OMG. That girl looks like a sweetheart
Sovereign immunity. Followed procedure. To make an omelet you have to break a few eggs.
Am I missing any?
Oh yeah, over 70 in a 25 zone. It’s illegal when we do it. As is vehicular homicide.
“I responded with something like: ‘She’s 26 years old, what value is there, who cares,'” Auderer stated.“I intended the comment as a mockery of lawyers – I was imitating what a lawyer tasked with negotiating the case would be saying and being sarcastic to express that they shouldn’t be coming up with crazy arguments to minimize the payment.”
You can choose to not believe him but it changes the context completely.
Regardless of what Officer Auderer was actually giggling about on the phone and how well he typically performs his duties... his career is most likely over. It is too bad he couldn’t have scored higher on the firefighter civil service exam. We never had to worry about body cams recording the idiotic remarks we made after fishing the corpses of people who had dead for 6 months out of the water, or after performing CPR on someone who had been shot 5 times, or other awful situations we found ourselves in the middle of.
My point is that people make stupid remarks and laugh at idiotically and inappropriately after they have been in stressful situations. Some of us are better at keeping our mouths shut, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the big mouths were not good at their jobs.
You really need to assume that every call is being recorded because it is. If you are a government worker a any level your calls are being recorded by the outfit that employs you. Everybody else’s calls go to the NSA at least.
Hope Antifa handles the cop.
Worse than what the cop said, is that it's difficult to have a private conversations anymore. Someone's always recording, hoping to capture something that can go viral.
Dark humor is a way to deflect the pain and stress of hard jobs. Whether it is guys tree cutting on sides of roads or riggers over the ocean platforms.
In emergency rooms across the US there were trophy boards that held interesting and often large items removed from various orifices presenting in the department over time. Not identified by patient. Not in a patient area. Just there to remind staff ruefully of the irrationality of humans. No longer permitted.
Wow this thread is a real magnet for all the cop butt-lickers.
Didn’t know was being recorded?!
Well, if departments like them stupid, his got their wish.
Hearing only one side of a telephone conversation and reaching a conclusion is fool’s gold.
Try it some time. In a public setting listen to someone talking on their phone. Imagine them to be a serial killer, a secret agent spy, a drug dealer, a Nazi sympathizer, etc.
See if any of those change your mind about that person’s one sided conversation.
It’s a fun game. It’s also a dangerous one.
EC
His remarks are only callous if he intend them for public consumption. Gallows humor etc.
“ were taken out of context during a private call he didn’t know was being recorded by his department-issued body camera.”
Then he’s too stupid to be a cop.
