That's what I was worried about, especially after seeing a clip the other day of a woman getting shot in her own house because a cop didn't like a joke she made (after she called them as she thought someone was breaking in)

u/tickletender Jul 25 '24
The good news is the former cop who shot her is in jail without bond for murder. Took too long, but he’s not getting out of this one. They won’t pull strings to get him off either; he shot an unarmed woman on camera. He hopefully won’t see outside of a prison for the rest of his life

u/Automatic_Release_92 Jul 25 '24 edited Jul 25 '24
I don’t know that the woman was making a joke, but it was definitely NOT a credible threat either. Poor woman just seemed like she was making a cry for help kind of call and was in some mental turmoil.
Edit: To u/SlipperyThong (sorry but this thread is now locked), I watched the video, she might have been joking, but it did not look that way in the slightest to me. Nor did it look like the imminent threat police officers at the scene made it out to be… she looks strung out as hell, either mentally not with it or on something, the appearance of the apartment kind of confirms that too in my opinion, and she just sort of mumbles the phrase. Definitely not a “haha, I’m joking” moment. Why do we need to editorialize or misrepresent the situation? The video itself is damning and shows flat out murder anyway. Trying to make it something it is not only weakens the argument.

The woman asked the officers why they were backing away, the officers said because she was holding a boiling pot of water. She joked, "I'll bless you in the name of Jesus", which the cop responded, "I'll shoot you in the fucking face." He then preceded to shoot her in the fucking face.

Yet, somehow over the years, I have amalgamated all this anger- not sure from where. Maybe just navigating through life unaware of certain things, and lack of boundaries.But seriously, wtf happened- I don’t like my current disposition. How tf did I become this bitter, crotchety, old curmudgeon, at only 40....

I get it, the world sucks and you're gonna bump into a lot of people who are miserable and want to make you miserable, so they can feel a bit better. But like a duck in water, just let it roll off of you. Easier said than done, I know, but the main thing that helped me was learning to take a step back and actually considering if what they did or if what just happened actually impacts me. More times than not, the answer is no. Let them be unhappy, and do you. I dress like Steve Irwin once a week and go to work, with literally zero care about what other people think of it, and ya know what, people love it! Just do you my friend, and anyone who doesn't like it, isn't someone you should have in your life.

Both can be true. Most cops are fine, but there are still massively too many that are poorly trained and/or not at all fine.
7
u/mh985 Jul 25 '24
Agreed. Most municipalities need to invest in better training and selection processes.
I have two cousins in a nearby police department. They are incredibly selective and have an extensive training process. Even if you are a police officer elsewhere, you still have to go through their selection process and academy. I’ve spoken with their academy CO and they take a lot of pride in undergoing higher standards than other departments.
On the other hand, my parents live in a fairly rural area where most of their police officers are part-time and have minimal training.

Most are fine from my experience, but the problem is when a position has a lot of power but it's easy to get away from accountability it attracts the shitty types. American cops have been alright when I visited there but here in Albania the wages for the average cop are so low you have to be corrupt to make a living and because of that we are one of Europe's largest drug traders.

u/nooneknowswerealldog Jul 25 '24
Almost 20 years ago, there was a playoff hockey riot in my neighbourhood (Canadian, and so hockey riots are kind of a thing we do). After a few days of assholes getting drunk and breaking shit and cops breaking heads, the city decided to shut down the neighbourhood to road traffic and just turn the place into an open block party. There were still cops on every corner, but they were dancing and high-fiving and posing for selfies and celebrating with everyone else.
I remember walking home from the bar one night after things had shifted from riot to rave, full of beer and pot, and passing a cop more or less guarding a car dealership lot. I've had my own run-ins with the police, but I like to treat strangers with kindness, so I sat down with him, lit a smoke, and started chatting about the situation. A young man on rollerblades skated by. It's against the bylaws to rollerblade/skateboard on this particular street, so the cop stopped him.
Cop: "Hey dude, gotta let you know you can't rollerblade here. You'll have to take those off and go somewhere else.
Rollerblader: "I can't? But I'm just going home."
Cop: "I understand, but you can't skate on this street. You'll have to walk, or go elsewhere."
Rollerblader: "Well, what if I just go around the corner and skate on the next street over?"
Cop: "Yeah! There's no bylaw against skating on that street. You can skate to your heart's content. Go for it!"
Rollerblader: "I will! Thanks!"
Cop: "No worries. Have a great night!"
Rollerblader: "You too!"
Such a simple interaction, but an example of how things can work with a better culture and relationship between police and the public. (I tend to see the issue of bad policing as societal issue, rather than just one of police culture: better support for unhoused people, people with mental illnesses, and people in addiction, so cops aren't being called to deal with issues better handled by counsellors and social workers. Like most social issues, it's an optimization problem: there's no perfect solution, but some are better than others.)

u/Paddlesons Jul 25 '24
The problem, as I see it, is that there are a lot of bad apples that are attracted to and therefore end up working the job they have no business working in the first place. Of course this is terrible for the department, the community, and it also discourages well-meaning decent people from considering a career in law enforcement. It sucks so much and I don't see how we can turn it around.

For every bad story you hear about cops there are 12 good ones you didn't hear.
I worked carnivals and festivals and fairs for years. Usually rides and ride maintenance, but the last few years I tried to switch it up and work a game. The last one I worked was a balloon store, where you pop balloons with darts. One of the prizes you could win was a giant stuffed donut. I would ask every cop that came by if they wanted to play, and when they would politely decline, I would pull out the big donut and ask, "Are you sure tho!?!"
Even the most serious ones at least cracked a smile. Most of them laughed!
I'm not saying there aren't bad cops. Just that more of the focus is on the bad ones.
