The line, "You're dressed as though you're about invade Poland" made me chuckle. I've often remarked how the British Bobby looks like an extra from the Death Star these days. They wern't lying when they said New Labour, New Britain were they?
Bastards.
Hate these wanna-be reporters. How juvenile.Quote:

I also wanted to punch the short little brown guy who was rooting for the "reporter"

This man does not deserve to be a police officer. There is simply no excuse for this. His defense, and the PD statements, are some of the most childish, idiotic things I have ever heard. Apparently having something mysterious in your hand is justification for being shot.
From all indications, his previous fatal shooting was totally justifed. This one, however, is just absurd
It's to depressing to keep up with this.
Anyway, cops in Virginia killed an 83 year old woman who had called police to report someone breaking into her home.
CR
Granny was packing and got shot, wouldn't be surprised if the police office saw her carrying a gun in the area where the tresspasser was reported lurking and didnt identify her as the caller.Quote:
Family members tell WDBJ7 that Delma Towler called police because she thought someone was breaking into her home on 10th Street.
Relatives say the 83-year-old was wandering behind her house. WDBJ7 has learned Delma may have fired a gunshot through her back door.
She then left her house and tried to walk through her backyard to the home of her sister who, lives two doors away.
Delma got all the way to her sister's back porch and that's when family members say she was shot by a police officer.
I'm sure thats what happened. He probably called out to her, and she turned around with the gun. However, I find it odd that he did not know the caller was an old lady. An old lady breaking bruglar is pretty rare...Quote:

This guy just wanted to shoot something that night.

Cops in Billings, Montana are completely surprised when they drop a flashbang grenade through a window as they raid a house and it ends up hurting someone - a 12 year old girl sleeping in the room;Quote:
On June 3, 2011, three plainclothes New York City Police officers stopped a Harlem teenager named Alvin and two of the officers questioned and frisked him while the third remained in their unmarked car. Alvin secretly captured the interaction on his cell phone, and the resulting audio is one of the only known recordings of stop-and-frisk in action.
In the course of the two-minute recording, the officers give no legally valid reason for the stop, use racially charged language and threaten Alvin with violence. Early in the stop, one of the officers asks, “You want me to smack you?” When Alvin asks why he is being threatened with arrest, the other officer responds, “For being a :daisy: mutt.” Later in the stop, while holding Alvin’s arm behind his back, the first officer says, “Dude, I’m gonna break your :daisy:’ arm, then I’m gonna punch you in the :daisy:’ face.”
“He grabbed me by my bookbag and he started pushing me down. So I’m going backwards like down the hill and he just kept pushing me, pushing me, it looked like he we was going to hit me,” Alvin recounts. “I felt like they was trying to make me resist or fight back.”
Alvin’s treatment at the hands of the officers may be disturbing but it is not uncommon. According to their own stop-and-frisk data, the NYPD stops more than 1,800 New Yorkers a day. A New York Times analysis recently determined that more than 20 percent of those stops involve the use of force. And these are only the numbers that the Department records. Anecdotal evidence suggests both figures are much higher.
So they "did their homework", but did it extremely poorly, can't wait for someone to answer the door (what is he going to do, flush a meth lab down the toilet?), and decide to throw a grenade into a room without knowing who is in their, and they decide to throw a grenade INTO WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS A METH LAB.Quote:
BILLINGS A 12-year-old girl suffered burns to one side of her body when a flash grenade went off next to her as a police SWAT team raided a West End home Tuesday morning.
"She has first- and second-degree burns down the left side of her body and on her arms," said the girl's mother, Jackie Fasching. "She's got severe pain. Every time I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes."
Medical staff at the scene tended to the girl afterward and then her mother drove her to the hospital, where she was treated and released later that day.
A photo of the girl provided by Fasching to The Gazette shows red and black burns on her side.
...
However, the officer didn't realize that there was a delay on the grenade when he tried to detonate it. He dropped it to move onto a new device, St. John said. The grenade fell to the floor and went off near the girl.
"It was totally unforeseen, totally unplanned and extremely regrettable," St. John said. "We certainly did not want a juvenile, or anyone else for that matter, to get injured."
On Thursday, Fasching took her daughter back to the hospital to have her wounds treated.
She questioned why police would take such actions with children in the home and why it needed a SWAT team.
"A simple knock on the door and I would've let them in," she said. "They said their intel told them there was a meth lab at our house. If they would've checked, they would've known there's not."
She and her two daughters and her husband were home at the time of the raid. She said her husband, who suffers from congenital heart disease and liver failure, told officers he would open the front door as the raid began and was opening it as they knocked it down.
When the grenade went off in the room, it left a large bowl-shaped dent in the wall and "blew the nails out of the drywall," Fasching said.
St. John said investigators did plenty of homework on the residence before deciding to launch the raid but didn't know children were inside.
"The information that we had did not have any juveniles in the house and did not have any juveniles in the room," he said. "We generally do not introduce these disorienting devices when they're present."
Unarmed Man Fatally Shot by Police on Queens Highway
Man turns himself in to cops for small time pot-related charge, tells corrections officers about his severe allergies and need for medicine, they ignore him and he's dead by morning.Quote:
A police officer fatally shot an unarmed 22-year-old man early Thursday morning during a traffic stop on the side of a highway in Queens, the police said.
...
Two officers in the front police vehicle — a sergeant and a detective — approached the car, a Honda. The detective was on the passenger side, where the window was open, the police said. Ms. Deferrari, who was seated there, later told the police that she had heard the officers tell those inside the car to show their hands.
The police said there were reports of movement inside the car but they would not elaborate.
You stay classy, NYPD:

Memo suggests Utah trooper Steed was falsifying arrest reportsQuote:
On Monday evening, October 8, 2012, police were called about a man who was sleeping in the lounge of the Aliya Institute on East New York Ave. The caller may have mistakenly believed that the homeless man, Ehud H. Halevi, was loitering on the center’s property without permission.
Aliya (Alternative Learning Institute for Young Adults) is a synagogue and outreach center for troubled youth in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Two officers from the 71st precinct, one male and one female, arrived and woke the man. Confused as to why he was being accosted by police, the man refused the officers’ attempts to escort him outside, insisting that he had permission to be there and asking that they allow him to prove it.
His pleas fell on deaf ears, and they proceeded to place him under arrest.
When he resisted arrest, the male officer flew into a rage and began to beat the defenseless man. As can be seen in the video below, the officer assumed a boxing stance and then lurched towards his victim, pummeling him from all sides.
Over the next couple of minutes the man is also pepper-sprayed and beaten with a truncheon by the female officer, all while posing no threat to the officers’ well-being whatsoever.
After a good two minutes of sadistic thrashing, the officers are joined by a squadron of their peers, and successfully put him in handcuffs and under arrest.
A source confirmed with CrownHeights.info that the man had full permission to be there, and had been living there for a month without any trouble. It is unknown who called the police or why.
Milwaukee Cop charged with 14 felonies, gets bail for $0:Quote:
A supervisor warned in 2010 that Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Lisa Steed, who is under investigation by her own agency, was frequently arresting people for driving under the influence of drugs who had no drugs in their systems.
...
The memo is "extraordinary," said Joseph Jardine, a Salt Lake City defense attorney who earlier this year successfully petitioned a judge to gain access to Steed’s discipline record. Jardine said the memo was not included in the records he viewed. The Salt Lake Tribune showed Jardine and Skordas the memo Tuesday.
Jardine said the memo shows the UHP hid Steed’s problems from defense lawyers. Legal precedent requires prosecutors also to have been aware of the memo and disclose it to defendants, Jardine said.
"That’s crazy," Jardine said of withholding the memo. "That’s exactly contrary to what the law requires them to do."

Also, at the end he tells the kid to hand over the phone recorder. I have concluded that if a cop ever tries to take my recorder, I will treat it like a mugging/theft, and I will respond with appropriate force. These guys are nothing but thugs

If a dog bites and tastes blood it generally will get promptly put down. However it's normally done after a court order. I wasn't aware that cops were judge, jury and executioner.
