Some Insight Into What Cops In My Area Are Like

Same reason you don't tell me I'm pretty.

I'm sorry, darling. I did not mean to neglect you and hurt your tender feelings. Here, let me mop your tears and make it up to you with going out to eat at your favorite restaurant, going to the movie you've sighed about seeing and presenting you with a dozen long stemmed red roses.

Don't think that dinner & a movie means you'll get lucky.

Cops make up law as they go.
They also ignore existing laws limiting their behavior.
This is just a little west of me off I-94.
It's a very entertaining video.

That's just how police are in the US. Law enforcement jobs select for authoritarian and social dominant personalities, and any pre-hire screening that's done does not seem to address this.

I say that we need fewer better cops.
With the power they're given, education should be
at least as long & dedicated as for engineers or
doctors. And selection criteria should limit the
profession to only those capable of handling the
stress & abuse with equanimity & competence.

This would be achievable without increasing costs.
Costs could even decrease, if one includes such
things as payouts from lawsuits, & the damage
done to people they've abused or murdered.
Most of the problem appears to be with drivers
& passengers of cars. Minor traffic violations are
quite amenable to being automated.

Cops are particularly prone to drunk driving because
of the perception that they're above the law.
Every car operated by a cop, either personal or
on the job should be fitted with equipment to detect
DUI, & shut down if the driver is deemed unsafe.

Body cams only record.

I've discovered that body cams are unreliable because
of problems with cops turning them off, obscuring them,
deleting footage, labeling it in a manner that hides it from
searches, & classifying it in a manner that causes automatic
deletion in a short time.
So it's important for us all to record interactions with
cops if we suspect any possibility it could go south.

Some cops will tell you recording them or people they're
dealing with isn't legal. They're wrong in all states.

Some have expressed the idea that people charged
with a crime are likely guilty. Cops are often incompetent.
Here is a guy arrested for crystal meth in his car.
It was actually Krispy Kreme donut glaze.
Odd....one might think cops would recognize donut glaze.
They can't even get that right.

Detroit is full of crooked cops. They regularly get
arrested for various thefts, drug crimes, bribes, etc.
Former Detroit cop pleads guilty to taking bribes from tower

Here is a fascinating video of how they tried to
steal some fancy cars...

 

[Revoltingest]

There's a very interesting ongoing case in Detroit.
A brutal racist cop who was recommended for
termination by a disciplinary sergeant. Instead,
his commanding officer dismissed the case which
lead to the termination decision. Then the Board
of Police Commissioners approved his promotion.
What's particularly insightful to policing is that this
board is mostly blacks promoting this cop with a
record of racist & abusive treatment of blacks.

This is a longish but fascinating video showing how cops believe
they're above the law, & expect preferential treatment from other
cops. Even when this one is arrested for a DUI, he's still treated
better than a civilian would be. Notice the perp's behavior as he
resists arrest. It's incredible that such an immature & irresponsible
person could not only be a cop, but rank rather high.
Revoltistan is in Washtenaw County, where this cop is a lieutenant.

What are cops? I think the last time we had cops invade the village was 6 or 7 years ago when someone stole the ATM

No, I'm wrong, we had a couple here August 2017 to break up a drunken brawl at the village fete.

Sounds almost like a better
place to live than Detroit.

We do have a couple who spent their working life in Detroit and they assure me it is a much, much better place to live than Detroit.

There ya go, first hand experience given to you second hand

I'm sure it's better for some.
But your village would be too long a commute from places I want to go.

Not my problem. In fact much better only having 1 Scottish guy in the village, you know what happens when you get a group of Scott's together... The police have to be called and we wouldn't want that.

Imagine what Scotland must be like....with Scottish cops!

No problems at home, its when they get out of the country that all hell breaks loose. Im guessing it's the lack of proper haggis.

American cops vary widely in training, pre-hire qualifications and screening, and they're just about all poorly paid; not at all like the well paid, well trained, well screened professionals you see in some European countries.

In the US we tend to get poorly trained, working class, authoritarian, social dominants -- of questionable moral character.

Are there bad cops..Yes
Do they out number the good cops...No
Should we judge them all based on a few....No
