The first half of this video simply shows another badged lying sack-of-shit @$$hole who desperately needs to be unemployed, prosecuted, and imprisoned.
Which is about as rare in this country as grass lawns.
I can count half a dozen felonies and misdemeanors Officer Jackboots committed in a few minutes, and there's no reason why he hasn't been fired and frog-marched to jail, already, except for institutionalized corruption and brazen bureaucratic stonewalling of the obvious.
Sleep tight, America. Officer Douchebadge is on the case.
Some years back, I got ticketed for flashing my lights to warn oncoming cars that there was a speed trap not far behind me. Another fuzzy-wuzzy saw this and pulled me over. He threatened to charge me with obstruction of justice, until he saw the sticker for my client on my windshield(DoD, a certain facility) He gave me a ticket for improper lane change, and because the fine was less than an hour's pay, I elected to pay it and not have to take time off from work. Nowadays I would have challenged the ticket on general principles...
ReplyDeleteAnd the cops wonder why the ACAB meme is so popular, even among white collar types?
It isn't that this happened at all that bothers me so much.
ReplyDeleteIt's the effortless pathological ease with which Ofcr. Douchie lies, knowing both his own car cam and body cam are going to be available to prove his obvious whoppers, and the fact that Douchie is already a known @$$hole with a history of questionable official behavior, and yet still employed, indicating that the agency doesn't GAF about his activities either.
This situation ends in blood, because nothing else gets their attention. And the 99% out there like this guy, or who look the other way when they see it, give the 1% decent cops a bad name.
Cliches come about because they are overwhelmingly true. Yes, one bad apple does spoil the whole barrel. And if you knew about the one bad apple and did nothing, YOU are a bad apple too.
DeleteThis. If a citizen knows about a crime and doesn't report it, they get prosecuted. Police are civilians; they should get prosecuted like it.
DeleteLawsuit incoming. Awful.
ReplyDeleteWe had an incident a few years back of a cop that was called onto a rage party and he just kind of lost it. Arrested several people who were just standing around. The investigation that was conducted pretty much gave the entire watch command a black eye. Come to find out the officer had been called out for three separate suicide attempts that day and lost two of them. The dick watch commander sent him out anyway when it was against department policy.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that many times the stupidity starts at the top more than we would care to imagine.
When the Earth was young, I played tournament chess, and had a USCF rating in the 1800s for a while. At some of the Saturday tourneys, a local cop showed up and played. If any of us teens beat him, he'd threaten us afterwards with juvenile delinquency(this was the late 1960s and thru the mid-1970s). He didn't pull this with the adults, only the junior and high school players. It was my first exposure to the Orcifer Natzo-Friendly type, and sadly not the last.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tucanae above about stupidity starts at the top, but I would combine that with the thuggishness of the rank and file. Vigilantism, here we come!
and some people think these people will come to our rescue when the time comes.
ReplyDeletethey will eagerly follow orders. they will march every single one of us into the cattle cars to protect their pensions.
are there exceptions? sure..jared from the youtube channel "guns and gadgets" is one example. but they're few and far between.
They are the orcs in the story, not the elves.
ReplyDeleteHope this isn't too late for consideration:

50 cops for a town with a population of 250? Yoikes!
In the 90's, The Fed Supreme Court took a case where the Police Dept of some city wanted to be allowed to put an upper limit on IQ for hiring cops and cops-in-training. Their claim was that they lost money when those intelligent people got bored and quit the force before the city got it's money's worth for training costs. The court agreed with them.
ReplyDeleteSo, you wonder why cops have gotten really bad? This is a factor. Realize that the cops that got hired under that hire-the-handicapped program are now, 20+ years later, in charge of the cop shop. It may not be universal, but you can be sure that any Democrat enclave will surely be a model for this.
Also, about the same time, those Dem enclaves decided that it would be a good thing to prohibit hiring any cop applicants that had a documented history of private gun ownership, training, or were raised in a gun owning family. Think about the downstream effects of having an across the board lack of knowledge or experience in guns in the typical badge toter. Who do you think they looked for when filling spots in SWAT, just for starters?
