Cop Allows K-9 to Maul Handcuffed, Face Down Suspect, Then Blames it On Him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhdccCz1Doo

Green Forest, AR — A disturbing body cam video was uploaded to Facebook Thursday which shows a Green Forest police officer let go of his K-9 after other officers had a suspect face down and in handcuffs.

The graphic video does not lie.

do you hear the k-9 officer breathing hard? seems like he's out of breath... how are you out of breath by doing nothing? what, holding the dog? how fat or out of shape is this cop to be out of breath like that when he's not doing anything?

the k-9 officer and the k-9 should be fired and the officer/sheriff's office should be sued by him...

your thoughts of this incident?

Florida Active Shooter Drill With Gun-Toting Cop Angers Middle School Parents

A school lockdown drill in Winter Haven, Florida, angered parents whose children apparently texted in alarm, with one noting that a police officer with an assault rifle came into a classroom.

Initially, only three people knew the lockdown at Jewett Middle Academy on Thursday was only a drill, police said. Parents, teachers and students were not told in advance about the scheduled event because, the school district said, the element of surprise is vital to make the drill effective


how do you feel about this?

New York.

The shooter — identified as Ismaaiyl Brinsley — boasted about wanting to murder cops in the hours before he ambushed the officers outside the Tompkins Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant about 2:45 p.m.

“I’m putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours ... let’s take 2 of theirs,” Brinsley, 28, wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of a silver handgun.

He also included three hashtags: ShootThePolice, RIPErivGarner (sic) and RIPMikeBrown.

“This may be my final post ... I’m putting pigs in a blanket.”

Police officer shot, killed overnight in Tarpon Springs;

So, in the eyes of at least a few, this is justified. Right?

Protesters chanted violent slogans: “What do we want? Dead cops!”

These are just a few examples of people who, upon learning of the murder of two New York City police officers, took to Twitter to express their approval and glee.

@drleftover, what does your post have anything to do with this topic?

should we hold the police at a higher standard? should they be put in jail and/or punished the same way as everyone else that don't hold a badge? should cops be fired on spot if he/she is busted, caught or found guilty of a crime? do you think law enforcement gets away too easily and lightly? do you think a lot of cops are above the law and do and say whatever they please on the daily basis?


why go off topic and post about cops being killed and other off topic stuff? :|

everyone knows that cops get killed by criminals...

that's not what this topic is all about...

Excuse me?

What is the Title of the Thread?
 
the topic title doesn't make what the topic is about, the post is what makes the topic what it is and you clearly disregard my first post and try to make this topic into something that it's not on purpose... ;)

nice try doc...
 
So you don't think that Reverend Sharpton's peaceful protesters calling for "dead cops" and then some loving and noble member of The Community acting on that call influences the way the police act, react, and Over React to result in the situations you are discussing?

no...

those "situations" were before the ferguson thing...

but of course you love to spin things and now trying to blame the blacks for making the cops do bad things...

good job...
 
I didn't post the Chris Rock video.

But, since it is only blacks provoking and then being killed by police:

A Dover man wielding a BB gun was fatally shot by police Sunday morning, according to the Dover Police Department.

the chris rock video was a video about law enforcement and how true it really is that police are out there racially profiling people of all colors and creeds... but to assume that police are not racially profiling blacks and been since forever now is just unprecedented and very laughable...

and who said only blacks are provoking and being killed by police?

i still think you're missing the point of this topic...

you didn't even try to answer any of the questions in the OP and to discuss it, you just outright post stuff about ferguson and off topic material... good job...
 
You're always going to have bad apples when it comes to law enforcement...which reminds me of an ancedotal quote by former Los Angeles police chief William Parker, who was asked how the LAPD was going to try to deal with incidences of police brutality, corruption, etc.,...his response was thus:
We'll always have cases like this because we have one big problem in selecting police officers...we have to recruit from the human race.

That last bit could sum up, in a nutshell, why there will always be bad apples w/in law enforcement and why we can never fully eradicate it....and why we must have a vigilant public to serve as a watch over them.

very good, now you're making sense here...

but there are ways of fighting corruption and to stop, or try to at least, the bad apples, but those steps aren't being taken...

specific laws and harsh punishment for law enforcement that commits crime would make a cop think twice about going to the dark side as well as other interventions that will work against such acts...

police being punished like everyone else is the first start...

I do not see it saying that at all. What says to me is OBEY THE LAW.

And when blacks are 12% of the population and committing most of the crimes yes they are rightfully going to be profiled.

But from 1999 to 2011 the CDC reports cops killed 2,151 whites by being shot. And 1,130 blacks were killed the same way. So if cops are targeting blacks it ain't showing it in the statistics for who cops kill more of.
 
no, it's saying that be a good little sheep and not make the cop mad and maybe, just maybe you wont get beat up or shot...
 
Maybe it said something else.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Police are searching for the vandals responsible for spray-painting anti-police graffiti in West Philadelphia.

The phrase “Cop Live Don’t Matter” was spray-painted on a fence along Baltimore Avenue.

A second anti-police message was spray-painted on a nearby church that read “F*** COPS.”

De Blasio also called the shooting a moment for the city to “take stock,” after weeks of demonstrations against the decision by a New York grand jury not to indict a police officer in the death of Staten Island resident Eric Garner, who lost his life after an aggressive arrest. “Put aside political debates, put aside protests, put aside all of the things that we will talk about in due time,” he said.

But at least one activist group, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), rejected de Blasio’s call to temporarily halt protests and said it would go ahead with a march planned for Dec. 23. “The mayor’s call for a suspension of democracy and the exercise of free speech rights in the face of ongoing injustice is outrageous,” it said in a statement.

no, and that's a result of police brutality, your point is? :|

if the police don't go around beating and killing people then people wouldn't hate the police...

the people are finally rising up and rising against the police state and police brutality, it is indeed a glorious time... why is it just a-okay for cops to beat and kill americans yet when americans fight back against abuse it's bad? why is it that only cop's lives matter and no one else? :|

OK, let's do that.

WHERE and WHEN did the cycle start

AND

End?
 
the cycle started when cops wanted to be bad...

regardless of the criminals...

the police have rules too, they can't just treat everyone how ever they want...

i do understand that sometimes cops have to do what needs to be done, but to ignore the bad things that cops do, is irresponsible, unreasonable and unpatriotic to name a few... and it's not like this is something new, there will always be bad with-in authority but when people see time after time of cops beating up and killing people just for the sake of it is not right and they should be punished like everyone else...

how about this @drleftover, watch this video and tell me if you're happy about it:
