I have three close relatives that are in the PPB, all staunch die hard democrats and big union guys. We shouldn't paint with a wide brush but yeah I agree the PPB needs retrained starting at the top. The Mayor (head of police) and the DA need to step up and improve on their job as well.
The mayor needs to step up by getting rid of the asshole police. The DA did step up by eliminating the need for police to make arrests for nonviolent, non-damaging crimes (lessening the workload, allowing them more time to do real police work). Police in general seem to want the freedom to continue harassing nonviolent, non-damaging citizens without accountability, so they have revolted. Resulting in these reports of police telling people to vote better if they want police to do anything. At all. Fuck everything about that bullshit. I will say, there are good police. They need to do more to get rid of bad police. Otherwise they'll be lumped in with the assholes.
That was not the person who had eluded the police the previous day. Cop claimed the kid hit him with the car and that's why he shot. Kid hit multiple times. In serious condition at the hospital. Cop fired. Kid still charged with felony assault on a police officer.
Last I heard they charged him and have yet to drop them. Maybe that changed since yesterday. It was BS they charged him in the first place.

From your article... "Cantu was hospitalized in stable condition and initially charged with evading police and aggravated assault."
https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-texas-cop-charged-over-003107379.html The officer involved, James Brennand was charged for the shooting, after being fired. Two counts of aggravated assault. The victim Erik Cantu was initially charged with aggravated assault and evading, but the charges have been dropped. Cantu's condition is far worse than the police let on. He remains unconscious since the shooting on life support and it's not looking good.
Small town Iowa police chief charged with lying to ATF to get 90 machine guns for department with 3 officers https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/s...A15kHCP?cvid=9abb5f3807e84b6f9c67396df1e2b26a
I have seen that one. Cop flips a you-ee (how do you even spell that) and a guy who was driving behind him for some unknown reason decides it's a good idea to flash his lights at the cop as he was driving the opposite direction. Cop turns around again and speeds up behind the guy who flashed his lights. Guy starts to get over so he can stop and cop rams into the back of his car. They both pull over and the cop arrests him for "slamming on his breaks." There's a whole rage inducing video. Not sure why the guy decided to flash his lights at the cop (maybe he thought it was inappropriate how he turned around.)
I'm sorry....... the size of his unit is completely irrelevant. What POSSIBLE reason would ANY police department have for possessing an M60 machine gun? For those that maybe need a refresher
Probably limited to low capacity magazines. This way when you run out of ammo you can just throw the gun and pull out another...
You know that cop was just thinking he'd mount that sucker in the bed of his Dodge Ram in case the evil ANTIFAS show up!
