June 1Jun 1 Yeah I don’t understand so many officer’s inability to say “yep, i thought I saw that, my apologies, please drive safely.” We all screw up at times, how difficult is it to say “I’m sorry” or “my bad”? Unbelievable hubris.

Unbelievable hubris.Exactly. 90% of the shit you see of cops going bad are all ego driven. It's gotta be a lot more work in the long run to be that way but its not them paying for the lawsuits so nothing will change.

Unbelievable hubris.I'm guessing it the fact that those "my bad" events don't make it onto the internet. I've witnessed more than one myself. Most cops are good people who will admit when they are wrong. I have to imagine that working with the worst 5% of the population on a near constant basis wears the crap out of you though. I imagine it'd be like having to interact with @Bender every single day.

I imagine it'd be like having to interact with @Bender every single day.I bag on the bad cops all the time. I recognize how shitty the job is and mentally draining. Agree that you mostly only see the bad apples on the youtubes but there are enough of them on a pretty consistent basis that it IS an isssue. Saw one last night where cop off duty drives drunk to the theatre, drinks another beer waiting for movie to start. He bought ticket to Star Wars opening night but went into Frozen 2 theatre. Was found passed out with zipper down and handgun resting between his legs. Cops arrested him that night but he spent 365 days on paid admin leave and then when investigation closed, he returned to duty like nothing happened. All that being said, my main issue is with what happens to the bad cops. The general public is always on the hook in even the most blatant cases when it comes to lawsuits. Most of the time in the non-criminal cases, the cop resigns and then hires on somewhere else.
June 7Jun 7 I posted about this story somewhere in the forum, but some follow up. Story is about a father that drove to chase down a dude that took his daughter. Caught up, scuffle, shots, abducter dead. Father arrested, charged, then his dashcam memory card that captured the encounter goes missing. He decides to run for sheriff, wins the primary against the incumbent. AR Supreme court replaces judge. New judge just dismissed the charges. Sheriff then fires the detective on the case. I think he'll become the next Sheriff. Hollywood next.Judge dismisses murder charge against Lonoke County sheri...A judge on Thursday dismissed the murder charge against Aaron Spencer, the Republican nominee for Lonoke County sheriff who killed a man he said sexually abused his teen daughter.
June 12Jun 12 Pulled over leaving his neighborhood by our brave officers who used the reasonable articulable suspicion that it is 80 degrees and the subject is wearing a hoodie. Then they double down and lie!
Yesterday at 03:27 PM1 day My biggest fear for situations like this is that the cops realize they effed up and drop a bag to justify everything and avoid making him a millionaire. Again, the presence of cameras has helped mitigate that in modern times but still.
Yesterday at 05:05 PM1 day I hate that everyone records everything nowadays, but admittedly as more of this kind of stuff happens, I understand why people feel the need to record LE interactions. It may be the one thing that saves them from the “drop bag.”
20 hours ago20 hr There was the cop i just read about and a couple good videos on where he was routinely pulling over randoms for traffic violations and they'd always have some tiny amounts of meth in a baggie. He made many many arrests for completely innocent folks by dropping the baggie out of view of his body cam. Only one time you could just see the baggie scrunched up in his hand before he 'found' it.Corrupt Deputy Faces 85 YEARS for Planting Drugs | Taking the Stand | A&Ehttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/former-florida-deputy-arrested-planting-drugs-drivers-during-traffic-stops-n1028991 Edited 20 hours ago20 hr by uhhello
