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.

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.

3/41 shots? Does he have hoofs for hands or something?

In Tuter's defense, a resident of the neighborhood reportedly counted 20 bullet holes in Allen's truck. So Tuter managed to at least hit a GMC truck positioned a few feet away from him. lol

It's anybody guess where the other 18 rounds ended up.

EDIT: Prosecutors initially argued to have bail set at $10,000. Judge Lena Levario set it at $100,000, remarking "I’m not concerned about whether he is going to return to court or not. I’m concerned about public safety." That gave me a chuckle.

Funny, but I run across a lot of stories that JakeStratham runs across that put cops in a bad light.

Even though I cannot identify with any of these stories that have no bearing on my life whatsoever I've learned that police are likely to shoot me the next time I'm motorcycling nude and doing wheelies at an assembly of girl scout troops - which would be patently unfair because I'd be endangering NOBODY'S life. Fucking pigs, man.
 
I have one..

Just about every one of these cops has, or will, kidnap a peaceful individual who happens to have a piece of vegetation on them at the time of their encounter.

This kidnapping will last for years, removed from their family and friends, and will likely get beat or raped repeatedly during their stay.

A portion of your property will be stolen from you in order to make any of this possible.

Not only that, but by locking up a father for years increases the chances that little Timmy will exhibit a slew of behavior problems, including drug usage & violent tendencies.

But hey, that's all by design. The cycle continues, ensuring guys like this can keep doing what they do.

And this isn't even news, it's not considered police brutality. It's an accepted and even glorified practice of "catching the bad guys!"

..picture stories are fun.
 
HOLY SHIT! The bigger story is that the cop actually got charged with murder. That never happens.

Next at the plate: Framingham SWAT team Officer Paul Duncan.


g12c00000000000000072c389db315247688f9c0b553be5f3096ffc8697.jpg



Summary: In 2011, Officer Duncan was part of a team looking for two men, Dwayne Barrett and Joseph Bushfan, both in their early twenties. The latter lived with his 68-year-old stepfather, Eurie Stamps. The cops had planned a raid on Stamps's house.

Moments before the raid, Barrett was arrested coming out of the house (he did not live there). Once Barrett was in custody, the police stormed the residence. They used a battering ram to bust in the door and threw a flash grenade inside.

By the time Duncan reached Eurie Stamps, he was already on the floor, face down and arms over his head. He gave every indication of compliance. Duncan reached down to pull Stamps's hands behind his back, presumably to put him in restraints. The officer allegedly lost his balance, discharging his M4 rifle. The round tore through Stamps's face, puncturing his left lung, aorta, and pulmonary artery. He died from his injuries.

"I heard the discharge, and it was almost like there was a shot fired," Duncan later said.

Stamps, pictured below, was not suspected of a crime at the time of the raid. Nor was he the subject of the raid that ultimately resulted in his death.

The district attorney's investigation ruled the incident an accident, finding that Duncan's actions, as well as those of the other officers involved in the raid, were without fault.

Once again I recently spent some time with a cop and hit him up for some information about handling a few personal issues. Kind of funny to hear him complain about the "gung-ho" guys with poor judgment. Like all people, there are good and not so good.

"Good cop" is an oxymoron.

What do they do all day? They harass innocent people, collect money at gunpoint and throw people in cages for non-crimes. They're in a position where they can do violent, horrible things to people, legally, that anyone in the non-enforcer class would be appalled by and imprisoned for - and they volunteered for this.

They don't "protect and serve". They have no legal obligation to protect anyone. They do nothing to prevent crimes - and only in rare cases are they competent enough to solve real crimes.

They're the overseers of the largest prison population in the history of the world. It's like saying someone was a "good Nazi" - maybe he was just doing his job, he's still an evil bastard.

The closest thing to a "good cop" I can think of is a meter maid, at their very best they're still overzealous revenue collectors, out to rob their neighbors while being financed with stolen money.

If a cop sees you have a tail light out and pulls you over, do you think he's doing so because he's looking out for you, or that he's praying that you've been drinking or he'll find some inanimate object on you that's been deemed illegal by the state so he can lock you up and brag to his buddies about it?

Hitler and Stalin's enforcers had their hero worshippers too. Some were worse than others. Many probably seemed like nice enough guys just doing their jobs. That doesn't make them good.

Even cops admit that you should never talk to them, their only job is to prosecute you - not protect you. And you're always guilty of something whether you know it or not.

He explains how police work a lot in this video. How seizing cash and cars was their main objective.
 
Next up: Officer Richard Haste.


120614072128-richard-haste-story-top.jpg



Summary: On a Thursday afternoon in 2012, officers in the NYPD were stalking Ramarley Graham. Graham entered his home and closed the door behind him. Camera footage shows at least 2 officers running up to the door and attempting (unsuccessfully) to kick it in.

-----
SIDEBAR:

According to New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly after the incident, "The observation team reported, uh, over the tactical radio, they observed the butt of a gun in the waistband of Ramarley Graham." This would turn out to be a false report.
-----

The officers eventually entered Graham's home, barging upstairs. Graham was located in an upstairs bathroom. The cops burst through the door, with officer Haste allegedly yelling "Show me your hands!" According to the officers at the scene, Graham reached for his belt, which prompted the cops to scream "Gun! Gun!"

Haste shot Graham in the chest, killing him. No gun was found. In addition, despite an early police report claiming that a struggle ensued between Graham and one of the officers, Commissioner Kelly later clarified that no such struggle had occurred.

Graham, 18 years old at the time of his death, is pictured below.

Officer Haste was originally indicted with manslaughter as well as first and second degree murder. Judge Steven L. Barrett threw out the indictments.

Saw this video posted today, this sort of thing I imagine happens every few seconds in similar situations in order to generate monies for the state.
