Members Reauchambeau Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 I dont know, there are alot of BLANKs in that story..Ive never seen anything remotely like that here in NYC and the whoie thing sounds pretty suspect. are you kidding, police kill innocent people here. this one came to light this week, the police said they had to use force against an armed suspect when they shot this guy. that was until a clip surfaced on youtube, now they're appologizing. it's a different world now that everyone can video on a cell phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hotcakes Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 Cops are bullies with badges, and those who disagree usually are one, used to be one, or have ties to one. Or are just one of those freaks that loves authority, so long as their good ole boy status renders them immune from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrispsullivan Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 This sort of situation and attitude from law enforcers is the norm, not the exception around here. I can't say much for other parts of the country though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ENdtime Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 What does that have to do with anything? Nothing.. And obviously he's being incredibly naive for some reason.. I doubt among most Chicagoans, whether they be law abiding citizens or crooks, you will find too many who wouldn't at least admit to cops abusing power in some way, shape or form at times.. Most have probably seen it, including myself.. And New York is an even bigger city.. The bigger the city, the more cops you have, the more chances there will be a few bad seeds in the bunch who are on power trips. Just how it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madryan Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 The culture of the department has alot to do with it. Our city dept. is fairly large and is setup like a para-military organization. Basically the LAPD model. They're fairly professional but there are some real douchebags on the force.

Members themadscientist Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 Since when is filming police officers a crime worthy of arrest? This {censored} is getting out of hand, those with power need to be held accountable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeloAngelo Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 Since when is filming police officers a crime worthy of arrest?This {censored} is getting out of hand, those with power need to be held accountable isn't it illegal like in california and other states? if it was a crime worthy of arrest, he would have arrested the guy filming when he announced he was filming, rather than just destroy the equipment.

That's actually what happens sometimes now. In IL they just upheld that you CAN film the cops (they were trying to say under wiretap laws you couldn't ) I don't know the laws in Boston, but when the equipment is destroyed and its your word v. cop, things tilt in their favor.

Members homestar_kevin Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 it's a state by state basis, but regardless cops flip out if you film them. It's supposed to be legal to film the here in MD and there have been many suits of the cops freaking out and breaking the phone, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ENdtime Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 I do think its possible that one of the AAL guys may have questioned the cop with something like"hey what's going on? or, What are you doing?".or something along those lines... I can say from experience, that never goes over well.. If it doesn't concern you, then its best to keep your mouth shut.. And, who knows, that may actually be obstructing a police investigation, or whatever it was she said the cop said.. I'm to lazy to look that up..

Members 100 watt Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 I disagree, I think the assholes are in the minority. Its like anything else in life, most people are generally good and youre bound to find a few assholes. In my experiences, older cats (well, dudes in their mid 40's & up ) are usually alright, and black cops. Black cops have always been square with me & never seem to have the "cop attitude" white dudes have (and Im white & country as they come). When I was 17, one asked me "What's that plate on your front bumper about?" (A confederate flag lic plate) . I told him that it was simply just decoration. Im Southern. That's how I was raised. It represents to me the way I live, my family, my brothers, the things we do, and how we do 'em. He just said "Good enough. Get that light fixed. Have a good day son." and went on his way. On the other hand, young cops, and small cops usually (again, in my experiences) are usually pricks. Most bigger guys will tell you that there are guys with little man syndrome. (Im 6'4 & about 210. Not exactly a big dude, but have run into little man syndrome guys ALOT. Mix little mans syndrome with a badge ..and you get an a$$hole. The young guys must have the eager rookie thing going. Maybe they mellow with experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jesse G Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 That's {censored}ed up but that {censored} is gonna happen. Fields like policework can attract whackjobs with emotional problems just like how you get that one security guard, bouncer, etc. So you end up with that bad apple who just can't control their self when wielding authority. I bet every cop, at some point in their career has a day where some abuse of authority is tempting and would feel pretty damn good, but this guy acted on it. If the story is exactly how it went down, it sounds like that guy has some serious problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members STEEL KAGE Posted June 1, 2012 Members Share Posted June 1, 2012 What does that have to do with anything? It means that I live in a large mertopolitan area like Boston and have never seen anything like that. Do you really think that there is a big difference between cops in NY and Boston or any large metropolitan area? Did you really need an explanation?
