Bitten by a Camera

[circmand]

It sounds like you make it worse. And as far as watching what they do on cops, what do you expect after they do not cooperate and the cops had to chase them on foot for ten blocks. Or they were just in a high speed chase because they are stupid and think they can flee and escape. If you try to run then you are going to get treated differently. I am not saying all cops are fair and honest, but you make it worse by not cooperating. shawn

Is for the to behave responsibily. But you make my point, they make some fat *** cop run 10 blocks and they have no problem beating the guy up and we ordinary citizens are supposed to accept that. What is all the training for? The ones I have seen lately the people are not even running it was an undercover drug sting over a nickle bag. They bust down the door yelling at the top of their lungs to get down the guy starts sitting down but this is not enough for the dozen heavily armed cops with bullet proof vests and automatic weapons against a guy weighing 120 pounds who is not armed they pull him up from sitting down and slam him face first into the floor. Videos have shown this one cop strangling an EMT on the scene for helping an accident victim and yelling athim. Other cops have to pull him off yet the police union is fighting for his right to stay a cop. Lets also consider the hundreds of millions of dollars the city of LA has to pay each year for cops abusing their authority. Hey anybody remember Rodney King. Or how about the 50s and 60s when cops were often paid to violently break up civil protests against unions and civil rights. If no one had stood up for the cops we would still have blacks being 2nd class citizens and have very few rights in the work place. Do not confuse the real life cops with what they are supposed to be.

Is for the to behave responsibily...

First I should say that I'm proceeding on the assumption that you meant "them", meaning the police or any other security personnel being referred to.

As far as that goes though, we have to remember the steps in which things occur. You ask that security and law enforcement behave responsibly, but a person would never have to worry about "them" behaving responsibly if the person had been behaving responsibly himself in the first place. If that person had been behaving responsibly, they probably wouldn't have encountered the police, etc. to begin with.

If you are going to keep conveniently leaving out the fact that a person having an encounter with a member of any sort of law enforcement in most cases (not all, but most) probably meant that that person was doing something they shouldn't have been doing, then you are back to promoting the idea that it's ok to simply place blame elsewhere instead of admitting personal fault, and accepting responsibility for your own actions and choices.

And while admittedly some of the incidents you've sited sound as if law enforcement in those cases over-reacted, how can anyone reading the examples you provide reach an objective conclusion to those examples without knowing the full context of each situation? Like psychos2 said, no one is saying that all cops are fair and honest, but to assume that all cops are all bad isn't fair or honest either.

How we keep getting from traffic cameras to subjects like this is still a puzzle though.

My answer would be YES the criminal deserved it. The reason they are being the way they are is because that ***hole just robbed a store or sold drugs to some 16 year old kid or they ran when the cop tried to stop them or they just raped someone or they have a warrant because they didn't appear in court last time they broke the law ETC ETC ETC. These people are supposed to have rights? I think they should have no rights. I think that states should be more like Texas. Or be like other countries , you steal from someone you get your hand chopped off. It all starts when you break the law ,It gets worse when you make it worse. Do you really think that a cop should not give you a ticket because all cops are bad? You should be able to break the law because___________ . Please fill in the blank because I am curious as to why. It is probably because the laws do not apply to you because everyone breaks them so if you get caught you should be let go. Or because you saw someone run tha stop sign yesterday so you should be able to because he didn't get caught so the cop should let you go.

Well,that sort of situations all are extreme.

I don't believe that a cop,because a robber tried to runaway should be beaten.I say so because when a cop beats a criminal the cop is also commiting a crime.

We all know that many criminals has commited horrible crimes,crimes that blows our imagination,1rst though is that the criminal should be punish by the most severe way,but again,there's when society cross the thin line between applying the law & justifying a horrible punishment that deep in our hearts we all knows it is not the right way to go.

I personally don't justify the fact that if a citizen runs thru stop sign you also go ahead & do it.

Not because another driver gets away without been caught running a traffic light you should go ahead & run it too.

But it's not acceptable under any circunstances that a cop,because he represents the law shall go ahead & kill by rage,lack of common sense during a police action or believes he can get away from wrong proceedures because the union's there to support him,the union's job is not to dismiss any PO wrongfully action.

A guy that runs away from the cops & then surrenders should not be treated the way how many times police officers does which is to have a whole precint dropping their heavy bodies over one single guy like trainning for a football match because the guy decided to run,it's wrong & looks pretty awfull.

Here in NYC a guy with mental issues was actually killed by teasing gun while he was walking over the edge of a roof & felt because the police officers that responded to the call didn't had enough pacience to deal with the guy in that particular situation.
In many ocasion PO's shows how vulnerable they are as human beings,they reacts as one & perfom as one when they can't gain quick control of situations.

However we all should thank those police officers that gives their life to protect & serve,they deserve our respect & gratitude,I can remember few weeks ago there was a broke traffic light @ a very busy intersection,the young police officer controling the traffic flow was standing there in the middle of the road pounded by the 93 degrees of humid summer heat;I was heading to the supermarket to have grab a quick lunch & remember him,i took an extra $ 1,25 out of my pocket & bought a bottle of water,when i approached the intercection where this officer was i told him: officer,wanna share this with you.

The officer was suprised,but showed me his "Thank you" gesture with a shy smile,then saw my uniform & gave me a thumb up.Now,whenever we catch up on the streets he briefly turns on the strobe lights & two honks to say hi.

I have meet great police officers during my job as a security supervisor & develope friendship with many of them.
