Cops are great

[mtangelsfan]

I agree, not enough information to say they are guilty but I am fairly befuddled that they aren't even on suspension.

[Jason]

They may have been within policy and procedure. You can't suspend employees that are following the rules you give them. I think the department is going to be on the hook for this one. I'm not a cop as I work in probation but I am a use of force instructor and have been through a lot of training in my 18 years and have learned that force is not always a black and white issue. We pick apart all our incidents frame by frame, especially since I deal with juveniles

I don't understand why anyone would hate Gordon, Andy and Stewart.  They're awesome.

Walking out of RiteAid on Thursday, I noticed a sherriff's patrol car parked directly behind my car. As I approached I realized he was in the process of having the car next to mine towed away. I see an older leader (like 70) starting to cry. He's telling her that there is nothing he can do because they've been directed to tow all cars with expired registrations over 6 months old. She's pleading with him, saying she needs her car to get to the doctor and pick up her medications. He continues to tell her there's nothing he can do (obvious bullshit). 

At this point, she starts saying she has no way to get home. Obviously talking to herself since the cop is ignoring her. I tell her not to worrying about that, I would give her a ride home. Finally, he turns and says," If it was under 6 months you would just be getting a warning, ma'am "

I take a look at her tags and they say DEC 2015. I realize immediately that even if they expired on Dec 1st, it would still be under 6 months. I ask him if it was under 6 months, he would really let it go with a warning. After he replied with a "yes", I pointed out to him that it actually is under 6 months. After a minute of doing the calculations, and yes his mouth was moving as he used his fingers, he realizes his mistake. After a couple of minutes of him looking embarrassed he tells the lady that he's going to let her off with a warning. Then he mumbles something about how he's glad he didn't have to tow her car. F'ing nimrod.

At least the cop owned up to his mistake

I thought for sure reading this thread that your post was going to end with the cop killing the lady.  

[Stradling]

On second thought, @Lou you're a hero, you obviously prevented murder.  

[HaloCory22]

I for sure thought this story was going to end with IE correcting the officer that it was actually 7 months and demanding it get towed.

[Stradling]

Lou to the officer

"I agree"

[RuledByNone]

Seriously well done, Bruin. The complete lack of empathy and the "just following orders" mentality makes me sick.

 

And in another story, this is how the state of Arkansas treats misbehaving kids at juvenile detention facilities.

Looks like they're having loads of fun. Some artist even sketched a face onto the duct tape.  Reminds me a little of Abu Ghraib. Probably just a couple of "bad apples".

I'm shocked that Lou even showed up.

I work in juvenile detention. I doubt this photo is real. The may use restraints like this but photographing them is flat out against the law. This type of stuff is non existent in California. As far as the wrap, it's not that bad of a thing. It looks weird but it is safer than physically restraint. If this stuff happened in my department you'd be out of a job

I thought the ending would involve INS and Bruin having to call a non ambulance chaser.

[the dude abides]

I'm surprised he didn't tase you, Lou, and then arrest you for obstruction.

What an asshole.

My personal shopper was at her dad's funeral. 

Anyone know an experienced shopper looking for work? 

[Blarg]

May I suggest the South Coast Plaza Mall. Many very experienced shoppers there that are quite used to spending someone else's money. 

[Stradling]

Let me know if you see Matt Clement and his wife at SCP.

Bruin sends his personal shopper to Costco, to bring back the free samples.

Freddie Gray verdict: Officer Edward Nero not guilty

Quote

While Nero released a statement saying he and his family were "elated" with the ruling, Gray family attorney Billy Murphy, too, applauded the decision, saying, "You can't convict people unless you know the evidence," and that Judge Barry Williams had followed the law as he saw it.

Bet nobody saw that coming.

It’s now a hate crime to target police, first responders in Louisiana

Better watch what you write now.

Vehicular manslaughter or paid leave?

My money is on paid leave, and at worst, a stern talking to by his captain.
