Neverending **** the Police thread.

18 year old gets 6600 in savings bonds. Goes to the bank to cash them. Bank calls the police. Cop show up and beat up his girlfriend. This is just absolutely not acceptable. The bank employees need to be charged with misuse of 911. Just because these kids shared a similar color vehicle to someone else who defrauded a different Chase bank is not probable cause for an officer to search and detain them. She should have acted better but a cop acting like that when you are not doing anything remotely illegal can cause panic in people. Good on the other cops for not letting the criminal cop make this worse by arresting the victim to try and save his ass.
 




This is a good example of the problem with policing. The kid acted wrong but he is 14. Whats racist about this was about searching them for drugs so they could arrest them not protecting or serving anyone.
 
I think the only difference is they will be sending unarmed professionals like mental health specialists and medics to calls where armed police arent neccesary and often just escalate the situation. I believe some small town in Oregon has done this but I have not looked into its results yet.

Remember when police said there was a war on cops? Now they are really seeing a war on cops. Nothing we say here has any effect on what goes on out there. This is what I have been warning was coming for years now. Its predictable outcome of bad policy. Instead of working towards solutions we kept doubling down on that failed policy and blame the predictable bad consequences on not being tough enough on crime. Heres a revolutionary thought. Introduce the option for canning like they do in Singapore for minor crime.

If we could get the public to understand that the broken system is creating racist cops and the cops to understand the broken system is creating criminals we might get somewhere.

I'm fine with having alternatives. I just don't want to see police not responding to other emergencies where they might be able to arrive quicker and render first aid.
