Cops take guys phone & accidentally record themselves debating the best way to frame him

Those stickers are the fuckin' worst. Power tripping pieces of shit.
Enough internet for me today. Someone DM me when Kawhi makes his decision.
Open carry people are legitimately dangerous to public safety so I can't feel bad for him. Connecticut cops being dirty isn't surprising in anyway.
I have no idea how those officers could possibly be cleared. I mean Holy shit there's literally video evidence of them exposing themselves.
On another note I'm interested in hearing why "all cops are bad because of statistics" is perfectly fine to spout, while "all -insert people of your choice- are bad due to statistics" is off limits. I get that it's an emotional pushback against the rampant corruption in American police forces, but really? It's unproductive at best.

I don't understand these responses. Is every cop in this video or something?
I found a lot crappy run-ins with a lot of crappy cops. Especially when I was young and looking for trouble. I've also had a lot of good run-ins with a lot of good cops. It's just weird to me to see such terrible logic to insist that all of one profession is bad.
Can'
Do those people choose a profession steeped in corruption or born into a demographic?
Fuck ALL cops.

*(sighs)* One more time for the people in the back.
American cops are beholden to a system that explicitly uses them to uphold white supremacist norms. Indeed, the occupation has been specifically targeted by white supremacist nepotism. Even if there are good individuals, they lack the tools and power to actually push the system towards more equitable ends, either staying silent to abuses, getting run out of the profession, or even killed.
"-insert people of choice-" like...say...black people... or Hispanic people.... or LGBT people... or any other minority people try to use to compare to an occupation (you know, an actual choice) inherently have nothing to do with any negative statistical data you could levy at them, by which I mean: trying to directly correlate immutable biological characteristics and phenotypical expression with crime, as if being dark-skinned means you are genetically more disposed towards immorality, makes literally no fucking sense and is absolutely bigoted. Instead, what we see are people railroaded by sociopolitical factors as a result of their caste (a lot of which are, funnily enough, exacerbated by cops), thus blaming someone's race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, etc. for something like crime is...like...morally wrong.
There are no good cops so long as the institution of American policing remains as dangerous and corrupt as it is. It's systemic. The rot goes straight down to the roots.
I can tell the guy who's phone filmed it is white because if he was a black man he would have been murdered. And he never could have gotten an open carry permit in the first place
because if they press these guys, what kind of pandora's box do you open if someone suggests the Feds come investigate the goddam State police?
its not like you can say "no", you got your own people on tape and you charged them, so obviously there's a need for a closer look. But instead, these are just some bad apples who needed internal discipline and everyone has learned their lesson and will be best from now on. Promise-swear.
and to your second point, the statistics for police misconduct is expected to be under reported and played down as much as the statistics showing America is under attack from vicious brown and black criminality to be exaggerated, for the same reasons.
OP

You choose to become a cops
You're born a certain race/gender/sexuality
And the added bonus of cops being license to kill.
What makes this so hard?
On camera debating the best ways to charge him with something even when he was well within his right to carry and they made up witnesses...and they still fucking get off.
Fuck everything, but mostly fuck cops. jfc
Sounds like someone who hates guns and also hates cops posting on a board where people hate guns and hate cops?
Watchemen where are you? These cop assholes needed at least a beatdown by the public for being scum.
To paraphrase what they tell rape victims or people getting shot for being dressed the wrong way

ACAB, Fuck all cops, etc
And once again we have someone in here comparing cops to an actual race of people
And once again we have someone in here comparing cops to an actual race of people
After watching the video I can tell that scene is full of assholes, except one set of assholes is committing their assholery shit within the scope of the law (the stupid open carry shit) and the other set of assholes were trying to incriminate people who were acting within the, regrettably stupid, law.
No surprise seeing cops trying to cover their asses and have each other's backs, even if it means going above the law. Fuck that shit.

I'm familiar with this logic. It's still fallacious.
I'm a mortgage loan officer. I love what I do. There are a number of unscrupulous people in my profession. I am not unscrupulous. I do good business because of my reputation. I can't make every other loan officer have ethics. I can't report all of them because to some extent it's systemic. That does not make me a bad person or bad loan officer. This is extremely basic logic.
The institution itself is rotten. There can be no good cops in a system that is so deeply corrupt. Also, if you're out here saying "The good cops can't report the bad cops because it's systemic," than there are no good cops.
Fuck.
The.
Police.
That still doesn't make sense. I assume you won't ever be calling them for any reason whatsoever, correct?
I mean, I know quit being Mr. "Fuck all cops" once I needed one and they helped me out.
But you won't do that right?
Never called the cops in my life for anything also this is a shit fucking argument
That's poor logic, dude. I've encountered bad cops, I've encountered good cops. Do they have a serious systemic issue? Yes. Are there a LOT of bad cops? Yes. Are there good cops that do their absolute best every day to help people and make it home alive while and are good people? Yes.
Good. Don't ever call them. For any reason.
If it's a shit argument then counter it with sound logic and reason.
cops kill black people in the streets with impunity. Only "sound logic and reason" that's necessary for me to arrive at the conclusion of ACAB.
