Appreciate you keeping this abuse/lack of punishment up on the net and posting on the lack of accountability!
Checking yesterday the only updated news I could find on this was dated 9/25 - and it was about the police union complaining about the "premature release" of body cam footage being inappropriate and demoralizing? WTF? Yeah right.
I fear they will simply wait it out and after things have quieted down, Payne and Tracy will be returned to duty, all pay restored, ridiculous pensions restored with a directive to continue jack-booted thuggery - just make sure all cams are off.
My uncle was with NVHP up in Reno. He retired many years ago but he told me then that your chances of being treated professionally & legally during an interaction with a cop was 15-20% at best, and this was back in the 90's. I doubt the percentages have improved.
I am frustrated because if this behavior is not severely punished, then the message sent is, step it up guys, we rule the serfs with impunity.
You're doing your part, suggestions on what us serfs can do to make sure the "gubmint" knows this isn't going away? I have contacted the police department there and the local paper. Not surprisingly, no response other than a canned one. But I don't live there so I am sure that they don't care.
I am not anti-cop and I get that they deal with the less than stellar members of our society, but that's the job. The bill of rights still apply and the standards for brandishing/pointing your weapon, discharging your weapon, wounding or killing someone should be the same as those applied to us serfs. Stop - do not pass go. If cops don't like it get another job. My blue line concerns are zero until they get a clue.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.
