USA Police Misconduct Reports
Jabberwalker Jabberwalker:
Ever get a speeding ticket, tough guy?
Many. Fought them with a lawyer. Only had to pay once.
Unlike you crybabies, I'm likely the only person here who's been an actual victim of police misconduct.
I was accosted, threatened and intimidated by a certain Ontario Provincial Police officer. After an investigation in which I was involved, the officer was suspended from duty for 6 months and ordered to take 2 courses to improve his behaviour.
I was also stopped endlessly for being a young guy in a fancy car in my early 20's.
I also know a lot of officers personally and am intelligent enough to know they're not all like that asshole I dealt with at the OPP.

You are not.

I have posted here my experiences with a "Bully with a Badge". Feel free to Google them.
As Regina points out, Bart has also had some unpleasant on the job experiences being part of Law Enforcement in his city and resigned as a consequence.
The reality of Ferguson. Anyone hear of Dillon Taylor, an unarmed whiteman shot by a black cop? Didn't think so....a lack of riots doesn't sell papers.

Although no weapon was found on Taylor, Cruz was cleared of wrongdoing in the case Tuesday. Prosecutor Slim Gill said that the shooting was justified because Cruz thought Taylor had a weapon and that he would use it against him.
Video of the incident (above) shows Taylor walking away with his hands in his waistband under his shirt.
"Get your hands up, now!" Cruz is heard yelling in the video.
"No, fool." Taylor replies, continuing to walk away.
When Taylor turns around and removes his hands from this waistband, Cruz shoots him twice, striking him in the chest and abdomen.
So he complies....doesn't rush the cop, and ends up dead. Why couldn't the officer have shot his left pinky or right little toe. Where's the looting and the riots?

"Nothing that Mr. Taylor did assisted in de-escalating the situation," Gill told the Salt Lake Tribune. "If anything, it escalated things."
Yeah, and the Gentle Giant of Ferguson really helped deescalate his situation.

I'd prefer you elaborate on the situation as your explanation is quite vague:

I have been the target of one cop's unhealthy attention, and I still don't know what I did to arouse his anger. But it forced me to learn what my rights are, and what his were. And I can't be bullied by a badge ever again.

It's my policy to not reveal personal details. To elaborate further would mean I have to reveal details that could be used to identify me. Suffice to say, that one cop made it his personal responsibility that I be subject to every control within his power, however misapplied, whenever he felt like it. Searches, tickets, inspections . . . whatever he felt like whenever our paths crossed. And he made sure they crossed often.
Just accept that you are not alone in having bad experiences with a bad cop, and in believing that not all cops are bad just because you met a bad one.
“The average US citizen is over 10 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist”
For real? And they have a war on terrorists??
That poor homeless man. I lost count on the bean bags shot on him.
The Duenez story is terrible, he was shot 11 times?? 11 TIMES? Now the guy who shot him is detective??
Jesus. He was half deaf the next guy. “were going to do the arrest thing” 12 cops to get the guy...after he is clearly not going anywhere. What retards.
I have to stop watching this.

Yep, I've had a few. The worst was when I was still carrying a badge. Lucky me I was, too, or odds are I'd not be here anymore.
Not really a threatening interaction, but on the 29th Lisa and I were out shopping and a guy comes up to me after calling me "Brian". He was very friendly but there was something phony about his friendliness that I was picking up on and I was very guarded. We spoke a bit and I told him my name was Peter, he apologized for the mistake and there was a bit of genuinely friendly banter and we went on our way.
When Lisa and I went out the door of the store we saw the guy speaking to some uniformed Elk Grove PD and he gestured towards us. I waved and he waved back.
Seems I look like someone in Elk Grove named 'Brian'.
I'll now be avoiding Elk Grove for the foreseeable future.
The Sacramento News & Review this morning reports that a crowd-sourced database of police shootings in the US has been created by an editor at the Reno News & Review.
Sadly, it is the only national attempt at a database of police shootings. According to the story most jurisdictions in the US adamantly refuse to compile statistics on police shootings.
The database launched in February of this year and, according to the SN&R story, it has now documented over 3,000 police shootings.

Well at least he had a spoon. Better than getting forked to death.

Yeah, but OTI will be along shortly to tell us how that SOB with the spoon had it coming because....well, I'm sure he'll make something up to cover this.
Maybe it was one of those unregistered assault spoons that criminals sell out of the trunks of their cars!
I find it odd how Canadians are captivated by the a ferguson/michael brown shooting enough to protest over it? It is an issue that has nothing to do with Canada. Jermaine Carby was armed and this type of thing is very rare in Canada as our black population is small and most black Canadians have never received the same poor treatment American blacks get in the US. We shouldn't be protesting over an American domestic issue. Protest over the Natives for F*** sakes if anyone.
