Part 3: Texas Grand Jury Doesn't Indict Officers Who Beat Woman - Polidicks

Why the fuck do people complain that people don't report on the good actions of cops? They do. For every negative action, there's usually a positive complement to it. Riots in Ferguson? People volunteering to defend the stores. Protests in Portland? Viral image of a cop hugging a kid. It's not like they never report on it - it's that people are more interested in the brutality. Nobody cares that a cop wrote a justified ticket to a speeding person. People care that other people are dying and being beaten and the aggressors are going unpunished.

Nobody wants all police to go away - they just want stronger penalties for police brutality.

[QUOTE=Cock Boner;46649585]Because it's illegal to record someone's voice without their consent in pretty much every state. That's why every security camera has no audio.[/QUOTE] This is incorrect. Voice recording only applies in some states in regards to telephone systems and private property. If you're in a public place or government building, you can record pretty much anything you want in most cases. You can also record private property if it's in plain sight and you aren't using any specialized equipment (ie. telescopic lenses, amplification equipment, etc.) And you clearly know nothing about security cameras if you think that none of them have audio recording capability. There are hundreds if not thousands of different security camera models with audio capture capability and even two way communication. The reason that cameras with audio capability are seldomly used is usually because of the added expense of the camera and the DVR that can record said audio source.

That puts a whole different tone on this. Absolute shithole. Makes the aggressiveness of the cops seem a lot more menacing.

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;46649730]The cops got fired and the city gave her $75,000 Sounds like justice was served.[/QUOTE] Most people who assault someone don't simply lose their job and have an unrelated party pay the victim money. They tend to get a criminal record, and go off to prison (And lose their job as a result). Being a police officer for some reason downgrades blatantly battery from a prison sentence to simply job termination (At best).

Beating my arse, that was just a fucking takedown. When you try to do a takedown and they resist, of course it looks a bit violent. Pretty obvious that they're trying to cuff the person and the person is resisting. Sure, the hair grab is dubious, but grabbing someone higher up gives better leverage.

The holy fuck is wrong with the jurrers, the cops weren't even fucking doing their job they litterally jailed someone for 100$ which should be illegal, then beat the shit out of her

It's still ok to post threads about police brutality? My understanding is that everyone is free to post about police besides Cubemanv2

[QUOTE=Comrade_Eko;46654618]It's still ok to post threads about police brutality? My understanding is that everyone is free to post about police besides Cubemanv2[/QUOTE] Yes this is correct.

[QUOTE=Coffee;46654653]Yes this is correct.[/QUOTE] I agree with this new rule, I think we all need to support the mods decision.

That's simply them using personal experience and statistical generalization just like every single person does, but if you're willing to accept that as fine, then I'm not sure how you can fault a cop for being more cautious around black people when the cop has personal experience and statistical significance saying that the black person is more like to be a criminal. It goes both ways. Either no one is allowed to make generalizations based on statistically significant facts or everyone is.
