Good lord.

The police convinced this guy to convince to murdering his dad. Big problem since his dad wasn't dead but was alive and well, which they found out during the interrogation. Then the police let him sit for five days thinking his dad was dead and they were going to euthanize his dog, too.

All in the name of "keeping people safe".

I'm sorry but police should not have the ability to do this.

Unfortunately, having seen reports about studies about police interrogations, incidents like this aren't as rare as our common sense tells them it should be.

It's one of those imperfections in our system. Just like there's a benefit in a healthcare system that keeps people alive but sick and in need of care, there are factors in our law enforcement that push for conviction regardless of the facts.

And anyone that's ever been involved in our judicial system can tell you that how much you can afford to pay has a direct correlation to your ability to utilize all the benefits of said system. Sure, anyone can get a public defender, but is having someone who regularly works with the prosecution really going to provide one the best defense? And how does one pay for all those little filings and things that might give one the best defense or the proper opportunity to sue for damages? A lot of Americans don't have the money to defend themselves or to recover damages, even if legally they have everything in their favor.

A Donald Trump or Elon Musk can just outspend a typical American on delaying tactics and win a case through attrition through frivolous motions and actions. Their opposition won't have the money to keep paying for proper legal representation.

“You were at the Gas Station an Abnormal Amount of Time” | Karen Cop Detains Couple 90 MINUTES!
Posted on September 6, 2024

Teton County Sheriff’s Deputy Ashley Hayes detained a woman and her boyfriend because they “were at a gas station an abnormal amount of time.” They were ultimately held for over 90 minutes, while a drug dog was brought to the scene, unsuccessfully searching them for drugs. The boyfriend was arrested for refusing to sit on a curb during the detention, despite the fact that no crime had even been alleged to have occurred. The video went viral locally, with many residents calling for the termination of the deputy. The sheriff acknowledged the existence of the video, but has refused to comment on the situation due to the pending (bogus) charges against the boyfriend. So basically, a couple went to the gas station, and then got harassed by some cops for no actual justified reason.

90 minutes is probably enough time to call a lawyer. That is absolutely abhorrent "police" activity though, for sure. Pigs.

Cop Enters Home, Arrests Mom, After Neighbor’s Noise Complaint
Posted on September 9, 2024

In Riverside, California, a police officer shows up at a woman’s home after a neighbor made a noise complaint. Initially a juvenile inside the home opened the door, and then quickly closed it after seeing the officer. The officer then begins to barge in. But he’s confronted by the mom, who demands that he leave. Instead, the officer defies the Fourth Amendment, enters the home and arrests the mom, all without a warrant.

Idaho Cop Gets Violent with Innocent Kids | Justified, or no?

Posted on September 21, 2024

A retired California police officer moved to Idaho and began working at the Meridian (Idaho) Police Department. In June of this year, a 16 year old kid crashed his dirt bike about a mile from his home. Later, when his brothers went to retrieve the bike for their brother (who was in the hospital), they were approached by Officer Bradley Chambers. Encountering the least bit of resistance from the boys, who had just struggled to load the bike into a truck, Officer Chambers chose violence.

Cops Paralyze Handcuffed Man (He Died) | What Happened to the Cops?
Posted on September 30, 2024

On the afternoon of October 8, 2022, Anthony Silva’s life was irrevocably altered when Stanislaus County deputies unleashed a brutal assault, leaving him quadriplegic and eventually causing his death on September 10, 2023. Renowned California Civil Rights Attorney, Dale Galipo, filed a lawsuit on Anthony’s behalf. He joined me to explain the current status of that litigation, including the outrageous fact that no government investigation ever occurred regarding the circumstances of Silva’s injury and ultimate death.

I'm not for the death penalty. But these cops have the worst karma.

I said something non-lethal but very bad should happen to them, but I edited it out.

Absolutely.

Our cops don't care about people. We need to do something about who we put in law enforcement.

These cops deserve to be put behind bars for the rest of their lives. I'd say worse but I don't want to promote violence, but these guys deserve awful for the rest of their lives.
 
I couldn't even listen to the lawyers keep talking about that.

The comments on the video are just spot on. Even if these cops are the exception, this happens too much, and no one wants to hold them accountable even in obvious cases like this. There's no care in doing their job and no compassion or remorse afterward. These cops are like psychopaths.

They need to focus on de-escalation and keeping the peace... And they need to get rid of any cops who have a problem with that.

As I understand it, they need to completely change their training.

They see us as cattle.

They need to completely change the training and they also need to change the vetting process.

There are certain professions that just require more stringent standards. I know too many people -- including a lot of friends -- who I can't believe are allowed to be teaching kids.

Police officer is even more so. These guys are able to use lethal force and qualified immunity makes them almost entirely unaccountable. You have to be exceptionally sure you aren't putting loose cannons in these positions.

And I've seen firsthand how the DA's office and bad cops and other people in the justice system abuse their positions and protect each other. The entire policing, prosecutorial and prison systems probably need overhauled.
 
Man has a Seizure, Cops Arrive to Help (he doesn’t make it)

Posted on October 2, 2024

Rhyker Earl, 26, suffered a seizure on the night of Sunday, Sept. 8, at a home in DeMotte, Indiana, about an hour and 15 minutes south and east of Chicago. His grandmother called 911 for help, and Jasper County sheriff’s officers came to the home. Earl suffered from epileptic seizures. Having just had a seizure, he was agitated and noncompliant with attempts by EMS personnel to take him to the hospital. One of the deputies took Early to the ground, whereupon other deputies, as well as EMS personnel, forcibly held him to the ground. He was handcuffed and restrained in a prone position on the floor of his grandmother’s kitchen. They repeatedly injective him with powerful sedatives, as they held him down. A short while later, he would be dead.

 
When Cops Ask to Come Inside, DON’T do what This Guy Did!

Posted on October 4, 2024

This involves the Moweaqua Police Department and happened in Macon County, Illinois. This man was being investigated for allegedly making a threat on social media. Police officers showed up at his door without a warrant. They asked to speak with him. He was apparently lawfully armed at the time. He invited them in. Once inside, they wanted to disarm him. Not being agreeable, he asked them to leave. They refused. It all went downhill from there. This all could have been easily avoided.
