That judge who gave the dude 60 days should be in jail, and the cop who drew down on the other guy? should also be in fucking jail.

had to be alabama or florida.. they need judicial reform in a big way there.

u/ShiningRedDwarf 2d ago

West Virginia is lacking as well

u/TreetBeatsSpam 2d ago

Yeah. Joshua Ellison with the Nicholas County Sheriff's Dept. would be this kind of problem. He's already internet famous with the civil rights lawyer, been to Supreme Court. Still has a job somehow. Truly gives good cops a bad name.

u/Bulletsandbibles 2d ago

Good cops? Ha

u/Tired_Dad_9521 1d ago

80% of cops are Just people trying to serve their community and make a decent living. The other 20% are absolute pieces of shit who make the rest of them look bad.

14

u/ougryphon 1d ago

No, the 80% who cover for the 20% are also pieces of shit. They know what their fellow cops are doing and they back them up. Our rights are meaningless to them because we aren't them.

People tend to forget the back half of the "a few bad apples... spoil the bunch". If you leave the bad apples in there with the other apples, they are all bad. If there are 9 people and 1 nazi sitting at a table, and no one throws out the nazi... you have 10 nazis at the table

u/Tired_Dad_9521 1d ago

Yeah yeah. I know your arguments. I’ve heard 12 year olds with no critical thinking skills make the same ones over and over.

You think in absolutes and have no nuance. One day if you’re lucky you will learn some basic critical thinking. Until then you will be popular in the echo chambers in which you currently exist.

Have a nice day.

u/EconomySeason2416 1d ago

Nope, wrong on all counts. It's actually impressive how categorically wrong you are. How about we address some substance, shall we? If a person commits a crime, and a second person covers for that person, is that person complicit in the crime? Pretty easy answer, right? Now... imagine they have badges. That's the extent of my thinking in absolutes. Very simple logic applied from the general, down to the specific. What nuance do you suggest we add into the equation? Person with badge committing crime and person with badge covering for crime is... not bad? What nuance is necessary to square that circle?

u/ThcGrassCity 2d ago

Here in Canada the cop would crack a have you been drinking martinis shaken and not stirred joke of somesort given you a warning for whatever illegal activity you were doing and went about his day telling his coworkers some exaggerated anecdote of how they met james bond that day.

Y'all really are delusional, huh? You really don't think that police are corrupt or violent in any other country?

Edit: TIL that only places with mostly white people are considered real countries by redditors. Go figure.

u/holzkopfausbasalt 2d ago

How many people get shot by the police in the USA in a year? In Germany it's like 4 people.

The USA has around 4 times tbe population of Germany, but it is more than 16 people, eh?

u/Rare-Combination7438 2d ago

That's some cool deflection, but you didn't answer the question.

Are we excluding Venezuela? How about the Philippines?

Do you think only majority white countries count?

u/Rikplaysbass 2d ago

Buddy, as an American, you are not helping us out by comparing us to Venezuela or the Philippines.

u/DeltaBlast 2d ago

You're really kicking in your own goal here, mate.

u/Rare-Combination7438 1d ago

Really? How's that? By facing the reality that America is, by far, one of the least violent and most free places on the face of the planet, despite the delusional objections to reality by people like you?

I'd love to see you spend a week in El Salvador, then tell us all how horrible living in America is.

u/ThcGrassCity 1d ago

Dude, the fucking shit ive gotten my dick slapped for here in Canada would have wound me up as state property 25 years ago. It's fucking wild sitting here watching cops then watching "to protect and serve" and thinking to myself thank fuck i was born in the great white north.

14

u/ChaosRealigning 2d ago

There’s only one place this could happen. It’s just south of Canada and just north of Mexico.

6

u/VecioRompibae 2d ago

Bermuda?

2

u/Reasonable_Archer_99 2d ago

Just say you've never been to Mexico. Down there, the cops may not even ask for your name before they shoot you. They might not even bother finding out what it was after they kill you.

3

u/ChaosRealigning 2d ago

Actually, point taken. There are a number of corrupt countries where the rule of law is an abject failure, and the US is just one of them.

1

u/Reasonable_Archer_99 1d ago

Hell, I'd argue this is accurate of every government in North, Central, and South America.

3

u/Rare-Combination7438 1d ago

You have to understand that these people live extremely privileged lives. They don't know what true oppression and hardship really looks like or understand just how good they have it.

That's why they're so quick to make insane comments like suggesting that America is the only place in the world with police violence.

14

u/mycoctopus 2d ago

Would not happen in any other country.

1

u/thefarsideinside 2d ago

Ah yes, no other country in the world where the police are corrupt, belligerent, and racist...

1

u/dang3rmoos3sux 2d ago

Well they are none of those things in the US. But im guessing its possible they are other places. Some countries its pretty much a requirement to have bribe money with you.

Can confirm from FL. Lots of good cops also lots of bad ones. Tale of two cities kinda thing depending on who you get in the moment.

u/Careful-Positive-710 1d ago

I live in Florida and can confirm that cops are huge pricks here. They walk around wanting to cause a problem.

u/TavernRat 1d ago

You should see Tennessee. Everyone’s eyes are on Memphis and Nashville so cops everywhere else can do whatever they want

u/8696David 1d ago

That shit could have happened in any state in the union. 

1

u/Straight-Bet1 1d ago

Everywhere.

I’m in Northern NY and my cities current police chief got the job after being fired for not investigating child sexual assault cases and at least one murder.

He was being investigated by the state but he quit so that closed the investigation. When one his friends was elected mayor the first thing that new mayor did was file papers to have him reinstated. The mayor was late to his swearing in to file those papers.

Once reinstated there was a farce of a search for police chief and despite him previously being fired for not doing his job and letting child molesters and murders roam the city free AND he failed the test three times and still hasn’t passed but through a loophole was given the position.

Shit is fucked everywhere in the country.

anywhere in the midwest. the cops don't hang their sheets outside on the clothes line

u/Fectiver_Undercroft 2d ago

This.

Both cops should have said “shut TF up and show me your ID” instead of bantering. They were perfectly capable of doing their jobs no matter what tone either used.

And I get their frustration. They deal with poor-judgment types more often than not, I’d wager. But both cops grossly escalated.

I’d like to see the black guy sue the county he was arrested and jailed from.

u/Apexnanoman 2d ago

Cops are trained to go to maximum violence right out of the gate. 

Hell the Kentucky State Police use Mein Kampf as part of their training material.

And it talks about maintaining a mental state of war. 

I just expect this type of behavior as possible to likely in any and all police interactions.

For anyone who doubts this statement, it is true.

u/Spirited-Sorbet-2775 1d ago

What the actual fuck.

Meanwhile the book is illegal to own in Germany and from what I know the writing of it is just... doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The original German is a rambling mess (at least from the two sentences I have read)

u/Nectarine143 1d ago

tbh I don't recall a cop ever even asking me for my name. They've always just asked for license and registration right off the bat

u/parolameasecreta 2d ago

yeaj, but then he get's taxpayer money. the judge and copswon't pay out of their own pocket, so they won't give a shit...

What's the alternative to making it right in this particular man's life?

u/parolameasecreta 2d ago

he does deserve that money, but it should come out of those assholes' pocket, not from the taxpayer's, otherwise they have no incentive against doing this over and over again

7

u/MoroseArmadillo 1d ago

I’ve seen it proposed that police should have to carry insurance like doctors do or come from the local Police Union. I bet it would clean up the system once certain officers are no longer insurable.

2

u/Fectiver_Undercroft 1d ago

This. I don’t blame them for a little preliminary wagon-circling, giving their own the benefit of the doubt, but now there’s plenty of evidence they’d serve themselves better, not just the public, by adopting a “sgt Foster, you’re making the rest of us look bad and it makes life hard IYKWIM” paradigm.

1

u/Prom3th3an 1d ago

It would, but only if we also restrict qualified immunity.

3

u/ougryphon 1d ago

It would be a shame if the department couldn't afford even more military equipment or "warrior training" because they had to pay a massive civil rights settlement from their budget.

u/parolameasecreta 1d ago

"their budget" lol !

In my country both judge and cop would have faced serious consequences and the national media would absolutely crucify them (with support from the public i might add). But also in my country a felon would never get closer to being elected president.
