mllaneza posted:Cops are trained to shoot if there's the slightest hint of a threat that they might not go home at the end of their shift. There's basically zero chance of a cop taking a risk to protect a "civilian", and they'll kill one with impunity if there's a hint of a wrong move. Also, why bother chasing someone when you can mag dump your service weapon into their back and know the police union has your back? Cause of Death: "Almost made a cop do unnecessary cardio."

Stravag posted:22lr as soon as they get hired lol. Any attempt to "downgrade" police access to "sufficiently" lethal weapons will almost assuredly come with a call for the seizure of or mandatory alterations to arms in the hands of the general populace. And as any gun owner (especially Californians and District-dwellers) will tell you right now, the best way to restrict the public's right to bear arms is by ensuring no one's able to easily or readily buy ammunition or reloading supplies. It's a Pandora's Box that's been open way too damned long and has way too much money jamming the lid ajar to ever close it. I also think that if you *only* gave cops .22LR, they're going to use their service weapons even more often than they do *now* because they'll see the smaller "wimpier" caliber as a "less lethal" alternative to what they were originally trained on.

Toshokan posted:The best part is that selecting the cops who are willing to "get a little dirty" instead of people like this straight-arrow is exactly how they ended up with one of their own on the SWAT team betraying them to the bad guy and nearly getting them killed. And they also depict the captain as some kind of politician or turncoat, but he's the one who gets rid of Jeremy Renner's character, who's basically a sociopath. Well, "David" still maintains that ~Thin Blue Line~ even though he's visibly uncomfortable with the idea of "getting a little dirty behind a street bust," too. So there's that as well. Consequences? Those are for mortals with *lesser* jobs!

“I want everyone to understand that at no point in time did we feel that this was something that we wanted not to disclose,” Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren said at a press briefing. “We are precluded from getting involved in it until that agency has completed their investigation.” Translation: "I can't tell you how loving thrilled I am that I have nothing to do with this clusterfuck right now. If you think *you're* terrified of the police, imagine having to rely on these psycho-sociopaths for local executive protection. At least with the AG running things I can  and  if she comes back with an indictment but hey, let's face it, the police department probably already destroyed any evidence that would've led to convictions by now."

She's a retired Special Education teacher and she said she could totally imagine a cop killing some of the kids she taught. It's only going to get worse, too. Autistic kids are losing the only socializing environment they had with full-week in-person classroom instruction.

Brute Squad posted:
The cops are auditioning to become the new Gestapo, and the militias and right-wing Boogs are trying out to be the new Brownshirts. All of this is a very public job interview. All of the jackasses marching in Charlottesville were telling everyone listening that they'd much rather be a tower guard in a concentration camp than a "Home Theater Expert" at Best Buy. Instead of being pissed and wanting to effect change for the better, they're pissed and want to profit through making the world worse, so long as it gets better for *them* at the expense of their least favorite "Others." The only way to keep them from doing that is to give them a more lucrative avenue and outlet for their rage and avarice and no one is going to or able (or willing) to do that right now so poo poo is going to get bad.

Loveland PD is going to end up with a Greatest Hits Anthology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XkKgH3YLJE Gotta love the bootlicking chud trying to help the cop. The several Loveland PD officers on scene then began tossing ideas around for what crime they could claim they suspected Sowl of suspected of to justify their arrest and attack on him. Most of the officers remembered to mute their cameras for this part, but one did not. They then agreed that they would all say that they suspected that Mr. Sowl had committed felony Tampering with Physical Evidence offense... for having helped to lift the bike off the injured rider.
