I truly despise the media. Thankfully I’ve learned to believe nothing when certain kinds of cases come up. After the Air Force I really considered going to the police academy but decided not to. Guess I saved myself a lot of grief.
I just assume if the media is claiming a back guy dindu nuffin, he probably did
Yea. I can only think of one case in recent memory where the cop shot a black guy in the back and was punished for it. Otherwise the media ignores the violently resisting arrest part. Only other group you see this with is illegal aliens.
Putting signs up that say "instead of dindu, just dindon't"
I’ll stick with comply and stay alive. lol. What really showed the media to be the scum they are was when those 5 black cops in Memphis beat and killed that guy and the media tried so hard to tie it to white supremacy. I’m surprised they didn’t have them do a dna test so they could say this cop was 15 percent white!
Castillo was a real tragedy with the guy trying to follow orders and be transparent and it freaked the officer out. Of course you didn't hear much about him because pretty much everyone came out saying the cop fucked up.
They both fucked up. Castillo could have, y'know, chosen to not drive while high, and then he might have been able to follow the cop's instructions.
That said, I have much more sympathy for the cop. If someone is high and claims to be armed, then proceeds to potentially reach for said weapon while ignoring commands to not reach, I can hardly blame the cop for wanting to protect himself.
The officer should have ordered “keep your hands on the steering wheel”. Commands must be simple and easy to follow, particularly for impaired subjects.
I remember that case. Tragic
In Washington State!? I had friends get shot because they weren't corrupt like the other cops. In once case, they watched one get stabbed and did nothing because they didn't like him.
Cop friends? Did they get in any sort of trouble? I would’ve been a cop in Texas
In the case of being stabbed, they blamed him for trying to arrest the guy with the knife. Said knife man had just killed two other people 10 minutes beforehand.
Then they are shocked certain areas have issues getting new cops
You think that's bad? I wanted to become a judge or prosecutor, but disgust with the system dissuaded me.
You'd have to make it through law school first. I'm nto saying you can't handle it. I'm saying you might not like it. You wouldn't be the first person even that I know that got to any phase of a law career and changed his mind.
I actually did legal studies for a while - in Roman law, it's a major like any other. Believe it or not, it's pretty fun (at least I thought so), that is, until you graduate and you have to slave for 12 hours a day at some profiteering company, or work for the government.
I can imagine. You would be hamstrung
Precisely. Rather than being a lone fighter for what's good, you would be complicit in the evil of the system.
