Yeah, go read the story. Sounds like a class A character right there. She had every reason to be afraid, our sworn officers of the law get preferential treatment. Don’t believe me, resist an unlawful arrest as you’re legally allowed to do and tell me how that ends up.
She could have used force to resist but his buddies who arrive on scene are going to pummel her face and no one will believe her.
Great how the system works isn’t it?

Because citizens should have the deck stacked against them so an officer always has the benefit of the doubt, no matter what he does.

Yup, the “War on Nouns”, it’s nothing but a giant ploy so the government can create it’s own monopoly. Prohibitions fail, period. The “War on Drugs” just means that the smugglers who go and work for the state get preferential treatment and can do the inside jobs.

Obviously this guy felt that rules were for everyone else and not him. Thankfully no one was injured and this is yet another example to add to my anointed class post.
Since he didn’t identify as an officer and he’s currently facing charges I’m putting this as an honorable mention.

Because rules are for everyone else, no one, not even the property owner can keep you out of his bar!

So we have someone turning their pants brown on account of someone walking towards a store with a “gun” in their pocket. So what happens to the store employees that don’t actually match the description?
Well I guess it’s a good thing the officers didn’t just shoot him. But it begs the question, where’s the guy with the tan pants, since you know the officer is obviously color blind.
Lets see here, the caller induced himself into a rage of PSH over what he thought was a gun. The end result, one man physically assaulted and another detained and harassed. The result of the physical assault is now a lawsuit whereby the taxpayers are going to pay out*.
The public at large, especially those who go into PSH over the sight of a firearm are not able to accurately separate real firearms from fake. Take this (the call was for a man with an AK-47 mind you), this and this for other examples. There are numerous other examples but those drive the point home.
*I am including this in the criminal count. It was an unnecessary assault based on the ramblings of a panicking individual which the officer couldn’t be bothered to see he didn’t match the description or the fact red was a store uniform. Doubly so since the report differs from witness statements and video as to their justification for force.

So he opens the gate into the yard and the two dogs come around the corner in what he claims is an aggressive manner. I know most dogs get upset with strangers but that doesn’t mean that they are going to actually bite and attack unless actually provoked. The full kicker though:
You know, maybe officers should be trained into actually thinking all the way through into determining if something is actually aggressive. If my neighbors dog gets out of his kennel and starts running at me, odds are I’m not going to shoot it. Even dogs I’m unfamiliar with, I don’t shoot them. Unless they have actually attacked something or are attempting to bite me there is no reason. Is a dog running at you scary? Yeah, but pull up your big boy pants and stare it down. Most dogs are not trained attack dogs. Yes there are reasons to shoot a damn dog, and it seems these bums are never around when it’s necessary. Even then they didn’t shoot the dog when they showed up, no it was taken to quarantine.
No this officer is just like every other officer. Oh god a dog is running towards me, kill it. The officers story would be believable if it wasn’t for all the incidents of puppycide like this, this, and this, by officers for no actual reason. Which made the following quote:
All sorts of ironic. While shooting a dog isn’t exactly a crime, this happens often enough that it is easily animal abuse. Doubly so when you also consider incidents like this or this where the dog is still living. If their dog can maul me and get away with it, maybe they should just stay the hell out of my yard, if they want to talk to me, they can call me out of my house to the gate.

Because as I’ve said before, whenever a cop shows up, a puppy has to die.
Update: I forgot to thank Ry for sending this one in.

Standard practice? See here’s the thing, it’s complete horse crap. It’s an effort to skate around the laws that cover “under color of law” when an officer does something wrong. Guess what, as an engineer I’m held responsible for my actions. Just the same a cop, no matter their position in the department should be held accountable for theirs. If you can’t take it, if you’re afraid you might make a wrong decision and can’t handle the consequences it’s quite simple, get the hell out of the kitchen.
Now it isn’t giving her free reign to commit murder while on the job.
The contract states the District “shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless” Chief Lanier
in any civil or criminal proceedings so long as she was “properly
exercising or performing her duties and responsibilities within the
scope of her employment” and “acted in good faith, did not act in a way
that violates an applicable law, and did not act in an intentionally
tortuous manner.
“Did not act in an intentionally tortuous manner.” So in other words you now must have an intent-o-meter to go after her for doing something bad.
Here’s the problem with these types of things, including qualified immunity. It is they exist specifically to prevent thinking and bringing consequences to bear on those who decide not to think things through.
I’ve said it before, but I will say it again. You know who has more of a right to go home at the end of the night to their wife and kids? Any innocent law abiding citizen. More often than not however some innocent is caught up with some cop who instead of thinking just reacts. Well the reaction results in injury or death to the innocent person.
Who is at fault for this? No it’s not the officer who committed the act. For you see that would be silly in a world where we blame inanimate objects for the actions of others. You see it was the fault of the department for improper training. No one is actually at fault. Then thanks to things like qualified immunity like that you get incidents like this.
Wait, he was never charged or convicted of a crime. They fired him, but they couldn’t prove intent. Maybe in fact that clause does allow for murder.

Because everyone who works in law enforcement should be able to work outside the law. We wouldn’t want them to have to arrest their own you know.

DeKalb County is back again, their previous incidents are here. I’ve noticed that much of the time bad actions are all within the same area. Take Seattle PD for example. This incident has holy hell written all over it.
The officer claimed he didn’t know she was pregnant, possible but doubtful, and that she came at him threateningly. The prosecutors dropped charges against the woman. It really is telling though given the following. It ends up though that Jerad Wheeler is the officer from one of the previous incidents in the count.
Considering this officer is too stupid to figure out if he’s at the right address and then threatens the home owner, is it really that surprising that he would kick a pregnant woman? I mean he’s obviously mentally deficient and heaven forbid they actually can someone who love his Authoritah!
If anyone has information on the third complaint mentioned in the article please contact me. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three or more times is enemy action. At this point he’s writing checks his ass can’t cash and obviously should not be employed in law enforcement. That just means he’ll be promoted and given more Authoritah.

Because the scowl of a pregnant woman about to pop is so fearsome it requires physical force. Doubly so if she’s crying since she’s obviously hysterical!

Because you’re a bunch of authoritarian tyrants. He has pending litigation against your department so you proceeded to harass him and threaten him. Good job fellas on costing the tax payers even more, I just wish it came out of your pocket instead of the public’s.
