Far too often still they are guilty and get away with it.
Reviewing oneself is not a valid review.
Sorry, this is my last response in noting that this isn't about me.
Far to often they get away with it or are guilty...so you're judge and jury?
Should police be accorded the same rights you have ?
According to who? You?...
Is the system of justice corrupt?... Because if what I'm gleaning from you it must be because you don't like the outcomes the system produces
How do you fix the system? Care to share effectual solutions?
Because in my world and real life I don't see corrupt police actions erased...
We release a list of allegations...and outcomes.. for violations of policy and law all the time...
As a matter of fact California has a system tracking use of force for example..in place for years.although lately it's been touted by politicians as something new.. I see the outcomes are very harsh...
When ‘Yelling Commands’ Is the Wrong Police Response
“Officers, especially the majority who are not specially trained on this issue, do not use appropriate techniques or de-escalate encounters with individuals with mental illness or impaired faculties to prevent the use of force and, when force is used, officers do not adjust the application of force to account for the person’s mental illness,” the department wrote in its 2014 report on the Cleveland Police Department.
Law enforcement training teaches officers to be forceful, to take charge of a situation and to physically control anyone who might be a danger. In the last two decades, there has been a growing trend to teach officers to de-escalate tensions, particularly with troubled people, but experts say there is a long way to go before the techniques reach every department and every officer, and really sink into the law enforcement mind-set.
The tactics can involve the officer keeping a distance, coaxing rather than commanding, and maintaining a quiet, conversational tone of voice.
So fix the mental health system...that's an effectual way to address one issue.
We had a great system of outreach involving mental health professionals deployed proactively on the street
Funding was cut..why?..it worked..
Oh..we had to pay for more social welfare..or create expensive bureaucracies to control marijuana...friggin travesty
Lets say the female officer who shot the man in Tulsa..clearing killing him without sufficient cause..at least that's what we are being told...(and I personally believe)
If she was found innocent by a jury of her peers would you support that verdict?
Agree?
Have you ever been in the front seat of a police car on a ride along?
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Charleston community leaders and police officers will unveil a new plan focused on improving race relations between the public and law enforcement.
A press conference will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Charleston City Hall.
The plan was developed as a response to multiple officer-involved shootings across the United States.
For nearly 14 months, groups and organizations have been meeting to discuss police training, youth engagement, arrest tracking and police body cameras.
The protests have made a difference. Hopefully they will continue to.
A new documentary shines a terrifying light on cops who think they are at ‘war’ in America
In one arresting scene in Do Not Resist, Craig Atkinson’s new documentary about the culture of American policing, Dave Grossman, a man who conducts police training seminars, reportedly tells a group of officers that the best sex of their lives is waiting for them in the moments after they kill someone.
How do you protect yourself from flying fists, choking hands, disabling electrified darts and killing bullets?
How do you defend yourself against individuals who have been indoctrinated into believing that they are superior to you, that their word is law, and that they have the power to take your life?
Most of all, how can you maintain the illusion of freedom when daily, Americans are being shot, stripped, searched, choked, beaten and tasered by police for little more than daring to frown, smile, question, challenge an order or just exist?
