Stupid Cops

[JoePa]

If you want to see how stupid some cops can be - watch this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE8XmHAP4j4 - no wonder people are so fed up with these morons -

Didn’t see any stupid cops in that video..., unless of course they didn’t check for ticks after !!!

The old lady can't speak or understand English - so they tase her - then they put her in handcuffs when she isn't a threat to anyone - she is 87 years old - is this the way you handle such a situation - I don't think so - I don't think it would take much reasoning to determine what type of person your dealing with when you first encounter her -

Wow. Was this in the 'land of the free'? How ironic.

In all honesty, I think there are just too many cops, budgets way too high.
Then they go try raiding stupid things like this.

Unfortunately, we don’t see the initial encounter.... again, assumptions are made from a partial video....

We don’t know what the initial call was.....don’t assume anything from a partial video.....

Just get on you tube and bring up some of the videos that are posted about the behavior of cops - you can just imagine what went on before people started filming them or when they didn't have body cameras - you give some people a uniform, a badge and a gun along with some authority and you have a problem - too many so-called good cops stand around and watch a rouge cop mistreat a citizen and do nothing - I think cops should be liable personally for situations they cause when they are sued - well the people have had enough and are calling for extensive reform - the day when they can negate the constitutional rights of citizens is over -

Nope! I ain't buyin' that an 87 year old senior is a threat of any kind unless she was armed with a firearm and aiming it at officers. Quite clearly,the training modules allowing this kind of interaction is seriously flawed and needs to be expunged. The use of CEW's was never intended to be a force of compliance under all circumstances. They were designed to be used as an alternate "last resort" to deadly force under extremely limited circumstances. Police attitudes,especially,in the US,need a complete reset. Hiring and training criteria need an enema.

I gather that she was trespassing on the property of a Boys and Girls club picking weeds - probably dandelion - people make salads with them - no matter what the call was for it couldn't have been that grievous that you have to respond the way they did - you don't treat an old lady like that
