This Cop would have lost his job *****

[Caroljo]

If it weren't for his body cam. Wow, is this what needs to be done now? This cop would have been out of a job if it wasn't for that he had this camera on him, and the guy with his 2 sons didn't know that! This is getting bad....this is the lowest thing to do, lie about someone in the hopes it ruins their lives, just because you don't like them. This cop was very kind to them, apologized several times, and see what he gets for it. The guy even had his kids lying for him!! Pretty sad stuff.....

Out of Oakland, California comes a story of such a claim being made, that a white officer used inappropriate force and threatened to shoot a black man. The black man in question is named Keith Jones. He also happens to be a firefighter.

more black on white crime and the firefighter needs to be reprimanded..false accusations in an attempt to destroy a white persons livelyhood and obtain finiancial benefit from the false accusations..

he confounds it by teaching his children that the truth is not necessary in life..hes a peach...

I'd say that was a racially motivated hate crime on the part of the lying firefighter and his two sons.

More crap cops are having to put up with..............................

Today I was handcuffed and detained by 2 police officers from the Studio City Police Department after refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place.


*


…And moreover, I deeply enjoyed connecting with the cops who detained me. I allowed myself to be honest about my anger, frustration, and rage as tears flowed from my eyes. The tears I cry for a country that calls itself “the land of the free and the home of the brave” and yet detains people for claiming that very right.


But witness accounts and police audio of the altercation paint a very different picture.

Witnesses reported that the actress, who claimed she was being persecuted for kissing her boyfriend, was actually having sex in the car.

Lying SOB's

They're all going to have to wear them now, just to protect themselves. Too bad the Ferguson cop didn't have one. This can remove all doubt, and may stop people from being such [Unwelcome language removed].

The cams are a good idea. Keep in mind that the cop knew he was wearing one, which is going to influence his behavior in a positive way. That kind of accountability puts authority figures in a different mindset than if they think they can throw their weight around capriciously and it'll just be their word against the other guy's.

That's true. It will also do the same for the criminal. If they know the cop is wearing a camera, it most likely will keep circumstances from getting out of control. Unless the guys just really stupid!

Yep. At one point, this was an impractical solution, but not any more. Body cams aren't terribly expensive and they're extremely useful.

I'm sure the cops dislike it. Can't say I blame them -- I'd hate to wear a cam monitoring my behavior all the time, too. I know that, similarly, people in other businesses hate getting monitored (e.g., "drive-cams" for commercial drivers). But in the case of policing, the stakes are high enough that I think it's warranted, and ultimately it's in the best interest of those police officers, too.

I agree it has to be hard for some, whether their bad cops or good. But it would greatly help the problem with the "bad" cops and protect the good cops....and that's what they're going to have to do. Just the 2 links I gave tells you it's a problem.
