FUCK THE POLICE

[Eggdodger]

The police landed a helicopter in the middle of our football field tonight for Homecoming.

 

Two years ago, my oldest brother was poisoned by acquaintances of his in his own home. He called our mother several times complaining of intense abdominal pain and asking for "Pedialyte and strawberries". Neither item helped him. Besides that, my brother's phone showed several outgoing calls to 911- none of them went through, strangely. After he died and he was carried out of his apartment, it was robbed that same night. My brother drank a lot, but he was too young to have died from it, and he never touched drugs. The detective investigating the events surrounding his death managed to recover my brother's stolen music equipment, but only prosecuted his two acquaintances with "theft" and "theft by receiving", respectively. The toxicology report my brother's body was supposedly going under never came to fruition-- at least, we never got results back. Maybe the police just lost interest. The guys both had lots of drug money-- maybe a bribe took place (would explain the big drug problem in this town if police here did take bribes). Regardless, that report could have convicted his supposed "friends" for life if it had ever happened. The one charged with theft by receiving was back on the streets in a month, and occasionally visits my neighbor down the street. I thank whatever god is out there that he doesn't know what I look like.

 

Not enough money or time to prosecute murderers, but plenty enough funding for their own personal chopper in a podunk horse-and-buggy town whose biggest claim to fame is getting a Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. A chopper that they can fly onto the school's football field just because. They didn't join the force for justice. They joined it for power and nice toys. These are the same police that tazed my mother without provocation, causing permanent nerve damage, and recently broke a woman's arm, and even more recently called for "back-up" and surrounded a 16-year-old girl's vehicle to search it. The same police that won't chase you if you jump over a fence because they're too fat to scale it (this is a well-known fact among drug dealers in my town) have their own chopper that serves no purpose in a town where two-story buildings are a rarity.

 

I fucking hate this town.

cops are pretty much around to enforce security for corporate entities and prey upon minorities to boost their own budget and pad their arrest numbers so they recieve more funding from state and federal governments

some of them are ok but most of them are just cunts on a power trip

smaller towns have this problem a lot because the community is easier to control and censor

[Sidewalk Surfboard]

Is this you, Azure?

[Azure]

i dont wear hats

[Wolflich]

Better not to fuck them—apparently they've pretty high rates of domestic abuse.

I must admit the news that comes out of the US about their police is pretty disturbing. I expect a bit of that now and then when you take the average human being and give it power, but it seems pretty serious over there. Hopefully their culture can be dragged into the modern world now that it's getting harder to hide it and deny everything without someone uploading a video of them later.

[Mentova]

Sounds like the department in your town is total garbage, always sucks to hear about shitty cops :c

I also just applied for a job at a police station, do I get fucked too? Ohbby~

I like a man in uniform!

 

Honestly, I've considered being a police officer, myself. I get that it's a lot of responsibility, but I doubt I could mess it up much worse than the people who don't give any fucks that stay on the force. Maybe if the whole "game design" thing doesn't work out. And I move. Far away.

I've considered it too, but I don't think I'd be able to stop worrying since I have constant anxiety anyways. The job I applied for is like a data entry/background check kinda job.

But few things make me more sad than corrupt, shitty cops. Its depressing both because their job is supposed to help people and it gives the actual good cops a bad name. Some people just can't handle that shit though :c

I can't tell if you're joking or being a legitimate asshole. Don't forget, Azure spent years homelessness on the streets, no doubt he had a lot of run-in's with them, so I'd assume he knows what he is talking about.  

[Toshabi]

So how do you plan to fornicate with law enforcement?

I was joking, don't worry. I'm not that much of a dick. And I didn't know that anyways.

Go easy on Mr. Fox. He's foreign and was tragically born without a sense of humor. Though, lord knows he tries.

I'm totally fine

Close, but no. Sadly it's a side-effect of time spent in this culture. Nice try, though.

It's okay *pat pat*. There are still people on the forum that think you are witty and creative. Just don't forget to add in your :V to every post you make!

If it happens, it won't be consensual (except in Menty's case)

Toshabi did it once. He turned a motorcycle cop to a wheel chair cop.

 

But then again that was just part of the script in my ametuer porno class.

Platonically.

[Kaedal]

Can't say I've ever had a bad experience with the police, but I imagine that's probably a cultural thing. Cops in the US seem very... harsh.

For fucks sake, Toshabi, it's an amateur porn class, not an armature porn class.

[Wrecker]

I hate to hear about shit like that, nobody deserves to lose a family member. You sound like a tough person. I don't have much to comment otherwise.

[Toshabi]

It WAS an armature porno class, R-tard. That's why there was so many chairs for props. God.

[Clove Darkwave]

Yeah people suck.

[Vallium]

uhhh, that was a sympathy like, not a sadism like.

[MissFleece]

When my grandfather was murdered by my uncle, we told the police exactly where he was and who helped him. They didn't attempt AT ALL to put any of them in jail, and only tried to arrest my uncle when he was at a public restaurant with my grandfather's credit card, a day later. He had a gun behind the dumpster of the place because he was waiting for his wife and daughter and shot himself when the police arrived. 

Good job police.

Another fucking story:

When I was 14 I lived at a horse rescue in the barn. My mom was their live in vet, and the boss lady asked us to dye a stolen horse black, brand it, and release it into the desert. My mother told the police, which I thought was a stupid idea because the boss lady was MARRIED to a cop. Of course they cover it up, and in one day we find ourselves homeless, without a phone (work phone) without a car (work car) and without any of the animals that were ours. I learned later that she let another dog rip apart my tiny fox terrier Patches. We lived in a horse stall for a couple weeks at the fair until we could sell enough to get on a bus to Florida. Thank god we knew the people who lived at the fair (they all trained race horses, it was awesome. One dude named Claude taught me how to day ride and his wife was named Bonnie, I thought that was hilarious), they kept it hush hush that we were living there. It was winter, but I was from Michigan so I was fine in Arizona winter, there wasn't even snow. 

Either way, fuck the police. 

[#00Buck]

Police Truck is an awesome song.

[Zeke]

Sad to hear shit like that happen to you OP, and even shittier that they didn't release any autopsy stuff that your family's entitled to have. What's worse is that the assholes are still on the street.

 

About 2 years ago, my sister was assaulted by a police officer in DC. She had entered a McDonalds at the wrong time when a group of girls were harassing the staff and incidentally threw a cup at one of the workers, it missed and hit the police officer in line. The four girls bolted and the police officer ran after them, rammed into my sister and proceeded to beat, spray her with mace, and Taze her for "resisting, assaulting, and reached for his gun" . Some friends of the family decided to represent the case and displayed the security footage at the McDonalds and determined that the police officer was in the wrong and the PD had to pay for damages and such, but the police officer was not let go despite he had a LONG record of abusing citizens, mostly women. 

I told that story to a person that was a police fanatic, and she said that maybe my sister deserved it. 

Shitty cops like that make it hard to trust the law because you are not sure what they will do to you. 

[Kellie Gator]

srsly tho, that's depressing ass fuck, Eggy. Sorry to hear, it must be awful to be scared of the police in the US. :[

[Kinare]

Yeah... sadly, there's a lot of bad cops out there and the few good ones get overshadowed by the bad. It's a shame more isn't done to reward the ones who try to do the right thing and actually care about people.

What I think is a shame is that people are so blind that it's impossible for them to replace the word "cop" with "people" and realize nothing changes. In any group of people that are empowered there's going to be a bunch of assholes. Some of them are cool and some of them are glorious people though.

Cops, Politicians, Management, etc. it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter what's in their hands or what rags are on their body, people are people and the ability to exert any power over others just seems to turn out this way sometimes.

Aye, this is true. Even without special clothes or titles there's a lot of people who choose to do bad things and make some sort of power over people with weapons or other means of fear. No matter what the case may be, I would hope for more good things to be recognized than bad, but bad stuff gets ratings yo.

It's just that a smart person would tell you to distrust and be wary around authority figures and that knowledge is power (which means knowledge about you is power over you, don't forget that). Thread titles like this just make you look like a moron.

[Clove Darkwave]

I'd like to add that people being people also applies to people being lazy as shit and taking the easiest way out of getting their job "done". It's extra-shitty when people who are supposed to be working for the good of us all do that, but I don't know how you'd change that.

[Zaraphayx]

If the police stopped existing for a week half of you would be dead by dawn lol

Only in a perfect world could it be changed completely and we're far from that fo sho. Best we could realistically hope for is reduction, but just how much of a reduction can only be theorized and you could even argue it can only get worse.

[Wolflich]

I doubt it would be anywhere near that interesting.

Prosecution isn't a matter that is up to the police, it's up to the District Attorney.  The decision of which charges to proceed with was almost certainly decided by the DA, not the police.

 

[Ginpanther]

This is correct. Stuff like this was taught in my civics class during junior year, and should be common knowledge. Do schools even teach civics classes anymore? Do we need to bring back Schoolhouse Rock to educate the masses?

[Azure]

nah not really

most people arent criminals, they are cowards, they just hang their head and lumber on through their own sad little world

though im fairly sure that the shooting of black people would go up regardless, since now the police arent there to do it, the rightwinger gun nuts would take up the mantle

in fact if you replaced cops with security guards, there would be so little difference it's scary

because in truth the cops arent there to protect you, YOU protect you

when the need for police is immediate, they are minutes away

and then youre dead, maimed, raped, robbed, etc

but im sure they will gladly take a report

I just hate how police can do anything and get away with it because of this "cops stick together" mentality.

[nurseeyeroll]

The police and the DPS reports have a an influence over the District attorneys on whether or not to convene a Grand Jury in a District Court.  Red and Milo were ran over by a retired corrections officer that owned a local doughnut shop that served peace officers free coffee.  Granted the shop is allegedly "sold" now. There is definitely a "blue code" and peace officers protect their Own. Red's Truck was impacted directly and there was a turning lane.

[Lucyfish]

What happened with Tess and Ryan's killer will always make me despise American law enforcement just a little. That man should be behind bars for double-manslaughter.

[Zeke]

Jesus fuck!

[Lucyfish]

I still have a hell of a lot of trouble looking at the images. What that guy did was blatantly his fault and he'll see none of the punishment because "lol cop"

[nurseeyeroll]

The DPS officer Chance Ensminger does not acknowledge the turning lane in his report.  He blatantly blames RED and MILO does not acknowledge 2 witnesses that verbalized seeing the flashers on the front and the back. The Erath County District Attorney Alan Nash stated "there but the grace of God go I"  about being distracted messing with the radio..  We will see if he presents to the Grand Jury.  You can see the skid marks of Red's truck being pushed by Carl Garret's truck. Red's was trying to remove the spare under the Ford.

Thank god, I was afraid to say it first, but yeah, I'm also super uncomfortable with those photos being dropped into this thread. o___o

[TheGreatFanatic]

God, I've met some cops out there that have been really messed up.

One time a cop was 'helping' out my aunt a few years ago, and legit molested her.

For some weird-ass reason she decided to stay in that town until a few months ago when she suicided. A lot of shit happens in my family-.-...
