Fucking Cops: Volume II

I'm sure the Chicago PD doesn't mean it.  They would take all the fun out of being a cop!

Chicago Police on Wednesday unveiled strict new limits on how officers can use their firearms and other force, the latest attempt to reform a department roiled by misconduct and criticism in the wake of a high-profile 2014 shooting of a black teen by a white officer.

Another change restricts an officer from shooting at a fleeing person unless the suspect presents an imminent threat to police or others. And it requires officers to use de-escalation techniques.

Yeah - the pigs will be leaving in droves.  Why stay there?

Rational people approve of supervision of police. And apparently so do you.

[Minimalist]

No.  I approve of prosecution of police who overstep their bounds.

Like this fuck.

Las Vegas Officer Uses Stun Gun and Choke Hold on Man Who Dies

A Las Vegas police officer involved in a fatal weekend chase used a stun gun seven times and held a man in a neck hold for more than one minute before the man lost consciousness and was later pronounced dead, the authorities said on Wednesday.

The officer, Kenneth Lopera, 31, believed the man, Tashi Farmer, 40, was trying to carjack a vehicle, Undersheriff Kevin McMahill of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said at a news conference. Had he survived, Mr. Farmer, who is black, would have faced no charges.

So he invented a crime and executed the perp.  Fine police work....in Germany in the late 30's.

US says three NY prison guards sexually assaulted female inmates

Three male prison guards repeatedly sexually assaulted and raped several female inmates under their supervision at a federal detention center in New York over time periods of up to three years, federal prosecutors said on Thursday.

The guards, who face multiple charges stemming from grand jury indictments that followed a year-long investigation, were arrested and were to be arraigned Thursday in federal court in the city’s Brooklyn borough, prosecutors said.

More heroes in blue for the cop lovers to idolize.

At least this one didn't kill anybody.

Off-duty NYPD cop arrested for selling drugs in Queens

Positive side of body cameras, the capture the spontaneous positive acts as well.  I agree that these should be shared and promoted by police departments.

Hollywood-Style Heroism Is Latest Trend in Police Videos
Source: NY Times

Thomas J. Wydra, the police chief of Hamden, Conn., has seen plenty of disturbing body-camera recordings depicting officers committing misconduct. Last month, he decided to throw a more uplifting video into the mix.

It showed one of his officers in a heart-pounding act of rescue. Called to a nursing home because of a troubled resident, the officer chased the man up several flights of stairs and onto a sixth-floor balcony. Just as the man hoisted a leg over the edge, the officer pulled him back to safety.

“It was like out of Hollywood,” said Chief Wydra, who distributed the video to every news outlet he knew and posted it on Facebook and Twitter.

And in January of last year, a video from Albuquerque showed an officer finding a crying child who had been abandoned in a parking lot hours earlier. As he picked her up and soothed her — “Hi, sweetheart, you O.K.?” — his body-worn camera continued to roll.

In promoting videos recorded on the very sort of body-worn cameras that have documented episodes of police misconduct, law enforcement officials say they are trying to use the positive images as a counterbalance. Policies on the release of police videos vary widely across the nation and remain a matter of intense debate. Critics say the practice of releasing selected recordings — but not all of them — threatens to create a falsely upbeat narrative about police conduct without full transparency.

But law enforcement officials say the positive videos accurately highlight moments that have too often been overlooked: when officers do something brave and unexpected, daring and heartwarming.

I think Cenk nailed it there.  We have lots more racist cops.

Great video
I can't believe those numbers and that was in 2015!
Washington post has a database that says in 2016... 963 people were shot and killed by the police. 
already in the first months of 2017 there have been 385 deaths by police. 
We need better training and a way to weed out the racist mother fuckers. 
I just read a timeline on the progression of black lives matter, and the many beautiful people that have been murdered by cops. It brings me to tears everytime.
