Vorg Posted April 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Despite their role as public servants, the men and women who swear an oath to keep communities safe can generally avoid public scrutiny for their misdeeds. The records of their misconduct are filed away, rarely seen by anyone outside their departments. Police unions and their political allies have worked to put special protections in place ensuring some records are shielded from public view, or even destroyed. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/we-found-85000-cops-whove-been-investigated-for-misconduct-now-you-can-read-their-records/ar-BBWgqVY?li=BBnb7Kz And for me this is not a slam on law enforcement, but accountability. For those who wear a badge honorably, well done, but for those that don't, you are a blot on your entire profession. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted April 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) i've been saying it for years police unions protect their criminals. a friend of mine was ran over and killed by a off duty cop, he left the scene, was doing 60 in 30 zone, yet somehow he was found not guilty Edited April 25, 2019 by aztek 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted April 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Actually, one could argue that this is favorable to police. Of the 85,000 investigated, 30,000 have been banned from the profession. That's over 35%. Being that some of the 85,000 would be cleared justifiably, and others would be found to not be a job losing offense, this isn't as bad as I would have thought. Of course the unions will protect their own. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorg Posted April 25, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) There are people that believe you should do whatever a Police Officer tells you to period. And this is what feeds the bad ones. They violate your rights by demanding you to ID yourself, and you ask "Based on what reasonable articulate suspicion am I being asked to ID myself?" In some states it is legal for a Police Officer to demand ID without that suspicion, however a lot of this occurs in states that it is not legal for an Officer to demand, rather than ask you to ID yourself. YouTube is full of videos of people standing up for their rights when asked to ID themselves and the Officer tells them they will "make up" charges, arrest them. Or they call for backup, and the backup Officers say "Charge him with obstruction." Then they get to the station and realize that they cannot arrest on that charge alone, so they "make up charges" ID him, (their original request) then drop all charges. So being thugs they ID you. This should be an eye opener. For merely asking for a complaint form watch what happens in multiple Departments.

This is actually a good program that more communities might be better off implementing. And if there was a hiring freeze going on at the time, then perhaps the donations they received for the program made it possible to lift them to improve the department. Or perhaps a diverse police force is better than a non diverse one. Based on the information provided I'm having trouble seeing how anyone could have an issue with this.

aztek Posted April 26, 2019 #22 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) writing complaint to police dept will get you nowhere even a complaint to IA is almost always useless, you can be sure that whoever takes complaint will inform officer, and retaliation is very likely. if not certain, one needs to have a video, or other documented proof, upload to you tube, multiple social media sites, even dept FB page. nowadays all police dept have their pages, and write\send evidence to city hall, news agencies, civilian oversight unit, there will be no use to talk to a desk sergeant with god complex. the best way to deal with a badge is to have a bigger badge on your side Edited April 26, 2019 by aztek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have it on tape, well, good luck giving your word against someone wearing a badge. And I could keep posting video after video of such things, but I won't, however Youtube is full of them and they get downright infuriating to watch at times.
