Quoted: Quoted: A very, very small fraction of cops are bad, and give the other 4% a bad name. Lol. You keep believing that. We get videos like this every other day. While it doesn't apply in this instance., how often do we see other officers on the scene immediately restrain or arrest the officer that is clearly breaking the law or violating policy? |

Quoted: Sounds like it’s best just to not hire cops. View Quote Somehow, I have managed to get through life unscathed without ever requesting assistance from them.

Quoted: Edgy, But I don't think anyone is going to play... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: In for the apologists justifications. you'd be wrong lowcountrydirtrider says it's justified under community caretaking doctrine because the child must have been in distress meaning the officer needed to enter. Yes, am aware, but every case is unique. Was the child at the door in distress, prompting officer to enter to investigate? |

Quoted: So where did this supposedly happen? I have no idea who Lackluster is. He seems like a Youtube Video Sherlock or under-employed trial lawyer. If indeed it did happen, some Sheriff sure needs to get his deputies better versed on how to answer calls. No law enforcement officer in their right mind would bust into a house following kids that were going to get their parent to come to the front door. It's a damn good way to end one's shift in their own personal body bag. Homeowners have no duty to retreat in this state and many others, even if the home invader thinks he's immune and has God-like qualities. View Quote Don't need to be much of a Sherlock, just watch cops for a little bit and BAM something like this will happen. It's like finding cockleburs in a forest - very little effort is needed and frequently they just find you. |

Quoted: That guy needs fired. He could likely be charged if a states attorney looked at it I’d imagine. All states (some do now) should have a registry for fired LE to prevent them from obtaining jobs at other agencies. View Quote That guy needs to be fired. Every cop that showed up at that call and allowed this to happen needs to be fired. The sgt who oversaw that cop needs to be fired. Either the training officer or the hiring officer needs to be fired the chief who put in place and oversaw a department where this kind of shit could go on needs to be fired. And yes, there needs to be some sort of registry of fired cops. AND of cops who quit while under investigation. Resigning frequently means you don't get on the naughty list. And it frequently means any sort of investigation either internal or criminal ends. Those investigations need to run their course even if the cop resigns. |

Quoted: If qualified cops cannot be hired, then barely qualified cops will be hired. If barely qualified cops cannot be hired, then unqualified cops will be hired. If Americans will not apply, then foreigners will be hired. And they will not come from countries where the rights of the people are respected. View Quote This is absolute bullshit. It's also a way to say it's not really the cop's fault and/or stop being so hard on the cops. Let's look at accountant tax fraud. How many of those accountants who commit tax fraud are just 'making mistakes' due to them being barely qualifed. Answer- almost none. The accountants who are committing tax fraud are generally well qualified. They do it because they think that there isn't much oversight and because they can get away with it. Same with cops. We built a system where cops train cops - and they are teaching eachother how to get away with shit NOT teaching what the constitution is, what their oath means, what's legal and illegal for them to do. It's easier to teach the laws regarding entering a home than it is to teach that officer to iron his shirt properly. And even if that cop knew the laws regarding entering a home. He just didn't care. And you can't train people to care. You do two things. You hire people that you think actually care about the law and you have a system that holds them accountable when they break the law. This is NO different than the fact that people shoplift because they know if they steal just a few hundred dollars or less it's going to be swept under the rug. What's next? You going to tell me that the shoplifters are shoplifting due to being unqualified to run the self-checkout? |

Quoted: So once they did get the full story did they charge the deputy? View Quote Not sure what the outcome is, but they should have reported it up the chain and I would hope this guy is on his way to getting fired and/or charged. It’s also likely these guys really didn’t know the full story of what happened until they either saw this video posted or were called in by their chain of command (assuming there is an investigation into this) These guys probably just went onto the next call after leaving there. |

Quoted: Quoted: In this case, it is. The vast majority of cops know better than to do what that cop did. Does it happen? Yes, but very rarely because the cop knows he will get the shit sued out of him. This cop was truly one of the very stupid ones and will pay dearly for his blunder. Prior to streaming video and the internet this kind of thing probably happened a little more, but with nearly every encounter being recorded, even the bad cops know not to do something so blatant and stupid. Sternly worded letter in his file? Serious question - These guys always have a history of this shit and behaviour like this makes his colleagues jobs more difficult so why doesn't behaviour like this get fixed via peer pressure? |

Bottom line summary, "the cop had no lawful authority to be in that home, he should be fired, charged with home invasion, unlawful restraint, ..forced entry knowing that people were inside.., kidnapping, battery or assault,; , if it's any other human being on the planet you have every lawful right to end their life,".

Quoted: The guy barricaded for days in there. Remember, kindler and gentler is what the liberals have forced upon us. You have to make sure you do everything you can not to kill someone especially when you have the time to use every single option. View Quote We want cops that will do the needful when it's lawful. What we don't need are a bunch of cops that want to do the needful to everyone they encounter. This is an example of a govt stooge doing stooge shit. An alarm was triggered. They ID'd the homeowner and that should have been that. But copper couldn't just let it be, so he proved why, yet again, you don't let fucking cops into your house unless they have a warrant, are willing to break your door down, or there's some other reason you need them there. |

View Quote That’s what would typically happen in an internal investigation. If I recall correctly, it’s often a policy violation to not activate their body cams. Discipline should then be met out if needed based upon a review, which I hope they do. To just blanket fire all people who showed up after the fact doesn’t make sense. They’ll likely review the recorded dispatch audio as well. Either way, at least one person needs fired in that video, not necessarily all. |

Fortunately I worked for pretty good agencies that took care of problem children But I know of one small city agency in the County I work for that 80% of the cops would probably act like this idiot. It’s culturally corrupt from the top to the bottom. People are usually relieved when a Deputy Sheriff shows up because of how different our agencies are. Some LEAs need to be disbanded |

I've often wondered this. What if you have a situation where a cop is illegally in your home and you really have to urinate.
what if you whipped it out and urinated in your own home in the general direction of the officer. What would he arrest you for? Urinating in your own home? If he actually arrested you, how could he justify that when he's not supposed to be there anyway. There was one video where a cop stuck his foot in the door and wouldn't remove it. I would have 100% pissed on his foot. |

Quoted: Cop is investigating a noise complaint. Cop rings the doorbell, kids answer door, they realize a cop is standing on the porch and so they run to get their mother. Officer proceeds to open the door, invites himself in the house and refuses to leave when asked to leave. Homeowner demands cop leaves, cop says he owns the house if he is standing inside and that he doesn't have to leave. Officer then drags woman outside and arrests her for contempt of cop. At what point is the cop an armed home invader? What could possibly justify this thinking? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfGooi1JJUg View Quote It’s called an “unconsented to” entry and therefore was clearly illegal. Kids don’t have the authority to consent. Only adult home owners or whatever adult’s name is on the lease (if a rental). If the cop had had a proper arrest or search warrant, no consent is required. |
