I think it is bullshit that he's getting disability, but I didn't see anything in the article stating that his claim was based on mental anguish from the shooting. I think it just says they reasons for the medical retirement are not being released to the press.

Schizophrenic man calls 911 for help, gets zip tied with cops on his back pressing on him for a long time, says "you're killing me" repeatedly, police make fun of him and maintain pressure on his back. He dies. Police make fun of him more. Three cops charged. Statements made to the media which are full of lies. Charges dropped.

This is terrible and it is why we need good cops who are trained and experienced in dealing with the mentally ill. Prior to signing up for my department I spent years working in a psych ward, and it is the kind of experience I'd recommend for anyone going into law enforcement.

So is working at a psych ward what also would give you the experience not to cover up the incident? This wasn't just untrianed cops oopsing into killing a man. The city hid the video from the public for years, even after all charge were dropped and decided these cops were A-OK to go back to patrolling the street.


The issue is systemic. It's not just that the department didn't hire enough experienced and truly virtuous cops.

Working with the mentally ill is what helps you learn what to expect and how to properly deal with the mentally ill so that the situation never becomes violent, you clown. As line staff I'm never going to be in a situation where I'm orchestrating a coverup.

I don't think a smart solution to cops covering for cops after they kill someone is suggesting that we'll just make cops have to be psych ward employees before they're cops.

I was more concerned with the man being murdered by three cops who clearly didn't understand the situation, but if you want to create a dumb strawman to fight then I don't see what there is to be gained by continuing a debate with a disingenuous shitstirrer.

You're trying to imply that I'm somehow condoning their lovely behavior and the terrible coverup by multiple levels of Dallas PD because one of my solutions to the situation is to hire cops who won't kill the mentally ill at all. As if that somehow is me absolving ignorant shitheads of murder.

Yes, we all agree with that and I can guarantee that every single cop who posts on this forum is shocked by how stupid, callous, and careless those three morons were. Speaking for my department, we cover that shot constantly during training. Also if the guy did just fight police then leaving him on the ground in cuffs is stupid for so many reasons when you could be securing him in the back of the vehicle instead of high fiving each other about winning a fight 3 on 1.

I know 100% our supervisor would gently caress his world up. The only people I have to worry about are me and my guys. And funny thing is that they all have a similar mindset as I do. Do the job don't harass people. Dont go hands on if their is another option. Talking is key.

Posters like Professor Bling continually argue that because bad cops exist (and all cops are bad) people who actually give a drat, love their communities, and aren't racist, should cede control of law enforcement entirely over to nazis and the nazi-adjacent, because somehow that will make the world a better place.

None of that refutes that becoming a police officer necessarily means you are the cudgel for those regressive and racist policies. If you're not disagreeing that political forces create misguided enforcement priorities, why would you excuse someone who signs up to do that dirty work - again, even if they are doing it in the cleanest way possible on the surface? When a police department - whether at the behest of the city council or state legislature, or just on its own initiative - tells its cops to frisk a bunch of kids in minority neighborhoods, or ratchets up burglary enforcement while turning a blind eye to much more impactful white collar fraud, or rounds up piles of low level street drug offenders while allowing pharmaceutical employees to do far worse, or violently infiltrates and breaks up left leaning protests, or you name it in terms of enforcement priorities dictated by race and class rather than public safety, what possible action can an individual officer take to avoid perpetuating these things?

The city council can't just order cops to stop and frisk black kids. The chief or sheriff doesn't show up to briefings and say "today we are targeting Puerto Ricans and Cambodians". They can create laws and policies which give bad or racist officers the opportunity to harass or target minorities. Good cops still have the discretion to not do those things. Any time one of us is holding the job instead of some George Zimmerman wannabe, that's a cop who isn't going to use his discretion to harass good people.

As far as white collar fraud, that's kind of outside the purview of local departments. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see NYPD busting down doors in Wall Street and arresting bankers which have harmed communities far more than any drug dealer, but that kind of thing is more of an alphabet soup jurisdiction. I've got no clue how to begin doing forensic accounting. Get our politicians to close the revolving door between the IRS, FBI, and other white collar cop houses and the same groups they're supposed to police.

Not to mention including non-specific complaints, ex. if a general complaint comes in and all officers involved in the call are then named because they don't know who did what but it's really only about the one guy they all still get lumped together and then "connected" for the data.

I'm not saying there aren't problems, and things that need to be addressed, but this study isn't really great at providing more than a headline.

Is there a meaningful difference between (a) local politicians adopting a stop and frisk policy, then police leadership adopting stop and frisk quotas and concentrating police in minority neighborhoods and (b) just ordering them to go out and harass minorities? When voters want to crack down on drugs, elect politicians who promise to crack down on drugs by supporting police, and the leadership in those police departments then directs resources to make a show out of a bunch of arrests, which results in a bunch of people accepting felony pleas and ruining their lives, what discretion does the cop in the middle of that chain of events really have? Police are the enforcement arm of policy that contributes to systematic inequality even with the most generous possible assumptions about the actions of any individual cop.


In California quotas like that are illegal, so we can't be forced into violating the 4th amendment by our department. Quotas should be illegal everywhere.


quote:

But it doesn't have to be that way, the NYPD could be doing that. If white collar fraud and wage theft and that other sort of semi-legalized crime was a priority for politicians and police departments, they could shift their focus and build capabilities. There are plenty of state laws being broken, and the relative lack of spending at the local level on enforcing that sort of property crime instead of property crime more often committed by other types of people has a lot more to do with class and race than a genuine interest in the public good.



None of this has anything to do with an individual police officer of course. As you say, if your supervisor tells you to chase down burglaries you can't exactly going to start digging around mortgage fraud. Which again points to a systematic problem with policing that even the best of police officers can't begin to solve.


That's really not how being a line officer works anyway. You generally have a beat and respond to calls in that area. Things like white collar crime would go through a specialized unit or detective. Your sergeant doesn't just say "alright boys, today we focus on murders and ignore other crime" or "burglaries only today, boy, head to your hot spots and wait for them". You show up, get your car, turn your computer on, and just start answering calls on the list.
