what i dont get is american cops. how they will go smash a house up to seize a few ounces of weed.

or how they bother doing stings to catch buyers. why bother wasting thousands of dollars and all the effort just to take a few people off the street who are only buying single rocks?

like what a waste of money, the cops time, the court costs, possible incarceration costs. at least in canada most cops dont give a shit about drugs.

They need it to look like they're doing something. It's fucking pathetics.

It's so sad when I see officers in parking lots by the road on friday nights trying to catch speeders.... and not home with their families.

Around here, they hide in dark alleys. And I've actually seen them stalking people late at night with their headlights off. Shit is fucking crazy, out of control.

I really want to know why this isn't part of the political discourse... paying that many officers to skulk around for that many hours with that much equipment has to take a major toll on our economy that is doing nothing good for anybody.

Well, I mean, police is a huge term. What about homicide detectives? Arson investigators? State, local, federal, general services, etc? I understand most people are frustrated with a lot of the law enforcement but patrol and drug enforcement is only a part of it.

That being said what can a "good" cop do in a shitty department? He needs to get paid just like everyone else. What can a "bad" cop do in a "good" department? Well, apparently he can do just about anything and get a month-long paid suspension. Nice perks.

Re: More police brutality [Re: BeverageFace]

I had about a 40 minute conversation with a retired police officer at a career fair here on campus and he asked me if I was considering becoming an officer.  I said I have considered it but I couldn't because I refuse to arrest someone for a victimless crime and help support the taliban by jailing heroin dealers.  The guy looked at me puzzled then said "You have the discretion to make arrests, countless times I ran into a guy with a bag of dope and threw it down the gutter and told him to get lost"  but I just said sure... but you still help fund the Taliban because the fact that it's illegal is the reason they make a profit off of it and therefore have the funds to fight our troops. 

Once again the guy paused then spewed this shit, I dont even know wtf he means still but he said: "We have to choose our battles.... the machine has gotten far too big and I understand what you are saying, but all it takes is one person to pull the linchpin and start a revolution, maybe it can be you."

The first part I was like :wtf: the second part though actually gave me hope and he started saying how 15 states now have medical weed and 25 years ago he thought he'd never see the day.  :shrug: lil random story.

..stopping drivers that endanger others isn't a total waste of time....quite few drunken assholes speeding around freely we can live without...but yes,numerous things they don't need to be out on patrol for as far as nonviolent crime goes.

The big problem I have police, besides what I see as a unfair standard of punishment, is the whole public safety "machine". Every local police force has a SWAT team, decked out gear and automobiles, logos, special armor, haz-mad whatever, enough guns to arm the rebels in Libya. Police reports are sometimes falsely skewed to get more govt money, more support to fight the perceived enemy at the time. The police have "objective goals" in regards to writing tickets so that they can get more money, for more stuff from us. You can see where I'm going; the machine that is built upon public safety, the government, the country. It just grows, and grows, and grows, and now we are 14 trillion in debt, entering a 3rd foreign conflict.




This is really fucking true. I live in Albany, California. You've probably never heard of it, and that's because it covers all of one square mile.

Our police department has about a dozen cruisers, a police SUV, and a SWAT van of its very own. And they employ 85 officers.

I've seen them send out three, four cruisers for noise complaints. They have nothing else to waste their gas on. It's fucking ridiculous. Why is it that our legislators are attacking welfare and regulation when they should be attacking these massively inflated, completely useless public services?




that is ridiculous...we have pretty much the same deal here and in all of the surrounding towns...one person heard having a mild argument,then you get 6 or 7 people in uniform standing around like meerkats..some 6 or 7 different branches(kinds,groups,whatever) of police within this town alone...not a big place

I wouldn't be on death row.  Apparently you don't know shit about shit.

Quote:


ive actually never had a bad experience with the police.

if youre calm and collected and dont act like you have something to hide, and dont look at them as authority (because they really arent figures of authority, that badge means nothing) then they wont bother you.

they go after fear. if you have no fear and talk to them on a person to person basis they will let you go with a warning every time.




Not true.  Apparently you've never had a motherfucker in a uniform bust your head open because he wanted to.  Being the right color and having the right amount of money helps with that, I'm sure.

Today in America being killed by a cop for committing a non-violent crime, or even no crime at all is a real risk that people face every day.  People die every week, if not every day due to police actions that weren't legitimate.


Having to watch a man being told to "Stop resisting" as he struggles to gasp for air, fighting to get a breath while having men tase him and surround him on all sides, creating/at LEAST contributing to his inability to breathe WHILE he is handcuffed AND shackled is heartbreaking.  Knowing that nothing happened to his murderers and torturers is much worse.  Then they fucking kill a guy and say he died due to "Excited delirium", not asphyxia.  This is fucking crazy man.

Honestly I'm tired of being alive.  I'm tired of looking at shit like this and knowing people want to do things like this to me.  I'm fucking tired of knowing that there are people who literally are permitted to kill other people within the United States of America (illegitimately).

This is like watching the holocaust take place and everyone just doesn't give a shit because it's within the law.  Then in 30+ years after any and everyone involved in these brutality cases is dead we'll pooh pooh all these long dead faggot ass bitches and talk about how cool it is that we've "progressed" past this heinous barbarity while undoubtedly participating in a bunch of flagrantly criminal activity that in another 30 years we'll shake our heads at.

This is corruption man.  This is fucking murdering someone or harming someone and then writing shit down on paper that basically says "We refuse to accept responsibility.  Fuck that dmotherfucker, they had it coming to them."

This is wrong man.  Hearing people defend an support it boils my blood.  I have more respect for the cartel when they are murdering people and chopping off heads than a TEAM of people asphyxiating a handcuffed and shackled man.

I'm fucking surprised they even tried to resuscitate the guy and didn't say slap his corpse in the face with their dicks and spit on him.  They may as well have.



this is exactly how i feel. watching those videos hurt. when will it end(it wont)? when will we fight back(never)? honestly, i've never personally had a "bad "experience with a police officer. but that wont cloud my judgement. the proof exists. and really pris? you're the one thats not even worth the time. goodnight everyone.

i knew someone who was being abused by their dad since a kid, went to the cops, detectives said they wont do anything because she has done drugs in the past, and it would be word vs word. they wouldnt even look into it. I honestly believe it was because he was a wealthy business man. if he was blue collar, and didnt live in a big nice house, the guy would have been investigated.

like i said, most cops want the easy bust, a quick easy arrest and big recognition. they wont bust their ass if it wont make the paper.
