More LEOs behaving badly

"Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police," Cop Says Before Tasering Little Boy - Hit & Run : Reason.com

 

NO. They are not far and few between. They are the rule, not the exception. Half of my family are cops, (in fact, I had to pass a back ground check to marry into the family.) The VAST majority of officers are doing their best to uphold the law, respect the people they serve, and remove from the streets, those who do not.
They are in my experience, professional, effective, and take their jobs seriously. But like all walks of life, there are some who take themselves too seriously, or elevate themselves. Cops do not tolerate bad cops. Any officer who can not handle being an enforcer should drive a desk, or be dismissed from the force.

 

There is a caption, as you roll over the image, that says "At least he didn't use the Taser XREP" which is pictured. (a new product I have seen reviewed recently.)

 

Not really TOTAL WD,no swat team standing around with the driver on the ground twitching and the rear door lying over in the grass still smoking.

18 years down the toilet . . . just not worth it.

 

Women tased in LA then goes into cardiac arrest. Plus some good info for taser happy cops.

 

Glad he got caught. Now I wonder what else he did in his 18 years as a trooper???

The following will make you ask yourself, if the majority of todays LEOs are like Alpha, where in a sane world was the good one involved in this action.
.
2 people dead. No weapon found in their possession. These 2 people had records and obviously were not members of the local Lion's Club or Church Choir. In this case it seems they were in the wrong place at the right time to die at the hands (guns) of a bakers dozen amped up Storm Troopers

I don't know. A twenty-five minute chase would give someone plenty of time to dispose of a weapon. I agree that we are seeing something of an overreaction on the part of the LEOs involved (or some poor shooting); but some common sense on the "victims" part would have been a good thing.

IF they didn't do anything wrong, why were they running? I know, I know, attempting to flee is not an admission of guilt; but come on. Frankly, I'm a little tired of the LEOs having to play nicey nicey with these little thugs. When a cop says STOP, it isn't a invitation to a race through the county. It freaking means STOP!

If you didn't do anything wrong, (generally) you go on your way. Maybe I just haven't had some of the bad experiences with LEOs that some other folks have had. Every time that an officer has pulled me over or stopped me over the years, in multiple states, they have been disgustingly polite and professional. I wouldn't want their job, and so I am slow to criticize them.

Let the flames begin.

 

No flames, but I have to say that if you pulled this S on someone that did not display a gun or fire at you at the time when you unloaded on them, you would be sitting in jail on murder charges instead of riding a desk and getting paid.

 

The LEOs involved in this incident violated more than one of their own standard operating procedures. If you can't keep a clear head, and use standard rules of engagement for deadly force, you have no business wearing a badge let alone carrying a firearm in public. Oversight, investigation in detail, and if it warrants, suspensions, outright firings, and or prosecution under the law may well be called for here. It doesn't look good. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. A coverup or a white wash would be a mistake for all. This is a problem that needs to be addressed and resolved. My first post was meant to ask, where was that one sane voice in charge to monitor and take control of this situation before it went out of control like this? As you said, this chase went on for 25 minutes. Where were the supervisors and oversight.

 

TX jackboots at their best. Pull this kind of S and expect a lawsuit and a visit when your off duty!

They don't come much dumber than this.

 

sorry PsOS

Jackboots! Just for running outside . . . . These guys should be prosecuted when they do stunts like this at the wrong address. I'll betcha there would be fewer raids on incorrect houses after that.

Is it me, or are they getting much better at hitting dogs and pedestrians?

Police Shoot, Kill Dog When Going To A Home By Mistake « CBS Denver

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – An Adams County man is in shock after he says deputies shot and killed his dog.
Jeff Fisher said deputies went to his house by mistake. He said when they opened the door his dog Ziggy ran outside and officers shot and killed him.
Fisher said Ziggy was his best friend and can’t believe he’s gone.
“(He went to the door) to see who it was and the police officer shot him three times,” Fisher said. “They killed my dog for no reason.”
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to the address on reports of a business alarm going off. A spokesman said he can’t say more until the investigation is complete.

 

No driver is going to get away with being rear ended by my son! And I'll put a gun to her head to prove it!!

 

He's pretty hard to beat.
