Cop in America doing a bad job, again

[nimic]

Scary how this thread wouldn't even exist without that video. Makes me wonder them number of people getting killed all over the country in similar situations.

Yep. No one should even remotely surprised that anti-authority/police sentiments have grown strong among black communities in the US. The sad part is that the people who helped create the situation are now the same people who talk about problems with "urban culture". It's not entirely dissimilar to the pre-genocide situation of Jews in Germany and occupied countries. If you put someone in an overcrowded ghetto, deprive them of basic necessities and generally treat them like shit, pretty soon to your eyes they're going to seem like the subhumans you already think they are.

The comparison only goes so far, but I'll be damned if it doesn't apply.

 

[Wedge]

To be fair he's a lot bigger than the cop and, from that angle, that means those blows probably didn't do much more than sting.

Pretty embarassing for the cop, really.

So you don't strike somebody like that, the cops in Yankee doodle land are basically a legal gang.

 

[Wedge]

Soldiers do this type of training day in and day out and it can still go to shit in a live situation. I bet cops do a bare minimum of tactical training. I did a lot of CQB training and it isn't easy.

Totally agree with you as I've done it myself and it takes a lot for it to go according to plan.

 

[Wedge]

This cop doing a good job. Guy was an absolute divvy, ringing cardi b thinking he’d get away with it

That cop is how all cops in Yankee land should behave.

Yeah, I'm not condoning it. The poster I was replying to was wondering how the guy didn't go down from what appeared to be some powerful punches.

 

[Il Prete Rosso]

The phase "A thousand French men can't be wrong" never applied to black people's complaints of law enforcement in their communities. A lot of police officers and lawyers within the US used minorities and their communities to advance their careers through unjust and even illegal methods. It's minorities that make up the vast majority of their prison population and it's not rocket science why this is. Eventually, I do believe their chickens would come home to roost, how; how unfortunately I don't think it would involve a peaceful process.

Oh sorry should of checked.

I truly hope this has some traction.

I find it very strange how the american society apparently accept the lunatic abuse of the monopoly of violence by the state. I mean, cops are bad in many countries, they act as the gestapo in my country, but it seems to be contrary to the american ethos to allow agents of the government to punch, shoot and terrorize part of the population.

The officer’s punishment? He quit, and was duly rehired by a different police department, but he did ‘two days of training in domestic violence’ so it’s ok.

 

[Eboue]

this is the worst country

 

[entropy]

This article stayed with me ever since I first read it. Five years on, little to nothing has changed in terms of ending cash bail, rikers island, solitary confinement and CJ reforms. Our criminal justice system is so broken beyond repair it is disgusting.

I was reading the thread on r/protectandserve (a police sub) and I just noticed how often the word "justification" was used. As in, "yup this is bad, I can't see a justification".

I mean, it's good that they agree the officer is in the wrong here. But this tendency/inclination to find a "justification" feels...weird? You bet if that guy had resisted just a little bit they would have defended the officer.

Probably becauae if they really say it as it is there will be riots.

It already past the boiling point. You can't really admit it's a racist attack, you cant ignore it, you cant deny it exist. feck knows what they're going to do with it.

It's just maintaining status quo i think

Doesn’t get any clearer cut than that. Inexplicable, unjustifiable, grossly incompetent on both officers

It's not inexplicable, they're racist pricks with licence to kill and they enjoy it. Bet they were high-fiving each other later.

 

[Adisa]

The "few bad apples" line goes out the window when you realise there are always other cops when these guys commit murder.

Just seen this on Twitter.

absolutely shocking, the most clear murder by police I’ve ever seen. That motherfker was clearly enjoying it too, didn’t even stop once to check if he was ok when the crowd were getting upset.

they both deserve to be on death row. Less than human scum bags.

The east Asian officer finishes off the video by saying "don't do drugs" to the bystanders.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

He has the suspect cuffed and in control, then he can clearly feel the suspect in distress and later flat line, there are people filming him and begging him to take his knee off of the man's neck and the mouth breathing moron is still at it even after the EMT arrives. He must really feel the suspect's life doesn't matter to resort to that level of callousness. I mean a man could go to jail for animal cruelty if he did that to a dog.

 

[Grinner]

How is kneeling on a cuffed suspect's neck a method of restraint? That's got to be incredibly dangerous.

Assuming asking the fbi is to keep it impartial or would that be standard practice?

Towards the end of the article.

The officers involved, who have not been publicly identified, were placed on paid administrative leave, the police chief said. The case will be separately investigated by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune investigates most in-custody deaths.

Don't know if we can tell he's a racist just from that clip, although he might well be. Could just have been a shitty person on a fecked up power trip.

Incredibly heinous either way and I hope those police officers are put to trial.

During Tuesday’s news conference with the mayor, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said he had decided to ask the FBI to investigate after receiving “additional information” on the incident from a community source that “just provided more context than the information I had preliminarily.” He declined to elaborate further.

 

[Carolina Red]

Nah bro

What the feck is going on? I copy pasted that from the page but now it's not there! That's in the space of 20mins!

news outlets have administrative leave on their cop murder templates

Probably because it was initially reported that they were placed on admin leave, as is standard practice, then once more details came out, the MPD decided to fire them.
