Another Murder Of An African American Because of Fucked Up Laws At The Hands Of A Cop!

I was just being a dick.

Stating the obvious. For once.

I got the impression from watching this video that it was an academy award performance by the cops for the benefit of their body cams. From the one who was ineptly and oddly clumsy with the cuffs in front of an open car door and conveniently then moved out of the way, to the shouted "taser" with a hand gun in an experienced cop's hands and the far too quick to shoot attitude. I think cops are taking body cam footage into account now and are adapting rather than changing. She has an "out" and so do the other cops. At the minimum it was a stunning level of incompetence and this person should never have been a cop, if stress did that to them and they completely lost their heads.

That was my "impression" of the video and incident, perhaps I'm wrong, but perhaps my subconscious is trying to tell me something too. Also, I don't think you can "train away" the inherent biases of some people and they need to be screened before hiring and monitored after. Removing their protections under the law and limiting the power of the unions would be a good idea too, they earned it. Also a national bad cop registry, once you are fired in one jurisdiction you cannot work in policing or related fields again. A quit now before we fire your ass would be a good idea, with proper incentives and disincentives, resignations go on the bad cop registry too.

Treating citizens with disrespect and bad manners is unprofessional and harms the profession and other cops and every incident should come with a fine, no complain required, just the body and car cam footage. All body cam footage should be examined in a timely manner by community volunteers and retired professionals, that might include a decent retired cop with a record as clean as a cat's asshole. A dog that barks bites, the same should apply to cops.

Bodycam footage released in police killing of Daunte Wright

The killing of Daunte Wright, 20, is at least the third high-profile death of a Black man during a police encounter in the Minneapolis area since 2016, after the shooting of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights in 2016 and the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last year.

The ineptitude of the woman cop is stunning,is she a parking meter cop who was just riding along that nightWTF,and your right on about hte national registry,if your a FK up on this job it should follow you around like bad credit,no way in hell if you've been fired for incompetance should you be hired by another dept.100 miles down the road.ccguns

Don't make it so easy. Gotta stay away from those definitive words like "never".

She is allegedly a 26 year veteran cop that actually trains police rookies.

My take on it over at my place:

The Arrest / No Fly List / Comeuppance Thread

How can they charge that? Involuntary? She fucking voluntarily pulled her gun voluntarily aimed it voluntarily pulled the trigger and voluntarily killed him. What the fuck?!?!

Good luck to her defense atty's, Incomprehensible how she could draw from wrong side then not recognize a pistol and not a taser was in her hand, my only thought now as this country slogs through all this is who is the next rocket scientist FK up to step up and throw even more gas on the fire, cause you KNOW it's coming ccguns

Really ,the thing is I use to expect FUP cops in small ass towns that have shitty sal and benefits and don't draw the best. But Minneapolis?, these large depts have the resources and many seek accreditation which is basically a evaluation of all their inner workings by a outside agency and still there are FUPS, maybe it's time to use tranquilizer darts like they do w/wild animals, better to say I'm sorry I put you to sleep than pumped you w/lead.ccguns

Another small point: why is it NEVER a black cop that does it?

They let black people be cops now?

 

[BurtMaklin]

They let black people be cops now?

I doubt it, they probably have to have ID.

 

[Rob Roy]

they want compliance- give it to them or may the odds be ever in your favor.

Compliance is a tough pill to swallow for some.

What they need is actual free market competition and to lose their immunity from wrongful actions.

They should be defunded and replaced by a plethora of people who are incentivized to protect people and who work to keep customers. Market competition will benefit consumers and provided the proper feedback to the service providers.

sounds like the Mafia.

 

[mooray]

Free market would be exactly how it is now, except with the freedom of being selective about which calls they want to go on, "that neighborhood sucks, no thanks".

 

[Rob Roy]

sounds like the Mafia.

It's exactly the opposite.

In a free market the consumer(s) as individual(s) voluntarily decide who they will use or not. That is what makes it a free market and how the feedback mechanism is a built in kind of voluntary regulation. That regulation is what keeps service suppliers incentivized to do a good job.

In an unfree market, the supplier, in this case, "government" choses for you, with or without your consent and "makes you a deal you can't refuse"...just like the mafia.

 

[Rob Roy]

You seem confused.

There is a fundamental difference between a free market and an unfree captured market. I would explain it to you, but I don't want to come off as a know it all and make you feel bad.

They need to take their guns away! They prove over and over that they shouldn’t have guns. Keep the guns at the station and if they actually need them then they can send officers out to them. I’m white and I have a family member I never met because they shot him for driving drunk and running. They don’t need guns

Madness.

Without their guns how will they extort you to make sure they and their crime bosses get paid though?

Though I can't argue for or against making Law Officers free market employees it does raise red flags to me. Nothing is ever perfect, well it wasn't in RoboCop anyway.

In other words you can't articulate why you think an involuntary coercion based system (what exists now) would be better than a voluntary and consensual free market situation, but you believe it would ?

I wonder if you feel the same way about rape being better than consensual sex. Any red flags there? Ahem.

I can argue against it cause it's an incredibly stupid idea and merely a rationalization for your particular social pathology. No government, local or national on the fucking planet works the way you figure it should for a reason, it's a dumb idea that doesn't work. Free market cops are like free market prisons, they don't work and are an abrogation of the state's responsibility for you while you are in their custody. Same song Rob, you have a very limited repertoire and no impact whatsoever.
