Cops can be such assh8oles, drunk with power. This is why I would never date a cop.
Well, there may be a shortage of police officers, ones like this should be fired, and sent to jail
There are police officers who go above and beyond to help the innocent.
And there are police officers who go above and beyond to abuse the innocent.
How many of the latter are there? I’d estimate maybe 10% of all officers. That’s 9.99% too much. And because those 10% are rarely disciplined, the public’s confidence in the police erodes.
That’s a bad thing all around.
Then they are pure angels of goodness who can do no wrong even if they just murdered their wife in front of the kids.
Yes, a true story. Yes. I got whined at because I thought just maybe hugs, pats on the back and sympathy was not an appropriate response. You want me to back the badge? Only when they do the right thing.
That cop needs to be prosecuted for homicide.
In ten years, most big city cops will be immigrants. Our military, too. Citizenship not required.
Unionized government employees.
It’s OK, they were “Just following Orders”...
I would ask for 20-30 years for the thugs in magic blue costumes

If the description and video is accurate 75,000 dollars is not enough! For the record I am an advocate for cops, but this was wrong. When young I was in a car wreck. I had a dislocated and broken femur pelvis with internal injuries and a severe concussion. When I regained consciousnesses I was in the hospital in ER and combative. The knocked me out with some drug. Later when I awoke in a hospital bed I was in restraints with good reason. I was young and strong and combative. It was a function of the concussion, pain and fear. I did not know where I was or what was happening so I fought. I suspect the kid in this video was totally disoriented but I saw no sign of combativeness.
There are hundreds of cases like this all over the country, as illustrated in Youtube channels like the Lackluster Channel and Audit the Audit. Makes it tough to back the Blue.
Dr. Clarissa Cole on After Hours AM April 17, 2019
(Start at 1:18:31)
Dr. Cole: He had an epiphany; he was going to become a cop!
Eric Olsen: Ha ha ha what??? Uh, so, wait a minute, he was told by a former employer, if you ever, you better never get a job where you have influence over others, an authority position, or I’ll do whatever it takes to stop you. So wouldn’t becoming a cop kinda give him the ultimate authority over people?
Dr. Cole: Well, you know, lucky for all these other people, he kept moving from county to county so they weren’t really, uh, yeah, it is the ultimate authority he was just moving around so people wouldn’t know what he was doing, and I think getting out of the teaching profession they didn’t know what he was going to do.
He eventually applied to the Broward County Police Unit; he was rejected, though, because he failed the psychological test.
Eric Olsen: Oh that’s it he’s out of the career. No career for him He’s obviously unstable…
Dr. Cole: One, you know what? One would think so, and I actually used to perform these psych tests, and oh, do I have stories! You would think that it would even, it’s supposed to, let me tell you how it’s supposed to work, it’s supposed to prevent you from getting a job as a police officer or a prison guard.
Eric Olsen: Sure.
Dr. Cole: Does that always occur?
Eric Olsen: I would hope that it does.
Dr. Cole: No, no, no, I would say 50% of the time.
Eric Olsen: What?
Dr. Cole: It’s supposed to be a be a requirement, a REQUIREMENT, if you don’t pass, if you are not psychologically fit, you are not supposed to become a police officer or a prison guard. Does that actually preclude you from becoming a police officer even as long ago as what, 2005? No, I was doing them in 2005. Half of the people I rejected still became a cop.
Eric Olsen: How does that happen? How do they get around this?
Dr. Cole: Oh God there so many ways
Eric Olsen: Is it a buddy, a dad?
Dr. Cole: My son, he’s the son of my buddy, his dad is a cop, he has to be a cop, he’s going to work in this county and we’re really understaffed, we need people, we know he failed, but it’s OK. The amount of excuses I heard to employ people.
And that’s the thing, just so the general public is aware, it’s difficult to fail, it’s difficult to fail one of these psychological…
Eric Olsen: What would cause one…
Dr. Cole: It’s not like the bar is so darned high that no one could pass, it’s nothing LIKE that, this test is just to find out is this person basically psychologically stable, are they non-sadistic, do they not have criminal or punishing tendencies or narcissistic tendencies themselves. Basically you’re trying to weed out anybody that has a like God complex; I’m judge, jury, and executioner. You want to get those people out of there. You’re trying to get people out of there that are just psychiatrically so unstable that they can’t control their emotions so, maybe some sort of bipolar thing going on or somebody that absolutely clearly has a personality disorder, like narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder. They are not
Eric Olsen: Checks and balances. Checks and balances to protect the general public from somebody that would not do well in that position.
Dr. Cole: And I was very, yeah, I was extremely, forgiving on these psychological tests even when somebody would sort of hit sort of some of those marks on the tests we would give, I would ask in interviews I would ask a ton of questions just to be very, very sure that this person was indeed failing the psychological exam, and I did not fail that many people, but the people I failed, please believe me that it was for extremely good reasons, extremely good reasons, and half of them became cops anyway.
Eric Olsen: So when they‘d leave would they go to a different state and do it?
Dr. Cole: Hah no, they would get hired by different a county, like a couple minutes over usually. Somebody knew them and “Now let’s pick them up.” “No, no, no, he has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder, you really shouldn’t hire him” and they would. And that’s exactly, I hope it’s different that was like I said, this was in 2005, it scared the heck out of me and I said I would never have a career doing that I don’t want to know that those people are becoming officers.
Eric Olsen: Tell me it’s in the minority, though, that this happens.
Dr. Cole: It’s in the minority that people fail, the majority of people passed. But those that do fail, like I said it’s for very good reason, but half of them. Half of them got picked up. So no, it’s not a minority a full 50% got hired.
Eric Olsen: That is truly a scary number out there that 50% of...
Dr. Cole: It’s a small sample, a small sample that was in a place that was economically depressed and needed officers…

See post 2 on this thread.
It applies here as well.

In NJ, we had cops kicking a man on fire after a car accident. “Trying to put out the fire,” they claimed later. That isn’t what it looked like.
How do you restrain a wandering, injured, disoriented young man after an MVA? Talking to him usually works. Recruit his less injured friends.
Failing that, two of you hook his arms while a third puts a backboard behind him, quick restraint and lower him to the ground.
We are missing the part when these cops get back to the station and high-five each other and laugh about the thud the guy’s head made when they slamed him to the ground.
The most important thing here is the ego of the cops remained fully inflated.
Wouldn’t put much faith in a media story at first facts don’t always get reported.
Media is in the anti cop pimping business like anything else they misreport about.
Very few people are fully aware of just how much police abuse of innocent people takes place every day.
Never assume the police are your friends.
Unlike most people n this thread, I actually watched the video. Something isn’t adding up. This guy looked like he was on drugs. The police believed he was high. And he did the phony George Floyd “I can’t breathe “ claim 5 times.
Looks to me they were attending to his injuries and he tried to bolt and then began fighting them. So what are the police supposed to do in cases like that?
