Re: What's up with the cops these days?
There are so many examples of this kind of thing happening ( The Free Thought Project) you begin to wonder what was going on before personal surveillance was available through the use of cell phones.
Back in the day in London the Metropolitan Police would give us an option of getting a kicking in the back of a Van or being arrested. I always chose the former and just took my lumps, because I took responsibility for my misbehavior (terrace violence) and it was mostly an inconvenience. They'd drive about 5 miles from the ground so you it would take enough time that you'd miss all the fun. Those cops had a standard and an honor that I don't think exists today. Too much cynicism on both sides. |

This Guy Has Been Stopped 14 Times By Cops, For Nothing. He Finally Had Enough. | The Free Thought Project
Always helps when people are informed. Stopped 14 times is pretty ridiculous.

Texas officer who shot armed 93-year-old fired
If you read the article the woman's own nephew said she armed herself in a fit of rage over being denied a driver's license and fired two shots before she was killed. I think they fired the cop to appease the angry mob. I think the cop is right in this case and got screwed. |

Town's white police official calls Obama N-word
WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) — A police commissioner in a predominantly white New Hampshire town says he won't apologize for calling President Barack Obama the N-word, and he sat with his arms crossed while angry residents at a meeting called for his resignation on Thursday. Wolfeboro Police Commissioner Robert Copeland, who's 82 and white, has acknowledged in an email to his fellow police commissioners he used the racial slur in describing Obama. Town resident Jane O'Toole, who moved to Wolfeboro four months ago, said she overheard Copeland say the slur at a restaurant in March and wrote to the town manager about it. Copeland, in an email to her, acknowledged using the slur in referring to the president and said he will not apologize. "I believe I did use the 'N' word in reference to the current occupant of the Whitehouse," Copeland said in the email to his fellow police commissioners, part of which he forwarded to O'Toole. "For this, I do not apologize — he meets and exceeds my criteria for such." Wow..... |
