I have heard the excuse how much cops hate having to wear heavy bullet proof vests. Running is almost impossible and you sweat profusely in the summer. Besides being racist I suspect many police are unhinged by the weight of the gear. Carrying a semi automatic pistol capable of unloading 16 rounds in 10 seconds does not help.

An acquaintance tells the story of a incoherent man swinging a crow bar at pedestrians. Answers dispatch man was obviously incoherent runs toward him hits police car with crow bar officer draws pistol and instantly realizes that was not a good option. Man then responds to warning turns and runs straight for the crowd with crowbar. Out comes taser even that was not workable. Officer ends up chasing man for 3 blocks where man enters house. Man in this circumstance was subdued not shot or tased. It turned out a taser would have killed him. It took several months for the system to place the man in a psychiatric hospital.

The police officer threw up when it was over with. Not a job I would want. It is the luck of the draw to find a police officer with a conscience. In this circumstance the policeman was required to fill out a detailed report for the record immediately after the incident. Apparently that does not happen in all of these shootings and there is a profound lack of accountability.

Some applicants do not pass. Also it was the first incident of a drawn weapon in recent memory for the department. Sometimes you do get what you are willing or unwilling to pay for. He was rewarded by becoming the department training officer. I guess armed police are required in a country that allows festering problems to continue without trying to solve those issues.

in recruiting and at the academy, but sometimes they slip through. Certain departments, however, may look for aggressive types, thinking they need "take charge" people who want to "win" every confrontation.

In other words, I think I agree with you completely.

I wonder how much of the bad training comes from budget cutbacks. I have wished they got better martial arts training since the Malice Green case in Detroit many years ago. The police beat Green to death because they wanted him to open up his hand. They pounded on his head with flashlights, yelling, "Open your hand! Open your hand!" I kept thinking if they knew how, they could have just put him in an inside wrist lock, which forces the fingers to pop open. I used to know someone who trained police in such methods, and weapon retention and weapon takeaways, but I don't know if they can still afford such training.

This right wing hypocrite said this :

"Remember when Hannity and Fox News presented Bundy as a victim and suggested that his violent threats against law enforcers were justified?"

" You talked about a range war with the federal government. There’s a lot of people out there - now that they’re taking your cattle - that are fearful that this is another Waco situation. Ruby Ridge has come up in some articles. What do you mean “range war?” How far are you willing to take this? (4/9/14)"

"I would assume as Cliven’s son, you want to protect your Dad. What are your plans if in fact (federal agents) come late in the night? …Do you worry that in fact they may kill either your Dad or somebody in your family? (4/15/14)"

&quot T)hey may want to make an example out of you. I would hate to see that happen. …Are you worried about what the federal government’s capable of doing from this point forward? (4/16/14)"

If you resist arrest, you deserve to be shot in the face by a cop. Seriously, fuck Sean Hannity and the Fox Ministry of Propaganda.

probably one of the few men that got the totality of the horror of the Vietnam war and he was so horrible and disrespectful...that at one point he even ASKED Hackworth, "you probably want to punch me". I realized Baby Jesus had no real concept of sacrifice. No idea what war was or how it fucks up a persons brain.

Hackworth just replied and I bet he didn't even think about wanting to hit Hannity, but shitstain wanted to be smacked...it would have shot him way up in the ratings. I was shocked at how he treated one of the most decorated military soldiers ever.

It dawned on my that either Hannity is just a stupid white privileged asshole or he really is that evil at heart.

I will always hate him for that interview alone, the Bundy shit was beyond legal imo.

I have a cousin in FLA who is a 911 dispatcher, and she is a total supporter of the police under all circumstances. Her "solution" to being killed by the police? "Try obeying the law. Do what the police tell you to do." This is her position despite the fact that it has been shown that even compliance does not guarantee safety (to say nothing of the larger issue of doing what they tell you to do).

The will to believe is strong, especially when the belief is particularly stupid.

It's a point well taken, and his racism is who he is, but that mugshot is repulsive.

61. There is a book called "Black Like Me"

written long ago by a white man who chemically changed his skin color in order to understand what it was like to be a black man. Within days he got a real harsh education. Mr. Hannity should have this experience before he passes on his recommendations on how to live life to black people.

73. comes from a Tom Cruise movie when he explained why people choose to be soldiers

not necessarily in the order spoken by Cruise or the exact verbiage...

#1. The family business
#2. Patriots
#3. A job
#4. Want legal means to hurt/kill others


I think this summarizes our current state of affairs with our local gendarmes quite succinctly.

a war YOU were UNWILLING to fight in, you not only lost all credibility, you went to the top of the list of people I want to see slapped hard in the face.

Yes, I am willing to do it

According to Truth Out, the screening process for police officers in the United States is rigged in favor of finding potential candidates “mentally fit” for the job. During an interview with Truth Out, the founder of the Chicago based People’s Law Office, Taylor Flint, explained the screening system this way:


“The firms that [police departments] hire, at least in my experience, to do the screening, are biased towards leaning towards the cop being OK. In the same way the system’s rigged so that [cops] don’t get disciplined when they commit these acts of torture and abuse, the psychology of it is rigged as well.”

Taylor went on to say:


“The kind of people that are attracted to policing are somewhat problematic to start out with. Some people [become police] because they’re idealistic and want to help and all of that, but there’s a substantial grouping of people who have violent propensities. … [policing] attracts a lot of people who have authoritarian instincts.”

According to Jeff Shannon (MFT), a police officer and licensed therapist who provides marriage and family therapy to California police officers, there is no debate as to whether the “police personality” exists. Large samples of law enforcement officers have repeatedly found similar psychological traits among the 900,000 or so officers employed in the United States. Those traits are authoritarian in nature. Psychological profiles of police routinely identify characteristics like: isolative, prejudiced, conservative, suspicious, cynical, and assertive.

It’s a pretty well-established fact that positions of power, like that of a police officer, attract a larger number of people with psychopathic tendencies. Yet we have no national standard for screening police in the United States. As Truth Out reports, 22 states do not require a psychological evaluation, conducted by a mental health professional, as part of the screening process for police. Those states that do require psychological testing do not mandate how the tests are to be performed or strive to ensure they’re conducted in an impartial manner.

The result of our flawed system is a frightening number of law enforcement officers who appear to be worse than the criminals they’re supposed to be protecting us from.

Hannity is very narrow-minded. He's just not that bright. I've never have seen him go on other shows outside of Fox News to comment. He stays in the safety of Fox where they feed him their information. He doesn't have a journalism degree. It's a shame that some people get their information from him. I stay far away from Fox News.

99. Is every cop now a Cartman? We already know every talking head is an uberwhore

to any sociopathic sponsor with a fat wallet and craving for slave labor. But is every cop now as needy as a Cartman to have his 'authoritah' respected? What the fuck is wrong with them?
