No wonder the majority of you are weak minded babies who hate women.

Most people shout at their kids like that

Abuse?
Jeez.

[SF1900]

Really?
How do you know they are unmarked cars?

I think your memories are of Youtube videos.

Um, no, because when you live in New York City long enough, it becomes quite clear some discernible features of unmarked cars, which this man may not have known, given he was only in this country for 2 years.

Criminals are able to spot unmarked cars. They can see them from a mile way (hyperbole).

I am not a criminal.

I guess the majority of people here have never been to any city where there is a lack of police or little to no police presence and have seen the condition or state that its in.


They would do themselves a favor by educating themselves on The Broken Window Theory.

The guy was unprofessional. He was being verbally abusive. The driver, regardless of his attitude prior, shouldn't have to submit to a verbal onslaught from an officer. I think it's a positive thing that this made the news. This isn't how police should act. The Chiefs response was dead on. Any cop who watches that should cringe. It needs to stop

no point arguing with the anti police crew on here

there are millions of interactions each day between the public and the police

with very few bad incidents

but the armchair gangsters on here are too stupid not to put them all in the same bracket

its like arguing with retards

I never said ALL police are like that. When I call them "pigs" I am referring to the corrupt ones who cover for each other.

In fact, I was pulled over a few weeks ago and had a pleasant conversation with the police officer. And he let me go with a warning.

And I agree that there are many good interactions each day. However, with the advent of technology people see more and more the abusive ones, and that colors their perception.

From reading your posts in this thread, I would have never guessed you didn't mean all cops. Glad to see you don't have a thing against all cops...

fair enough

in my experience anyone that ustilises the term pigs

is not a fan of the police

i notice you didnt mention the nice interaction in any of your previous posts

just think about that for a second

Every time I have been pulled over for a minor traffic violation, the cop never acted like a dick to me.

It would be stupid to say EVERY cop is like that. I am able to realize that there is good and bad in every profession.

The issue is the amount of power that cops have that makes things like this "scary." When you go to the doctor, you expect the doctor to be nice to you, and most of all, to be really good at what he does. Like cops, doctors have a lot of power and we put trust in them. When we put faith in these institutions, we expect to be treated fairly and kindly. When cops act like dicks for no reason, than people start to change how they view them. Now, obviously there are good interactions between cops and people, however, people tend to remember the bad things that happen. What really needs to happen is an overhaul of the police system and better training.

Well, I didn't mention the good interactions because we were talking about a dickhead cop. If someone would have posted a nice story about a cop, I probably would have mentioned the good interactions with police officers. But that was not the focus of the conversation.

And might I add, in previous threads, I have mentioned my good interactions with cops.

And yes, I am not a fan at all of corrupt cops or cops who abuse their power. I suspect not even good cops are. Well, Id hope not.

When you say an overhaul of the police system, what do you mean?

Good cops hate bad cops much worse than the average citizen hates bad cops.

Fear and intimidation via, "You're with us, to you're against us." I have known police officers who have basically said this is the way it is to a great extent. Corrupt cops need to be dealt with in a better man. Every system can improve the way it runs things, from police systems to major corporations.

A bit like all the people who cover for each other on this forum?

I'm really trying to understand your recommendation for changing the system. Can you be more detailed?

I didn't say I had recommendations myself. I don't specialize in police systems. But do you think the police system is a perfect system that would not need changing, on multiple levels?  All I can say is that it would seem like the police force can use some changing. Maybe someone here would be better able to provide more detail.

I think police departments have been evolving for years. We are currently meeting on a weekly basis to form a 3, 5 and 10 yr vision for our department. Our methods and training evolves as new and better technics and technology evolve. I think the "us vs them" mentality is going the way of smoking and bell bottoms in many departments. I know in ours we focus on nieghborhood policing. We use social media to inform the public of issues that concern them. We have quarterly Commander Meetings in different areas of the city so citizens can voice their concerns or support.

The "system" has developed in this country for a couple hundred years, based on the English version early on. It has certainly had it's challenges and will continue to do so. But where I want MY department to go is forming and maintaining a partnership with the community. We can't do the job entrusted to us without the communtiies involvement. We don't want to do the job without it. It doesn't work. So when some jackass in a uniform gets blasted over the media it sets up back a bit. That isn't who and where we want to be at this point. But it's an eye opener for the departments as well. You have knuckleheads like this, you need to deal with them. So yes, we do need to improve, I think we are moving in that direction. It's kind of a slow process, especially with the media making a point to pummel people with biased reporting like the Fergusen incident.

Thats painting the issue with too broad of a brush.  Which police force needs changing?

Well, LAPD is known to be notoriously corrupt. Obviously some police systems are better than others.
