It’s Horrific and Unjust Every Time
It’s Horrific and Unjust Every Time
Imagine being able to refuse a breath test without getting the shit beat out of you
I still remember this time the mayor of this town was drunk driving, and they decided to go ahead and arrest him for it. They were able to get the charges to stick thanks to the bodycam footage.
I was shocked and appalled at his entitlment. I expected him to expect to be left off the hook, but the way he was acting. No whining, begging, or pleading. He just stood firm and calm as he reprimanded the police and demanded they get the chief immediately...
He really came off as though he genuinely believed the cops were the ones breaking the rules and getting in trouble for arresting him, or even stopping him, not himself...
For the rich and privileged it's a whole different ball game.
He wasn't a cop: mayors take notice.
They don't Isuzu beat you anymore, but lots of states have a law that part of having a driver's license is consent to a breath test, so if you refuse they revoke your license.
Either have to be rich or a bootlicker. Presumably some people can be both.
friendly fire is generally frowned upon
An (ex) friend of mine refused a breathalyzer when a county sheriff found him sleeping behind the wheel in a parking lot after a day of drinking. Because he refused the test the county revoked his license.
Meanwhile this cop hits a child and nothing happens.
Note to self: if I'm going to commit a crime make sure I'm a cop first.
Make sure you’re a cop and do it with a car. You’ll probably have a greater chance of receiving compensation for the ‘trauma’ you suffered than face any criminal consequences.
It's great because when they call the cops you just say "already at the scene, boys; nothing to see here – all good 'n' dandy, Sandy"
They break up union strikes but their own union is above the law.
Cops are a gang
If you go to anti union propaganda sites you get the most tame accusations you've ever heard. Embezzlement! Using your dues for leftist causes! Holy shit!
And then there's "police union" where you consistently get "cop gets bored; kills family of 5. City ordered to lick his taint and pay $5,000,000 after trying to fire him."
It's an actual mob. You pay dues to the bosses and they break the law to protect you.
Always has been.🔫
So when do we charge this man with terrorism?
Union? That's what their union is for?
Yep! The police union is anti union. It's a bit strange, for sure.
Well mainly their Union is for busting real unions.
It is known. That’s why cops aren’t allowed in the IWW.

The only union Right Wingers believe in is the Police OFficer's union
"Idiocracy is a documentary."
No mother fucker, The Boys is a fucking documentary
It would be nice if equal protection under the law applied to cops as well
Fuck you, Suffolk county. You and your people suck worse than Nassau, and that's fucking saying something.
Don't come to the city with your shitty driving and low quality people.
So the responding officers were fired for not collecting evidence, right? Right?
Me, a progressive: "No more cops"
Lemmy users: "Villain! We need moderate change to the existing system! Not a new one! Who would protect us from the marauding gangs of evildoers in my backyard?"
Me, a progressive: "Don't you think--"
Lemmy users: "FUCK YOU FA&&&&&"
Where I live it's illegal to refuse a drug driving test
Illegal for us plebs. Not for off duty cops
Serve and protect.
... your own
when these cops gonna start wearing masks?
So, real question, since it isn't stated: Half naked 2 year old Kid, Off his leash, built from gummy bears, was trying to pick a fight with liquor-fueled cop car? ...and no one thought to blame it on all the empty liquor bottles that tried to run.
IIRC, he rear-ended the shit out of a small car with his giant pickup truck while well over the speed limit. There were two kids in the back seat.
