Sometimes yes James. But some are actually nice that try to do their job . My wife's brother is a cop nicest guy never abuses his power. But yes they have to keep you calm so nothing gets out of hand. But in a traffic stop you can kind of get a feeling how things are going. For a busted tail light and as nice as this cop was i would be nice right back(Which he actually was before he ran) thinking i was going to probably get out of a ticket and just get a warning.

"Get over myself'? This isn't about me, nor did i make it about me.Who gives a fukk what the forefathers would think
If they were here today, we'd be facing the same issue
They'd be bought by billion dollar corporations just like the rest of em
So let them roll in their graves or let them RIP, either way it doesn't change today's reality

“The Council’s plan to increase headcount while also including cost control measures is fiscally responsible and will go a long way towards ensuring public safety and better community relations.”

Brooks wants people to police themselves...this is what happens.
Guy hit's a toddler, actually stops, then gets shot by someone, dies.
Guy hit's a toddler, doesn't stop, lives, then charged with leaving scene/whatever else.
Tough world. Then again, who let's an unsupervised 2 year old run around in the front yard.........Comment -
now this is funny
I've posted about policeone forum more than once, I haven't been since the choke hold murder but looks like things have changed lol! Unless I am missing something you can no longer even read the comments of the articles anymore unless you're law enforcement. It is the internet version of "we're red right now" lolComment -
That is crazy. A 15 year old boy was shot and killed too. A witness said that after the toddler was hit, a man went into his house and got a gun and shot the man who hit the kid. They still haven't said who the 15 year was.Brooks wants people to police themselves...this is what happens.

finally cops getting arrested for murderComment -
Another cop up on charges for shooting a bloke in the back.
.Comment -
lol pig walks because judge says his actions weren't "reckless" so prosecutor filed wrong charges
off-duty cop with god complex tells people in a park to keep in down then fires into a crowd of unarmed people just because you think you saw one with a gun but you killed a totally different person... apparently that isn't reckless

damn I wish I could have been the one holding that phone, fun stuff never happens to me!Comment -
I think they were saying back when it happened that the driver (who got shot and died) had a teen in the car with him, yet the teen who got shot and died was the toddlers brother. But who knows, since this is no longer covered on the news since there is white on black crimes happening.Comment -
The Toddler and teen were at a nearby party and the uncle of the teen and toddler did the shooting.
4 people ended up dead.
The Toddler, the man who hit the toddler, the toddler's 15 year old brother, and the toddler's uncle who shot the man and the teen(supposedly accidentally), and then killed himself in a nearby motel as police were moving in to arrest him.
It was a really crazy fukked up story all around.Comment -
I think you are missing the point. That woman was probably told several times to move back and away from the scene and she refused to do so and ran her mouth about her rights. So in return the Police gave a reason to upgrade her phone. They didn't give a shit about her recording them, otherwise they would have just taken it.
If she was standing across the street at a safe distance away, nothing would have happened.Comment -
no I got your point and again;
boo penetrating who, time to put your big boy pants on. Welcome to adulthood.
That cop will be spending time in jail, he just committed a multitude of federal offenses and civil rights violations. The fine taxpayers of that city will be covering her check.Comment -
If the cops tell you to move back and away from a possibly dangerous scene, you back the fukk up and away from the scene. Ain't got nothing to do with big boy pants, it is common sense. Telling the cops you have a right to record them is one thing, not listening to them while they are conducting an arrest or an investigation is another.
I also don't think those were regular "cops" and I doubt that officer will spend any time in jail. And what Federal offenses have been committed?Comment -
ok, lets assume this is true about this situation even though you can clearly tell there is no danger which why the cops are standing around casually.
There is nothing she could have done that would warrant the cop to rip the phone out of her hand, smash it and then NOT arrest her. If she was too close and wouldn't listen then all the cop could have done is arrest her. Smashing her phone, even if he was legally allowed to arrest her would still be a violation of her civil rights and federal.
It crazy how you're defending something so obvious. What you saw here is called the god complex, nearly every law enforcement agent has it.Comment -
My problem with this video is that it looks set-up between these 2 people.
One woman goes right up to the Police and starts recording them while antagonizing them about how it is her right to record them hoping for a response. And then after the phone is broken and kicked, she wants to make sure that it was all recorded.
I don't think it was right for the guy to smash her phone, but not listening to the Police and infuriating them is going to lead to a bad outcome every time. If you want to record the Police, stay at a reasonable distance away and if they tell you to move back, then move back.
If this woman wasn't running her mouth, nothing would have happened.Comment -
wow... that is what stood out in the video to you?
not the overpaid union worker who just assaulted and violated the civil rights of someone they made an oath to "protect and serve?"
You sure you want to stick with that? I'll tell you what I would tell anyone else who would say that, if you truly believe that you're a sheep.Comment -
Turns out the guy that smashed the phone was a US Marshall. This was some type of Federal bust and they arrested 10 bikers(who were off camera laying on their stomachs)Comment -
lol here is your logic kermit, from a police chief... wake up body.. they are playing you like a flute. Hilarious how the chief makes it seem like it is the guy's fault.
"the Lawrence Police Department strives to be a modern, open public safety agency. As police officers, we must be held to a high standard, and we must have the trust and faith of our residents in order to be successful. The proliferation of cameras, both fixed and mobile, in this day and age means that the actions of police officers and criminal suspects alike are subject to the greater levels of scrutiny than ever before in history. As a police chief, I welcome scrutiny because it will result in better policing and better police officers.
On Wednesday, Lawrence Police Officers were arresting multiple drug suspects when a citizen walked through the arrest scene, between the suspects and the officers, with an active video camera. That citizen was detained by the officers.
Citizens have the right to film police officers performing their duties, and I have issued a general order to every member of the Lawrence Police Department reminding them of this right. A full and thorough investigation is underway by the Lawrence Police Department Professional Standards Unit.
This incident should serve as a teachable moment to all parties involved. Having viewed the video, which was posted to social media, it appears that both parties – the citizen and police officers – should have used a different approach. No one, for their own safety, should walk between police officers and suspects during an arrest, and police officers should always conduct themselves in a courteous manner, regardless of how high emotions may run during arrests.
I will allow the results of our internal affairs investigation to guide the department moving forward, and I welcome feedback and a dialog with anyone in the community about this vital issue." (lol!!)

Well it still could have been a dangerous scene. Until everyone is detained and removed from the area, the cops are not going to want the locals getting right up in there. Notice how there are not any other civilians right up in there except for that one woman who felt the need to tell the officers about her rights.Comment
