhere more carefully to good standards in their practice if they are subject to penalty or suit if review of their care shows it to be lacking, than if they are immune from external penalty.

Some of these factors, like racism, are deeply endemic in U.S. society and very difficult to eradicate. However others can be readily addressed either by policy or technology, e.g. have only a subset of police units be equipped with firearms and called upon in specific circumstances, change policy to severely narrow the circumstances in which physical restraint and arrest are used (reducing or eliminating Eric Garner type confrontations), and equip all police with bodycams recording every interaction with civilians with strict procedures for their use and handling of the video and severe penalties for the equipment being nonoperational or disabled.

It may take a generation or more to successfully address issues like racism or the class and warfare of populations like Ferguson's being treated like an occupied territory and being shaken down for revenue. But by tackling some of the systemic issues that can be directly and immediately addressed we should hopefully be able to significantly reduce the incidence of this type of killing in a relatively short time.

In other words, fix what we CAN fix and eliminate some of the factors that contribute to these killings so we can at least begin to decrease the scope of the problem.

To me, the issue of bodycams is pretty much a no brainer at this point, the main issues being cost and the policy and procedures of how to handle the cameras and video, when they are to be activated, how the data is handled and who has access to it, what are the penalties for disabling the camera or not using it or loss or tampering with the video. I can definitely see arguments where people may feel this will be less effective than I feel it will be, but I feel it's one of those measures that is much more likely to help than harm, and I fail to see how it would hurt.

Assuming cost is not an issue for the moment, I'd like to hear compelling arguments against mandatory bodycam use to record every stop and interaction with civilians by police.

The pat response I'm starting to get to the idea that maybe only special cop units should have guns is "well we have the 2nd Amendment in the U.S., anyone might have a gun, therefore all police must have guns, period, stop, end of story".

Is this really the end of that argument or is it not realistic despite the high incidence of gun ownership in the U.S. to consider that 100 percent of police might not have to carry firearms?

I honestly believe it blinds most people in the search for causes.

So what the hell is your point, dude? The cause of what? Police killings? Or the cause of a guy acting like a piece of poo poo?

I listed some causes of police killings earlier. Some can be addressed directly with methods that don't require fixing society at large. Stuff like mandatory bodycam usage removes a lot of the temptation to act like a piece of poo poo because it substantially ramps up the likelihood that lovely behavior will be identified and accountability enforced compared to the current situation where the miraculous appearance of a bystander with a phone cam is almost the only event that can cause accountability for a wrongful killing by police.

What are your ideas aside from "wondering about the causes" why dude would try to cover his tracks with a planted weapon? That's beyond obvious, because most people in any walk of life are venal pieces of poo poo, and if you put them in a situation where they are unlikely to be held to account for serious misdeeds due to the whole system and society taking their word for it when they are the sole chronicler of an event, then the likelihood of such misdeeds will be substantially greater than if they knew there were other eyes documenting their actions. That's true in any walk of life not just police work, we just happen to have set up this situation with police where they have that benefit of the doubt.

You may have very few who are actually looking to kill, but you have a whole lot more people who are otherwise "good" or "ordinary/neutral" who may be a whole lot less careful about when they pull out and use their gun, and when they take other actions that make it more likely that a situation will arise where they will be "forced" to use their gun.

What is your argument, aside from poking a stick into things here?

Zwabu
Aug 7, 2006

You can argue about how easy it is to interpret whether an individual police shooting is justified, but if you don't compile the data you can never begin to analyze the data to look for common threads, racial demograhpics of the incidents, how many were traffic stops, how many involved drugs or alcohol, how much experience the officers had in each incident, what role the officers' partners (if they had one) played etc.

We compile case logs, data bases for all kinds of things. For instance, Divers Alert Network tracks dive related deaths and compiles as much information as possible about each incident and releases an annual report with a description of each and every fatality and categorizes and analyzes as best they can. When a specific type of problem in medicine is identified, for example, unexpected blindness resulting after long spine surgeries, a database was set up to collect information about each and every occurrence to study possible causes to address the problem. My own medical specialty has had a long running project to compile data on every case that resulted in a closed malpractice claim (i.e. generally a lawsuit where there was a finding or settlement against the doctor/hospital), identifying several different categories of incident and resulting in some changes in practice. Closed claims is a crude method and by no means captures every incident, but it's far better than collecting no data at all. The UK has had much more thorough analysis of things like deaths associated with surgery looking at ALL cases over a period of many years.

Police killings of citizens is an issue that cries out for such data collection and analysis. For instance if you found that in half of cases utilizing the power of arresting the citizen or physically subduing them, resulting in a physical confrontation that escalated, could have easily been avoided, then it suggests you could substantially reduce the problem just by utilizing alternate modalities whenever possible. If you find out that 95 percent of the killings are white officers killing blacks and that shootings resulted in these encounters at 5 times the likelihood of traffic stops/arrests for the same cause when white officers stop whites, then it tells you race or race stereotype attitudes/racism is a problem. Etc. etc. You can't necessarily divine with certainty whether a particular shooting was justified, but the data in aggregate has great power and can show you some obvious issues you wouldn't bbe sure about looking at an individual case or even several cases. You could do studies with half a police force wearing body cams and half not and see if there is a difference in shooting type confrontations and incidents, and even switch the groups halfway to account for differences between individuals.

But if you refuse to even gather data to look at, you are essentially saying that either there is no problem, the status quo is fine, or that you have no interest in tackling it or improving the situation.

I'm thinking in the Virginia case the opposite was true.

Also, re: Oklahoma case (lol thought I was reaching for the Taser silly me), even if it wasn't considered malicious, isn't making that kind of mistake a HUGE loving DEAL since it results in the death of a person you weren't trying to kill? Doesn't making that error alone warrant severe discipline and/or dismissal of the officer? Like in the Oakland Fruitvale Station case?

The official response "honest mistake" is like spilling your morning coffee on the floor is an honest mistake. No big deal, really.

Edit: If a cop killed someone by accidentally running over them on the sidewalk driving carelessly, I get the feeling that would be considered a lot bigger deal than accidentally shooting them with a gun instead of a Taser, simply because a gun is involved in the latter case.

I also suspect the "eh, honest mistake" response would probably not be the official word if it was a white citizen who was killed, but call me crazy.

But part of the impunity for police officers has to do with juries favoring law enforcement over minority defendants. The no-bills in the cases of Eric Garner and the SWAT team that burned a toddler is a problem with society that you can't fix by changing policies and procedures.

Interesting that you should use the Eric Garner no-bill as an example of something that's a society problem that can't be addressed with policy/procedure because I think it is exactly the opposite of what you say.

It's very likely that Garner's death was no-billed precisely because the DA and Grand Jury procedure serves as a gatekeeper and barrier to the policemen being indicted. Since the DA's in these cases often have a working relationship with the police involved, there is a systemic conflict of interest in their vigorously pursuing justice for a police victim like Garner in that it might hamper their working relationship with the police there.

It's precisely this sort of thing that policies and procedures can help address even if class, race and other societal issues may still provide an impediment to justice being served. For instance, if there was an indictment and it went to trial, it could happen that the cop's defense attorney was able to finagle an all white Staten Island jury and get an improbable acquittal due to racial attitudes. But at least there wouldn't be the systemic barrier of a conflicted DA tanking the case before a grand jury and preventing a trial in the first place.

If you don't take baby steps you can't take the bigger ones. I haven't read up on the South Carolina SLED, but it sounds like something independent of the local jurisdiction PDs and maybe that's why there's some actual action on some cases there?

This is the sort of person who we need in the police. Now, I'm sure a lot of police will come out and say "oh well these are the sort of decisions I make every day." OK then, put on a body camera and show us. If you assess threats and make decisions like this guy, you'll earn all manner of plaudits from me.

Technically he "increased his risk" by failing to immediately kill the guy. Technically, the only way to truly avoid being murdered by everyone you meet is to kill them first. He was just brave enough to wait for confirmation of a threat instead of opening fire as soon as he had an excuse.

Yeah this was what I meant by exposing himself to increased risk. Obviously he didn't feel the threat was credible, but he left an opening where if he'd read it wrong the guy could have killed him, or his window to stop the guy killing him would have been a lot smaller.

Just to sum up, an unnamed source that's totally within the police says that a prisoner, who cannot be reached for confirmation, who was loaded into the van well after Freddie had been found battered on the floor, and who could not see Freddie, totally said that a man who could not sit or stand had hurled himself against the walls with such force that he broke his own neck and shattered his own larynx.

So there was that video of that unreported stop that the store owner said the authorities got a hold of. I wonder if there's something heinous on it in light of the charges.

A possible scenario is that they are driving around, whether they are intending to rough Gray up with the ride or not, and at some point, probably the point where he smashed his head on the bolt and broke his neck, they hear that sickening crunch and then no more noise out of Gray. They probably go "oh gently caress" and stop to look Gray over and survey the situation, and realize he's in grave condition. The decision then becomes whether to seek immediate medical attention for the guy, or take a course of action (longer ride, picking up other prisoner etc.) likely to result in Gray's death but removing a witness against them. If something like that happened it might be very difficult to prove intent unless one cop rolled over on the others, but it might not be hard to go for a "depraved indifference" kind of scenario where you have a seriously injured man whose life is in danger who you didn't take care to promptly bring to medical attention.

If the unreported stop shows some of those events it could be pretty damning, like if it shows them examining a limp and lifeless appearing Gray, looking around and stuffing him back in the van and then going on an additional half hour of ride without reporting any of it.

But I have some questions about whether the video actually exists, hopefully it does. Didn't the Korean shop owner say something about the cops first coming and getting copies of the video (before the riots) and then his laptop with the video being looted during the riot?

In the case of the cop who shot his wife that is being discussed, even after the second time he shot her (multiple times), it's inexcusable for them to spend any substantial amount of time "talking him down" even after the daughter was rescued because the presence of the guy and his gun, even if he's pointing it at himself or at no one, prevents emergency medical personnel from entering the scene and extracting the wife, as the scene is not secured.

No one can assume that she was dead unless, as previously stated, her head was obviously blown off her shoulders or something. Even if she was silent and not moving. Any amount of time beyond the briefest attempt to give him an opportunity to surrender himself substantially reduced her odds of survival if she was still alive.

In major trauma scenarios minimizing the time to transport the patient to definitive care (surgery, placed on a ventilator, blood transfusion etc.) is critical, minutes can make a big difference and a half hour of avoidable delay can be the whole game. So even if the longest period of time was after the second time she was shot, it's still a huge problem.

If the reason the officers didn't fire on their colleague was because of a threat to themselves, such as he was shooting at them from such a place that they had a high risk of adding their own deaths to the toll without an excellent chance of neutralizing him, that would be a bit more understandable, but the story doesn't seem to read like that, seems more like they were trying to prevent him shooting himself without much regard for his victim.

I don't think you can fairly compare the Neptune NJ case with the Walmart shooting at all. In the NJ case the murderer demonstrated very clearly that they were armed and using deadly force against a victim. If there were any doubt it was removed when the man shot his wife a second time with a volley of bullets. Yet still nothing was done for an extended period of time where neutralizing him could result in her receiving medical attention and at least a chance of survival. The police in the Walmart situation had vague and incomplete information and shot immediately without making any effort to confirm the threat posed by the person with the weapon, as did the cop in the Tamir Rice case.

The NJ cop was definitely armed and definitely shooting. Not only did him shooting his wife establish his intent and the threat he posed without a doubt, it imposed an additional burden on the cops on the scene to resolve the situation as quickly as possible to allow aid to the injured party, which would have been very different had it been merely a hostage situation where he hadn't already shot someone.

Okay, so building on this - would you be okay if becoming a police officer required a type of licensing similar to a lawyer or a doctor, and that revoking that license means the individual can never be employed in law enforcement in any capacity?

Just to correct this point, medical licensing (the main barrier to entry to practicing medicine) is done by the states independently of each other. There is nothing to prevent someone from losing their license in one state from getting one to practice in another, and such things have happened many times before.

Now each state will have a set of questions the applicant for a new license or renewal must answer, and they include things like asking whether you have been convicted of a crime, whether you have lost your license in a state or lost privileges to practice in a facility etc. that you must answer, but the applicant is free to lie about these. How much background checking is done by the states is up to them, I'm sure it varies greatly, I'd hope that they would all at least check each applicant for a criminal record but I don't even know if this is done.

There is a federal database, the National Practitioner Data Bank, that maintains information about doctors that licensing boards and medical facilities can access, but I think it's inconsistent what kind of information is submitted to it.
