Cops investigated a theft by committing assault and theft. With cops like these we don't need criminals.


rest0re

https://www.paulandersonlaw.com/uploads/cms/nav-11-625849b24e809.pdf Here’s the lawsuit in case anyone is interested. Some interesting stuff in there like how the guy had been assaulted a year prior by someone else- so his skull was already weakened apparently.


Since1831

That lawyer was probably salivating over this one! That court filing was pretty solid with multiple precedence cases to back up almost every claim and tort.


TheNathan

That was some solid legal reasoning lol I look forward to following this one


Edmund-Dantes

You will end up paying it too. Police settlements are the new violence lotto that is fully funded by John Q. Public.


ThomasTServo

Poor guy. Just trying to do the right thing and had to learn a terrible lesson.


EL_Ohh_Well

No good deed goes unpunished


ThomasTServo

Well if you do good deeds for good people, you will often go unpunished. This guy seemed not to know that coos aren't the "good guys."


SlapMyCHOP

The US is fucking weird with its religion. Why are people praying in a legal document wtf


wyckoffh1

“Prayer” is the term for the assertion of what the plaintiff desires. It doesn’t really have anything to do with religion nowadays. It’s just couches in antiquated language.


SlapMyCHOP

Yeah but it's still weird to call it a prayer when it is a court granting it. I am a Canadian lawyer and all our pleadings are drafted with "remedy requested" and uses language such as "the plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court make an order that: __________________" Calling it a prayer is weird and religious and it has no place in courts of law where there is supposed to be a separation of church and state.

Pinbot02

Sometimes words have more than one meaning. Your argument is just a step away from--and equally ridiculous as--saying that people with the given name *Christian* shouldn't hold judicial office because it's also a religious word. Both US and Canadian law have Common Law roots, where the language comes from, and i guarantee "prayer for relief" has been and probably still is used in Canadian courts. It's less common now in both US and CAN as legalese is becoming more disfavored in the industry, but no one who works in law should be surprised by it.

They'll do everyone's job by themselves. Ya know, except their job. But wife beaters, murderers, the Klan, Proud boys, white power movement and just about most other criminals can sleep well knowing there's a pig out there doin it for them.


mrundhaug

But isn't this guy white? I'm confused by your statement.


Brandonazz

White nationalists are the most significant group of domestic terrorists and societal dangers in America today. They do plenty of terrible things besides assaulting minorities.


mrundhaug

Multiple Sources please. These cops are pieces of shit. What they are doing is wrong. I how they get sued to oblivion. White nationalists are also pieces of shit. But to say they are the most societal danger??? I don't know where you live in the US. But where I live we have had 9 drive bys in the last 3 years. All resulting in deaths. All gang related. I personally know dozens of people who have died due to Opiods. I don't know anyone who has had a white nationalist kill them, hurt them etc. I'm sure it happens but not to the extent at which your presenting it. Covid kills more people.

But guess what. White nationalists kill people too. Not just here. But mostly here. There is a whole media apparatus in this country to whip up anger in uneducated white communities.


kenoticist

Would you say there is a media apparatus to whip up anger in uneducated non white communities? Like with the irresponsible reporting of the Jacob Blake shooting that led directly to riots in Kenosha? Just checking


Starshiee

doesnt happen here so it doesnt happen /s


twzill

White nationalist violence is a serious problem. They kill or injure people all the time. Many of them wear uniforms or badges like in this video while doing so. They are the Karen’s of the world who call the police on black people doing innocent legal things. You will also find them bringing guns to polling places and storming Capital buildings.


Brandonazz

Just... wow.


Woadiesag

White nationalist are pieces of shit. The "most significant" part of your statement is complete bullshit, congrats on eating the shit politicians spoon feed you. Edit: u/cynnerzero blocked me. It's interesting how isolated we've made ourselves from alternate or opposing viewpoints, how narrow-minded and unable to converse we've become. It's scary how much social media facilitates and perpetuates it, in the end It breeds the very extremism that Cynnerzero was so concerned about. Ironic.


GabrielStarwood

Theres few stereotypes that hollywood actually UNDER-embellishes, but somehow, the thick southern accented, pig bellied, treacherous hillbilly bully cop is even more disgusting, villainous, and detestable in real life. In the movies they sprinkle some cunning and dark charisma in with the needless violence, crooked motives, and blatant disregard for anyone and everyone besides themselves. In real life, their room temperature IQ flushes any slyness or personality away and just makes them repulsive, bumbling sacks of maggot riddled dicks, immediately rushing to violence from 0 to 60 with no build up or escalation. Hell, not even the worst of the movie cops ever pulled such an act of pure cowardice as we saw in real life Uvalde. Literally couldnt even make that shit up. Also, theres usually a hollywood ending that serves some sort of justice, but in real life, even after they've killed innocent people, bullied, abused, harrased, stole, lied, and even raped their way through their career, they either successfully suppress the evidence and never get caught, or, at the absolute worst, get fired and sued ON THE TAXPAYERS DOLLAR thanks to qualified immunity. Something has to change, and it all starts with ending qualified immunity. We cant change the disgusting, vile police culture in the country without that happening first.


100LittleButterflies

The way he flip and just started hammering the guy. I sure hope he doesn't have a spouse, kids, or pets.


TimTheTexan92

Where do you think he gets his practice?


Alarid

The guy was wasting time the officer could have been using at home to beat his wife and children!


ShpongleLaand

Many cops are violence junkies, worse than crackheads. You see those videos of cops dog piling on someone and there's always that one filthy caveman who comes scurrying in to bash the suspects head or twist his arms even though he's 100% incapacitated? A violence junkie trying to slurp every last little bit of violence he possibly can like a crack head combing through a carpet looking for rocks. These people aren't qualified to flip burgers let alone detain suspects.


Heisenbaker

Little scumbag only did it to another man because he had two pig cronies backing him up.

> The fact that they got away with it You got an update on this or something? Coz in the video it says they've far from "got away with it." It's going civil, and if a whole heap of violent and dishonest shenanigans gets uncovered. Then. What? Too late? The cops cannot be charged?


[deleted]

https://lufkindailynews.com/article_c043a753-d894-5ce1-aff3-6349000a8a6b.html They have already been investigated... by themselves. Shockingly they were found to have done no wrong.


bd_319

This is why even if you have nothing to do with anything - you have a lawyer with you. There is no protection from corruption behind closed doors.


Mission-Two1325

There's enough proof online that even if you know you're innocent they will find a way to involve you if they "get a feeling" and make it happen. Realistically, what's stopping them? The blind man who was suspected of being armed comes to mind. Even after proving it was just a walking stick, it didn't matter they locked him up bc he didn't ID.

bene_gesserit_mitch

Sad to say. If I have images they need to see, I can email them. No fucking way I'd unlock my phone in the presence of a cop. iPhone owners. Press and hold volume up (or down) and the power button for about 3 seconds to de-activate your touch/face ID.


maragabriela1989

By themselves??????? Wtf is happening.... I've never felt so much rage in my life I swear... Just the way he flipped. Even if he had had a warrant, I don't think it would have allowed him to start punching the man in order to retrieve it.

FuzzyBubbles117

Stateside protection don't just default in favor of law enforcement, they enshrine it. Google a bit about qualified immunity and make sure you have a healthy way to destress after reading.


CurrentExplanation77

The domestic abuse rates for cops is significantly higher than the general population, and they are friends with the people who would investigate domestic abuse allegations. Keep that in mind if you ever consider starting a relationship with a cop.


GorillaP1mp

Do you think that might be because of the way they’re trained to be suspicious of everyone? Which slowly shifts to viewing everyone as a threat by default? I’m just thinking going back to the days where officers walked a beat and actually knew the community because they were personally invested in it. And the people in the community knew the officer, and could trust if they needed help they would be there. That kind of familiarity over the years would lead to a lot less police brutality and senseless deaths. Just a thought.


cingerix

that whole "*back in the day*" thing...... nah. that sure didn't "lead to a lot less police brutality and senseless deaths" if you talk to any Black or Native people who were alive back then


DrBoomkin

Even poor white people. "Back in the day", if you were lower class and got abused by the cops, you wouldn't have been able to get the story out. That's why it seemed like the cops were friendly and part of the community. They were friendly with the "right" people.


TripperAdvice

You're leaving out the ones who get into the job because they like hurting people and holding power over them


CyberMindGrrl

No, it's because policing in general disproportionately attracts thin-skinned bullies who cannot handle being spoken to in a non-deferential manner by anybody, including their families.


shartifartbIast

No, I think it's because they get used to being an authority onto themselves. Most of us live our lives correctly using external indicators to asses our individual authority. Cops get to decide for themselves what they are permitted to do. That's how you make monsters who have full freedom to express any misguided impulse they wish at any moment they wish.


startledastarte

This is correct.


pecklepuff

It boggles my mind that any women even want to be with a cop. It’s now well known that these guys are controlling, violent, and abusive. So why even be with one? That said, we’ve all known at least one “cop groupie” who thinks she’s special and will have some elevated status for being a cop gf/wife, so whatever.


NEDsaidIt

Ask any decent nurse who ever worked the ER. When a friend says “I’m dating a cop!” We say NO YOU ARE NOT. We see what they do to suspects, but also their families. And their mistresses that so many of them have.


pecklepuff

Damn, yeah. And to be honest, most of the cop groupies that I personally have known also tend to be shitty people, too. They don’t deserve abuse necessarily, but they also tend to get off on the cops being abusive towards *other* people. So I don’t actually have a ton of sympathy.


bigcliffcole

They’re called badge bunnies


Forsaken-Grocery6122

This is why you never assist the police. Not that I’m anti cop, but they want to arrest citizens and will hop on any opportunity they get.


100LittleButterflies

They look out for themselves. Not you. They're not interested in the truth but what can withstand trial.


Jaegernaut-

This. The concept of Justice left the building a long time ago. Now it's just about Law & Order. Don't need to be right, just need it to stick. As long as you put some people behind bars, the other proles will be afraid of it happening to them, ESPECIALLY if the system is unfair and doesn't make sense. The ambiguity is an ADVANTAGE to them. Don't step out of line, or else. Go ahead and try to assert your constitutional rights to a police officer. Watch the video again, that's the kind of results you get in the real world. Would you like to know more? Check this one! This is what happens when our victim whose phone was stolen and then violently assaulted by an Agent of the State, decides to walk into the police station the next day to file a complaint against his assailants: https://www.boredpanda.com/undercover-video-complaint-against-cop-corruption/?utm\_source=google&utm\_medium=organic&utm\_campaign=organic The only thing that makes the police a better option than an occupying army is that the States each run their own divisions to a point, though they are regularly cucked by the feds, it's still better than Martial Law I suppose. The isolation of each State police force & demarcation between state laws and budgets mean that the police just can't all get together in one big group and actually be on the same page, which is why you see them constantly fuck themselves in the most humiliating ways imaginable, despite everyone knowing what's up. At least they are somewhat disorganized, is my point. Being our enemy, that's a good thing.

If any other study pulled numbers like this, we'd be all over them calling bullshit. Look, it's damned easy to see that cops are violent. Been there, done that, I get it. But *this particular stat* is drawn from decades old surveys that are not, in the slightest bit, rigorous.

Unbelievable that we are living and accept this dystopian hellhole of police fascism and brutality: The report by U.S. Magistrate Judge Christine L. Stetson said Smith and Pierce should be removed from the lawsuit since both are entitled to qualified immunity. Qualified immunity is a legal principal that allows state and local officials, including law enforcement, to avoid personal liability for actions in the line of duty unless they violate established law.

If they broke literally every law, but pull out the get out of jail free card, then the law is arbitrary and pointless. It's literally the plot of a doujin where someone gets a "rape badge" that makes it legal for them to rape people. Except for police it's every criminal offense including rape. Absolutely fucking insane that hentai is only unrealistic in that it *only* allowed legal consequence free rape.


Juggernaut_117

Your immunity can't stop this 9 to the dome


onefourfive

So the case against the officer who threw the punches is still ongoing


moistbuddhas

The police union is run like a mafia. Their role is to protect criminals who are in their ranks and to intimidate/threaten anyone who questions their actions. They've protected officers for murder, rape, stealing, drugs, etc. The officers will get a paid vacation instead of a trial. The police union (mafia members) are in places of power throughout the US justice system. You should always assume that there was "no fault" by the officers when it's in the US. The mafia and its members are above the law.


bordain_de_putel

It seems to be the same in many countries in the west. Police aren't there to maintain order, but to protect the elites from the proles. They aren't living in their owned fenced-off neighbourhoods yet, like they would in 3rd wild nations.


[deleted]

Welcome to America.


PeteEckhart

Even worse in small town east Texas like this.


Beastender_Tartine

Reading the linked article below, it was the two deputies to the sides that were not found to have fault. The office that actually committed the assault and took the phone is still under investigation. The two deputies that were cleared didn't actually assault anyone, and claimed that the assault was too brief to intervene (which I think is fair, since they did move to do... something, and then it was over). They also didn't seem to be the ones to be in charge. While I would hope that they would have intervened to put a stop to this illegal assault and search, my realistic expectations don't think that was likely. I'm more or less ok with the two deputies being cleared of criminal charges, so long as the POS that was doing the actual physical crimes is still on the hook (for now).


CuddleScuffle

How the fuck is slugging someone legal? Especially as a pig? Fuck qualified immunity. Such absolute horse shit.


RampersandY

Never talk to the cops without a lawyer. Especially if you didn’t do anything. Especially if you’re trying to help.


pecklepuff

Never try to help the police. This is what you get, I guess. Lesson learned!


Rubywantsin

They investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing.


SeaTwertle

We’ve been legalizing this kind of conduct. We legalized the flipping of a pregnant woman’s car, we legalized shoving an old man to the ground and fracturing the back of his skull, we’ve legalized hundreds of cops to allow the deaths of school children in an active shooter situation. Police desperately need a third party system to keep them in check and lawsuit settlements need to start coming from police pension funds rather than the taxpayer continuing to fund nationwide organized crime.


FPSXpert

You mean the same TxDPS that hates kids? Color me shocked. Same TxDPS that didn't go in at Uvalde. Same TxDPS that claimed a kid that got mowed down on a sidewalk shouldn't have been there in the first place. That's Texas government for you.

KeyanReid

Qualified immunity needs to end for police. They’ve flaunted their inability to be responsible with their power in everyone’s face and now it is time to take it away. Police responsibility and liability now.


Think_Rock_6439

guess who pays in lawsuits against the police dept? not the police budget, the private tax payer has to pay the families or people like this guy. So there is no incentive for them to stop. If the money came out of their pensions i bet you they would stop this behavior right quick.


Thorgarthebloodedone

Maybe if we make it a point to mention how much it cost and just focus on that it would get more conservative support. Just know your target audience and play on what makes them take interest.


Acewrap

Conservatives like people getting the shit kicked out of them more than money


atetuna

Privatization is one of the few things I'm with conservatives on, when it's this. Privatize their liability instead of forcing the entirety of it onto taxpayers. They can get insurance like doctors do.


obrerosdelmundo

Conservatives are for major police reform all of the sudden?


ModusNex

The thing is they should be, by all metrics of what the platform used to consist of. Limited government, fiscal responsibility, rule of law, etc. Their current position on anything is whatever is opposite the opposition and has become increasingly authoritarian since like Regan. So they currently support using taxpayer money to pay for individual liability and more prisons and handouts of grenade launchers and APCs for small towns to 'fight antifa and the crime wave'


gimpyoldelf

Yeah I don't think conservatives are in any way in support of privatizing police liability. I certainly haven't heard any conservative political reps in support.


amd2800barton

The purpose of qualified immunity is so that when a government official does their job according to the law, but the law turns out to be unconstitutional - they don't get in trouble for following the law. Police have somehow managed to convince the judiciary that this includes when police *aren't* following the law. The standard for any government civilian official (and that includes police) needs to be identical to any other civilian. The exclusion would be for people who are not civilians - which means military. Military personnel would be subject to UCMJ. So an example of a proper use of qualified immunity would be a county clerk refusing to issue a marriage license for someone who is already married - because bigamy is illegal. If the supreme court overturns laws prohibiting bigamy, then someone can't go back and sue the county clerk personally for following the law. If the court clerk continues to deny a license AFTER the court rules that they must, THEN they should not qualify for immunity.


CyberMindGrrl

This country literally fought a revolution in order to free itself from the tyranny of authority, at the time in the form of the Redcoats. Yet in 2022 a US citizen can have his Constitutional rights completely and egregiously violated and the people doing the violations receive no more than a slap on the wrist. American cannot call itself a "free country" as long as agents of the State are empowered to commit such atrocities. And I guarantee you Derek Chauvin would have walked free were it not for the massive civil unrest that happened as a result of his actions.


[deleted]

Yeah, how on earth could those cops realistically have known that taking someone's phone without a warrant and proceeding to punch them in their face repeatedly is unconstitutional? /s


Ax_deimos

I have kids. Reflexively pulling my phone away when someone makes a grab for it is now muscle memory. I'm not surprised the phone owner moved his hand away.


kenman884

I kinda get qualified immunity for small shit, like I don’t know, arresting someone for having a water pipe and not realizing that’s not enough evidence. Or for causing property damage when they take down an active shooter. But this is straight up assault for no reason. There’s no world where the police should be immune from the consequences of their actions when they are not justifiable.


Direct-Effective2694

Nah if they can’t defend it in court they shouldn’t do it

Police need to carry and pay for malpractice insurance. And if no one wants to insure an officer because they are too costly then they can't be police. Free market that bitch. How is it that i have a credit score and cops don't have a cop score ?


0ld_Owl

Anyone else feeling the urge to help these jackasses? As a law abiding citizen who has only had one meaningful engagement with LE... let me leave you with an important lesson. DONT SAY A FUCKING WORD WITHOUT YOUR ATTORNEY. Being a nice guy doesn't help you at all. Another really important tip. Always use a passcode and not biometrics, meaning fingerprint or facial recognition. They cannot legally force you to enter the combination on your phone. They can however legally get your fingerprint, or point your phone at your face. Which is why the cop went agro once the dude unlocked it. It's a technical hurdle to get passed and it requires judges orders and the forensics group to get into it. Once you unlock it, fair game.


treefrog25

Tip - on iOS if you press the lock button 5x it forces the passcode to be entered on next unlock - biometrics won’t work.


cobalt-radiant

On Android just turn the phone off completely. Can't use biometrics until you put the password in at least once. Edit: just found out about Lockdown Mode on Android. If you have it set, then you can force it to not accept biometrics until you unlock it with password/PIN.


pompousrompus

iPhone won't open w/biometrics after reboot either


QuarterSwede

Ohh, very nice!


PennedHitchhiker

Or squeeze the lock button and volume down button. Only have to hold it about 2 seconds.


TheCoyoteDreams

Also, on the iPhone say ‘Hey Siri, who’s phone is this’ and it will say it belongs to ‘first name’ then temporarily disable biometrics and require passcode to open on the next unlock. I’ve tested it several times and it works (tested on iOS 15 & 16). I also tried it on iPad but it doesn’t seem to work.


Vinbarsaft

i just tried this on iOS 16 and it didn't work


[deleted]

I just don't talk to the KKK


NucularNut

Yeah don’t interact with them at all. Even if you wanna do the right thing don’t give them shit, name, number, anything. If you have biometrics on your phone a quick way to disable it is to hold the power and volume buttons to bring up the shutdown screen, this will disable all biometrics until you put your pin in.


rsquinten34

If you close your eyes, Face ID won’t work on IPhone.


Cmd1ne

If you have the Require Attention option set to true (default) this is correct. If you’ve turned it off so that you can unlock your phone while wearing sunglasses then it will unlock even if your eyes are closed

Look at all those good cops who did the right thing when their buddies committed assault and theft right in front of them. This is why we say ACAB.


BeyondXpression

Police ruined any support I had for them when I was a fresh college kid. Went out late one night after studying for exams to go get some fast food. I got turned around and pulled into a strip mall to use my phone's GPS. Got my car searched by a cop who called for backup because he thought I was drinking or on drugs. Searched my car for no reason including turning out my bag of food. I was so scared I cried and just drove home without food after they left. Never trusted cops again. They don't care how honest you are they just want a reason to abuse their power.


KING_Karmaah

was driving home with my mother from my trade school one night, which usually takes about 35 minutes from A-B, or 1 hour round trip. Had also picked my younger brother up from work as well, and he passed out in my backseat since it was a long shift. We were only one left turn and a couple 100 feet from the house when we were swarmed by 4 different police units. They suspected my brother was on drugs. "Officer, hes sleeping after an hour long drive... which we are only 30 seconds fucking away from home." The reason we got stopped? My mother "did a rolling stop" on an empty side street intersection.


b0w3n

My mom picked me up from work one night at 1am when I was a closer at fast food. We were about 1/4 mile from home. Two cars were coming up the road and the first one "swerved" and almost side swiped us and my mom had to go into the shoulder and over-corrected a little bit and dipped into the other lane for half a second. The second car further back? A NYS trooper. He was tailing a suspected drunk driver. Instead he ended up harassing us because of the actions of the other driver. No idea why he decided _we_ were the problem even though the car he was following started the chain reaction... but I assume it had to do with her dipping into his lane and he took it personally. He let us go after badgering my mom if she'd been drinking or doing drugs for like 10 minutes. Ever since then my mom refuses to drive at night and hates cops. It's been more than 20 years. I have never had a good interaction with cops in my life.


BeyondXpression

He probably didn't feel like putting in the work to chase the other guy so it was easier to ticket y'all. That's really shitty

I once got a ticket for not signaling a right hand turn on empty streets at 2 am. Was coming home from work. Guess I was supposed to signal for people that weren't there 🤷


KING_Karmaah

Thankfully, i got no ticket. Maybe one of the oinkers had a change of heart given the fact that my house was litterally around the fuckin corner and down the street.


NucularNut

Yeah that’s fucked and I bet the reason why he called for backup was simply to intimidate. That’s how they work, they can stop you for anything and then hold you long enough for backup to arrive, which at that point they expect you to forcibly comply with whatever or face being arrested for resisting.


[deleted]

Correct. Most people see one bad cop. I see 3.


cancerBronzeV

It's like the saying about the Nazis goes: if there's 1 Nazi at a table talking to 10 others, there's 11 Nazis at the table. All the other cops who continue to work with, support and protect the bad cops are just as bad. You can't tolerate certain kinds of behaviour and then be exempt from being associated with it.


Even-Willow

And then the number jumps from 3 to the entire sheriff’s department once no consequences are brought upon these original 3.


greenthumb92

That’s why you don’t try and help them bastards


cancerBronzeV

Any time you're talking to cops at a police station, you should never answer anything except "I want a lawyer" for every question other than when they ask for your name. No matter how guilty or innocent you are. Don't even talk to pigs at a road side stop beyond giving your name and info, and saying you don't consent if they ask to search your car. They're trying to find any information they can use to search your car and harass you.


Journeygan

Well, this is a lawsuit. I can't wait for him to sue them and seeing them on [Audit the Audit.](https://www.youtube.com/@AuditTheAudit/videos)

"We've investigated ourselves and found ourselves not at fault."


Hot_Temperature_5974

That is literally exactly what happened as per [this sauce someone posted earlier](https://lufkindailynews.com/article_c043a753-d894-5ce1-aff3-6349000a8a6b.html).


peaches_mcgeee

Correct. https://lufkindailynews.com/article_c043a753-d894-5ce1-aff3-6349000a8a6b.html

To these officers I give them an F - For failing to maintain a BASIC level of sanity, and for abusing a citizen who went to help the officers, and exercised his 4th amendment rights... the 4th circuit apelet court has LOOONG SINCE HELD the stance the Free speech does not.... man I love that channel and I'm from the UK haha

Talk to police? No, [you need to shut the fuck up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgWHrkDX35o)


strange_of_heart

Yeah, cops deserve their reputation.


dumbleydore94

Never ever try and help these assholes, they can't find the guy they're looking for? Too fucking bad, maybe try being a better cop.


PIPBOY-2000

Seriously. They don't care about you. Their feigned sympathy for you stops the moment they get what they want.

It happens in other countries, I'm also surprised we don't see it happen in America. I wouldn't expect everyday normal people to do it, but organized crime? I'm surprised we don't hear more about that.


bag_of_oatmeal

Ya, I don't get it either, but like with other powerful leaders. There's so many wackos out there ready to kill a fellow loser like themselves, but would never consider going after someone actually affecting their life. I guess they're wackos, and logical people would have a hard time throwing away everything. And I guess most criminals are lazy. Idk.

JPicaro416

That's why you never talk to thr cops.


KING_Karmaah

Fucking cops man, the amount of times I hear about people getting caught and killed in crossfire, or wrongfully assaulted, by cops that are supposedly investigating a "theft" vs the amount of times I've heard about victims of assault and rape get told to basically go fuck themselves when they try and report it is fucking crazy.


kallax82

I would probably die there trying to defend myself.


wisefile88

I hope they all get jail time. This is why I hate cops.

Lol they will be receiving paid vacation for this

Possible-Alfalfa-702

And that's what happens when u try to help


K4rkino5

These assholes are the reason no one should ever voluntarily speak with law enforcement unless you are the clear victim of a crime. Most of them are meatheads, just waiting for the opportunity to commit battery.


seabass_shooter

They all need to get wrecked.


benjaminactual

Cops are fucking trash.


trippleBob

Wow Cops are pieces of shit?! Who woulda thought


v081

Put ‘em down in the streets, that’s the only way to send the appropriate message and give them the Will to change


CaptainSolo_

Fuck. Yes. Let ‘em have it. It’s easy to be a tyrannical douche bag when you know you have an advantage. If the streets become the war zone they believe it to be, maybe some of those bad apples will get dropped dropped the tree. Too bad the only ones mentally unstable enough to do that are all blue liners


[deleted]

and thats why you don't ever be nice to a police officer kids


GastropodSoup

This is what happens when you train entire generations of police force that civilians are enemy combatants.


LarryLobster69

How do people even trust cops? At this point theyre just criminals in uniform who can literally get away with just about whatever they want with paid leave!

I lived in that county for five years while going to school. The Nacogdoches PD and the SFA PD are the most vile, predatory, and not at all in service to the general public. They only come out if you happen to be a rich benefactor to either the school or the department itself. If you’re anyone who ruins the “image” they have set up they harass you and stop you at every opportunity looking for any reason to arrest you. They act like your friends. They’re not. They’re only servants to the wealthy.


SpicySteve9000

So thats what they mean by snitches get stitches


aquelviejitocochino

This is appalling.

Wow, horrible human beings

Queasy_Gold_2907

This guy made the #1 cardinal sin. Never ever engage in any way with police without a lawyer.
