Jobs?

How about freedom?

Cops are getting charged with crimes for trying to protect the public. Any miscalculation and the
Officer will be indicted.

Jobs are secondary. Once in prison they are marked for death.

I think they should all catch the blue flu for a month and let the law of the jungle rule.

What does he expect when the brain trust there is re-opening five-year old beefs?

I live in a city on the outskirts of Chicago.

Our PD wanted the bodycams. For their own protection the police wanted them.

The city council bid them out at around $65,000 each... Said it was too much, not in the budget and ended the discussion.

One of the groups I belong to began a fundraiser to buy them Go-Pro’s (I think around $300 each for the camera and accessory package). We raised enough to buy 15 of them, the officers that use them love them. We are starting another fund-raiser soon to buy another 30 this time around.

The video’s go to a private server, and that is causing some head-ache, because the police are not struggling with the notion that the video is their property, while the police want the video to be their property because the PD nor the city council own the camera’s.

This may end up in a court, as there is talk of the city council prohibiting the cameras. One member on the city council is pushing the idea that a cop cannot record a civilian without a wire-tap warrant or something like that.

I am not intimately familiar with all the workings (not enough to get into more than just glossy details), but was just commenting on both the extreme cost that the city council got for a bid, and the resistance from not the officers but the bureaucrats.

Exactly what me and my partner did on the CPD. We worked 6pm - 2am in a very high crime area. We walked into the watch commanders office gave him our star and quit.

We went to Edgar Wis and bought a dairy farm. 60 head of Holstein milkers. Was real mental therapy. Both of us were on the job for six years. Started just after the king Riots.

Crazy. You just want to let the animals go at it on their own after a while.

If I was a Chicago cop, I would not bother investigating any homicide of a gang member, unless innocent bystanders were injured.

Back when Black Lives Matter and fellow travelers were burning down Ferguson and Baltimore, it was a different tune. The arsonists were saying they wanted the police to leave and they'd police their neighborhoods themselves.

oops

All of this is just as Alinsky hoped it would be. Bravo, Dick.

Most cops I know already have PRD’s. (personal recording devices). They just won’t admit it. They are not the quality of Go-Pro’s, but they are very useful for obtaining accurate statements from individuals which they can later review.

There is more than one way to look at this. Perhaps, the root of the problem will finally realize that it is, actually, the problem. That’s not likely, but meanwhile, law enforcement is understandably protecting itself from losing lives and livelihoods of decent people just doing their jobs. If the thugs don’t want police interference in their communities, so be it. If they want to be the law, then let them handle the consequences.

So they’re finally realizing that when they make mistakes there are consequences. That’s a start.

Shirt pocket pen. You click the pen button and you get four hours of video in a field of view of what you are facing. Audio too. It connects with a USB cable to transfer to a computer or flash drive device. I got mine at a retail security cop shop store. You can get them on the internet.
