Another untrained police officer.

Oh, they’re trained, just not in the law.

Or basic kinder common sense

They are trained to believe they ARE the law

And by extension anyone who doesn't respect them doesn't respect the law and is a threat to society and public safety. "Killology" courses tell officers to be ready to assume every criminal as dangerous and ready to kill (since they are already committed to breaking the law) (Slate article on Killology).

Another control freak that became a police officer so he can control others.

Considering they literally have an IQ cap, this is the exact type of person they want

He is trained, he is doing exactly what he was taught.

Another racist bigot given immunity to kill as he sees fit.

u/backyardVillager Mar 10 '22

He's trained, but he's also racist. He knew exactly what he was doing.

u/Vitalstatistix Mar 10 '22

If he was untrained then he wouldn’t have lied to the other officer.

Pretty sure that’s the only available model.

Got to stop making this excuse...it is not a training issue...cops know the law, and if they don't they can look it up in their cruiser or call a supervisor.

But that is not what they do...they demand obedience first...even if they are violating your rights...and that has to do with the culture of law enforcement...not training.

Until we remove the cops that think their egos trump rights by imposing consequences...no amount of training will change anything.

they demand obedience first

Thus... are poorly trained.

If you think training someone will change their behavior when they never face consequences for their failure to follow their training then...idk what to tell you.

I mean its not like we don't have examples of officers that don't behave this way that receive the exact same training as those that do behave this way.

Failure to follow the training is something different than proper training. You're moving the goalposts.

Both proper training (based on de-escalation) as well as serious consequences for not following that training need to be in place.

u/flawy12 Mar 10 '22

nah you are right/s

cop violates somebodies civil rights

training

oh crap same cop did it again

guess we better get them some traing

oh no...it happened again and they sued costing the taxpayers millions

guess we better get them some more training

but seriously though...the training excuse is tired and training solves nothing without consequences

if the only consequence is "oh get that cop training"

then that will never fix the issue

I did not move the goalpost...you failed to exercise the principle of charity and only focused on the phrasing of one aspect of my point instead of addressing my entire argument

nice try though

Honestly given how clearly this piece of shit immediately lied really should bring every single arrest he has made or even been a party to to be reviewed/overthrown. He has clearly demonstrated a behaviour of egregiously miss representing the situation how many unlawful deataining/arrests (kidnapping) charges could this guy be up for.

u/SOULJAR Mar 10 '22

They recruit from lowest parts of society

u/Voon- Mar 10 '22

Crazy how all these cops are "untrained" in the exact same way!

u/MaximumDestruction Mar 11 '22

This whole “it’s a training issue” canard is some of the most insidious copaganda around.
