I've had half a dozen horrible experiences with police officers ...and just about everyone I know has had nothing but bad experiences with police officers. ..

There are probably some good people out there just trying to do a job ... Or people who genuinely grew up thinking they'd be heroes ...but if even half are corrupt ... Which I'd be willing to stake my life on... It's too far gone already

Should I bring up Sammy Yatims video again?

Or any of the hundreds of situations of police killing people ... Not counting the untold other thousands of assaults ...

It's gone too far ... They've been given no oversight or counter checks to their power.

What are you? A criminal? How the fuck have you even had half a dozen experiences with cops in general? I've talked to 4 my entire life! If you're polite to a police officer, they'll be polite back. You must have been a real asshole to them.

You'd be willing to bet your life that half of police officers are corrupt? LOL! You really are hopeless.

Do you honestly think people put up Youtube videos of "cop doing a great job, no complaints!"

I've had at least a dozen DUI checkpoint interactions in that last couple years.

if you want to get to know the real assholes of law enforcement go put yourself on the DoT radar..basically the TSA of the roads lol.

Srsly lol, I've had a legal interaction with a police officer TWICE in my entire life, and I was a criminal for years.

And btw the interactions went really well, super nice cops.



Er idk maybe cause he repeatedly said he can't breathe and he was asthmatic so that could have something to do with it even if that led to a heart attack -.-

...you had one and it seems to have scarred you for life . If you had turned off the smoke spewing engine when the officer told you to she wouldn't have had to draw her weapon and you wouldn't have peed yourself and fallen to your knees begging for your life . You could have prevented the entire fiasco with compliance .

ok then - what crime did he commit for you to judge him that the Police had to put him in a choke hold and step on his head and shove it with an officers whole body weight into a concrete slab

while he was screaming for his life - and contine to do so , after he was in cuffs. Ive seen more care when the try to capture a wild rhino. Why didnt they clear the scene before they killed him, why didnt they pull out a gun and force him to lay down and submit


Im quite sure the victim would rather have been shot in the leg - then die, from total police brutally - it totally looked like the Police thought they were hunting a wild animal - when the guy clearly did nothing wrong and his only crime was being big and black.

unfortunately America has the most corrupt emergency services in the world.

we used to be such a great country now it's turned into a pit of corruption and violence and economic distress.

now Europe is so far ahead of us.

we need change!

Agree 100% - in my town i actually grew up with most of the Officers - actually went to school with them.

The great thing about that is when they open their mouth and try to discuss their understanding of a subject the class is learning about - you actually see first hand how stupid they are.

The reason they are now officers is mostly because they know someone or are related to someone and if they have any intelligence at all - the are usually promoted to sit behind a desk - and who can resist free access to unlimited coffee and donuts?

lol cant even take this shit srs when u just spit out complete bullshit with no facts to back it up not to even mention you cant because this just isn't true lol. Didn't bother to read the rest of this but I'm sure its more throw up.

Im not a criminal, my first experience with the police i was 12 and ran away from home

my second i was the victim of a violent robbery a few years later and refused to testify

the others revolve around traffic stops.

Im not a criminal but i can tell you in each circumstance they either did, or attempted to make me feel like one, and used threats and intimidation to achieve their goals.

I would be willing to make that bet...at least half the police force is corrupt...using the parameters

Corruption of authority: police officers receiving free drinks, meals, and other gratuities.
Kickbacks: receiving payment from referring people to other businesses. This can include, for instance, contractors and tow truck operators.[8]
Opportunistic theft from arrestees and crime victims or their corpses.
Shakedowns: accepting bribes for not pursuing a criminal violation.
Protection of illegal activity: being "on the take", accepting payment from the operators of illegal establishments such as brothels, casinos, or drug dealers to protect them from law enforcement and keep them in operation.
"Fixing": undermining criminal prosecutions by withholding evidence or failing to appear at judicial hearings, for bribery or as a personal favor.
Direct criminal activities of law enforcement officers themselves.[9]
Internal payoffs: prerogatives and perquisites of law enforcement organizations, such as shifts and holidays, being bought and sold.
The "frameup": the planting or adding to evidence, especially in drug cases.
Police hazing within law enforcement.
Ticket fixing: police officers cancelling traffic tickets as a favor to the friends and family of other police officers.

also adding

Lying or falsifying reports, abused of a civilian/suspect



"Prevalence of police corruption[edit]
Accurate information about the prevalence of police corruption is hard to come by, since the corrupt activities tend to happen in secret and police organizations have little incentive to publish information about corruption.[10] Police officials and researchers alike have argued that in some countries, large-scale corruption involving the police not only exists but can even become institutionalized.[11] One study of corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department (focusing particularly on the Rampart scandal) proposed that certain forms of police corruption may be the norm, rather than the exception, in American policing.[12] In the UK, an internal investigation in 2002 into the largest police force, the Metropolitan Police, Operation Tiberius found that the force was so corrupt that "organized criminals were able to infiltrate Scotland Yard “at will” by bribing corrupt officers ... and that Britain’s biggest force suffered 'endemic corruption' at the time".[13]

Where corruption exists, the widespread existence of a Blue Code of Silence among the police can prevent the corruption from coming to light. Officers in these situations commonly fail to report corrupt behavior or provide false testimony to outside investigators to cover up criminal activity by their fellow officers.[14] The well-known case of Frank Serpico, a police officer who spoke out about pervasive corruption in the NYPD despite the open hostility of other members, illustrates how powerful the code of silence can be. In Australia in 1994, by 46 votes to 45, independent politician John Hatton forced the New South Wales state government to override the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the advice of senior police to establish a ground-breaking Royal Commission into Police Corruption[15] However, in a number of countries, such as China,[16] India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil or Mexico, police corruption remains to be one of the largest social problems facing their countries."
