When you have multiple instances of police acting wildly inappropriately that are only investigated because of video recordings that directly contradict the official police explanation of the event, then they kind of forfeit their right to no be filmed conducting their work.

While this is true for New York (I'll assume they did their research) it does remain illegal in a number of states. I think Maryland was one or only recently changed their law.

It's premised on the officers having a right to privacy even while conducting their job in full public view. Plus using wiretapping statutes and stuff.

Not sure how broadly this applies, but the Supreme Court has fallen on the side of people recording and not the police in recent years. As the videos have shown though, that doesn't really make a difference to cops who enforce their interpretation of the law at their convenience.

Talking about reparations for the Chicago enhanced interrogations

Quote
Over a period of nearly 20 years, Chicago Police Cmdr. Jon Burge and his “midnight crew” allegedly tortured at least 118 people, forcing them to make confessions.

The police officers beat the victims, burned them with lit cigarettes and handcuffed them to hot radiators. They tied plastic bags over their heads and nearly suffocated them. They put cattle prods on their genitals and in their mouths and electrocuted them.

Grenade launchers are just used for tear gas right? Not to say they don't abuse that but it is a legitimate use in some circumstances. What a police officer could need a tracked vehicle or anti-material .50 cal rounds for I don't know.

Nothing in the White House announcement prevents local police from dressing up like Navy Seals so I think most departments will be able to live with this. Ferguson cops can still carry ka-bar fighting knives (upside down so you know they are real BAs.)

You have to understand that they're wearing forest camo+ghillie suits more because it's slimming than any tactical reason.

The ironic thing is those police officers think they look tacticool but they are wearing Blackhawk LBVs circa 2005. There are African militias with better kit these days. If you aren't wearing Arcteryx LEAF you might as well show up to a race riot wearing a leotard, amirite?

Quote
Police officers fired 137 rounds at the car after it was cornered, prosecutors have said, including 49 by Officer Brelo.

...

Officer Brelo had climbed onto the car’s hood and fired at least 15 rounds from close range.

...

Prosecutors said Officer Brelo’s actions crossed the line from justifiable to reckless when he climbed onto the car’s hood, but the judge disagreed.

All these court cases are totally pointless. Virtually no police officers, no matter what they do, will be ever be found guilty of any wrong-doing in cases like this. The deck's too stacked. The only way any of this is going to get any better is through a radical change to how police officers are trained in the first place, and the deck is pretty heavily stacked there, too.

Quote
Patrick A. D’Angelo, one of Officer Brelo’s lawyers, said his team was “elated” with the verdict, and he blamed an “oppressive government” for bringing the charges.

Quote
Highway patrol troopers in Oklahoma fatally shot a man whom they had been trying to get out of high water, authorities said.

The two troopers responded to a stranded motorist call south of Tulsa late Friday and found two men with two vehicles, said Capt. Paul Timmons of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

The troopers told the men to come toward them to safer ground out of the high water, Timmons said. But at some point, an altercation broke out.

The troopers fired, killing one of the men, 35-year-old Nehemiah Fischer, according to Timmons. They arrested the other man, Fischer's older brother, Brandon, who was uninjured.

The shooting is under investigation.

Timmons said Nehemiah Fischer, 35, was armed. But he said it was unclear why the altercation had broken out.

The highway patrol's practice is to place any patrolman involved in a fatal shooting on administrative leave. Timmons couldn't confirm whether that had been done yet for the two troopers in this case.

Quote
Nehemiah, who is an assistant pastor at Faith Bible Church in Tulsa, was pronounced dead at the scene. Brandon was arrested for assault and public intoxication.

Quote
Laura is adamant that her husband, an assistant pastor at Faith Bible Church in Tulsa, and Brandon would never go after the troopers on their own volition.

'He was the nicest person I’ve ever met. He was very giving. He made me want to be a better person,' Laura said of Nehemiah.

The two would have celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary next month.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Capt. Paul Timmons said  he confrontation occurred as the men were exiting the water after the troopers told them to leave the vehicle and come to safety on higher ground near Hectorville and Bixby Roads, CNN reports.

Details of what led to the altercation are unclear, but Timmons said the two brothers were 'really upset' about having to leave the vehicle in the water.

Neither trooper was injured.

'[The troopers] were trying to get them to come out of the water,' he said. 'They were worried about them getting swept away.' 

Timmons said Nehemiah had a weapon, according to CNN. Officials have not said if the weapon was used or shown.

However, a friend of Nehemiah, Mike Haesloop, told The Guardian that the 35-year-old is 'not the kind of guy that’s going to pull a gun on anybody.'

'He’s more one that’s going to pray for you,' he said. '...I don’t get it. None of this is making any sense.'

What a fucked up situation. If I'd been on one of those pedal-pubs and someone shot me with water, you can bet I'd get pretty riled up in a hurry. You never know if some fucking douchebag hipster is squirting you with water, Kool Aid, urine, jizz... who the hell knows what gets into the head of some jackass who thinks it's OK to assault strangers?

On the other hand, what's the deal with the violence and what appears to be the arrest of the pair who were filming? I mean, if the cops thought they'd been a part of it, they wouldn't have said, "Now's your chance! Run while you can!" that's just some posturing, ego-salvaging bullshit.

If they didn't get out of the water they could have both died, so the police saved one life. Everyone else saved zero.

'Obviously looking for trouble' • Taylor's 22-year-old brother and 21-year-old cousin were the two men with him and whose clothing matched that described by a 911 caller, who told dispatchers "some gangbangers" walking near 200 East and 1900 South had "flashed" a gun.

"They're obviously looking for trouble, just the way they look," the caller said, according to a transcript of the call.

Well, there you go. Obviously this guy deserved to die.

Quote
"He was digging at something," Cruz said, according to the district attorney's report. "He was manipulating something. I knew there was a gun in those pants."

When Taylor withdrew his hands from his waistband, Cruz told investigators: "I was scared to death. The last thought I had go through my mind when I pulled the trigger ... was that 'I was too late. I was too late.' And because of that I was gonna get killed."

I think it has more to do with training, culture, and environment than the lack bravery of the individual officers.

1. Obviously the departments put a lot of money into training their officers and prioritize safety like all companies so as to not lose a valuable asset. Thus defensive training is a high priority and that famous 21 foot rule trains officers to react with deadly force instead of de-escalating situations.

2. The culture appears (to me as an outsider) to be macho and increasingly paramilitary and becoming more so. The military style uniforms, military style recruit training, military weapons, military vehicles, "war on drugs", "thin blue line", etc. promote an an enemy-centric approach to policing instead of community involvement.

3. The environment some officers live and work in on a daily basis is not the same that you and I live in. We don't live in the same dimension as them. Our lives are generally comfortable and mundane and we generally only frequent hip, safe neighborhoods with people like us (I assume.) But police, especially on night shift, live in work in a nighttime world in low income neighborhoods where most people they deal with are intoxicated, on the fringes of society, and they are responding to violent crimes. So I think many of them lose perspective of what "normal" society is like where you don't have to constantly be hypervigilant.

Basically, some black kids showed up to a pool in one of the most upscale neighbors in suburban Dallas, which really ticked off some racist white lady. Then, the cops showed up and started cuffing the black kids.

What got the cops called was some white ladies making racist remarks. A fight broke out between one girl and one of the ladies. THe boys tried to pull them apart. There were lots of kids, and teenagers are going to be loud by necessity, because they're teens. But there were more than black teens there, let's be real.
