Anyone Done Policing Yet?
But don't worry. The paper ran an explanation!
- A Philadelphia-area newspaper regrets publishing a Santa cartoon that has drawn the ire of local law enforcement.
The cartoon published in Sunday’s Bucks County Courier Times features a line of black children lined up asking Santa Claus to "Keep us safe from the police."
Drawn by nationally-syndicated political cartoonist Chris Britt, the cartoon references a relationship of distrust between the black community and police recently spotlighted in the Ferguson, Cleveland and Staten Island cases of black men dying at the hand of police officers.
Well, let's see:
- Ferguson - cop killed an attacker;
- Staten Island - guy died of heart attack an hour post-arrest after fighting with police;
- Cleveland - kid pointed toy gun with the orange safety indicator removed/painted over at a cop
Of those, only the last one could be (or has been) considered questionable as there is an allegation that the 9-1-1 caller said it might be a toy. Bad tactics, avoidable tragedy, etc. A sad set of circumstances.
But hey, fine, insult, demean, piss all over the cops. When your garage, apartment or house gets broken into, don't call the police to walk through and make sure the bad guys are gone, the basement is clear, the windows are re-secured. You'll be fine sitting up all night in shifts with the spouse comforting the kids for the next few years.
Next time little Johnny, Jamal, Amir, whoever is lost, be sure you get a hold of your neighborhood crack addicts, dope dealers and child molesters to go look for him. After a decade or so of therapy, maybe he'll tell you what happened when he couldn't approach a cop to bring him home.
When you get dragged into an alley at knife point and relieved of your wallet, your dignity, your life, thank your own private deity that you didn't have to call those racist police. You can say with pride that you kept faith with the downtrodden and exploited masses, while the downtrodden and exploited enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Nothing that he can do? He could apologize. But liberals don't apologize except to each other. Maybe there should be a protest outside his home. Or better yet he should get deliveries of food.

Hey Rahm and McNumbnuts...
Wanna really cut crime stats and police manpower and contact with citizens...
Get the insurance companies to let their clients make claims without a police report. No RD number it didn't happen but if they got a check to cover the loss then let it go. Why should we go and risk confronting a burglar and getting sued.
Hey, guys. This shit is not healthy.
I'm off Facebook. I quit watching the news. I quit reading the news.
It's Christmastime! The Hawks are winning! Spend your energy with family, read something by your favorite author, work out! Be healthy!
It's Open Season to HATE your local police department, and you can do NOTHING about it.
Tune. It. Out.
Lord knows, we have enough daily stress without adding this latest NONSENSE to the pile.
Stay safe.
(fart noise)
Kid in Ohio didn't point the gun at the cop, video clearly shows that. He did point it and show it off to someone walking past. My guess is he was trying to show the cops it was fake. but how is a cop supposed to know that - especially if the dispatcher decides to leave that key part out when it was suggested/assumed by the caller allegedly multiple times?
I've been done policing for a LONG time and it's getting easier and easier by the day in this anti-police hating climate.
I wonder if the guy who drew this cartoon is even black, I doubt it. So, my question is what do white liberals know about the relationship between the black community and the police? Clearly not a damn thing. Im willing to bet that if we went door to door in the black community, we would find plenty of people who are glad we're there. Sure, there are others that would feel differently, but those more than likely are the criminals.
Hard to believe that there's still dummies going out their way and busting their asses in the ghettos, getting hurt chasing dope dealers, etc. GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT YOU FOOLS. Be REACTIVE and respond to document the crimes that the blacks are committing on other blacks. Save the proactivity for where it's actually appreciated and deserved. Keep the taxpayers safe and go the extra mile for them, not the savages that motherfuck you, spit at you, fight you, shoot at you and would kill you in an instant if the opportunity ever presented itself. Anyone doing a lick of anything proactive in any black neighborhood needs their fucking head examined. All you need to do is answer your calls and make sure you and your partner go home each day in the same shape which you arrived for work. And then be sure to take care of the homeland, family, friends and worthy neighbors. Fuck the rest of these bastards.
YOU CAN REST EASY AND SLEEP WELL KNOWING THAT YOU DIDNT CREATE THIS ATMOSPHERE - OBAMA, HOLDER, JACKSON, SHARPTON AND THE LIKE MADE THIS MESS. LET THEM FIGURE OUT A WAY TO FIX IT.
A part of me wants to completely shut it down and not do shit, but that would be unfair to the citizens who actually do appreciate the police. So, here's my proposal, let's change the greeting when people call 911. For now on when people call 911, the call taker should recite the greeting, "911 what's your emergency and do you support the police or the criminals?". That way we know what kind of police service will be rendered.
White liberals are nothing but a bunch of cuckold s.
If you don't like the police next time call a crackhead!.
"You cops knew it would be like this
when you signed up to take the job
so either stop complaining and get
back to work or stfu and quit already!"
Do whatever you need to do to survive

Police like you have no friends.
Give them the bland, dry and flavorless
Policing they've been demanding.
Respond. Record. Retreat.
Arrest only on a signed complaint.
Do not engage an offender unless
you have the complaint signed first.
According to the county courts of late, Policemen are not credible complainants or victims. A Policeman's signature on a complaint means shit between two shoes on the wrong feet to a Cook County judge.
Cook County finding of No Probable cause = A chassis view of the DOJ civil rights violation bus as it passes overhead.

The cartoon should say, keep us safe from our peers as thousands are killed each year by their own peers.
More young black men are killed by other young black men each week in Chicago than are killed by police in the entire nation during that same week.
National police slow down day 09 Jan 2014.
It would be so great if the entire nation would "de police"
Let these politicians explain to the ghetto masses and the reverends they just received what they asked for.
All the major depts across the nation's unions should all release statements saying "your all on your own"
If things don't improve somewhat by spring time this should be organized in some way
When do we "the police" and I mean the entire nation stand together as one represented by our unions and say enough is enough already.
Fuck being the nice guys.
People don't like us fine but they have to respect us!
Hey guys if you get a chance please call Nordstrom main corporate customer service number at 1 206 628 2111 and thank them for standing up to the anti Police liberals. They fired one of thier employees who posted on Facebook that white Officers should be killed at thier homes in front of thier families. They were very receptive to my call so please be respectful. Thanks Road Troop
Your Betters tolerate you as a necessary evil, just like Maria their illegal immigrant housekeeper, and Juan the undocumented gardener. Just make sure you bow and scrape obsequiously when you encounter them on the streets.
Don't Worry,

Amen to all of the above! God bless our police and keep them safe always.
SCC. I'll admit I don't know all of the circumstances of the Cleveland shooting, but that is a very slippery slope to open yourself up policing based on how these calls are dispatched. That can be spun any which way the wind blows. We don't have the time in fractions of a second to determine if a gun is fake or not. I'm not going to ask either. It boils down to personal responsibility and not pointing a gun (real or fake) at the police or ANYBODY for that matter. All lives matter. lol.
Most of these call takers aren't too good, or don't give a fuck.
We have dispatchers with marbles in their moufs giving you the low grade information. The gun MIGHT be fake? Fuck that. A juvenile black is carrying a gun. OK. So we have to make split second decisions already and now Holder wants us to change our game plan how we interact exclusively with blacks? Why? Is he telling us they are predisposed to violence? They might not listen to your instructions so be aware of that? Makes no sense.
These "might be fake calls" will hang officers in court and cost hesitant coppers their lives.
That BS starts at the top. When the accidental potus and AG bash the police, why shouldn't everyone?
watch Demolition Man.... When I first got on, an old timer told me that was what this job was becoming, thought he was crazy at the time, but I am sure it is only a matter of time before we have to trade our guns in for stun batons
Don't get sucked into all this bullshit, it'll pass. Back in the day, whenever there was a rogue cop who got caught shaking somebody down, the entire department would get labeled and the citizenry was never shy about throwing a cheap shot referencing the doings of the bad cop. But for years on this blog, you've had coppers talking about going to John Kass or other members of the media. I've read them and reminded readers that the media are not your friends, they're a "for profit" business based on ratings and circulation and if you thing they'll rally to your cause, regardless of how correct the police are, you're fooling yourself. All this thats going on now is shit, and like shit, it passes. Keep the faith, and do what you know is right. And when you read adversity, or see some sheathed with a demeaning t-shirt, just consider the source. The people that count know what the story is and the rest are just parasites. A safe, happy holiday to all of you and your families. And always make sure you got each others' backs.
Do Not believe the Hype.... it is Obama, and the usuall race baiter suspects, typical ghetto police haters, and white dirty liberal hippies doing this shit. Of course the liberal media is blowing this out of proportion.... But the majority of decent people have Not changed their perception of the police.
Don't call. Don't care.
the funniest part is the white Santa!
This thing is like a plague, even regular law abiding people are joining in. After that sgt killed that guy in the bar recently, a few people asked me "why did the sgt shoot that guy FOUR times?" Went to a family Xmas party & numerous relatives were questioning alleged police aggressiveness. People have no clue of the reality of the streets. I'M DONE!!!! They can all KMA!!!

THAT should be a bumper sticker. I'd buy a dozen.
Shorten it to:
Don't trust police? Call a thug.
Ask the kids, the young adults I've encountered what they felt when I, a white police officer was the 1st person to ever ask them "what do you want do with your life... what do you want to be when you grow up... you can be anything you want to be if you just work for it" 95% had never been asked that before! Astounding!
Their eyes slowly get wide as the light of hope grows ever so brightly. You can see the confusion and rush of emotions as they begin to feel self worth, pride, love, compassion, safety. Feelings parent(s), family, community should be providing.
First and foremost, it's MY life and fellow LEO ofc's lives. Then All lives matter when I'm on the streets. I see victims and offenders not black, white and brown. This gets harder as politicians question my use of force to enforce the laws they state i must enforce and some within certain communities that see me and my uniform as potential ghetto $$$$ lottery. The "singed complaints = physical arrest" mentality is finally getting through to me.
Stay safe everyone
Let the people of this city decide for themselves whether or not they want police service. Each precinct could vote on it just like being wet or dry. You don't want us in your neighborhood, just let us know. I have learned to ignor you all day, every day.
I'm so confused. Are we NOT supposed to go after maniacs waving guns around??
Hours of boredom, seconds of panic, years of second guessing and if you're lucky a few federal lawsuits to boot.

For those of you who are still in the district's working, please remember a few years back about transporting a shoplifter. STOP making the process easier for the security people at the big box store by letting them sign a complaint right there. Policy states that a complaint will be signed in the presence of a desk sergeant after such person swears to the facts on the form. Also guys, ask the arrestee prior to transporting to the station if he/she was mistreated by security. If so, call for a supervisor. It's these types of events that will jam you up and/or take some heavy time or even lose your job, for doing your job.
12/18/2014 12:31:00 AM
I completely agree with the above comment, and I add to it by saying, help yourself by looking at things from a different perspective.
All this so-called "hate" is mere jealousy, and we all know it. A police officer is a celebrity - everything he or she does is watched, recorded, and picked apart later.
But it's still the best job in the world, and everybody knows it.
That's why they're jealous.
Think positive thoughts, smile more, and count all your blessings. Like the above poster says, stop focusing on all the negativity out there.
Most of all, I want to thank SCC for all the work (he or she) puts into this blog. It's a lot of thankless hard work providing a forum like this, especially when you realize they get paid nothing and have the big boys foaming at the mouth to eliminate the blog.
SCC, I hope Santa brings you everything you want.
God bless us all and stay safe.
Someone with any artistic skills should do one exactly like that but with police asking Santa for protection from the African American communities...then put the statistics about how 90% of assaults and batteries against the police are committed by African Americans (despite making up only 12% of the population) that 85% of police related injuries on duty result from interactions with the African American community, that 79% of police murders are committed by African Americans...
Look, this "mistrust" is a two-way street, and the "healing" needs to come from both sides. It's time to educate the general public on how tough WE as law enforcement have it who work in African American communities.
Re-post but the first got buried...figure it fits in here, hope you don't mind SCC
South bend uniforms...selling "breathe easy...don't break the law" tee shirts to support law enforcement. Black city council are trying to force the store (owned by a copper) to stop selling them. I ordered 3. They're only. $7.50 each. News is all over this guy and im sure he's going to be subjected to harassment and damage now for showing support for the police....order one. You can order online. Show support for the GOOD GUY!!!
The country is doomed. Decency and civility are being sacrificed to keep the democrats in power.
Lets get this jagoffs address, and phone number so that we can all wish him a very Merry Christmas over, and over again !! A gift that will just keep giving !!
That cartoon should have the kids asking "Where's all our presents Santa?" and his reply would be "Someone broke into my workshop and stole everything. We decided to get rid of the police up here in the North Pole and run things on the 'honor system'."
So Obama had a hard time getting a taxi in Chicago
before he was POTUS, as Michelle states because
he was Black.
For six years he could have ordered the
Justice Department to Chicago to investigate
the racist taxi cab industry, but chose rather
to investigate police officers.
If your not part of the solution ,
your part of the problem.
The only Black person he's helped, is himself.
Wow,has this gone too far,we need the police,we need safety,I remember as a kid I wanted this .45 water gun my parents were so mean saying no,it looks like a real gun,I don't remember who was more insisting my mother or father,but I do remember being black on the south side of Chicago,near roseland,with a dream of being an F.B.I. Agent,but later becoming a Chicago police officer,I guess the moral of the story is here and easy to understand,somehow I needed to be guided and scolded and eventually I was thankful! retired and served 28 happy but sometimes tough years as a police officer and now am collecting a pension,retired guy here says if there are plenty of white guys that I loved working with and are my friends today,if this is possible,we need to get over this and move forward in kind and forgiveness and discover whatever it is to move forward in fairness.
What the cartoon doesn't show is their "parents,"
stealing shit from Santas sleigh !

But then again, I've been merely going thru the motions for quite some time now, as I saw the writing on the wall long before the current day anti-police phenomenon.
And consider me consigning for 1:12 AM. That's as gospel as it gets these days.

Let the silly and hateful people find out for themselves about the slippery slope behind the doors of no return.
Their screams for mercy and pleas for pity won't matter to the ones who beckoned them or to those who tried to warn them.
Besides... The morlock's sirens are loud by design to drown out the screams of those who glimpse the pit of chewed remains anyway.
Heh!
Viva Hate.
Done when I see a 6 year wonder working the Academy as an instructor
CPD a JOKE
A startling indicator that things have been intentionally broken beyond the ability of mere Policemen to fix or repair.
When it all comes undone in a big way, former Policemen will be hunted down on the streets because "it's all their fault" things have decayed to the point of coming undone.
Since they want to make it racial there is only one solution. Black cops police black people, hispanic cops police hispanic people, white cops police white people, asian, etc. This way the race card can't be played and the race baiters are happy.
How about keep us safe from each other! The police aren't killing everyone, just the fools that want to be killed.
Excellent post!

That was LAST year, you idiot.
my partner and I already put on our boat shoes and will be placing our card board cutouts of ourselves in the squad car as we go sit in the restaurant until midnight and then go to check off
especially if the dispatcher decides to leave that key part out when it was suggested/assumed by the caller allegedly multiple times?
12/18/2014 12:45:00 AM
No police should be sent to a kid playing with a toy in a park. If the CALLER knew it was a toy they WHY THE F IS THE POLICE GOING??? Call taker should NPS it immediately. Stop taking every stupid 911 call! Don't waste my MF'ing time.
Any police officer having a subscription to the Bucks County Courier Times should cancel their subscription immediately. Invite the cartoonist Chris Britt to Chicago to do a ride along with the police in Englewood or Fillmore on a Friday or Saturday night. I'm sure he wouldn't have the balls to accept. Tell him to bring a roll of toilet paper and clean shorts to clean up after he shits in his pants!
Here's the truth- the VAST majority of us civilians like and respect the police. The minority (in numbers, not race) protesters make lots of noise and are good for TV news ratings. Don't listen to the few, listen to the many.
Citizen here. I get just as frustrated at all this BS as you do (but of course I don't have to live it like you do). Just know that 95% of us are on your side. The liberal weenies own the media so it appears like a tidal wave of hate - but that is an illusion. The silent 95% of us smucks, that pay our taxes and raise families, are on your side. We need you and we know it.
That is all - as you were.
So what if the 911 caller said " it might be a toy"?!! That's not going to be a consideration in the split second decision making process when someone is pointing what looks like a weapon at you.
OT: How does Garry still have a job with over 50 people shot in Chicago in the last 6 days? And this goof will come on the TV and say crime is down. We really need a change in leadership on CPD. Garry and his two other over paid guys from NYC (Tracy and Miniotis) have worn out their welcome!
If u don't like the police, walk your own kid to school and don't bother us with safe passage BS routes
What if it said - keep us safe from black people?
The Communists, (media, obama, Hollywood, Democrats) are doing it intentionally
any toy gun can be changed into a real gun
someone points a gun at you , shoot , don't become a statistic
remember the chants from the community , they want DEAD COPS
take NO Chances
go home safe
"Of those, only the last one could be (or has been) considered questionable as there is an allegation that the 9-1-1 caller said it might be a toy."
SCC, I must say I'm disappointed with YOU putting that in there, what about the shitheads painting the ends of their guns orange so we hesitate or how about "they" call 911 as they do their robbery, etc. and say the offender has a "toy" gun, should we take the caller at their word? Fuck no, point a gun at a police officer and meet your maker (or for some of these people, Satan).

Huh?
I'm still laughing my a__ off at Kim Jung Unnh, or whatever you call that fat, sleek, Swiss-educated pervert and murderer, the deranged boy-king of one of the worst places in the world. Put Dennis in there in his usual woman's summer dress and earrings, staggering around with an $8,000 bottle of designer vodka and s__ting and puking on the rug of the best hotel in Pyongyang, as he did during his last visit.
Dennis can run the labor camps and the guided-missile program just as well, until the starving population -- with the army out in front -- turns on Jung Unnh and kills him, drags him down the palace steps and machine-guns him like the Romanians did to their dictator Ceaucescu (sp?) when they got tired of his s__t.
Last I heard, Kim Unnh's sister or someone was behind the wheel over there while he's in treatment.
NK batallions blowing bugles and shrieking "YANKEE YOU DIE!" will be coming down your chimney any minute.

Skeletonized hammer and extended no-bite grip safety. Flattened, serrated replacement mainspring housing. You could even see the "dovetails" and adjusting screws on the low-profile Bo-Mar rear sight.
...but not in half a second, you couldn't.
GUN!
>inevitable loud, messy consequences ensue<
Some time ago my wife's cousin and her husband were telling me that when they tell their son to do something they tell him that if he doesn't do it they will call the police on him. They really thought that it was funny! These are "college educated" people. When I asked them what is their son going to do if he meets stranger danger, they just stared at each other. Real smart people!
These "might be fake calls" will hang officers in court and cost hesitant coppers their lives.
12/18/2014 03:42:00 AM
***Very true. So 19-p it, as an anonymous call gives you no reasonable suspicion anyway. Plus, it is now legal to carry a gun and you must "ask" the suspect if they are in possession of one. Therefore,
It MIGHT BE a toy. No crime, so why bother calling? (19-p)
Society's Officer Higher standard states that YOU must suffer great bodily harm OR die BEFORE it is acceptable for you to respond, only in a safe humane manner.
Perhaps singing lullabies until the gun or knife wielding suspect falls asleep and releasing said weapon is acceptable?
"Keep us safe from the police" when little kids die in their beds from bullets coming through the walls, gangbangers wildly shooting off a gun in any and all directions in the middle of a densely populated neighborhood...
Yeah, 12:26:00 is right. Chris Britt deserves at least a couple of truckloads of food here.
Sorry, newspaper. There is no "explanation" possible for something this destructive.
In the meantime...
Cops help play Santa in Chicago: 'It signifies that they care'
"It was a dream come true for 10-year-old Jeremiah Mejia: He was allowed to roam freely through a South Side Target store and pick out anything he wanted.
"He quickly grabbed “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” and the latest version of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” among other movies and dropped them into a shopping cart.
“I see you like movies,” Chicago police Officer Sabrina King said to Jeremiah, as she escorted him through the store.
"The boy, not thinking only about himself, picked out a gift for his dad.
"Jeremiah was one of 10 lucky children to receive $100 gift cards as part of the Chicago Police Department's sixth annual “Heroes and Helpers” holiday shopping spree at the Target store in the city's McKinley Park neighborhood."
"Brenda Davis brought her 13-year-old daughter, Jadiyah, to the event so the girl could use her gift card to get a pair of headphones and clothes for the season.
"The mother and daughter were touched by the presence of the Deering District officers, who spent time with the children as they chose their gifts. To the mom, it meant she got to see police officers in a different, lighthearted setting rather than responding to the violence on Chicago's streets."

Cops, from a civilian that reads your blogs - don't sweat it.

Thank you for everything you do.
Police supporters urge businesses to stop advertising in Bucks County Courier Times
"The people behind a Facebook page called “Standing Up Against BCCT’s [Bucks County Courier Times] Attack on Law Enforcement” says that “it is not our intent to encourage financial harm to any business or the local economy for innocently advertising in this paper …[but] each proprietor will ultimately decide whether they are comfortable supporting the publication of this cartoon, and the subsequent gain or loss of business exercised by their clientele.”
"...I’m told that the police union president has told departments in the newspaper’s circulation area to stop giving information to Courier Times reporters."

Bullshit Cartoon
My encounters with the police have been mixed. One guy was so nice I thought he should find another line of work, many who were professional in their approach, some who were irritating, one who gave me an moving traffic violation that was based on a lie by the cop, and one copper who was so hostile I thought him unprofessional for that reason alone.
Whatever the case of the policemen on the beat, it is plain enough that this current stuff is way over the top. I am surprised that the police still work at their job as much as they do. By now I would think you guys would be like Sgt. Schultz in the old Hogan's Heroes TV series. You know, "I saw nothing! I know nothing!"
The only answer for the racist police is only black officers in black communities. Its been said before but why not put it into play. The south and west side would be better served and racism would not be a factor anymore. I am sure that the black officers in the CPD would be happy to leave other slower districts to better serve their people.
The people will get the police department they deserve.
Was driving up to a potential suspect with a gun a part of our training also? What's even sadder is that Ohio is an open carry state. The guy sounded like he had clout or Clevelands background check's are weaker than Walmart's.
Hi SCC n Kids. 10 g here. Funny caricature wiff da chilens axin White Santa for protection. From whom? Da Poleeses? maybe from da homies?

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2014/dec/14/south-pittsburg-approves-broad-social-network/278036/
SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. — Over the past year, city leaders say their work has been hampered by criticism and lies on social media.
At its December meeting, the South Pittsburg City Commission voted 4-1 to approve an "all-inclusive" social networking policy.
It applies to all city elected representatives, appointed board members, employees, volunteers, vendors, contractors and anyone associated with the town in an official capacity who uses social networks. The policy says those persons can't post anything negative about the city, its employees or other associates.
The police in this country no longer serve the public. They serve the politicians that guarantee their pension and benefits. If the politicians decide to use the police as a truncheon against the public, what are the police going to do? Give up their cushy jobs for the good of the community? The few that do will be quickly replaced.
I cannot understand how there can be any young black men in prison/jail as the media keeps telling us that you police are killing them left & right. So I suppose they are an endangered species now?

If that doesn't work the title is "Thin Blue Line"
Any officer who takes the information received from a dispatcher / call taker as completely 100% accurate is out of their ever living mind. This is not to say that dispatchers are not doing one hell of a job, they are. But they are NOT at the scene. They CANNOT tell any officer exactly what is or is not real. They cannot tell you who is or who is not at the scene. I have responded to a murderer scene and there was no body. Later to learn that the evicting was moved by the offender(s) and the body was located days later in another location. Again dispatcher s are a good source of intelligance but they are not all of the intelligance. The responding officer and only the responding officer can make a judgement call on what's is real or not. Sorry to the family of the boy with the replica or fake gun but I would have done exactly as the responding officer did. No ifs ands or buts. And so would any other LEO who responded or they may have been killed.

Gad, more crap from idiots who have no clue. I'm no cop, just an old ACC who LOVES the boys and girls in blue who have NEVER disappointed me. I know you are getting more dirt than ever dumped on you, but please know there are many of us out there who work with you everyday and deeply appreciate everything you do.
Now, remember rule one, get home safe tonight and every night. God bless.
Done policing? No, Havent been done for 23 years. All the crybabies are mad and sad that they public and media are picking on them. Give me a break. Did you really take this job thinking that you were gonna change the world and everyone was gonna love and respect you?? I go to work, look for the bad guy and if I find him I arrest him. If people call and need help or need a report I do that also. Arresting people IS PART OF YOUR JOB! Its not just an option. Its in the job description and your "discretion" can only go so far. Dont be cowards. Do your job right. If you do your job right, dont lie then you will have nothing to worry about. Sure, you can still get a CR number or sued but I would rather go give a statement at a lawsuit or CR investigation and be able to breath easy knowing that im telling the truth and dont have to lie about anything.. just pay me the money for being there. if you have PC to arrest somebody DO IT! Dont be scared. People who are bitter use that as an excuse to not do anything.. please, your not bitter your lazy. I love seeing comments from people on "facebook" when talking about the 10 hour days they want to do citywide eventually. Kids with 2-4 years on crying about how having to get off on midnights at 0730 hours instead of 0530 would be the worst thing in life????? WHAT!!! Obviously you were not around just a few years ago when he had the 6-2 schedule. to many self important crybaby, everybody got a trophy type people on this job these days. Stop being bitter at 2 and 3 years because you think its cool because the vets do it and complain about everything... it doesnt make you fit in or cool.. it makes you look like a young little spoiled crybaby. people on this job make me sick. do your job and stop being a coward.
They are only protesting against a few bad cops,stop beingso dramatic.
SCC, I must say I'm disappointed with YOU putting that in there, what about the shitheads painting the ends of their guns orange so we hesitate or how about "they" call 911 as they do their robbery, etc. and say the offender has a "toy" gun, should we take the caller at their word? Fuck no, point a gun at a police officer and meet your maker (or for some of these people, Satan).
Ok, so if we point out something that happens on occasion AND something that was reported in the media AND we bring it to the attention of our readership WITHOUT making any sort of judgement and WITHOUT claiming it was factual or not (because we weren't there and haven't heard tapes), then we're the assholes?

OT:
Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts stirred up political controversy following comments about his officer shot during a traffic stop Monday night.
The offending remark?
“We’ve had marches nationwide for the fact that we have lost lives in police custody,” said Batts at a press conference about the officer’s condition. “I wonder if we’re going to have those same marches as officers are shot, too.”
Baltimore City officer Andrew Groman is in stable condition after being shot. Officer Groman allegedly ordered suspect Donte Jones to show his hands or be shot with a Taser. Groman shot the Taser as Jones shot Groman with three rounds from a .38 caliber revolver, one of which penetrated beneath Groman’s armor and into his abdomen.
Jones—who faces charges of attempted murder assault, and resisting arrest, among others—was on parole and probation, according to Deputy Police Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez at the time of the shooting. Jones has been arrested three times on gun charges.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the family of the officer shot in a routine traffic stop on Sunday in Baltimore and wish him a speedy and complete recovery," said NAACP President Tessa Hill-Aston in response. "Although I certainly understand the pain and frustration expressed by Commissioner Batts, I believe his questioning of the community's response to the shooting is misplaced and not helpful to the dialogue between the police and the community we're trying to build.”
Batts is no stranger—or antagonist—to protests over recent police incidents. In fact, the commissioner was at a protest the day before the shooting: “Looking at the signs that say `Black lives matter’…from my standpoint, I like those signs,” said Batts. “I understand those signs and that’s why we’re out here, to make sure people can voice that concern.”

By the way, Commissioner Batts is a black man.

Mumia Abu-Jamal (born Wesley Cook April 24, 1954) was convicted and sentenced to death on July 3, 1982, for the December 1981 murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment without parole in December 2011 after Democrat District Attorney Rufus Seth Williams (D) decided to end the pursuit of the death penalty.

Nope. Still won't do it. I've been called racist, still haven't figured out where that one came from, by a black male that knew I also was a black male. I really didn't know what to say so I just agreed and told him I treat black people unfair because I wanna be white. He shut up quick.

What is the cut off age for being an adult marrow donor?
Everyone on Be The Match Registry is critical to saving lives. Once you become a registry member, you are listed on the registry until the age of 61, unless you request to be removed from the registry before then. Anyone between the ages of 18 and 60 who meets health guidelines and is willing to donate to any patient in need is able to join the registry.
As we age, the chances of a complication resulting from any medical procedure increases. People over age 60 are at a slightly increased risk of complications during and after donation. People over age 60 may not join the registry. Age guidelines are in place to protect the health of potential donors and to provide the best possible treatment for patients. The age limit is not meant to discriminate in any way.
There are other ways to be the cure. Learn how you can get involved with Be The Match®.

That is SO profoundly stupid. I knew one "single mom" who lived right next to a firehouse, and was constantly threatening her little boy with the great big horrible F*I*R*E*M*E*N if he didn't eat his peas. She'd work it until the poor little guy was actually red-faced, crying, and shrieking, "NO! NO!"
This is called "abuse by proxy." Threatening and terrorizing while pointing over there and saying someone else is doing it.
Do this long enough and hard enough and you end up with a rage-filled bomb when the kid gets old enough to realize the mindless torment and humiliation you've been putting over on him. Then just keep doing it more until it poisons adult relationships too. It's a real family-destroyer.
Some people will pull something really awful to whip up a screaming argument, keep it going until 3 AM, and then actually call the police after the person finally collapses and goes to sleep. BOOM BOOM BOOM on the door! On go all the lights again! Etc.
"...the abuser recruits friends, colleagues, mates, family members, the authorities, institutions, neighbours, the media, teachers – in short, third parties – to do his bidding. The abuser offers a plausible rendition of the events and interprets them to his favor. Others rarely have a chance to witness an abusive exchange first hand and at close quarters. In contrast, the victims are often on the verge of a nervous breakdown: harassed, unkempt, irritable, impatient, abrasive, and hysterical."

Takes a sick person to do this -- like one of my parents. I grew up with like 900 invisible people in the house at all times, every made-up "authority figure" you could imagine supposedly overseeing my every move, and it still gives me nightmares today.
People should be teaching the kids how to call 911 and get help if something bad happens, assuring them they won't get into trouble for doing it, and introducing them to policemen, firemen so they won't be scared.

"Oliver Friedfeld and his roommate were held at gunpoint and mugged recently. However, the GU student isn’t upset. In fact he says he “can hardly blame [his muggers].”
“Not once did I consider our attackers to be ‘bad people.’ I trust that they weren’t trying to hurt me.
"Friedfeld claims it is the pronounced inequality gap in Washington, D.C. that has fueled these types of crimes. He also says that as a middle-class man, he does not have the right to judge his muggers.
“Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege, surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as ‘thugs?’” asks Friedfeld. “It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem.”

THE KILLING OF POLICE OFFICERS
THE KILLING OF POLICE OFFICERS
Does anyone remember Detective Melvin Santiago? He was a
Jersey City police officer who was shot to death just a
month ago, on July 13th. Santiago was white. His killer,
Lawrence Campbell, was black. Does anyone recall Obama
appearing before national television and calling for
justice for Officer Santiagos family? Does anyone recall
Eric Holder rushing to Jersey City to see that justice was
done?
How about Officer Jeffrey Westerfield? He was a Gary,
Indiana police officer who was shot to death on July 6,
2014. Officer Westerfield was white, his killer, Carl
LeEllis Blount, Jr. was black. Where was Obama? Where
was Holder?
Officer Perry Renn was an Indianapolis, Indiana police
officer who was shot to death July 5, 2014, the day before
Officer Westerfield was killed. Officer Renn was white.
His killer, Major Davis, was black. I don't recall any
mention by Obama about the untimely death of Officer
Renn and, I doubt that Eric Holder rushed
to Indianapolis to make sure justice was served.
Vermillion Parish Deputy Sheriff Allen Bares was gunned
down by two men June 23, 2014 in Louisiana. Deputy Bares
was white. His two killers, Quintlan Richard and Baylon
Taylor were black. Was Obama outraged? Did Eric
Holder rush to Louisiana to make sure that the family of
Deputy Bares found justice?
Detective Charles Dinwiddie of the Killen, Texas Police
Department was murdered on May 11, 2014 by Marvin Lewis
Guy, a black male. Officer Dinwiddie was white. Do you
recall seeing anything about that on the news? Certainly,
the white citizens of Killeen didn't take to the streets
to loot and burn businesses. Do you recall any mention of
Obama or Holder here?
Then, there is Officer Kevin Jordan of Griffin, Georgia
Police Department. He was gunned down on May 31, 2014.
Officer Jordan was black, his killer, Michael Bowman was
white. This was a white man murdering a black police
officer. Where was Jesse Jackson? Where was "The
Reverend" Al Sharpton? Was there looting and
burning on the streets of Griffin, Georgia? No, in fact,
we don't recall hearing about this one in the news as
well. Why? You can draw your own conclusions.
Over the past 60 days, there have been five reported
deaths of police officers by gunshot in the U.S. Of
those, four were white officers who were murdered by black
men. Blacks complain that white officers treat black men
more aggressively on the street. You can draw your own
conclusions on that one, as well

Hey 23 year mush brain:

And everything else you said.
Arresting people was also Darren's job, the Cleveland officer's job, and the officer's who took down the linebacker job.
And look what happened to them mush brain. They have NOTHING to worry about right? Because they did what needed to be done to effect the arrest, right?

Like the one comment on here from a couple of days ago. How are you going to explain that to your family? How are you going to sit on the bed with your wife and kids (if you have any, you sound like a single guy) and tell them, "Honey, we might be going through some turbulent times in the near future, and probably FOREVER!" "Kids, sorry, but you might get your FUCKING ASSES KICKED EVERY DAY FROM NOW ON because Daddy was playing the police"

On Thursday December 18, 2014 Phoenix Police Chief Daniel Garcia was given some of the same treatment he has dished out to numerous other employees over the past two and a half years when he was dismissed from his job as the Police Chief by Phoenix City Manager Ed Zuercher. In the dismissal memo served on Chief Garcia, Mr. Zuercher cited insubordination, unprofessional conduct and behavior that does not support the City’s mission. Prior to the press conference to announce his dismissal, Chief Garcia held his own press conference where he took shots at city leadership, the police unions, the ongoing vote of no confidence and the civilian oversight provided by the civil service review board. The Chief also essentially demanded a two year contract that is not even permissible under the City Charter. It is unknown why the Chief did this. Perhaps he momentarily mistook the Phoenix PD for an NFL franchise. If so, the Chief, by his own actions essentially secured his new status as a free agent. This press conference was convened in violation of a direct order given him by his boss, Assistant City Manager Milton Dohoney.
It is ironic that Chief Garcia himself could not manage to follow orders and maintain the same basic standards of conduct he expected line level employees to observe at all times.
After being served with the dismissal memo, Chief Garcia was escorted home where he was made to surrender his badge, gun, and city car along with other city issued equipment.
The events of this day were a landmark event that have allowed the entire Phoenix Police department to heave a collective sigh of relief and many will sleep easier knowing Garcia’s reign of tyranny has finally been brought to an end.

Th that female gym instrcutor had a phone call AND was in better shape than you. Shut your mouth.
Oh, and it's not being lazy it's being smart. Sure, I know what you are talking about, there are a lot of dog ass coppers who've always been dog asses using that excuse, fine. "That's why I don't do anything." Shut up! You've never did anything, who are you foolin' But plenty of the rest of us were the "police."
Wasn't it worth it? Can I be your partner?

Once the police, always the police. So I am guessing that you were never the police. Don't kid yourself and don't lie to us.
Collecting money for a job you are not doing because you are afraid is stealing plain and simple. At least the welfare recipients are more honest about it.
Done policing? No, Havent been done for 23 years. All the crybabies are mad and sad that they public and media are picking on them. Give me a break. Did you really take this job thinking that you were gonna change the world and everyone was gonna love and respect you?? I go to work, look for the bad guy and if I find him I arrest him. If people call and need help or need a report I do that also. Arresting people IS PART OF YOUR JOB! Its not just an option. Its in the job description and your "discretion" can only go so far. Dont be cowards. Do your job right. If you do your job right, dont lie then you will have nothing to worry about. Sure, you can still get a CR number or sued but I would rather go give a statement at a lawsuit or CR investigation and be able to breath easy knowing that im telling the truth and dont have to lie about anything.. just pay me the money for being there. if you have PC to arrest somebody DO IT! Dont be scared. People who are bitter use that as an excuse to not do anything.. please, your not bitter your lazy. I love seeing comments from people on "facebook" when talking about the 10 hour days they want to do citywide eventually. Kids with 2-4 years on crying about how having to get off on midnights at 0730 hours instead of 0530 would be the worst thing in life????? WHAT!!! Obviously you were not around just a few years ago when he had the 6-2 schedule. to many self important crybaby, everybody got a trophy type people on this job these days. Stop being bitter at 2 and 3 years because you think its cool because the vets do it and complain about everything... it doesnt make you fit in or cool.. it makes you look like a young little spoiled crybaby. people on this job make me sick. do your job and stop being a coward
My all-time favorite post. Couldn't agree with you more.
Cops, from a civilian that reads your blogs - don't sweat it. For every anarchist who gets in your face, cartoonist who disparages you, or politician playing the demagogue, there are 10 of us law-abiding citizens who wholeheartedly support your mission to keep us safe from criminals. Thank you for everything you do.

Another civilian here. And I want to loudly second this person. My family and I are grateful for you.

Here's a young man and a bunch of kids who are showing us the right way:

Watch this for the first couple of minutes and tell me that it isn't what would happen here if we stopped policing.

I will watch only equestrian sports. They are not thugs and don't wear those I Can't Breathe t shirts.

The department, the bosses, the politicians and the general public have our back. They support us fully and unconditionally and so therefore we should have our complete faith and trust in them. Now get out there and get some contact cards.

Someone with any artistic skills should do one exactly like that but with police asking Santa for protection from the African American communities...then put the statistics about how 90% of assaults and batteries against the police are committed by African Americans (despite making up only 12% of the population) that 85% of police related injuries on duty result from interactions with the African American community, that 79% of police murders are committed by African Americans...
Look, this "mistrust" is a two-way street, and the "healing" needs to come from both sides. It's time to educate the general public on how tough WE as law enforcement have it who work in African American communities.

My dear fellow, all of the facts you stated are RACIST. It is a statistically racist allegation.
"That BS starts at the top. When the accidental potus and AG bash the police, why shouldn't everyone?"
Speaking of which, has Obama EVER attended the DC Police Memorial Services?

Guess it's easier to show your ass than do some research.

What a wonderful place, Liberia. The guy had it right, absolute hell on earth. And who created it? The USA! Started with freed slaves from USA! They promptly went there and started a plantation system of slavery! Love it. A whole country like Englewood on steroids. They need CPS and more US tax money!
