I think it is a matter of what the people hire. Do you hire a police chief and tell him what you want? Or do you hire one and take what you get?
Of course, you must elect people that hire the Chief to be knowledgeable enough to know what needs to be changed, tough enough to stick with it and follow through. It isn't happening in very many Cities. All run by Democrats. @oldmangrouch @dviss1 @bodyman5000 and 1
They should hire me. I'll ride with these dummies and when they do this crap I'll smack em in the nose with a rolled up magazine and say NO NO NO, BAD
Especially when they started yelling at the cop. Really surprised they weren't arrested and the video mysteriously deleted.
Wonder if they were live streaming and are now in jail. They had balls just for filming it. At no time was I certain bullets weren't gonna start flying.
Really? We pretty much all agree it is a problem so we should probably start figuring it out. My sarcastic militia comment might be a start. Some sort of volunteer force to police the police. Then we'll pay the cops that want to stick it out 35 percent more. My summons idea could be implementedd quite easily. Then the cops can roll up in their armored swat vehicles and get a good look at people, take pics and run the plates. No need to show insurance cards, they know immediately if your insurance is valid in NV. Announce over the loudspeaker that they will issue a summons unless the occupants WANT to explain their side right away. They can get out with their hands up and let the cops cuff them so they don't feel scared and tempted to "pop a cap" in someone. You can't get away with shit due to technology now. If you get tresspassed from a Vegas casino their facial recognition software knows if you walk in. They'll catch you. We need to do something because this shit is getting ridiculous. Now black people are so terrified of the police that they are going to get confused by these cops barking orders and we're going to get MORE deaths, not less. Obviously you'd think with the press they're getting they'd watch themselves but it is getting worse.
Don't you think that easy solutions would have been thought of by now by people with advanced degrees in Urban Planning, sociology, criminal justice, criminal law and the like?
I'm gonna let you blue collar workers solve what white collar workers have been attempting for many decades. And to think, it will all happen in here. Reminds me of the screwball I worked with at Tektronix. He was just sure that his high school education was just the ticket for inventing a perpetual motion machine. In fact, he said he could make lots of energy out of nothing.
See if he has figured out how to keep crippled old assholes alive for 3 more months. You might make him rich.
Seems pretty textbook police procedure when dealing with unknown multiple adult theft suspects who are fleeing the scene with unknown children, then refusing to comply with police to stop and get out of the car, endangering their children by not showing her hands which could be going for a weapon. And the guy clearly was not spreading his legs when ordered so the cop kicked them apart. They could have cooperated and discussed the situation but instead chose to run, then obstruct, and I just don't see the issue here. Courts have already concluded cops have the okay to lie, yell, berate and insult in the general course of their duty. Much millennial outrage about cops doing their job, and no outrage about the career criminal couple teaching their children to be career criminals like them.
