This poor lady goes through all this and cops get back to watch body cam footage and have ZERO empathy.

If we didn't have a mental health crisis in America we wouldn't have people who think treating someone like this is ok.

ANY CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR?? FUCK EM AND THEIR PUBLIC WHITEWASHING CAMPAIGN
Cataleast
"We'll open an investigation..." What fucking investigation? It's all fucking there on the video.
curmudgeon91
"potential" criminal behavior... They aren't even admitting the obvious fact that there is definitely for sure criminal activity there.
Rijtjeshuis
I hope the fuckers get to rewatch the video in court.
OtterSpaceExplorer
They'll never see court. They're protected from systemic justice.
johbennett89365
More root rot. I don't here other police condemning this.
Magpiebones
That "ready for the pop" comment implies he has dislocated/broken peoples arms before and on purpose. I feel genuinely nauseous.

Right, besides good cops scared to speak up, what are the spouses doing about it? Oh right, the trainer said they do this and come home to 1

I wouldn't insult pigs like that! Cops are rabid animals and should be treated like such, how often do pigs spread rabies? Cute lil oinkers.

A close family member died of dementia and if the police had done this to her I'd be in prison and those responsible would be castrati.
CaroleBaskingShark
They need a UCMJ. A SEPERATE set of legal consequences to reflect the responsibilities of that uniform. A system they aren't IN
ambiencenever
We all know what they need. We are on the next step already, catch up.
ClericOfTheProsperityGospel
I agree entirely. Been saying it for awhile. Think politicians should face a similar system too, really.
LeumisRichardson
Heck, I would settle for licencing boards upholding the oaths they take. If "conduct unbecoming" can be enforced, so can those oaths.
JeAlterEgo
Anyone who downvoted this knows nothing about the Military ??
MinimumContributor
They need to have a federal code and federal/state licensing for all these cops. Ability to be discharged and prevent moving to new force
cobjob
Federal institutions are less responsive and accountable to the populace.
NKato
Agreed. And when that happens, so many cops are fucked.
UnicornSausage
Cop unions would never allow it.
spiffylookingnerfherder
If there's one thing the US knows how to do, it's break a union.
Deadpo0l
Yeah, I think that’s what they meant though. The UCMJ is the separate set of laws that are used to hold the military accountable. 1/2
Deadpo0l
2/3 for example, military members waive their first amendment rights to an extent while they are in the military. This ensures they will
Deadpo0l
3/3 fulfill their responsibilities without bias. And if there is bias, it is punished appropriately

unless your a Military Wife then you feel like you can break any damn rule you want.

Hell, hold them to the Uniformed Code of Military Justice if they wanna act like soldiers so badly.
Zentigger
That's an insult to 99 prevent of us who served. These cops are scum.

The point is the scum cops would immediately face court martial.
RainbowAmoeba
Might actually get Veteran funding if we do that.

They do not act like soldiers. They want the fire power of soldiers with absolutely zero of the personal or professional accountability

The video is horrifying. For shopliffting $14 and she dropped what she took. The lady was walking home picking wildflowers. Heart wrenching.
whompsauce
She didn't shoplift. She has dementia and forgot to pay. Tried to pay after told. Walmart refused and called the pigs.

Her pleading that she just wants to go home over and over is heart wrenching. It's imprinted in my mind.

Psych evaluation and mandatory therapy because this isn’t normal behavior for anyone. They obviously need help just as much as gran
RydWolf
As an ER veterinarian, do you also hurt your patients and then leave them in a cage to suffer the pain of an untreated fracture for hours?
ShiftingPattern
"Ready for the pop?" isn't dark humor, it's premeditated intent to commit a sadistic act.

Are there really so few "criminals" left after legalizing weed that they have to get their jollies abusing old ladies?

Or woman, one of the cops was female too I believe

Thankfully scum is a gender neutral term. People should be ashamed if they act like this.

That's worse. In my experience, women tend to have more empathy on average, than men.
johneventually1
Meh
evilcarp
I Would love to understand what women get from this? Being a man makes it hard to understand. I do understand what the men gain. Not women.
evilcarp
Wow! The piggies are out in force. Down voting legitimate questions.
BethanTraveler
All humans have a need for power and respect. Some people, men and women, find dehumanizing and degrading others meets those needs for them
evilcarp
But the mechanics differ. What motivates this behavior? What are the semiotic triggers that pull this thought and behavior to the top?
Skorpsag
These police officers are nothing more than performance whores. Nothing less, nothing more.
evilcarp
Again, pig lovers downvoting legit questions.
garlickygarlic
Maybe it's part of their nature but the more videos I see the more I think it's a trained behavior.... or lack of training.
johneventually1
Power hungry people go for positions that feed the lust

Pretty sure its trained. That is part of the problem. You have to break down most peoples inhibition to killing.

And it proves that if you approach these situations with a focus on de-escalation, it’s possible, even with people with diminished capacity.

every vid & every second of audio PROVES cops in the USA are less capable of dealing with conflict de-escalation than a burger flipper. 2

take their guns, take their cuffs, give them a paper hat and a spatial and they'll more for the neighbourhoods flipping burgers.

Bless you. My mother worked in a nursing home for many years and I saw the toll it took on her. Thank you for caring for our elderly.

Key difference here is you actually intended to help people
kayakninjas
The fact that cops are expected to deal with both those people and violent criminals is a problem in itself. We need another group.
thinlyveilednonsense
I agree entirely. Emergency response services need to be entirely, and holistically, reimagined.

This. This is what is intended by”Defund the police “. - fund a group qualified to deal instead.
