Nothing to do with him fucking up. He should have just manned up and said something like: Out of frustration, I rushed to judgment on this matter and spoke too soon. In hindsight, that is my bad. Instead, we get a cop-out excuse and blaming everyone else.

Re: The law enforcement thread
Why catch criminals when you can catch a snorlax?

Re: The law enforcement thread
Normally I'd agree with you Mooby but since they were not using company time to chase a Togetic but were for a Snorlax I think they are forgiven.
TBH if this was teacher that did this it would have been front page news and people would have been in a tizzy. But since it the popo they are just jovial individuals filled with mirth and whimsy meaning no harm. |

Re: The law enforcement thread
Nobody wants to talk about that Washington state trooper that just died after telling the governor to kiss his ass for the vaccine mandate?
Thought this was interesting too. Really had no idea autoerotic asphyxiation was such a threat to the LE community.

Clever Georgia deputies use fake DUI stop to lure real DUI drivers into trap
WSBTV.com News Staff Mon, March 21, 2022, 4:55 PM Deputies in south Georgia came up with a devious way of catching suspected DUI drivers, according to WGXA. Officers gathered on Highway 358 in Twiggs County on Saturday to conduct “Operation Wrong Exit.” The premise was simple: Drivers had the option to go through a fake DUI checkpoint or take the exit. The only catch? People who got off at the exit were met with the real DUI checkpoint. “Those are the ones we’re looking for ... if they choose to get off this exit, up here is actually where the checkpoint is,” Sheriff Darren Mitchum told WGXA. According to WXGA, “Those who decide to pull a fast one and exit off to avoid the checkpoint, get pulled over, prompting a search and an actual check.” Drivers who chose to risk the DUI checkpoint were in the clear. “There’s only four things that would get you arrested: if you’re driving impaired, if you have a warrant, if you have a suspended license, [or] if you are carrying drugs,” Mitchum said. Mitchum said that the department has made nearly 200 arrests since they started the operation three years ago. He said the operation has been effective in risk prevention, prosecuting violators, and increasing voluntary compliance. This year’s operation has successfully prosecuted 30 people so far. https://www.yahoo.com/news/clever-ge...205545004.html ------------------------ The Court ruled that the 1.5 percent arrest rate was sufficient to establish the checkpoint as a reasonable law enforcement technique to combat a serious public danger. The Court also held that the Michigan checkpoint policy was not sufficiently intrusive to be an unconstitutional intrusion into the liberty of the drivers stopped. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-li...considerations --------------- 4A protects against unreasonable search and seizure. Terry stops, brief detentions, were allowed when there wasnt PC but a reasonable articulable suspicion of criminal activity afoot. Of course officers have abused Terry to justify prejudice and bias against POC. Furtive movements = put his hands in his pockets, this area is a high crime area = police can arrest black people for having their hands in their pockets SCOTUS in Stitz re dui check points found a 1.5% arrest rate = cops can blanket stop and demand your papers without any reasonable articulable suspicion or PC. idk .. always seemed unconstitutional to me |

Re: The law enforcement thread
This guy can't count but still a good review of 9 (not five) bad prosecutors.
"The Five Worst Prosecutors in America In 1940, Attorney General Robert Jackson proclaimed, “While the prosecutor at his best is one of the most beneficent forces in our society, when he acts from malice or other base motives, he is one of the worst........ ....In one of the most perplexing decisions of her tumultuous tenure, Foxx decided not to charge gang members after a midday Wild West-style shootout in a crowded neighborhood, initially claiming that the legal doctrine of “mutual combat” precluded charges. Even liberal Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot denounced Foxx, stating, “We can’t live in a world where there’s no accountability.” One person was killed in the shootout and two were injured. Foxx eventually agreed to press charges, but only against one gang member, and only for the offense of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, not murder....... https://www.city-journal.org/five-wo...cutors-america |

Re: The law enforcement thread
Man, the video of cops standing around and even retreating to the sound of gun shots, some of them looking at their phones, knowing that little kids are being killed... really tough to stomach

Context matters. I'm not stupid enough to defend the LE approach in Uvalde - the "sit on your ass and wait for tactical" approach hasn't been in use since Columbine for good reason. But maybe this officer was checking his phone so he could make contact with his wife to make sure she was ok. Either way - his wife is dead so I don't feel the need to shit on him for checking his phone. I think this one falls on leadership because the leadership in place failed with their response and nobody else was willing to step up and take charge. Kids - and his wife - most likely died because they bled out while everybody was standing around. Guess the LE around the US needs to tighten up before the next one - because some of us are comfortable with the status quo and would rather innocent people die than not allow a pissed off 18 year old to buy an AR-15.
