IN NEW ORLEANS? Maybe wherever you worked was just as crooked - fill us poor stupid citizens in.
I'll let the rest of your posts present your position on police responsibility.
Please remind us all - exactly what CRIMES were ANY of these people resisting arrest for?
And anyone who uses his badge to beat up and intimidate innocents should get what's coming to him.
Did you answer my question? Have you ever been there? Or do you think your badge will get you out of having a discussion of criminal police behaviour?
Are you actually describing those police thugs as men?
Very recently I was pulled over by local PD (in La. near NO) for not coming to a complete stop at a set of RR tracks.
Admittedly, a pretty petty offense right...?
I step out of my vehicle with paperwork in hand, both hands in plain view at my side and walk towards the two officers, smoking a cigarette.
Driver barks out- "Stop right there sir", radios central dispatch from his shoulder mounted radio something or other as if he had a "troublemaker" on his hands.
Driver again barks out- "Put out the cigarette sir"
Second officer walks up to me and checks my paperwork, I lean on my own vehicle and put my hands in my pockets.
Driver barks again- "Take your hands out of your pockets NOW sir"...
Radio dispatch returns with message, some numbered code that means to "let me go" due to the fact that I'd have the problem resolved anyway due to my relations with my local municipalities (I repair all city vehicles including police cars with transmission related breakdowns)...
Moral is- I could have been a smart a$$ but I followed each command of a very rude, but also clear police officer and avoided an potentially escalated situation.
