But why would I post this under accountabiliabuddible? This text is why:
Just got back from talking to the detectives. They wanted to record my
side of the story as a witness. They asked me if I had heard them say
they were Sheriff’s, I said yes they did 2 or 3 times. They asked if I
heard them say stop resisting, I said yes I heard them 2 or 3 times.
They asked if I thought they were being too rough, I said not at all.
They asked what I had said when the girl said “he’s not resisting” and I
answered saying “I told her he is resisting twice.” They also asked if I
thought he was resisting, and I said definitely, he would have been in
custody in 2 seconds if he wasn’t.
They thanked me for being such an awesome witness and being on their
side, otherwise that girl could testify saying that he was not
resisting and hurt their case. One of them ended up with a sprained or
broken finger. They said it probably won’t go to court, but if it does
they will likely have me testify.
That’s the thing about people recording interactions with the police. I have no horse in the race. While I do run the criminal count, I would be as pleased as punch if the day came and I couldn’t get new material for it. I am more than happy to hold officers accountable, not just for their bad actions but their good ones as well.
The video in this case both corroborated the officers statement, as well as the witness statement. It was good for the officers, not bad. The only officers who would fear video like that are one’s breaking the rules on a regular basis. The bad part about breaking the rules is when the time comes you do need to do something for real, you’re liable to shoot yourself in the foot because you’re “trying to protect yourself.”
I applaud the officers for their professional conduct. It made this case clear and concise and helped prevent false claims from putting them in the count which I wouldn’t have liked.

Now, Minick’s widow and mother are filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Nashville, the Metro Police Department, sheriff’s office, the hospital and the deputies, claiming false arrest, false imprisonment, cruel and unusual punishment and inhumane treatment.
But no crime was committed, according to investigations by Metro Police, the sheriff’s department and the grand jury. They concluded that deputies used proper force in restraining a violent man in a hospital.
This is a nasty one. Why? Because honestly as we’ve seen lately people do get that violent while on drugs. It is a chaotic scene that is dynamic and while one may not intend for something to be lethal it does happen. I think in this case, it’s a very grey area where blame cannot be clearly established. So why would I include it in the count?
The answer is simple, they investigated the incident themselves. That does not bode well for the departments faith that their officers did no wrong. If they really had faith they would call in an independent third party. Am I really that wrong when the FAA and NTSB did exactly that recently?
Why not ask the state patrol, or another county to investigate the incident. It would have helped keep the whole incident on the up and up. Instead they investigated themselves, when honestly an external investigation is the only way they could have had a prayer of actually surviving.

Because that independent third party thing is never needed unless both parties involved are “anointed”.

Of course it will, because that’s what a law IS: When you pass a law, you are effectively saying “This
thing is of such momentous import that, if you do it (or don’t do it,
whichever,) we will compel you with force, and will back that force with
the guns of the state. This is something that is so important that compliance is worth, push come to shove, shooting people.“
[Seriously I wish that NYC’s soda law was all just a dumb joke, but alas it isn’t. Some moron actually feels a 44 oz soda is worth threatening and possibly killing another human being over*. I wish more people would get this through their head. Government is force and they must use force to enforce the laws. That’s the thing with laws and government. When you say, “There ought to be a law!” You’re saying, “The state should shoot that individual when he refuses to cooperate.” Please, realize new laws for petty childish crap is NOT a solution to what you think is a problem.
*While they haven’t put a gun in someone’s face yet, it is only a matter of time till it happens. If you’re willing to put a gun in someone’s face, the intent is to convey their impending mortality, whether the officer really wants to shoot or not.]

After reading the article it makes me think that the onlookers probably had reason to be upset with the officer. The officers biggest mistake was striking anyone without cause. But see, in New York, officers can assault anyone they want for any reason they want. Don’t believe me?
So in other words, your officers can commit assault with impunity unless they severely injure their victim. It’s no wonder why officers dislike people with video cameras. It helps prove assault when they don’t cause permanent injury. Too bad it doesn’t appear that the department would actually do anything about it.

Because being a cop means that when you’re in the ‘roid rage’ you can beat the hell out of and threaten whoever you want. Even a sitting a judge.*
*Note I don’t think they should get any different treatment than the rest of the general populace. However when even the judge isn’t getting traction to deal with the issue, you know there’s a serious problem.

Yup, what is the point. Other than to allow molesters, thieves, and other criminals have their way under state protection. It figures that the idiots in charge would fire the people who had no interest in molesting, assaulting, or stealing from their fellow citizens.
Because when an agent of the state doesn’t molest a small 8 year old boy, you know something is horribly wrong with the system and someone needs to be fired!
