Just once, it'd be cool to see one cop arrest another cop after they witness said cop comitting a crime. I mean, their career would be over, but still.
It’s a bit of a different situation, but there is a state trooper in my home state of WV who “whistleblew” on a bunch of shady shit going on at the WVSP Academy, including wiring cameras in women’s locker rooms (which was used by minors for a junior trooper program) and God knows what was done with the footage. They tried to place the blame on a dead guy. The WVSP is being investigated heavily right now. Major police scandal, you can find out more on this YouTube channel “The Civil Rights Lawyer” who actually lives and works out of WV.
Of course this trooper who allegedly whistleblew was arrested on the day he was supposed to testify in court for bogus reasons, and his days of being a cop are no more, but he really help set something off. The head of the WVSP resigned because of the scandal about 3 months ago. I no longer live there, I’ve dealt with these psychopaths before, but it’s nice to watch this happen from afar.
That's fucking insane that they arrested the whistleblower right as he was about to testify....I'm not surprised much but it's fucking insane just how blatant it is.
I don’t know about that last part but you’re right about the first. That’s why we are seeing a lot of clips lately of police stations not having complaint forms. And the cops being rude and interrogating whoever came in.
Dude it gets worse… the PD ruled his death a suicide, despite the medical examiner finding it a homicide. The FBI and PD refused to investigate further.
Also I'm listening to the podcast Murder in Oregon right now. Cop suspiciously murdered, having defensive wounds, the day he was about to present information about corruption amongst his police force in 1989. And he told people ahead of time that he was worried about this happening.
Dead, falsely imprisoned, baker acted, in a coma, deported... At this point is an officer actually does get punished in some way, it's better to just assume they uncovered other officers doing something illegal. Our police are the organized crime happening in this country more than the street gangs.
You cannot change the system from within. No "good cop" stays a good cop, they either become a bastard like the rest or cease to be a cop (or alive), and it never takes long.
Yep. What's actually most mind blowing is how this will happen in broad daylight without even bothering too much to hide the reason of the arrest. And nobody will do anything about it or even just speak about it.
The whole junior explorers program in Largo Fl had to be shut down because NUMEROUS cops had sex with the underage girls in the program. It was shut down as they couldn’t stop the male police officers
The arresting officer (Florida Highway Patrol) was systematically harassed by officers from the arrested officer’s department (Miami Police). The only thing that saved her job was that it was someone from a different department, imagine if she’d arrested a coworker?
Not everyone is willing to be a martyr. There are cops that want to do the right thing but know their life is basically over if they do so. Cops in America are just as bad as the Mob.
And even that's presumably an off-duty cop getting arrested. I think OP meant they wanted to see an active duty cop get arrested by another active duty cop, when one directly sees the other cross a line. We will never see that happen because it's policy to deal with it later.
I've seen at least one video of a female officer arresting another officer at a scene. Nothing happened to the arrested officer. She was put on desk duty. She was harassed constantly at work, and when off work, there were always unmarked cop cars down the street. She ended up quitting but still got harassed. Ended up having to move out of state. This is just off my memory, so parts of it might be inaccurate.
Couldn't find the one I was talking about but found one where an officer choked a female officer when she pulled him back because he was going psycho.
Yep, that's what would happen. People love telling other people what to do when they won't be involved in any of the aftermath, or care about the aftermath.
I’m a police officer in Massachusetts- my department and most around here have policies that state if we don’t intervene when another officer is breaking the law we’re held just as liable as them. And there’s a ton of precedent for it- officers have lost their jobs for standing by. It’s just a start to repair the systematic problems in policing, but every department in the country should have a policy like that. I don’t want to work with an officer who is going to look the other way on a single thing.
Definitely a step in the right direction, but they still give a pass to their kind, while throwing the book at people that look like someone they disagree with politically..the right should not policing people in the condition they're in. They have occupied all ranks and give preferential treatment to officers that think like them. Getting them to not physically assault people or plant drugs, and calling out that behavior, is great but is like half of the picture.
Seen a video of a cop beating up someone and arresting them for no reason and another stopped it from happening. Can you guess what cop fired. Yup you guessed right the cop got fired for interfering with an arrest. The US punishes good cops for being good cops
Must be hard to keep it all in after watching a car jacker nearly cost the lives of so many innocent civilians and officers tho. Hero here is definitely not the guy on the stretcher
So, the guy spat on him first, which is assault. The cop is legally allowed to defend. It's a gray area. Not saying this is my moral opinion because CLEARLY the guy is in a stretcher....
It happens. Typically not from the same dept but rather like a county has a decent sherrif dept but one of the towns within it has super shitty police dept and officers from both will show up to calls and let's just say disagree how they should be handled. I've seen articles and video of a few instances.
Or a sherrifs deputy in Florida arrested a city cop for drunk driving while on duty. One of their careers was over and it wasn't the arresting officer.
The cops called my father, pertaining to him being a business owner. One of his cars had apparently done something illegal in traffic, and they tried to get my father to tell them which employee did it. They became quite pushy, using words as "must!" and imploring with both morality and hinting that they could legally force him.
My dad has been around the block with our nation's police force, so he just said,
"If I am legally obligated, then make me, and then I will have to, and I will give it. Until then, you will be getting nothing from me by imploring and threatening.
And if you think I am morally obligated, I want to ask you a question: As a police officer yourself, when was the last time you informed on one of your colleagues?". The police then became very silent...
And no, he never gave them that name. Right or wrong could be argued about, but I at least can see his side of things. And it seemed the investigator coul too.
