I love when people chime in to these threads with "Yeah but more white people get killed by cops every year". Jeeeeeeezus christ bucko, do you genuinely not know to adjust statistics based on population demographics or are you intentionally picking misleading statistics to make your bigoted bullshit look like it's 'backed up by facts'?

They're extremely quick to adjust based on population demographics when talking about crime rates so probably the latter.

I dunno what helldump is but we should dump hell.

I like the idea that cops be armed with Portal guns that send criminals to jail, except instead of jail its a graveyard, and instead of portals it shoots bullets, and also the bullets are covered with cocaine so tox screens come up positive, and also the guns give the cop a beejay when he shoots while simultaneously shorting out his body cam

I didn't watch The Shield, but from what I can tell, it's about a part of the police officer uniform, the shield part, which is a little shield he wears to stop bullets from penetrating his heart.

The Shield is pretty cool if you can get past the 90s TV show stuff like the intro song and whatnot.

It's a touching tale about an officer in the inner city struggling against the odds to keep crime off the streets and help his friends :)

Until the government commits to employing everyone willing to work for a living wage there will be war in the streets and because of historical and demographical reasons black people, mentally ill people, and homeless people will bear the brunt of it. No amount of body cameras or putting cops in jail is going to stop them from being loving terrified when dealing with a public descending into lower and lower standards of living every year. The politicians telling you that the criminal justice system is broken are the same ones shipping jobs and prosperity overseas to serve their biggest donors and making the situation worse.

It varies greatly. Police departments range from giant, union-driven organizations of thousands of employees in major cities to lovely, good ol' boy circle jerks in rural areas. The amount of training they receive can vary anywhere between almost nothing and lots depending on their location.

Remember in the 80's when a major plot point of cop movies was internal affairs investigating the protagonist for shooting someone? Like they would be worried, after shooting a room full of dudes with guns & cocaine or a guy stealing a purse at gunpoint, that IA would come in and kick them off the police department. And it was always a relief, 'IA cleared you, the guy had a gun, pointed at you with the safety off so it was legal to shoot him. Here's your gun and badge back'.

Now if a cop shoots an unarmed (black) person for any reason, they get a 2 week paid vacation and a bunch of free money if they make a #bluelivesmatter kickstarter.

Kind of a quaint thought, police being worried about consequence.

Also it turns out the watchmen don't like being watched.

To be fair I bet poo poo was a lot worse in the 80s and that's just Hollywood being Hollywood. We just have cameras everywhere now to catch them in the act.

e: the movies also make you think IA is a thing that matters and isn't just full of a bunch of older cops who largely are lenient on police because thin blue line

This simply means that to meet market demand the salary of police would go up until it got to a point where they were willing to be on TV 24/7.

Honestly that doesn't sound that bad.

You say this like half of all jobs (at least) already don't have you under constant CCTV. A lot of computer jobs involve IT being able to view screen your box any time they want without you noticing either, and they're definitely looking at the traffic if nothing else.

A penalty point or demerit point system to pay and legal action against those that do this would sort this out easily. If it weren't for the blue shield which is controlled mostly from patriarchal norms and reinforced heavily with heteronormativity and an authoritarian do-gooder/white knight church spin.
