There needs to be more oversight of law enforcement. Did you all see the videos from LA where the mounted police where having their horses stomp on the dude laying in the ground?
I won't say where I am I live in a rural border region but I have been told stories by locals that sounded like it belonged in the 1950's, but that pattern of racism continued up till the late 90's as far as I know.
One particular example I know of was where people of color were picked up by the sheriff or local cops and taken the edge of town. The cops told something along the lines of 'we don't why you were here, but you can't stay here, get to walking!'.
I have been told stories by cops, like one using his actual service weapon instead of the stun gun to stop a perp from climbing over a fence. Guy was shot in the ass for trying to run away, it was not intentional but in the heat of the moment chaos sometimes shows up to the party.
I have personally witnessed civilians who were flustered or otherwise not all there, forget to put their vehicle in park and I watched as the vehicle rolled downhill into another parked vehicle not far from where I was parked with my motorcycle. Stuff happens.
Yeah. Stuff happens with untrained civilians. That’s why cops allegedly undergo extensive training to NOT get flustered. Ditto for military troops.
The story about cops using gun-blue service weapons instead of yellow tasers is not unusual because cops are conditioned to instinctively reach for their service weapons. They are also taught to NOT shoot at civilians who don’t pose an immediate threat to them. But, some cops seem to forget that in exciting moments.
The cop who left his vehicle running in reverse gear when he exited his vehicle that ran over the pedestrian wouldn’t have passed a driver’s license exam if that really happened.
Then, instead of calling paramedics to examine the victim, the victim was taken into custody and removed from the scene. The cop(s) on the scene must have been very very excited, hopped up on adrenaline, and a danger to society if they were driving away in that physical and mental condition.
On the other hand, the cop might have thought it would be fun to drive backwards over the victim. I wasn’t there and don’t know the cop’s history. I know, and have known, many law enforcement officers in my lifetime. None of them have ever killed any civilians or fired shots at them. None have ever used their vehicles as weapons. However, cops who do resort to violence typically have a history and reputation of doing so, repeatedly.
Ditto for the latter part regarding repeat offenders, there was a story of a cop here in my area that took extreme interest in and did as much digging as I possibly could. What I found was a history of complaints official and unofficial about road rage against motorists on the job. Hard to say what’s going on inside his head but he was repeatedly just given a free pass on it.
The final straw, the one that got my attention was a near fatal incident of confronting a motorcyclist in an area I am very familiar with. PCR for incident was made up, it was not possible to do what he claimed. He confronted the motorist with weapon draw no lead up to that moment (red flag), did not identify himself (unmarked car) and had no uniform on. He demanded that the motorist hand over his wallet and turn off the motorcycle. To the motorists POV this could have been a motorcycle version of a car jacking or a robbery (those do happen in that region).
Red flag, my understanding from dealing with police officers and being related to them. They are never to touch your wallet. This guy rifled through it, instead of just asking for him to produce ID. The rider was calm, and pleasant, not being confrontational at all. This cop was wired and ready to go off, he also tried to make sure he was not being recorded (another red flag).
He should have been fired for it. After a lot of public pressure and lawsuit(s) a formal review board decided that although his actions were by definition conduct unbecoming he wasn’t sanctioned for it and told to attend therapy sessions. This cop had been on the job for 19 years by that time.
I took interest in it because that rider could have been me. He or I could have been shot by this loose cannon with a badge. If the rider had not been recording this, the powers that be would have made it go away for lack of evidence (cop had no body cam). They did try, the rider had to sue to get resolution.
If this city is known for having a brutal police force which regularly performs actions such as these, then every me of those officers should be removed and replaced with police officers who uphold their oath to follow the law and protect and serve the citizens.
The chief says that the city “asked” for it; doubt they implied or stated that jaywalking is a serious crime.
Someone needs to make sure these violent animals they call police in the corrupt city of Tulsa, get what they deserve!! Apparently city leaders can not get their police force in line. The racism is causing a stench! Fucking useless pigs. RUN OVER SND THEN ARRESTED for FUCKING JAYWALKING!!!! This is abuse, nothing less!
WTH!? The community complains about major crimes so the PD's response is to commit a major crime.. That's vehicular assault if I had to guess what statute that would fall under, criminal negligence on the part of the police officer would be another.

And that poor young woman trying to get home to her apartment!
He could be dead for all we know. It would just be another police aided disappearance.

Yes that’s how it used to be but how it should never have been. I despair of mankind’s inhumanity to mankind.
Omg is he okay?????
He was seen limping at his court appearance last week. His trial begins October 20
I counted at least 7 police officers apprehend this “Violent” J-Walker.
Unlimited resources, WOW!
Efficient use of TAX dollars, NOT!
Officer left his car in reverse gear? Sounds like a bogus story.
How many times have you left your vehicle running in reverse, in front of a pedestrian, when you exited your vehicle?
In “cop lingo”, there are no coincidences.

Officer chose retirement ultimately last I heard.

True?
As bad as policing was before, it’s ramping up because they know there will be no consequences thanks to Dick Tater.
They’re not even bothering to make it look like they GAF anymore.
Oklahoma has become the armpit of the nation.
Missouri says, “Hold my beer.”

Wtaf?
WTF RACIST PIG!
Not only that. They grabbed his arms and pulled him out from under the car, not knowing whether he had a spinal injury
This is Amerikkka
