Man, I lurk on those more than anything. I like to find out about jobs that open though or correct dummies when necessary.

Is it true the police hate black people???????

8/22/2014 8:43:42 PM

Do black people cause an inordinate amount of trouble?

8/22/2014 8:56:59 PM

I wanna see inside the private cop forum.

why do cops draft defenses in the 2nd round? everybody knows you should wait til the 8th or 9th round

8/22/2014 10:35:28 PM

Its a union thing

Are uniformed officers prohibited or asked not to patronize certain establishments when in uniform. Obviously I would assume it would be frowned upon to be tipping strippers at the titty bar but what about the ABC store? In all my trips to the ABC store I have never seen a uniformed officer purchasing liquor. Not that I would assume that they would do it while on duty but on the way home from a shift or something. Was just wondering if it was a common sense thing, a rule, or just coincidence that I've never seen it. Just curious.

Buying alcohol in uniform would be violate common sense and most every agencies policies. I have done it (not in uniform), but gun and badge exposed and driving a police car. That being said, it was for a school I was attending.

I was watching the video and the guy that was pulled over did go back in his car awkwardly and quickly, but the cop should not have asked for his license if he did not want him to reach for it. Right?

9/25/2014 11:04:50 AM

I'm more surprised about the wal-mart shooting, the man was no threat at all

9/25/2014 11:06:33 AM

^^holy shit. i can see how he might have perceived a threat when he reached in his car so abruptly/quickly, and i can even see that he might have been inclined to draw his weapon, but to fire at him when he made no aggressive motion after coming back out of the car? and then to keep firing when his hands were straight up in the air? seems criminal to me, but i don't have a law enforcement background.

9/25/2014 11:13:24 AM

I can understand drawing one's weapon, but the guy didn't gesture aggressively, nor was he holding what could be perceived as a weapon. I don't understand firing multiple shots. I'm glad dude is alive.

I try to remember on the few occasions that I'm pulled over to already have all my documents at hand and to keep my hands in plain sight, so I can't in anyway be thought to be reaching for something. I knew a girl that would narrate what she was doing, "My registration is in my glove box. I'm going to reach for it now, ok?"

9/25/2014 11:55:27 AM

Videos like that make me glad I'm not a cop. I'm happy that I don't have to prepare for everyone I work with on a daily basis to attempt to kill me (and me potentially misinterpret their intentions and shoot them)

9/25/2014 12:37:26 PM

Seems like a bad idea to be so trigger happy at a gas station with so many bystanders too.

I"m glad no one is dead at least...

9/25/2014 12:51:33 PM

i can't listen to the audio, how many times was he shot?

"

This sums it up for me as well. When I first watched the video, I also thought the guy definitely made a quick and sort of awkward move to his car. And, of course, that in no way justifies what the cop did. But I can sorta see why the cop may have been on edge or felt the need to draw his weapon. But it was pretty clear this guy wasn't a threat as he was coming out of the car.

Very glad he seems to be ok now.

9/25/2014 1:28:23 PM

^^
seemed like 4 times.

Didn't seem too awkward to me how he turned around. The cop asks for a license, the guy kind of bobs his head like he is trying to comply very promptly, then turns around to get his stuff, and the cop almost immediately starts shooting.

It's not how I would have reacted, but the guy was really nervous, he's black in SC, and just got pulled over, he seemed to be over compensating for trying to seem compliant.

It was definitely a spastic movement to turn around, but to me, it was spastic in the sense of "Oh, he needs my license, I better get that as fast as possible" and he's shaky from adrenaline pumping from being pulled over. (I know I get that way).

Then again, I see that in hindsight, and the cop doesn't have the benefit of hindsight. Definitely feel bad for the victim though, especially when he asked "What did I do?"

9/25/2014 2:36:10 PM

^Yeah that's how saw it as well. A little panicked from being stopped (looks like he didn't even realize a cop was there so he was probably especially surprised) and just trying to comply quickly.

9/25/2014 2:53:51 PM

I will give the cop credit for immediately realizing he fucked up, checking on the guy, and calling for medical help. Only he knows why he did it, but by the audio he does sound legitimately scared, even if for nothing.

We have seen many cops in that situation busy working on a cover up, yelling stop resisting at the victim to make it more dramatic, and figuring how to fuck up/delete their dash cam.

9/25/2014 2:58:46 PM

He should have shot him in the face and then sprinkled some crack on him.

9/25/2014 3:20:01 PM

^^I would kinda, maybe agree with you if the cop hadn't fired like 4 or 5 shots. If the cop thought he saw something or somehow felt threatened and drew his weapon, maybe even fired a shot or two, before realizing this guy wasn't a threat...sure. But he fired what sounds like maybe 4 shots even with the victim backing away asking him to stop and showing he's not armed.


[Edited on September 25, 2014 at 4:18 PM. Reason : But, yeah, at least they didn't leave him there for hours like the Mike Brown thing.]

9/25/2014 4:17:17 PM

With all the press lately, I should just get out of the business.

9/25/2014 5:33:45 PM

or do the best you can to get the shitheads off the force.

9/25/2014 5:38:52 PM

Working on it. We have lost a handful in my current academy.

9/25/2014 5:44:34 PM

good, good to hear. The responsibility you guys have shouldn't be taken lightly, and shouldn't be given to dumbasses.

9/25/2014 5:48:39 PM

he still cuffed the guy as he laid on the ground bleeding

9/25/2014 8:45:35 PM

He did? wow.

9/25/2014 8:46:53 PM

it certainly sounds like he did

9/25/2014 8:47:52 PM

Well, that license could have been used to slice the cop's throat, which is why the officer first shot the guy for reaching for a dangerous weapon. I mean, we can't expect cops to be cool around people wielding throat slashing plastic cards, can we?

9/26/2014 11:38:05 AM

Trooper was charged with "assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature."

Since when is opening fire on someone assault and battery? Sounds more like attempted murder to me.

9/26/2014 12:11:35 PM

^ditto

9/26/2014 10:08:43 PM

Wonder how this would have played out if there were no video?

9/27/2014 2:17:49 AM

^ the same way it did for that Walmart crawford guy... or Michael Brown.

The cop would have claimed he was acting suspicious and cursed him out, and had something in his hand that looked like a weapon, or that he felt threatened.

9/27/2014 2:21:35 AM

This cop is not gonna get accused of police brutality.

How long did Sheriff Donnie Harrison allow deputies to falsify felony incident reports in wake county? From 2002 until 2010 deputies were allowed to falsify incident reports in relation to all felony arrests. SCOTUS has ruled that even if a cop falsifies statements on paper or reports it cannot be used against them because the cop is always given the benefit of the doubt for telling the truth. From 2002 through 2010 Donnie Harrison would allow deputies to falsify felony incident reports and then district attorney Colon Willoughby would make plea deals knowing that deputies were allowed to falsify said incident reports.

Donnie received a complaint regarding deputy misconduct and used internal affairs to cover up this conduct by determining it was a policy failure. Apparently there was not a policy in place requiring deputies to be truthful and preventing them from making knowingly false statements on incident reports so this was acceptable conduct. Any idea on how many thousand plea deals were made from falsified incident reports?

11/18/2014 9:05:49 PM

Nope. Didn't work in Wake County.

11/19/2014 5:04:29 AM

fuck the police

and fuck anyone who supports the police - they're essentially co-conspirators in the systematic abuse of our citizenry

11/19/2014 6:56:47 AM

That's not a question.

11/19/2014 7:09:45 AM

I'm curious... What are you talking about with WCSO and falsifying felony reports?

I know a few deputies, I may could ask.
