Requirements,
You must be good
You must be willing to wash the feet of black lives matter.
Apply within.
Every job has it’s benefits and drawbacks. No one is forcing anyone to remain in their jobs. Law enforcement means enforcing the law. How does murdering suspects is enforcing the law? Cops have been given a large latitude in applying the law, even on questionably shootings where the benefit of doubt was always given to the cops and not made them to be accountable for their actions, but that was not enough and rather than being grateful, they have become more arrogant, more aggressive, more brutal, more cuntish.
Over the years the negative actions by the cops created disdain with the people which created a major disconnect, not only because of bad cops doing bad things, but good cops not turning them in, but instead turning a blind eye. It is no longer just few apples , but few bad orchards. Only the police can clean their own house along with their unions if they want the respect from the people who employ them and pay their salaries and benefits. They work for us and not for themselves and quite frankly, your above two posts shows contempt to us, the people whom the police officers work for. I hope I am misreading your post as to what it says between the lines.
I always believed that young new cops have good intentions in serving the people and do their job with honour and pride, but soon after they join, they become corrupted by their commanders and fellow officers, so the rot keeps expanding as it serves them well, so why change it. If it ain’t broken, don’t break it, so goes on the same old same old. Sorry my friend Max, but, if the cops do don’t start making changes from within and drain the swap of bad cops, hate for ALL cops will only get worse by the people.
This is what the police officers were doing. Until things took a turn for the worse.
The district attorney is now pressing charges against the police officers for murder.
But only a week ago, he was saying that a taser is classified as a deadly weapon according to state law.
So when you have someone assaulting a police officer, stealing a deadly weapon and using it against them, are police officers not allowed to use deadly force as well to defend themselves?
What does the law say?
According to the DA from Atlanta who brought charges against the murder of Brooks, that the policy of the police department is that the police officers are NOT allowed to shoot a fleeing suspect either with his taser or his side arm. The taser Brooks took from the officer had already been discharged twice and no longer had the ability to discharge again. Secondly, when Brooks made half a turn as he was running away was way too far from the chairing officer for the taser to be effective even if it could be used again. Thirdly, the officer knew he was not hit by the taser used by Brooks but he fired three bullets anyway, hitting Brooks twice in the back and hitting a private car with occupants with the other bullet endangering innocent citizens.
Furthermore, even if Brooks was able to use the taser against the cop who shot him, the officer had bullet proof vest on which the taser could not penetrate. Bottom line, the murdering officer violated his own department policy in shooting a suspect who was running away from him. It was the cop who was chasing him and not the other way around. The cop didn’t need to chase after Brooks as they knew who he was and where to find him. He couldn’t catch up to Brooks, so he used his gun then according to DA, he also kicked Brooks while bleeding on the ground. According to the DA, the second officer stood on Brooks body. I can’t think of thinking as if they had just shot a wild animal and were standing on top of their trophy.
Sorry Max, this officer charged with murder did not enforce the law, but instead took the law into his own hands by being the judge, jury and the executioner. Now he must face the law which the rest of us follow in the court of law.
