[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18:18 again.

Just a few days ago a Colorado police officer parked his cruiser, with a suspect in it, on train tracks. The cruiser and the woman inside were hit by a train. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-train-hits-police-car-woman-handcuffed-back-seat-fort-lupton-colorado/

Parks her on train tracks. On train tracks. Presumably the place where everyone knows not to park and he left a suspect parked there. [/quote]

This is truly awful.  However I am hoping it was just stupidity on the officers' part, and not intentional.

Unlike this guy who broke the arm of a dementia patient and then laughed about it.

Bet the cops wife poster will bend over backwards to defend this.[/quote]

Sigh. No. I know a couple posters here would like me to, but as I have repeatedly said, I do not condone the horrific actions of some officers.

I simply don’t cast aspersions at wide groups of people. I don’t spit on or threaten officers as they go about their days doing their jobs, which has happened several times to my husband. I assume that’s acceptable behavior to a couple posters here. He just deserves it, correct?

I don’t hold police solely responsible for society’s faults. I also know, based on many interactions, volunteer experiences, and participation in community policing initiatives, that there is a lot of good work being done in communities. Instead of making things harder for everyone (police and citizens alike) by intentionally demeaning and denigrating people trying to be good officers and citizens, I choose to help.

I’m saddened by the fact that simply saying something positive caused so much hatred and hostility. I did notice that statistics I posted about use-of-force and police training did not receive angry retorts, which I take to mean that the facts were generally accepted. I wonder, then, why the hate?

You’re welcome to answer, but I’m done responding. This puts hate into the world, and that’s not my thing. [/quote]
Professional victim right here. I know you think you’re painting police in a positive light but your incessant nattering about how cops just aren’t that bad is painting you all in a worse light. I replied to your facts and figures and you reply with martyrdom, martyrdom you’re so deep into that you can’t even identify it as such. Like “I did notice that statistics I posted about use-of-force and police training did not receive angry retorts, which I take to mean that the facts were generally accepted. I wonder, then, why the hate?” I replied to two of your “statistics” posts with calm, fact based replies and you reply with “Nope, I’m sorry. I will not hate people because somebody on DCUM told me to.” No one told you to hate anyone, bub.

What you and all the other police force cheerleaders pretend not to see is that there are serious and deeply entrenched problems in police forces. Like the Oathkeepers who have been publicly identified. https://apnews.com/article/oath-keepers-leaked-membership-rolls-2ca4195ed3a10e45dd189bf98f3e5a26 Like [i]active[/i] white supremacists in police forces. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/prevalence-white-supremacists-law-enforcement-demands-drastic-change-2022-05-12/ Like the amount of force used against Black people and in Black neighborhoods. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01846-z

When you and your husband’s career line pretend you’re high and mighty and above reproach, guess what? Innocent Black people are going to continue to get murdered. Mentally ill people are going to continue to get injured and murdered. People with hearing problems are going to continue to get beat down. People are going to continue to have a can of pepper spray emptied in their face for attempting to follow disparate commands. But you don’t see a problem and you sure as shoot don’t respond honestly.

So in fact you’re correct. You are putting hate out there. Your instinct to [i]not[/i] once again respond thoughtlessly, like a mynah bird, is the correct one. Don’t reply at all until you’ve actually read some of the dozen cites I know that [i]I’ve[/i] posted. Don’t come back until you want to [b]learn something,[/b] because your endless cheerleading of racism and problems in the force in the face of facts is beyond irritating, it’s pathological. [/quote]

LOL please state your qualifications. You obviously have no experience in law enforcement, because if you did, you would not be making endless ignorant and hyperbolic statements. There is absolutely no replacement for actual experience. The media and social media is mostly propaganda and it appears you are consuming massive amounts of it! I've worked in law enforcement for over 20 years and it is not nearly as controversial as you are portraying it. It's as if you watched some crazy movie about police work and think it's reality. How old are you? Law enforcement has improved 10x over the last few decades. Maybe you should find a hobby or do something positive, because you sound like someone who will always be disgruntled if you focus on politics.
