Cops Thread

I should have posted this three weeks ago right after it happened, but this was just a farce up in Minnesota. After the Gophers won the NCAA Hockey semi-final, a bunch of kids in one of the campus bar/restaurant areas got out of hand (Gee. Drunken kids and mischief. Who'd a thunk it?) and the U administration and the cops made this big deal of "This better not happen again after the championship game on Saturday!" Sooooooooo, why don't you just wave a red flag in front of a bull.

Long story short. Gophers lose championship game. Kids take to the streets. Cops are there in force. The local ten o'clock news on every outlet has got someone live on the scene and they won't break away--even for the weather report (and weather is almost akin to religion in Minnesota). Chopper 4, Chopper 5, Chopper 9, and Chopper 11 are all trying to avoid a collision as they film the scene from above. Cops in riot gear. Cops on horseback. Paddy wagons with doors wide open and ready to rumble. I'm old and I thought the response resembled the police reaction to the demonstrations in response to Nixon's mining of Haiphong harbor.

Hard to pick someone to cheer for here: Drunken white students who probably hail from the suburbs vs. Overzealous cops. It's easy here. Have a few extra cops. Nail the kids who damage property (and there were a few of those). And let things cool down. Instead, cops basically force a confrontation with drunk kids, who (as drunken kids are wont to do) take the bait and lie down in front of the police cars and police mounted on horses. It was absolutely farcical.

AA, you preach accountability and personal responsibility like I do. You have to admit what this girl did was stupid. She committed a few felonies right there. I'm not saying the cop is innocent but if she would had just pulled over like most reasonable people would do none of this would had happened. What's the worse that would had happened? I imagine coming from a party in a field she'd probably catch a DUI and a small drug charge. She Would had been out the jail the next morning.

Let the cop have his day in court but the girl did hit him with her car which is a big crime if the DA is in a bad mood

I know that, but if he would have done the logical (common sense which cops lack) thing and call in help, he would not be in trouble and we would not have a dead teenager and other traumatize teenagers. More importantly a town that hate his guts and give cops a bad name is the result.
 
Supposedly his back up was driving all the people walking in the woods back to Thier cars so they wouldn't get hit by a drunk.There were more cops on the scene who were pulling people over for DUI.

Also the girl driver had a previous DUI and one of the guys in her car had a warrant out for his arrest. Of course the driver and the guy with a warrant didn't want to be stopped.

Put the cop in front of a jury. if the cop shoot the girl fleeing in a car because he felt his life or others lives were at risk he has that right. There were people walking up and down the street of the party. If she was so out of it she tried to run a cop over with her car, whose to say she wouldn't had hit someone else walking down the street?

I'm not sticking up and being pro-cop I'm just saying that the girl was driving drunk and tried to run a cop over with her car. People need to be more accountable in Thier actions. She was wrong and sometimes when you play with fire you get burnt. Sometimes doing dumb things leads to tragedy

The problem is that you're taking the Cops word as the word of God. And it isn't. Cops are human, they make mistakes and like other humans they try to cover things up. Cops also are notorious dicks to people in their late teens and early 20s.

And what evidence is there that she was driving drunk? I've yet to see a report that she was or are you just assuming since she was coming from a party that she was drunk? Maybe she was the DD and being responsible? Usually (though not always) people with DUIs wise up and do everything in their power to not get another because they know how devastating they are.

Basically what likely happened. This cop got hero cop mode, when someone dared to drive through instead of calling it in because of his backup being preoccupied, or hopping in his car to pull her over. He did what was best in his power to get her to stop. Including according to a witness jumping on the hood of the car. I don't know about you but if someone jumped on the hood of my car one of 2 things would happen. I'd hit the gas or the brake. Depending on a variety of factors, such as where my foot was. I'm not saying she was in the right, but I've yet to see a reason for deadly force.
 
Was walking downtown the other night, and 2 cops were walking around together and these 3 teenagers who I assume were high had the giggles, all 3 couldn't have been older than 17.

Anyways one was looking at one of the cops and kept giggling, and the cop across the street turned around and said "What the f--- are you looking at?"

Then the teens said "haha what?!" and the cop stood there and lifted his shoulders so as to look tough and said it again "I said what the f--- are you looking at?"

Kids walked away, the baldy testosterone cop tried to walk over and pursue while the other cop just ran up grabbed and said "Dude it's not worth it what are you doing?"

Pissed cop said "motherf---ers!!".

It was so bizarre, the cop wanted to do something and kept instigating, and if pursued and assaulted them would've no doubt used self defense card.

I watched the entire thing unfold, as I was walking up to the cops to ask them where a particular bar was, but when I saw that happen I just tried to avoid it.

In college, I was walking in a sheetz parking lot. A sheriff car drives by, and in my drunken state I said "what's up Sheriff?"

Dude slammed on the break, got our of his car. Put his hand on his gun and said "What'd you say to me kid?"

Scared ****less, I said "I just hey". He then got back into his car and drove away.

WTF?
