Irresponsible dog owner. Cop was actually very controlled and was not particularly abusive. Terrible example of abuse of power.

No reason to be abusive when you can just shoot something.

Fuck that shit.

He was called because of the fucking dogs. Hmm..I'm scared of dogs because I'm a faggot, let me answer to a dog call, oh look the dog is barking and wants to play with me, let me shoot him because he just seems so dangerous with those big white teeth showing.

He should of gotten his faggot ass back in his faggot ass cop car and called a dog catcher or called back up or just left.

What is it a fucking black lab? wow.

The cop was a dick, no doubt.

The owner was also a dick.

I don't have much sympathy for dicks messing with dicks. Yeah, it wasn't the dogs fault, but dogs have to deal with the consequences of their fucked up owners.

I'm not saying the cop is a hero, but the citizen is not a victim in this case either. Obviously the dog owner is enough of an asshole to let his dogs run around stray, even after neighbors complain. He isn't in the country where there would be little inconvenience for others.

I used to bike a lot and god damn it is annoying and dangerous (almost got run over once swerving to avoid a dog) when a large breed dog jumps at you barking and growling. I was also bitten by a dog with irresponsible owners. I also lived in a town where a girl was half mulled to death by the dogs of an irresponsible owner.

You don't want dogs getting shot? Keep them fenced in behind private property. Don't like it? Cry to PETA, there are plenty of people there who will share the feel. I have a feeling people defending the douche bag dog owner are either irresponsible owners themselves, soft heart pussies, or they have a family member/friend who is an irresponsible dog owner and therefore take that side. The video is very clear that the cop was just doing his job, he was even nice about it and apologized and explained his position which was completely valid.
 
An update on an event that took place in L.A. one year ago...

Last February, police officers in Los Angeles launched a manhunt for Chris Dorner, a former cop who began to hunt his fellow cops. Dorner's picture is found below:

Those of you who live in the area might remember that it was dangerous to be in the same vicinity as the cops during this time. This was especially true if you looked like Dorner.

One morning, in the midst of the manhunt, two women - 71-year-old Emma Hernandez and her 47-year-old daughter Margie Carranza - were on the streets of L.A. They were delivering newspapers on their normal route.

Eight LAPD officers came upon the small, blue pickup truck driven by Hernandez and Carranza. They open fired on the two women, putting 103 rounds into the truck. Two rounds hit Hernandez in the back. Carranza was grazed by a third round.

Hernandez and Carranza eventually settled for $4.2 million.

The following is an update on the case:

The Los Angeles Police Commission officially announced last week that the eight officers violated the department's policy on the use of deadly force. Police Chief Charlie Beck noted that disciplinary action might range from intensive training to firing. NBC Los Angeles has reported that none of the officers will be fired. Instead, all eight officers will receive training and be allowed to resume their duties.

LOL they weren't the only two victims.

There was some other guy a day or two later driving home from surfing in a truck and I'm pretty sure they shot at his truck too. AFTER they had already shot at these two.
 
Next up: Officers of the Miami Dade police department.

Summary: On December 10, 2013, Adrian Montesano robbed a Walgreens in the city of Miami. Following the robbery, he shot a Miami Dade police officer (non-fatally). Montesano was spotted later that evening driving a blue Volvo with a male passenger. The passenger had not participated in the Walgreens robbery. Nor had he participated in the non-fatal shooting of the Miami Dade police officer.

Officers of the Miami Dade police department descended on the vehicle after it "crashed in the backyard of a townhouse."* They fired approximately 50 rounds at Montesano and his passenger, both of whom were later found to be unarmed.

Both men managed to survive the initial volley. Commanded by the officers to put their hands up, they started to comply. As the men were trying to raise their hands, the officers unleashed a second volley (CBS later found that the officers fired a total of 377 shots).

In the end, both men were killed, including the passenger who had not taken part in the Walgreen's robbery nor the earlier non-fatal shooting of the Miami Dade police officer.

Anthony Vandiver, an eyewitness who lives in a building that overlooks the site of the attack, said the following:

“They were saying put your hands up, and the guys were still moving after they shot maybe 50, 60 times,” he said. “And the guy tried to put his hands up. And as soon as he put his hands up, it erupted again. And that was it for them. That guy tried his best to give up. I swear to God on everything I love, my kids, my momma, everything, I seen it all.”


A second eyewitness noted:

"The policemen that had on the black and white vests were out there laughing like it was so funny."


CBS further reported:

Bullets were sprayed everywhere. They hit the Volvo, other cars in the lot, fence posts and neighboring businesses. They blasted holes in a townhouse where a 12-year-old dove to the ground for cover and a four month old slept in his crib.

Two police officers were shot during the incident. One was hit in the arm. The other was hit in the arm and grazed in the head. As neither man in the Volvo was armed, the injuries were from friendly fire.

According to CBS, "Senior commanders admit they are very lucky more officers weren’t seriously hurt or killed. Even more haunting is the danger the residents in the area faced."

It has not been determined if the senior commanders were being ironic.

Conor Friedersdorf reports that the incident is still under investigation. The shooting is being reviewed by both the State Attorney’s Office and the Miami Dade Police Department.**

** Source. It should be an expectation that the officers' actions will be deemed consistent with department policy, and thus no disciplinary action will be taken.
 
Saw a segment on CBS Reality the other night where cops were surrounding a suspect, pretty much in a circle, and then they opened up. One of them took a round in the leg. Dumbasses.

Indeed. I thought that only happened in cartoons.

I was going to include this photo of cops at Miami Dade Academy doing push-ups and make a crack about them needing more time at the firing range. But the image was huge and would have destroyed the formatting.
 
Like you, I run across a lot of stories that put cops in a bad light. I intend to post brief summaries of such stories in this thread. When available, I'll post pics.

How often? Whenever the mood strikes.

Why? Self-entertainment, cathartic release, passive demagoguery... take your pick.

Feel free to add your own stories, comment on those posted, or argue and call each other (and myself) names.

First up: Dallas cop Patrick Tuter.


Tuter.jpg



Summary: In 2012, police officer Tuter was involved in a high-speed chase with Michael Allen. Allen ended up in a cul-de-sac with Tuter in pursuit. Tuter used his car to box Allen's truck in. Authorities originally said that Allen rammed Tuter's car, which prompted the officer to discharge his firearm (more on this in a moment). This claim was a lie as Tuter's dashcam showed that he had actually rammed Allen's truck.

Tuter exited his car and proceeded to fire upon Allen. Reloading twice, he fired 41 shots total. Three hit Allen, killing him.

Allen, pictured below, was unarmed.

Why did the guy run from the police, did he have a gun on him.
 
Homeless, Mentally Ill James Matthew Boyd

Offense: Unauthorized camping

with as many as 40 police officers reportedly joining the standoff. Among them were uniformed cops and members of the SWAT team, the tactical K-9 unit and the Repeat Offender Project squad.

Advancing on him, officers ordered Boyd to get down on the ground. Boyd began to turn away, and Detective Sandy of the ROP squad and Officer Dominique Perez of the SWAT team each fired three live rounds at him, hitting him once in the back and twice in his arms. Boyd collapsed, face down, crying out that he was unable to move. "Please don't hurt me," he said. Another officer fired three beanbag rounds from a shotgun at Boyd's prone body. The K-9 officer again loosed his German shepherd on Boyd, and the dog tore into his legs. Finally, officers approached and handcuffed him.

In the final hours of his life, Boyd had his right arm amputated and his spleen, a section of his lung and a length of his intestines removed. At 2:55 a.m., he was pronounced dead. He was the 22nd person killed by the Albuquerque police in just more than four years.

The City of Albuquerque also filed a gag order to prohibit attorneys from discussing the case with the public one week after KOB Eyewitness News 4 exposed controversial recordings that will be used in the case.
 
We had a female cop arrested for DUI driving her unmarked at around 2am the wrong way on the interstate. She got off with 18 months probation. She did lose her job AFTER public got pissed. 2 years later she was on a two lane and rear ended one of my friends daughters car with his daughter and her friend in it. Their car rolled, and hit and broke a gas main but they walked away. They said she was going nearly double the 55 limit. She spent 16 days in county.
