If there were no cops.......

[Acebb]

The police detective who fatally shot an unarmed national guardsman after pulling him over on the Grand Central Parkway last October will not be charged with a crime.


A grand jury has declined to indict Detective Hassan Hamdy, who had said he thought the victim, 22-year-old Noel Polanco, was reaching for a weapon under the driver's seat as he approached the car. Polanco's passenger denied that claim, and there was no weapon in the vehicle.

Its Horrible what the police have HAD TO BECOME<,, they didnt start out this way,,, look at old movies,,, and you can see exactly how they were revered in that they knew their communities, and KNEW how to handle and deescalate problems,,,

First let me say my brother inlaw is a lieutenant, and his job is very veyr difficult,,, every single car every single person you come in contact with every single time you have to approach from a legal perspective,,, I hate that its true,,, but attys, are to blame for their approach this is true,,,
\
(remember I ddindt say that the police arent also to blame, or the PUBLIC isnt also to blame,, but the LIONS share of blame rests with the ATTYS,,, )

They are FORCED to approach every single person virtually the same way,, every single time,, this is in their HANDBOOK,,, remember,, its the attys that are to blame,,, NOT the cops,,

I went to several partys over the last 12 years (cop partys) and I can tell ya it is a fraternity, in which noone is really invited,,

so im standing in a group of6 or 7 and they are cracking jokes so I chime in and crack a funny as hell joke and it draws crickets,, and the reason I illustrate this scenario, as all 7 guys looked at me like who the fk are you? it was funny as hell but Im not included,,, noone is,,

(for those that dont know, I am a hairstylist,, It is my profession to READ PEOPLE and accommodate socially,, lol,,,)(not here lol)

its a designed mentality created to intimidate and Interrogate,,,,

blame the attys,,,

anyway,,, an end to my point,,, I love my brother in law,, hes a great guy,,, but this life has changed him,,, hes seen horriffic things that I could never describe,, and this sht will change you as a man,, as a dad,,, as a friend,,,

tough carear, i thank god I never got into,, as I just couldn't do it,,,
cheers

Tough to see any kind of civilized society not having peace officers of some sort.

Would be like Apocolypto!!

 

[Huckel]

Pretty much be the Wild West only with automatic weapons, no structure to anything gangs would take over cities immediately or kill off each other. I would guess most of society would breakdown within a week.

I'm pretty familiar with this story and cannot wait to hear how those douche bag cops try getting out of this one.....all I've heard so far is one of them was holding 'what looked to be a sharp object'.....200 yards away.

I've worked with a lot of cops over the past 10 years....95% of them are trash. They're wired different, they get off on wrecking peoples day.

New Jersey man escapes 5 year sentence after dash cam footage clears him, indicts cops<!-- Author / Post Publish Date --> By George Chidi

<!-- Tags --> <!-- Should we show DFP ads on story pages ? [ 1 ] -->Evidence from a dashboard camera on a police cruiser ended a nightmare for a New Jersey man facing false charges of eluding police, resisting arrest and assault.
Prosecutors dismissed all the criminal charges against Marcus Jeter, 30, of Bloomfield, N.J. and instead indicted two Bloomfield police officers for falsifying reports and one of them for assault after the recording surfaced showing police officers beating Jeter during a traffic stop, according to WABC of New York. A third has pleaded guilty to tampering.
Jeter’s defense attorney requested all recorded evidence, but the police failed to hand over a second tape until additional evidence surfaced of a second police car at the scene. The tape showed Jeter complying with police, even as one punched him in the head repeatedly.

Without the tape, prosecutors had been demanding a five-year prison sentence.

EXCLUSIVE: Shocking moment a Tennessee police officer choked an unresisting college student until he fell UNCONSCIOUS

By Alex Greig
Published: 13:00 EST, 27 April 2014 | Updated: 14:47 EST, 27 April 2014


A Knoxville photographer has captured a police officer on camera using what looks like excessive and unnecessary force on a college student.

The sequence of photographs show the young man complying with Knox County deputies as they lead him to a police van at the University of Tennessee, before an officer uses two hands to choke the student until he is unconscious.

The young man was arrested during a wild college party celebrating after a week of finals that spilled out onto the street on Saturday night.

Use of force: The officer begins to choke the man or activate some kind of pressure point to render him unconscious

Police were called to clear the area at the intersection of 21st and Laurel Streets in Fort Sanders, an area with a high concentration of college students.

According to photographer John Messner, some college students began to throw beer bottles at police, who called for backup from the Knox County Sheriff's office.

The student was arrested and handcuffed, then walked a block to a waiting police van at the University of Tennessee.
He went willingly and did not resist arrest, said Messner.

When they got to the police van, the arresting deputy's handcuffs were removed from the student's wrists and replaced with cuffs from the vehicle.

During the brief moment his wrists were uncuffed, the young man let his arms fall by his sides.

As two officers twist his arms behind his back, another deputy walks in front of the young man and wraps his hands around his neck.

The disturbing sequence of shots show the student losing consciousness, his knees buckling as he sinks to the ground, while the deputy continues to choke him or activate a pressure point that renders him unconscious.

The officers behind the young man fiddle with his handcuffs even as he's being choked.

When the student was unconscious, the police picked him up and the officer who choked him slapped him around the head a few times before walking off, reports the Messner.

All three officers are Knox County deputies assisting the Knoxville Police Department.

A call placed to the department seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.

In 2011, Knoxville County officers stopped a carload of teenagers and forced them to run in circles around a bat he kept in the trunk of the car.

Sherriff Jimmy 'JJ' Jones demoted the five officers involved in the incident.

Jones' action in disciplining the officers was well-received by the community. He's now up for re-election, with early voting already taking place.

what if this was your wife and kids while you were at work?? crazy stuff

 

[Cyyyyk]

Cops are at best are glorified tax collectors...... at worst they are a part of the largest armed violent gang in the US. They have no accountability to anyone and do as they please. They are essentially just an extortion syndicate. The best you can hope for is that you avoid them. If you have a problem and call the cops...... you just guaranteed that you made your problem much much worse.

If you have a real serious problem they will come and chalk off you body and then harass and threaten whatever family members you might have.

Sober driver arrested on 'trumped up DWI charges' after sheriff's deputy smashed into HER car leaving her with a broken neck

By SNEJANA FARBEROVPUBLISHED: 11:11 EST, 3 May 2014 | UPDATED: 16:02 EST, 3 May 2014




A Wisconsin woman says she was wrongly accused of driving drunk when a Milwaukee sheriff's deputy T-boned her car last year, leaving her with serious injuries and a pile of medical bills.
Tanya Weyker, 25, a jewelery designer and blogger from Milwaukee, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in connection to a February 2013 accident involving Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Deputy Joseph Quiles - even though blood tests showed that she had no alcohol or drugs in her system.
The driver's neck was broken in four places, leaving Weyker unable to perform a field sobriety test on the scene of the crash, or even blow into a Breathalyzer.

Prosecutors later declined to pursue charges against her, but the woman has spent the past year struggling to clear her name and force the county to pay her mounting medical bills, according to Fox6, which broke the story.
Deputy Quiles, who in the original accident report claimed that he came to a full stop right before the collision and saw no headlights in front of him, later admitted that he was the one who caused the crash.
However, the law enforcement agent was never held accountable for filing a false accident report. So far, his punishment has been limited to nine days' suspension for minor transgressions. ​

​

On the night of February 20, 2013, Deputy Quiles was working the night shift at General Mitchell International Airport when he pulled onto Howell Avenue, smashing into the side of Tanya Weyker's car and sending it flying into a tree.
'It was a miracle I wasn't paralyzed,' Weyker recalled the harrowing moment.

Medical complications: Chemo treatments caused Weyker's spine to curve and required doctors to insert metal rods in her back (pictured)

As a toddler, Weyker was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy, which curved her spine and required doctors to insert metal rods in her back to straighten it out. Now, the 25-year-old University of Wisconsin-Parkside student had four broken bones in her neck.Weyker was too injured to submit to field sobriety tests, but that did not stop responding sheriff's deputies from questioning her about her alcohol and drug consumption.
Weyker truthfully responded that she had a few sips from a friend's drink earlier that night and had taken Vicodin a week earlier to help with the pain from a dental procedure.
The accident report stated that Weyker's breath faintly smelled of alcohol, her eyes appeared red and glassy, and her speech was slurred.
In the end, Weyker was arrested on five DWI charges, including drunken driving causing injury.
In his report, Deputy Quiles wrote that he came to a full stop at the stop sign, looked both ways and saw no headlights - even though the lights on Weyker's Toyota Camry turn on automatically.

Web of lies: A deputy's accident reported stated that Weyker smelled of alcohol, had red, glassy eyes and slurred her words, but tests proved that she had no alcohol or drugs in her system the night of the accident



But the law enforcement agent was later forced to amend his account of the accident when a surveillance video surfaced showing Quiles' squad car rolling through the stop sign and into the side of Weyker's Camry.

When questioned about the accident 10 months later, Quiles acknowledged to internal investigators that he was at fault for the accident because he did not come to a full stop.

Aside for his brief suspension for breaking traffic laws and damaging county property, Quiles has faced no disciplinary action for his falsified report.

‘I think he was trying to protect himself and his department,’ Weyker said.

Even though she had been cleared of any wrongdoing, Weyker is still waiting for the county to foot her medical bills, which her attorney Todd Korbs says could amount to $1million.

New story: After a surveillance video surfaced showing Quiles rolling through a stop sign, the deputy admitted that he caused the crash

Keeping busy: Despite her health problems, Weyker majors in psychology at University of Wisconsin-Parkside and also has her own jewelry business

But in the best-case scenario, the 25-year-old psychology major will get no more than $250,000 because of a cap on claims filed against government agencies.
Quiles, who now appears to move around with a cane, has been on leave since the accident. He recently filed for permanent duty disability for injuries allegedly sustained in the February 2013 crash - but the accident report noted last year that he was treated for only slight injuries.
In a Facebook post written in response to the Fox6 investigation into her ordeal, Weyker added that what upset her the most about the way she was treated by sheriff's deputies was how they wouldn’t let her see her parents at the hospital.
‘The only thing I wanted at the time was my parents for comfort, but the officers refused until they paid my bail,’ she wrote.

Teen Killed After Drug-Bust Cops Restrain, Pepper-Spray Him, Shove Sharp Object Down His Throat


By Lina Batarags, Wed, May 07, 2014

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The mother of a 17-year-old boy has filed a federal lawsuit against the Huntsville Police Department claiming that officers killed the boy by tackling him to the ground, breaking his ribs, pepper-spraying him, and shoving a sharp object down his throat.


In March, the boy’s mother, Nancy Smith, filed the claim for assault and battery, wrongful death and excessive force.


The young man, whose first name is not mentioned in the lawsuit, was allegedly set up in a drug bust. When plainclothes officers – who did not identify themselves as officers – approached Smith, he fled.


An officer caught Smith and threw him to the ground, where he was cuffed, forcibly restrained and pepper-sprayed.


As described in the lawsuit, police were under the impression that the teenager had swallowed a bag of drugs. An officer who had no medical training proceeded to shove a “sharp oblong object” down Smith’s throat to locate the bag.


However, as Nancy Smith maintains in her lawsuit, “no bag was found or recovered from the scene nor was a bag found or retrieved from the hospital where Minor N.S. was treated until his death.”


The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences has released an autopsy report classifying the death of the 17-year-old boy as undetermined. The report specifies that the boy had suffered blunt force injuries and suggested asphyxiation as a probable cause of death; it also noted that nothing unusual had been found in his stomach.


Because Smith’s blood samples were discarded and were never tested, the autopsy report could not definitively rule out the possibility that he died of a drug overdose.


Although the incident occurred a year ago, local reporters were unable to obtain the autopsy report for months.


The Huntsville Police Department has declined to comment on the case.

It is easy to cherry pick the bad cop stories but how many countless lives and communities have been protected from the bad criminals by the peace officer.

I think it is a land slide that having them is better than not having them - however, like in any large groups or association, your going to have some bad apples.

BOYNTON BEACH, FL (AP) - Boynton Beach police are investigating after a video surfaced of one of their officers kicking a child's legs from under him while the child's hands appear to be restrained behind his back (watch here).


Police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said one officer has been placed on administrative duty after the footage was found online Tuesday. It's unclear what the child was being charged with. Slater said she could provide no further details because the incident was under investigation by the internal affairs section.


The video shows two boys apparently being arrested. An officer approaches one and appears to kick him, causing the boy to fall to the ground. Slater says no formal complaints have been filed over the incident but police are "concerned as to the initial appearance of the video."


Boynton Beach police released this statement:


We are aware of a video that is circulating the Internet involving several of our officers. We are investigating the circumstances surrounding this situation and have placed one of the officers on administrative duty. We are concerned as to the initial appearance of the video, and despite the fact that we have received no formal complaints at this time, we are committed to reviewing the situation in its entirety and taking whatever action is deemed most appropriate at the conclusion of our investigation. We ask that anyone with firsthand knowledge of this case contact Det. Dennis Galindez at 561-742-6142.
