Yep, Political party connection and wealth surely makes cops change how they treat you.

This happened in my hometown.

Quote:The Tennessee Highway Patrol "officially" waited four-hours to take a blood-alcohol sample -- and another day to run blood-alcohol and blood-drug tests -- which unlike regular citizens accused of DWI/DUI, were tested by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), not the local police department or hospital. Eyewitnesses dispute this alleged timeline, placing Koella's blood-sampling at 2AM, which was 8 hours after Koella's deadly crash.

The police also waited 4 hours after the crash to arrest the hit-and-run senator, despite the entire local, county and state police hierarchy standing 100 feet from his locked driveway (legally protected with NO TRESPASSING signs), and detective Curt Stewart, a strategic/tactical intelligence officer from the Plantation, Florida police department, "visiting" in Koella's house at the time.

So different from....

Quote:An Indiana sheriff has insisted that Floyd County Jail was following normal procedures when two male and two female officers stripped a woman, pepper-sprayed her, and then left her locked up without clothes for five hours.

Normal procedures? Where? Dachau?

Not the cops, per se, but the whole system is fucked up beyond belief.

Quote:PA mother of seven dies while serving two-day jail term for kids’ truancy violations

Quote:“I think there are better ways to deal with nonviolent crimes,” Leinbach said. “I am not even sure, quite frankly, that things like truancy and parking should be criminal offenses, and frankly support legislation that would decriminalize those offenses.”

Well I like this guy at least.

Seems possible that she died of natural causes?
I don't know about this lady, but my mother had a lot of issues with truancy and such because my younger sister has allergy induced asthma and severe allergies to like everything. The thing that still always gets me is that my dad was never called by a truancy officer, never charged with anything, and never asked to show up in court to say why he wasn't making sure my sister was in school.

Cops shoot a handcuffed man in the back while he is on the ground and the grand jury failed to indict them.

The cop is a scumbag but it is the grand jury which enables him.

There maybe cops who are jerks, but there are many more who are not cops, and who are bigger jerks, that goes without say.

Until relatively recently though that second set did not have guns and walk around shooting people.

Way too many cops think that badge is a license to kill.

But if your were a cop, how would you think, everyone is out to get you, I don't think you would be the pussy that you artre now, would you ?.

I would certainly hope that cops are not walking around thinking that everyone is out to get them. That leads to a "shoot first" attitude that has led to many civilian injuries and deaths. I think that most cops are pretty level-headed, but the job itself can create the situations where a cop loses that balance and gives in to the fight-or-flight response. And that's a bad thing to have happen when you have a gun and a badge.
