My Brother is a Cop and It's Getting Bad

[WillowTree]

Bad time to be a cop

They have lost the trust and goodwill of the public. Much of it is undeserved but the public has reached an “enough is enough” point.

It will take a while to patch things up.

They have lost the goodwill of the fucking democrats!

People used to give cops the benefit of the doubt.

Events of the last few weeks have caused people to lose that trust as we see cops abusing power

So ewe think walking up and shooting them in the back of the head is fine. We got it.

We were supposed to have dinner at my brother's house yesterday, but he called me up when he got home from his shift and cancelled. He wanted to just chill after the shift he worked yesterday. He patrols a higher crime neighborhood, which is mostly blacks, and he said the past couple of weeks have gotten really bad. People aren't respectful at all. They're rude and belligerent towards him. He's been called names, taunted, it's been constant chaos. He stopped a car yesterday because the guy came up with a warrant in the system. Immediately, when he had the guy step out of his car he started screaming something about George Floyd and then became nasty and resistant. My brother and his partner, who arrived shortly after, had to tackle the guy to the ground in order to get him restrained. While this was going on he said a dozen or so blacks came running up on them, whipping out their phones recording, calling them names, taunting them. He said it was super nerve racking because in the middle of the skirmish he had no idea if any of these other people, who had no business being up that close to them, were going to run up and attack them from behind. He said it was like being in the middle of a zoo. He is starting to consider leaving the department at this point because it's become incredibly dangerous for them.

And my brother is Asian and the officer who responded to back him up is Hispanic, so this wasn't even a white cop thing; it's just an anyone in uniform thing. We're told we should be judging people by their character and not their skin color, but apparently these same people think it's fine to judge anyone in a uniform as evil.

Despite all the craziness we need good police officers. If he really loves law enforcement he should stick it out. If he doesn't he should find a new line of work because the next couple of years are going to be hard on cops. The actions of a few have come roost on all cops good and bad.

No one said such a thing... You be a racist... and not to smart on top of that...

In other words you had nothing intelligent to say and decided to spin like a top...

No, i mocked your fellow trump asslicker by imitating him. What is really funny is watching your dumb ass get mad at me, but not your fellow trump asslicker.

Why would he run the plates? Did the guy do something wrong? How did he know who was in the car?

..they run plates all the time.....I was driving my daughter to her friend's house with our just bought used car.....he pulled us over right in front of her friend's house---[ hahahahah ] we did NOTHING wrong....we had our old plates on the ''new car''--perfectly legal
..I'm WHITE
.....another time I had new stickers for the plates in the glove compartment ..I forgot to put them on.......the very day they expired, a ticket was on the car
..ANOTHER time: they use street cleaners once a month....they have city members outside on the day they clean the streets--if your car isn't moved = ticket
..I moved out of there long ago

It most certainly is NOT legal to put the tags off your old car onto your new car. Not in any state. Every state has temporary tags for that situation. You can run them for 30 days before having to register the vehicle .

It is if you have vanity plates.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

Why would he run the plates? Did the guy do something wrong? How did he know who was in the car?

If there are no active calls they'll run plates at random. Sometimes they'll do it if the driver is driving suspiciously.

"driving suspiciously"???
what does that even mean???

thats a reason right there to not trust cops,,,

Timothy McVeigh was caught because a sharp eyed trooper noticed he was driving suspiciously .

Ignoramus

He stopped him because the car he was driving didn't have a license. Interesting enough, even though he was doing something illegal he told the officer he had a loaded handgun and didn't get killed unlike Philandro Castillo who had done nothing wrong.

For some strange reason the racist white propagandists in the media minimize the officer's name from the HYPED news.

Jeronimo Yanez is the name.

Guess why that name isn't repeated over and over and over and over again.

You know what? Don't. Please go tell some Africans how bad it is for you in America.

Thousands protest after Philando Castile shooting verdict; 18 arrested

Leave it to one of you mentally enslaved to not get the point.

Have you prepared your escape to Cuba from this land of tyranny? Let us know how things work out.

I'm not going anywhere. You work to change what is wrong with where you are.

Yeah, of course. Like the hundreds of thousands of people that die attempting to escape those socialist paradises that you want here.

You really are stooge of white liberal propaganda. Go find an actual African and tell him how bad things are here in America with 7 Elevens and KFC restaurants and how bad it is for commie Kaepernick who is being paid $50 million dollars as a virtue signaling victim by a company that has a well documented horrific reputation of labor practices with their factories in Vietnam and Pakistan.

They may need to be more disgusted by you than they already are.

You know how pawns work in Chess?

You are the one arguing the authoritarian position.

You are arguing from an unappreciative, spoiled, overly privileged, utterly brainwashed, from white liberal propaganda position.

Ought to be clearer to you how the white liberals use your race as tools and that is all.

My race is caucasion.

My race is American

American is your nationality.

if the driver is driving suspiciously

If the driver is drunk or under the influence of marijuana or street drugs, or if there's an actual traffic infraction, that's one thing, but otherwise it's time for the cop to move right along with the flow of traffic and look for trouble somewhere else.

1. Without stopping the vehicle, and without clouds of smoke ala Cheech and Chong, there's no way to know for sure if a driver is under the influence. Therefore, if the vehicle wanders side to side within its lane, does sudden minor course corrections, or follows too closely behind the car in front or is going dangerously slower than traffic speeds, the cop is well within the bounds of proper execution of his duty to stop it to at least ascertain whether the driver is impaired in any way or is distracted.

I was racially profiled as a white person. Driving back home after taking a final in grad school, and because I worked all day I took night classes at the university. I had to drive through a black area of the city to get to my exit to the highway. White cop stopped me and asked what I was doing on this area at 10:30 PM. Why? Because he knew the only white people in this side of the city at this time of night were buying drugs. Good police work. He ran my license and told me to go. I was not angry. I told him "thank you officer and have a good evening." Floyd or Brook's would have attacked him.

According to one of my instructors that is profiling and is unconstitutional

My son is a half Asian cop in his early 30's and works in a city which has its share of crime. He is not experiencing any of that.

Perhaps it is a matter of how the department handles business.

Curious... Which state would he be in? City?

The cops brought this upon themselves.

However, they have the power to fix it.

Just follow, and be subject to, the rules and laws themselves that they expect the American people to follow.

They've been lawless without consequence for too long.

Blacks brought this on themselves and they're too stupid to fix it

It's the media that created this narrative and hysteria

The media is the biggest supporter of the cops outside of the union. What the heck are you smoking dude?!??

 

[Dana7360]

I would suggest that your brother is getting a taste of what black people go through every day.

Black people do NOT go through this everyday. Their biggest problem blacks have in this country is themselves and their decayed subculture

I've seen it happen with my own eyes.

It's happened to me and I'm not black.

I worked music concerts and other events for 35 years. I've seen it at work and not at work. I've experienced it at work and not at work.

I have friends who are black and they have experienced it. I've been with them a couple times when it happened to them.

There is a problem with some police in America. Not all but enough to make the rest have to deal with the consequences of the behavior of the bad ones.

I can tell you, I can't stand telling a cop something and not being believed. Being forced to prove what I say to a cop shouldn't happen like that. They should believe something when they're told by that person that they are also working and supposed to be where they are. Or anything else. I got sick of it and just started carrying paperwork to prove who I am and why I am there. It gets old after a while. Especially when I'm well known at the places I worked.

Just because you may not see it or experience it or because your brother and those he works with doesn't do it or you don't see them do it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It does. More often than you think.

Sounds like some of your behavior is why you have had interactions with the police.

No I'm a professional photographer. Most musicians want photographers from Rolling Stone Magazine and Getty Images. In fact, I was the first person contacted to cover those concerts. I worked with the greatest musicians in rock and roll for 35 years. I'm well known in music photography and music in general. People say it's an honor for them to have me working with them. Others just say I'm the best fucking photographer in rock and roll.

When you first arrive you have to get a credential for that one specific event. There have been many times that I didn't have that credential yet and the police gave me a hard time. Mostly the ones who are new and didn't know who I was. All those who weren't new, knew who I was and never gave me any problem. In fact some would clear the road to one amphitheater for me to get there in time. Or other things so that I could do my job.

When those people find out who I am, they profusely apologize. A few have gotten in trouble for trying to prevent me from doing my job.

No you have no idea what you're talking about.

Ok Annie.

By the way, I bet I have more cameras than you. In fact, it wouldn't even be close.

Good for you. I hope you use them and get a lot of wonderful images with them.

How many do you have and which ones do you have?

Have you been involved with photography long?

*applause*


Like, all of it. That's the thing. That's why people lash out. They are powerless to change it. It's just so asymmetrical. You, sir, have arrived at the crux of the issue.

They have ALL the power to make this better.

The actions of a few have come roost on all cops good and bad.

No, it's the actions of all the good cops who don't police the bad cops that have come home to roost on them.

I lost that benefit of the doubt in the mid 1980s.

It was cops who use their sirens or lights dishonestly. Just to get through a light or traffic.

I lived in So Ca for a couple years in the 80s. It was my first experience of seeing cops do that. After a while I stopped believing those lights and sirens. I always pulled over but more than half the time, those lights or siren were turned off just as soon as that cop got through the traffic or stop light.

Sure it's a small thing but that's how trust is eroded.

Then through the years of more experiences with watching police do things then lie about it or seeing them harass people or me. After years it wears trust away. Until there is none.
