Cop picked to head up investigation into clash between antifa and far-right extremists sought access to only antifa social media accounts, and not the accounts of any of the neo-nazis. He recommended zero charges against any of the rightwing guys holding knives on video after the stabbings of several antifa protesters, because he couldn't be sure any one of them was "solely" responsible. So I guess if you wanna stab people, have a friend help. He recommended charges against 100 antifa members; prosecutors decided to actually go after 3.

This is the kind of thing that makes me distrust police.

Man super glad I'm not a officer though do not think i could cover for those guys which would cause them to harm me which then would be covered up by other officers.

Could you imagine the amount of paperwork and bullshit he'd have to put up with? Not to mention getting them all for whatever it was they were doing, probably simple trespass? Hard to tell without context.

A buddy in Parks Police said he and some locals who backed him up caught a bunch of kids (late teens, early 20s) in an old abandoned building that had never been abated for asbestos. All the kids and all Officers and vehicles had to get decontaminated. Was a giant clusterfuck, had to call the kids parents to bring clothes for the kids because all their clothes had been exposed to asbestos fibres in the air that they kicked up while walking through the building. Officers had to get all their stuff decontaminated, plus the interior of their vehicles.



Sometimes an arrest isnt worth the headache.

Not a cop but I'd definitely do this if I caught someone doing a not-an-actual-crime. It's like, you don't want to get arrested, I don't want to do arrest paperwork, go away and we both win.

This is actually very common in Texas, both for school districts and universities. Offhand, University of Houston, Rice, Texas Southern University, HISD (Houston) all have their own police departments with various interagency agreements.

Hey, does your planet have wiper fluid yet or you gonna freak out and start worshiping us?
Tbh large ISDs (like in TX) having a PD probably makes some sense since the school districts can cross multiple county/city/town police jurisdiction lines and staffing local SRO's, creating aid agreements, different local in-school policies, etc. could potentially be a mess. Easier to just have the SRO's work for the school system PD.

Yeah, all large universities here in WI have their own police department for the most part. That actually makes sense when your campus has 20,000-40,000 people on it spread out over several square miles.

So, anyone want to talk about that guy who was investigating a white supremacist stabbing people at a protest. But then instead tried to find ways to convict the people that were attacked by the white supremacists and made a complete embarrassment of himself and all officers while talking about this as a witness?

Your sample size is way to low for a real understanding of police culture. However recent acts and behaviors and the toleration of such by police in many areas would make your point moot in any real statistical analysis of police criminality.

I think police have more rights than the rest of us and should be held to a standard where them facing consequences for abusing such, and it really bothers me when you all avoid addressing these issues on a whole in a public setting.
