Hold on a minute. You took this one cop’s actions and held it up as an example for the entirety of modern policing. I just did the same for the fact that he was a Marine. I hope my point has been received. There are a lot of good cops out there.
“There are a lot of good cops out there.”
Yeah. They are always arresting scum like this for assault.”
THe problem is the deputy, and to some extent the culture around him that has turned him into what he is now.
There is a culture eminating from Washington D.C. and in this deputy’s case Albany (via Andrew Cuomo) about self preservation, and the sanctity of policing. Everyone is a suspect, everyone is guilty, his refusal to submit is an indicator of his guilt or so the thinking goes.
The money quote from the detainee is “ I was not even driving when ...” whatever started in incident began. As such the vehicle was not part of the investigation until the deputy demanded to search it without a warrant.
“There are a lot of good cops out there.”
So which one arrested this fat bastard for assault, violation of civil rights, etc? Not a single one of those supposedly good cops arrested this bad cop, which means none of them are good cops. They are all one the side of bad cops, which makes them also bad cops.
True...lots of them, especially the local ones
The problem is far too many think themselves junior Judge Dread that could care less about the rights of the citizen...
My middle aged 50's wife driving a Camry was pulled over by a cop for speeding, three other cops showed up, four cops to investigate...
I happen to drive by and stop to see what was going on...
I was treated like a criminal asking why was my wife pulled over...threatened with arrest if I didn't leave...
Never got an answer to why it took four cops to give a middle aged women a speeding ticket...
You’re crafty. Like all the other 94 IQ rubes with badges.
