Bored As gently caress posted:For bike cops and ATV cops around where I used to live, they wait for cars or paddy wagons to come. Especially beach cops. The article says there were no transport units available, so they were bringing the guy to their staging area two blocks away. How the gently caress do you make that decision without thinking it through?

McNally posted:"We encourage those leaders to be mindful because their words may jeapordize (sic) the integrity of the city of Dallas and DPD" reads like being told "be careful what you say, for your own safety" accompanied by a hard stare. Yeah, it's not a particularly veiled statement. It's "dad sitting on the porch cleaning a shotgun" veiled, except far more credible.

Kawasaki Nun posted:eh requiring a BA shrinks the potential hire pool for police departments which in turn should incentivise these institutions to institute more robust / effective training regiments because they can't just replace bad hires with rookies. It also would likely require that they pay better to compete with other industries that a BA would open up their applicants to. Who knows what it would actually look like in the real world though. Now replace "cops" with "military officers" and see if you still agree. stealie72 posted:Quick google says in dallas anyway vet cops are more shooty. You're not going to attract better people with poo poo wages that require 20 hrs of overtime a week just to keep the mortgage paid up. Edit: Also I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but in some states potential cops have to pay their way through the academy unless they have a job waiting for them (which is one way that vets get in so easily...the PD knows they can take orders and run a mile or whatever so they're less of a risk than the 22 year old college student who hasn't worked anywhere but fast food).

Kawasaki Nun posted:I don't really understand what you're getting at with this statement. Cops shouldn't be earning poverty wages and we as a nation should not be hiring bottom of the barrel applicants to police our communities because that's all we are willing to pay. The stupidity of requiring a degree, any degree, as a way of determining whether one is qualified for a job that is almost certainly unrelated to the field of said degree. Edit: Actually I think we're in agreement on this. Not really sure how I misread your post, so pretend I was piling on.

Using a video edited to start in the middle of the event is exactly the same as using edited body cam footage to implicate the suspect/victim in police assault cases. Congrats, you're a cop.

You probably need a reason to restrict someone's duties and their paychecks. If he was cleared, it seems questionable that they could keep him on that status. If they couldn't trust him, they should've done something else (like not clear him). He'll probably win.

Shooting Blanks posted:Is it less than ideal to have every officer lined up on one wall? Sure. But there is no defined hierarchy for someone to give orders, there isn't any information indicating other shooters - and this is a crime scene, not a war zone, chances are there won't be additional shooters. Look, ultimately the problem with your premise is that interagency training will never be a thing, primarily for logistical reasons. Policing in America is done at a local level, and it's unreasonable to expect that 4 agencies will have not only trained together enough to coordinate their actions in a meaningful way, but also to establish who has jurisdiction/control/whatever over a given scene to be able to give orders. It's a chaotic, dynamic situation and you do the best you can. Hell, given the lack of uniforms (which, as has been pointed out, is a function of the emergency) splitting up could prove to be more dangerous if one cop sees someone they don't know with a firearm. I'm super late to the party, but even the military fucks up joint ops on a daily goddamned basis despite spending almost half a century specifically trying to fix that problem.
