I get what you're saying, but they are trained. Trained to be bullies, to never report another officer no matter the horrible things they do, and that there's no consequences for their illegal actions.
Good cops get harassed, bullied, and even assaulted until they quit, bad cops are emboldened and become worse...
Yeah, but that doesn't have anything to do with this thread... Your reply is the same as if someone posted a joke about obesity in the US and you commented about the obesity percentage in Finland. See how that makes absolutely no sense and is really weird? It's even more weird that you've somehow not understood how weird it is.
No. This is about the new movie by M. Night Shamalan - "Deez Nuts" it's about killer nuts trying to takeover a small Midwestern town. Apparently his kid developed nut allergies and it was his inspiration to produce this film.
The thing about that cop and the acorn is crazy tho yo.
To be fair to her, his actions were so bizarre she said she assumed he must have been hit because he was rolling around in the middle of the street while shouting "I've been hit."
By the way...this actually happened. A cop lost his shit and screamed "SHOTS FIRED!" when an acorn fell near him. He started shooting all over the place in a suberb which caused another cop nearby to also start shooting at nothing.
Why do we train our cops to be so terrified of everything?
I think it might be hiring. I've got a relative who was too paranoid and antsy for the post office, but he's fit right in as a sheriff's deputy. I'm glad he found a place to belong.
Do you have any evidence of the "war veteran" part of this, or literally anything to indicate that he has PTSD besides your own assertion that he "probably" has it? The only thing I can find is that he was in Afghanistan but never saw any combat. Are there things in Afghanistan that could cause PTSD? Sure. Is there any evidence that he has PTSD? Not that I've seen.
You know who probably does have massive PTSD? The cuffed guy in the back that was almost executed by two cops because one of them was so effing stupid that he thought he'd been shot by an acorn. He did not "react accordingly." He reacted like a trigger-happy moron. The only useful part of this is that he's resigned.
The talibans Asymetrical warfare and the resulting Paranoya itself can give PTSD
If you spend years always expecting an ambush, always being told to expect an ambush, you will see an ambush everywhere. Even if you never were actually ambushed.
Not that i'm defending him, but asymetrical warfare can and will fuck you up.
And my question is, why should I give respect to someone who is violating rights of individuals domesticly as a police officer, and has likley committed war crimes and rights violations abrod, or atleast aided and abeded said war crimes. I only see this as more meme worthy. I understand PTSD is no joke, but at some point, the position of power and betrayal of your class removes the sympathy I would otherwise have for you
I didn't ask for sympathy for anyone on this. It's more towards the process is absolutely fucking broken. It was obvious that something like that can happen to any person with more than 2 brain cells. And yet, the decisions we were made to put a person in a situation where he was bound to fail.
PTSD is not their fault, but it is their responsibility to deal with and they should not be employed in a position where that condition could engager the general public. Like it did. If I'm allergic to peanuts, I shouldn't be hired in a place that processes them. And even in that example, I'm only putting myself at risk.
Speculation, but having seen similarly hypervigilent and jumpy people get hired locally, they were hired for office duty, promote to field work and that's where they fucked up. But it's just three dudes I've seen that happen to, I wouldn't draw industry wide conclusions from that.
LOL I saw the video again. Both cops shoot to nothing lol. They are not even aiming.
Fortunately for the victim, they suck at trying to shoot a still target. Why gringos allow that kind of people to be police is beyond me.
The only thing that can justify the woman police, is that she only sees her mate rolling like madman and shooting to the car. It's fair to assume that there's a threat, if her mate is mentally stable and trained. Which apparently is no a true premise.
It's not the acorns that are the problem, dude. It's the fucking squirrels. They've been stashing them away... waiting for the right time.
You think the acorn that hit the cop just fell from a tree? Don't be naive! There a was a squirrel behind the grassy knoll that launched it at the cop.
Squirrels are the criminal element. I know because I have both squirrels and oak trees in my back yard. Thankfully, the acorns have a K-9 unit that keeps the squirrels in check.
A cop had someone handcuffed in the backseat, an acorn landed on the car, the cop panicked thought he'd been shot and emptied his gun at his car, somehow not killing the person handcuffed in back.
His partner also dumped a clip into the vehicle. The officer that got spooked by the acorn literally did not realize he had not been shot until he go to the hospital...
It's better, not only did his partner also open fire neither of them even hit the guy, who was huddling in place, trying not to get executed by clowns.
We trained them poorly, on purpose, as a prank on all brown people. And socialists. And queers. And the unhoused. And drug enjoyers. And everyone that doesn't do what the state says at all times.
