My father was violent/abusive towards my mom, me and my brothers. The first and only time I ever called the cops on him they took me outside, went and talked to my dad first (which is against protocol) and then came outside and told me I needed to be a better daughter and obey my dad and one of them poked me in my…

Also i just saw this. America what a fucking mess, police are being taught that the best sex they will have is after they have killed someone. Some wonder how someone like Trump is doing so well, here is the answer. I have never seen anything so sadistic.
Police officers commit domestic violence at 2 to 4 times the national average. They sympathize with people that beat their wives. Because they do it and their friends and peers do it.
I know two cops personally. Both were ex coworkers of mine who went on to join the force in some capacity years later. One joined our local PD and the other is now a county sheriff. They are, by and large, very different dudes. One tall, one short. One kinda chubby, the other built like a goddamn tank. They don’t…
These were two cops getting their jollies by effectively slaughtering a mentally ill man.
But it sounds like these cops have no fuckin idea about mental disorders.
Yeah. Guess what happens when the victims report.
Yeah, I can see how they’d taser a mentally ill person and bring him in.
Yes...thank you.
Demographic changes, ie white people no longer being the majority, will allow use to change what is so entirely fucking broken in our justice system. They will allow us to push through more laws curtailing police powers. They will allow us to push through laws governing the recruiting process for cops. They will…
This. It’s often the people who insist that if “these people” (the people getting shot by cops but almost always also implies black or hispanic or generally non-white people) just followed orders, they wouldn’t have been killed. While flying the “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, and declaring that the government can take…
Cops are the only profession entitled to unquestioned union benefits. Any deviation, or question of their authority, could potentially jeopardize the most generous and accepted union benefits of any profession in the country. It’s sad, but true. Teachers should be paid more, and treated better than the police, but…
Yes, absolutely. But I think the primary difference between policing and all other professions is that cops are empowered by the state to carry lethal weapons, meaning their mistakes are more likely to result in the loss of human life. If anything, police officers should be much, much more inclined to disavow…
Also just a few days ago police in US tasered to death an mentally ill black person called Reginald Thomas, they left his body in his house for 12 hours. It amazing that the US can lecture anyone about being the land of the free or best country in world, you are killing off a generation.
Oh, I’m pretty sure the saying is “a few bad apples get placed on administrative leave while the good apples use every hurdle the system offers in order to protect them.”
Here’s my current cop beef. There are good cops and bad cops, just like any other profession. The difference between them and other professions is the need to defend rather than disavow the bad ones. I’m a teacher and my first thought when I hear about something horrible a teacher did is that they have disgraced the…
You should be worried about your friend. Scroll through The Counted (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2015/jun/01/the-counted-police-killings-us-database): An interactive website where you can click to read about individuals killed by police. There aren’t many white women, or children. But you’ll see…
OH FFS. Of course they didn’t try to contact mental health professionals. If they’d done that they wouldn’t have been able to have th3ir sick ass “fun” with the guy, and be hailed as the next poster of among the part of Trump’s base thay is for Trump’s idea of “LAW&ORDER” where racism runs rampant. I bet there is…
I have an acquaintance from high school who is married to a patrol cop, and she posts stuff about how he hates his job and never wants to go to work. He’s also incredibly sensitive to any criticism, even innocuous Facebook comments. When something terrible like this happens, I can’t help but think of him. I would 100%…
