why are you being so patronizing about that. he's right, the Cop's job includes assessing threats, otherwise we would just send out drones to nuke out any area where people were reported to be threatening.

If I call the cops on your house for threatening to shoot out your neighbours they arent supposed to go in there and just put you down without fact checking.

It doesnt work that way here.  There are 300,000,000+ firearms in this country and an emergency report that someone is loading an AK-47 in a public place and waving it at children is going to be acted on.

For 2014 my goal is to be a professor instead of a student and I won't have time for anything else.

Yes I am.  And I swear I will never ever EVER be a student again ever as long as I live.  Or at least in 2015.

The police in Cleveland are being warned they are targets for revenge killings.  This is probably going to make them even more apt to shoot first and possibly cause more innocents to die.  East Cleveland is ugly during the best of times.

"CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Heartless Felons gang gave its members orders to kill white police officers to avenge black lives taken by white police officers, including the Nov. 21 Tamir Rice shooting, officials said."


yeah this will really help

Holy smokes! Archie is getting a reboot/relaunch, courtesy of Mark Waid (!) and Fiona Staples (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). They will apparently be giving Riverdale a "new look and an edgier tone", which sounds potentially terrible, but... Mark Waid and Fiona Staples, man. That creative team sounds amazing, and Waid isn't the type to do a souless, shitty grim n' gritty reboot. They know what they're doing!

I don't know if I like this.

There's probably tons of 911 calls all the time in a single day, it's the police's job to filter them out and figure out which ones are legit and which ones are full of shit.

OK, you made me laugh.

"It is important for you to convey to the public that police officers pursue criminality, not color. Officers must have a reason to make contact with an individual. They must be able to explain later in court that they had either a reasonable suspicion or probable cause to believe the individual had committed or was about to commit an offense.

The fact is that more than 95 percent of police contacts are handled without rising above the level of dialog. This is because most people are cooperative and compliant. This is the way it should be, because it is unlawful to resist and or obstruct an officer, while in the performance of his/her duty.

If a person disagrees with a stop or an arrest, the place to argue the case vigorously is in a court of law, not on the street."

source

And

"The Lakota People’s Law Project strongly disagrees with Police Chief Karl Jegeris’s decision to deny the permit for Lakota people to participate in an Anti-Police Brutality March and Rally in Rapid City. The march, which is being organized by LPLP Attorney Chase Iron Eyes, Cody Hall and James Swan was slated for Friday at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, the same site where the Lakota Nation Invitational is being held."

"Police Chief Jegeris sent a letter to Hall, Swan, and Iron Eyes, stating that Hall’s permit request had been denied for “public safety reasons,” yet another unsubtle irony given that Jegeris will effectively disallow a protest that calls into question the tactics of his own department."

Source


My opinion is that while real police brutality does exist and minorities are typically treated with more suspicion, police training shouldn't change.  I would hope that wearing a body camera wouldnt make any officer try to second guess or over analyze his training.  Going back to the Ohio WalMart case:

"When Ronald Ritchie called 911 from the aisles of a Walmart in western Ohio last month to report that a black man was “walking around with a gun in the store”, he said that shoppers were coming under direct threat.

“He’s, like, pointing it at people,” Ritchie told the dispatcher. Later that evening, after John Crawford III had been shot dead by one of the police officers who hurried to the scene in Beavercreek, Ritchie repeated to reporters: “He was pointing at people. Children walking by.”

 "Crawford, 22, turned out to be holding an unloaded BB air rifle that he had picked up from a store shelf. After Ritchie said Crawford appeared to be “trying to load” the gun, the 911 dispatcher relayed to an officer that it was believed the gunman “just put some bullets inside”.

It seems to me the person calling in the false 911 call is the one accountable.

And it was protested soon after:


“We came here armed. We are proponents of open-carry. This case is clearly a case related to open carry. Maybe John Crawford wasn’t carrying a real firearm but he was carrying what seemed to be a real firearm, and the over-reaction of the police in this instance is completely outrageous,” Virgil Vadura told WDTN.

This happened in 2013, but has been making the rounds of social media lately

"Ethan, who had Down syndrome, enjoyed the film so much that he decided to go back to his seat for a second showing while his aide went to get the car to take them home. When he refused to buy another $12 ticket, off-duty police moonlighting as security guards allegedly tackled him in an attempt to eject him from his seat.

An hour later, the young man was dead from "asphyxiation by homicide," according to the medical examiner's report.

The case went to a grand jury, which declined to indict the three sheriff's officers involved in the Jan. 12 incident, according to the Washington Post.

Saylor said when the mall officers pulled Ethan from his seat he panicked and then screamed for his mother.

When the aide, whom Saylor would not identify, returned to witness the police asking Ethan to buy a ticket or leave, she told them he didn't like to be touched and would "freak out." The family alleges officers ignored her pleas as Ethan was handcuffed and dropped to the floor, then stopped breathing."

Someone I USED to respect just  told me if the guy had a job and had been at work it never would have happened AND the reason he died was because he was so fat.  Seriously, some of the people here are stuck in the 1950's.

FERGUSON, Mo. — Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency on Monday, allowing him to activate the Missouri National Guard in preparation for a grand jury decision on whether to indict a white police officer for shooting to death an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, three months ago.
