are blaming the victim for "resisting." If he hadn't resisted, he wouldn't have died seems to be a popular meme over there. They aren't even aware how that makes them sound. It's like it's a perfectly reasonable response.

Whenever my ex hurt me by suddenly yanking my arm, twisting my neck, etc., would say, "You wouldn't have been hurt if you hadn't been resisting me."

I just started a thread about how cops will cover for each other.

Garner was murdered, the murderous thug who killed him had several opportunities to stop murdering him, and he kept going because he firmly believes he can kill any human being he wants to kill as long as he can claim that he was in danger.

In looking at the video I was and am still puzzled why the Supervising Sgt. on the scene (on camera) did not force or object/order to stop the officers chokehold if it was against Dept. regulations. In my time on a PD in the 70's-80's I had witnessed shift supervisor Sgts physically stop patrolmans infractions of regulations. The supervisor(s), anyone that outranked the arresting officer who was standing watching the entire scene should have been included on the grand jury process for indictment. If a citizen is with a friend and the friend kills someone while the 2 are together, like a robbery/burglary etc. Both the shooter and accomplice are charged and tried for murder. Why was just the one cop attempted to be indicted ? Would have been hard not to indict the murderer doing the chokehold if 5 others were indicted as accomplices.

This is the reality that we need to consider when we're faced with "bad apples" arguments etc.

want to read this or not. Apparently you think you should decide what is posted and what isn't posted. If you think this OP violates Community Standards then submit an alert.

Since you feel so strongly why don't you discuss it in lieu of just leaving a turd?

I love sunlight.

Hence my general opinion of all cops in this country.

And did you notice most of them buy into this RWing new civil war bullshit? Cops are delusional if they believe our society is that far removed from civilization. No wonder we are getting killed and murdered by these fucking morons. I had no idea they were so fucking stupid - I am glad I went to that site to learn the truth.

Basically imo, cops have bought into their own bullshit garbage that they are perfect sentinels of civilization so you cannot question them. You must just lay down and die for them...or be beatdown and die...your choice.

Wow...had no idea cops were that fucking stupid, yay just what we need - trigger happy cops preparing for the new civil war.

This country is so fucked if the average cop is that delusional.

It's like peering into the Heart of Darkness. That's what PoliceOne is, the other half is what the worst of them have been caught doing…

Enjoy!

and if they are really cops. That site leaves no doubt and is a real eye opener. If I did not know any better, I would swear those comments came from Stormfront or some other horrible RWing craphole.

The fact that it is real cops is frightening. They really do hate all of us for no apparent reason. We are all criminals to cops.

How pathetic.

added it to my follow list.

for the most part at least in the South....they ARE!

Firemen and EMS too.....which is what I experienced. Many become so cold-hearted and jaded....I even tried to get my friend who wasn't so bad...to realize he was a Union member...how could he think like that.....He actually believed that firemen should be wearing side arms...or at least have armed guards at all times...

Delusional people with a gun are dangerous, I knew it was bad - but had no idea their mindset is that far gone from sanity and reality. That would explain why they buy into the total RWing crap of some civil war starting soon.

Thanks for at least trying to explain to your friend that he should not look at the world with such jaded eyes. He is lucky to be in such a strong union and should be thankful.

It was so scary it busted up a 30 yr friendship.....it literally frightened me to think if I needed help that is what might show up!

Wow! The crap over there! "The 'racist liberals' are to blame"... "The Justice Department = the NAACP"!... "The Associated Press = Toilet Paper" even after they printed the entire AP article in their 'news' (I suppose the police are exempt of copyright laws)... "AG Holder is tearing this country apart"... "Once again look who is throwing us under the bus and fully attacking us DEMOCRATS. The garbage liberals and the young kids who are their base."...

Do you hear this? According to these police officers the liberals, Democrats, the Justice Department, NAACP, and the young people are the enemy! Is it any wonder why such strict posting rules are enforced there? And they say that WE don't want to hear the truth!

by using the meme "If you have nothing to hide..." and yet they hide behind their secure forums on that site! So tell me, what does Mr. policeman have to hide? Bigotry? General hatred? A love to legally kill people? Transparency my a$$!

intentionally. The violence on the public is being intentionally done. The weakest victims are always the first group to be assaulted. Steroids use is probably highly encouraged, as well as regular indulgences in violent gaming. Fear and hatred of others are constantly reinforced in the work environment.

It's. We have come to expect from the gangsters with badges. Brutality and murder are their tools of the trade.

That is their final belief. It does not matter whether they are right or wrong,

the citizen has to submit to their power. That is the thinking of " I have the

power", which is the foundation of excessive force and brutality.

Where is their supposed slogan: To serve and protect? Long gone.

to the police and accept what abuse that officer wants to dish out.

should post this on their site:

And I'm an old white guy.

I'm so surprised.

Even so the self-titled "good cops" mysteriously end up siding with the degenerates every time.

They want to punish the civilians by not going after criminals proactively and basically going on strike.

The streets will be a helluva lot safer with the blue thugs gone,

If you ever had the idea that there are "good cops", a trip to any website where cops post will demonstrate exactly what they think of us civilians.

They're all fuckers.

We've all seen their think blue line stickers on their vehicles, right. They think that they represent the thin line between peaceful society and all out lawless anarchy. They are mostly power trippers who think themselves to be way more important than they are. They think they are mythical saviors of society. (note, all of these are generalities gathered from my time working within these circles and academia)

Cops stick together when they feel that one of them is being attacked by the outside world.

some of them could barely contain their hatred for the black community. It is sick that cops won't take any responsibility for their actions when they murder someone. Those cops are lucky it is cops only, the comment section would have posters in there ripping them new assholes.

Gee, 'good' cops make excuses and cover for 'bad' cops or 'stupid' cops...how reassuring.

Also I notice many of them are buying into the BS RWing garbage of a new civil war...what the FUCK is wrong with these copper tops? Are that that fucking stupid? No wonder black people are beatdown and killed so much by cops...the mindset is EXACTLY like most of us have been saying here - cops view us as scum that needs a good beatdown. We are all criminals in their eyes.

Their replies just reinforces the notion that they are racist pigs that hate civilians. I was hoping to see at least ONE comment that was sane - but evidently cops think they are entitled way above normal mortals.

If we the people did away with the police, think of how quickly those jobless thugs would resort to crime. It would be like emptying hardcore prisons. These thugs are no different.

Since our communities deal with cops after the fact, why do we need them? We should organize and protect our own communities.

That would create mayhem in the streets. As long as men are involved, the Mine is Bigger than yours will always be there. I'm not saying all women don't get off on power, but women could live in JUST women communities without violence, and with no guns a lot longer than an all male community. Without police, we would have third world communities with everyone carrying guns.

Possibly hiring younger and younger people for the job? I don't know but it seems like some act like spoiled brats and that's most likely due to they actually are.

Seriously disturbing stuff.

There was a "warning" at the top when I went there that their message board was exposed.
I think hiding behind the badge does not help communities anywhere.

Also, we need to end the war on drugs. This has led to cops thinking every person is a suspect. They think that because a person is under the influence of drugs, even when they aren't driving, should be attacked and arrested. Does that really make society better?

All of those cops that took down Garner, weren't there some real crimes where people were actually hurt that they could have worked on?

Although somewhat unfair to the porcine species.

I've been aware of that site for some time. Read much worse on there than this.
Lots of folks have been taking screen shots of the site in case they try to clean it up now that more and more people are getting aware of it.

And that whole "not a choke hold thing" is just BS. Sure, it's not meant to be. But in a heated situation, performed incorrectly etc. etc. it can become one damned quickly.

Life's not exactly like in a bad action movie where you can sneak up one someone from behind and make them pass out immediately...

spoke to a couple of em at Occupy and they called the citizens of our state disgusting names.
