“But some media outlets, police leaders, and law enforcement organizations continue to push the false narrative that policing is getting more dangerous, that cops are working in the equivalent of war zones, and so on.”

We all know that claim is utter bullshit-the only thing that makes it seem cops are working in a war zone is cops pretending they are SEALS,or Green Berets,or Force Recon Marines by dressing for the part.

Add in all the MRAP’s the .mil M-4’s , M-40’s,and M-24 versions of the Remington 700,the $5,000.00+ Nightforce scopes,the body armor,complete with helmet, their tacticool black ninja PJ’s,or brand new multicam, or some combination of the two.

These guys-the tacticool SWAT guys- apparently do not comprehend that black ninja PJ’s are  for daytime raids-the morons do not even understand the purpose of black ninja PJ’s is to conduct NIGHTTIME operations.

Since when is this a police uniform? Since when do sheriffs need to have all the exact same gear that our military has,and use it against civilians?

Maybe,just maybe,serving warrants for non-violent crimes like this…

Explains why cops think our streets are a war zone-to them,it is,and the enemy is us!

“In terms of raw number of deaths, 2013 was the safest year for cops since World War II. If we look at the rate of deaths, 2013 was the safest year for police in well over a century. At the current pace, we can expect to see a 17 percent increase in on the job law enforcement fatalities this year over last year. That would put the total number of police officers who die on the job this year at 117, making 2014 the second safest year for cops in terms of raw fatalities since 1959. It would also put 2014 as the safest year for fatality rates in over a century. You’re more likely to be murdered simply by living in about half of the largest cities in America than you are while working as a police officer.”

The lie that it’s more dangerous to be a cop than just about every other job is what led to cops having gear like this…

They have the balls to claim the above is a “rescue vehicle” ??????

Okay,we know being a cop is not all that dangerous of a job,now we have the facts about cops being killed in the line of duty-and it proves that cops are not in all that much danger of being killed on the job-does their claim that they are doing a dangerous job entitle them to MRAP’s,tactical-and tacticool gear to conduct military style operations against citizens?

What I want to know is how many people the cops shot and killed in 2013-seems that is not readily available information for some reason……

“A cop who is constantly told that his job is dangerous and that every interaction with a citizen could be his last will naturally be more likely to reach for his weapon when it isn’t necessary.”

This is insanity-and it took place about an hour or so from where I live,don’t get much of this type of shit from the cops around here,in Cleveland and Akron-yeah. Sandusky is not a big city,the cops are generally assholes there,they write as many tickets as possible to those visiting the amusement park nearby-Cedar Point,and search a lot of young people’s cars,claiming they smell weed,or saw a passenger hide something,etc. Seen that one live and in person when I was  kid. lots of the local kids go to Cedar Point the day after prom,they still do it today,we were doing it in the 70’s. The cops were dicks back then,looks like they have grown into even bigger dicks since the 70’s.

They get all pissy because these people know their rights-then the asshole cop threatens them saying we’ll get CPS to take your baby away from you.

What assholes,where the fuck does this cop think he is? China? Cuba? Iran?

We still have rights here-despite asswipes like these “officers” pretending they do not exist…

Commenter Riki  Agnew Te Paa sums it up nicely…

“The entire system is a weeping pustule of corruption!! There ARE no good cops!! Any cop who sees this and does nothing to stop it is just as bad as the scumbags who are perpetrating these criminal abuses!!”

I really like the “weeping pustule of corruption” part.

here’s the entire comment…

“FFS enough already! This is fucking outrageous! Who are these goons? Where do they get these psychos from? These sub human, lying, power tripping bastards!! Why are we not all rioting and destroying this filthy criminal system??? Can you believe these lying fucks telling him she didn’t have her headlights on because it was after sunset, even as the sun was shining right over his shoulder? Threatening to put their newborn baby in CPS!!!!! This fucking piece of shit pig should be in prison! The entire system is a weeping pustule of corruption!! There ARE no good cops!! Any cop who sees this and does nothing to stop it is just as bad as the scumbags who are perpetrating these criminal abuses!!”

One of the most absurd…

“In a case we’ve been following here at The Watch, an Illinois judge just ruled that police in Peoria did not violate the Fourth Amendment when they raided a home to unmask the identity of the person who had been operating a Twitter account that parodied the town’s mayor. Let me reiterate to highlight the absurdity: A judge has ruled that the police did nothing wrong when they raided a home because someone making fun of the mayor on Twitter.”

“We have historically been a paramilitary organization,” observed Indianapolis Police Chief Rick Hite during a September 17 City Council meeting. “And we serve whoever sits in that chair, regardless of race, gender, creed, or political party. I don’t know what we would do if we had to go to battle, and we had to make a determination, based on past practices, whether or not we wanted to go into battle. … I am a soldier in an army. We serve you in that way…. We should not be in a position where we’re going to have to decide how we’re going to police this city.”

Hite spoke those words in a largely empty chamber, to an audience drawn entirely from Indianapolis’s political class. True, the budget meeting was open to the public, which could attend in person, monitor a live broadcast online, or watch an archived video of the proceedings later. But few, if any, city residents were likely to endure the two-and-a-half-hour-long barrage of bureaucratese that provided the prelude to Hite’s candid invocation of fuhrerprinzip – modified, in this case, to express unqualified loyalty to an oligarchy, rather than a single “leader.”

“State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens revealed a few more details about the manhunt for Eric Frein, saying trackers have discovered items he hid or abandoned in the woods — including an AK-47 assault rifle and ammunition they believe he had been carrying while on the run.”

Probably left it as a decoy. It’s taken them 9 days to find this rifle,and whatever else they found. Shit just doesn’t add up right in this case-there’s something the state police are not releasing.

“Dan Love, BLM’s special agent in charge for Utah and Nevada, is the target of numerous complaints by rural Utah sheriffs who blame his unwillingness to respect local authorities for a rupture in their relations with BLM law enforcement. State officials have asked BLM to replace Love, pictured here in 2009 while leading a federal raid on the Blanding home of James and Jeanne Redd. Love supervised the undercover operation into illegal artifact trafficking which the Redd family alleges led to James Redd’s suicide. BLM special agent Dan Love was among the federal agents and archaelogists to search and remove artifacts from the Redd house in Blanding on Tuesday. He is at the front gate that leads to the Redd house.”

“Public Enemy No. 1 for rural Utah sheriffs just happens to be a fellow peace officer: Dan Love, the Bureau of Land Management’s special agent in charge.

Elected law enforcement officers from Nephi to Blanding call him an arrogant and dishonest bully who has little regard for local authority and dodges accountability, derailing a collaborative approach to police work on the state’s federal lands.

Love reportedly just laughed when Garfield County Sheriff James “Danny” Perkins relayed ranchers’ complaints about federal officers removing plastic feed tubs from the range and threatening the ranchers with litter citations.

He drew early controversy during an undercover probe of artifacts trafficking in Blanding in 2009. More recently, Love led the BLM’s aborted roundup of Cliven Bundy’s cattle following an armed standoff with anti-government protesters at the Utah-Nevada border.”
