Rude/Arrogant Cops

Just a couple of things I found recently. And I am not one of those people that hates all cops all the time.

Wow. That top one is crazy. There is no way in hell that guy should ever be allowed to remain a police officer. A man can screw up, but not like that when a life is on the line. You must demand better from someone in that position.

The second video happen just a few steps outside the building I work at. I remember the railings being out and the sound stage. They were assembling the drum set as I passed by. They were doing the sound checks here, so this must have happen right after I passed by. This happen last week. That cop too should be canned. Being a NYPD doesn't give him to right to talk to people that way. (the shut up, I'm not talking to you comment. Or just being a ****head for that matter)

The hipster cop is kind of an internet celebrity. He was the NYPD liaison to the Occupy protestors.

Still he came across as a complete jerk there, the one thing I thought of when watching this was how compliant and peaceful the people were before he blew it up into a whirlwind fiasco.

I would love to meet a NY Cop on a TX street....

first one seems messed up, but considering the amount of fake 911 calls that hapen, hard to know his motivations.

in the 2nd one, hard to know anything. I assume he's responding to a noise complaint, and b/c the vid. starts so late we don't know anything that happend which may have provoked him.

I'm not saying I love cops, but in both of these vids. we aren't given the whole story...

Here ya go whole thing

Yea, but we still don't know why exactly he was there in the first place. It's possible that they had already been told to turn the music down or something...

The guy acted like a jerk, don't get me wrong, but I assume there's more to it than he just showed up and started yelling :laugh2:

Most of the videos out there about cops all paint them in a negative light because people are trying to get a response.

It's like the "how's my driving" signs on the back of trucks?

Anyone think that people call in to complement a driver on their driving?

Hell no. That sign just says, "complain about me if you want".

Nobody cares to see about the cops who do their jobs professionally because that doesn't cause a stir.

Instead, people go out and film every cop they can so they can find the one ******* in the bunch and post it on the internet.

This guy tries his hardest to get the video he's looking for but he ran into the right cop and completely has his little video experiment shot to hell.

It is funny dealt with cops including as a kid where he stop me as I walked across the street cause I matched a description of kids he was looking for an questioned me. I have never had an issue with any cop because it is simple do not poke the pig they will maul you.

If you are calm and they act stupid in the end you win

Feh, 95% of cops are like this. It's why they're cops. I was on the phone with one the other day and this dude was being a complete racist. I plan on talking to him next week... at which point I'll be recording him and will try to post this same kind of behavior from another cop I'm dealing with at the moment.

Keep those cameras rolling.

Cool.

This is a complete distortion of reality. The truth is that there is a large segment of society who, for many different reasons, absolutely loathes law enforcement. They take the bad stories and run with them, completely ignoring the thousands of police officers who have saved lives and given their own in the protection of others. Many of the people who hate the police are those who enjoy pushing the line as far as they can and then crying foul when they finally get a police officer to bite on their troll.

Yes, there are bad police officers. Yes, some get into it for the power trip. But to say that 95% of cops are "like this" is inaccurate and disrespectful.

I think your view is distorted. Often times, in most cases, cops don't know whether what they're doing is ultimately good or bad. So we have a court to decide that... at least it decides it in some ways.

Additionally, it's a known personality trait for cops. Most of them are inherently bitter.

How many people are genuinely cops because they truly want to protect and serve the public?

I'd say most cops couldn't find a better paying job.. hence why they're a cop. Of course, there are exceptions. And maybe it's more like %80.... That's not the issue with me. My issue is the majority of the police are under-qualified and not suited to be police. Being a police officer is sort of what you do when all other things in life have failed you. Most of the time it means you didn't have any other options, which is why most cops are so bitter.

So why do they do it?

It's not exactly some high paying job.

They get little respect from a portion of the population.

Obviously there are cops who don't do it because of a desire to help. But you'll find that in any career. You think podiatrists have some overwhelming love for feet?

And I'm sure every criminal would agree with you. The reality is that those who do not value the law will always dislike those enforcing it, illogical as that is. People often blame police officers for the system. If you don't like getting arrested for weed, don't get mad at the police. Get mad at the law and those who made it. People also hold them to a double standard. They expect the police to protect others but not themselves and cry foul whenever someone resisting arrest or lashing out physically gets a baton to stomach.

Ever notice how almost every video documenting police brutality starts right at or in the middle of the "beating"? It has been well-documented that the media enjoys distorting public perception of the police by running clips with the lead up to the altercation edited out. Every riot video starts with the police hosing down the crowd or firing pepper spray, but you rarely see the bottle throwing and crowd violence that preceded it.

Additionally, it's a known personality trait for cops. Most of them are inherently bitter.

It's a "known" trait? Like it's "known" that all corporate CEOs are greedy money hoarders? Like it's "known" that all teachers are where they are because they can't do anything else but teach? Like it's "known" that all poor inner city kids are thugs? Like it's "known" that all Muslims are violent terrorists?

People "know" a lot of things.

How many people are genuinely cops because they truly want to protect and serve the public?

More than 5%.

Many departments require at least a two-year degree, and just about everyone requires a degree for any sort of advancement within the department. Many police officers go on to other careers after leaving law-enforcement, and most police officers first join very early in life before the possibility of exhausting all other options is even there. As far as being underqualified, what does that even mean? That's like saying 18 year olds aren't qualified to be in the Army. It's an orders-based business with a simplistic skillset, the majority of what any young cop does is dictated by those much older and more experienced.

People love to blame and demean others when they feel they have been wronged. Doctors are accused of being in it only for the money, lawyers are all bottom-feeding opportunists, teachers teach because they can't function in the "real" world, etc. They do these things because it's easier than thinking logically about either the wrong they did or the faulty system that the individual officers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. have no say in.

McCoy says these things about police officers because they are the easiest of targets. There are enough bad ones to make for decent headlines, and those who do good go largely unnoticed because that's just "what cops are supposed to do". Almost anything they do can potentially be turned against them and the reactionary public allows police officers to be thrown under the bus moreso than any other profession. The stress of the profession is ignored and people scream in anger when a cop harms someone who was trying to harm them.

Police enforce the law, some better than others. The problem is the law can fail, and when that happens even good cops get the blame. Other times everything is done by the book...and the cops still get blamed "because dey was jes' keepin' us down, man".
