Forget what happened once she got to jail... You honestly think the treatment during the stop and subsequent arrest of Sandra Bland was justified?

Agree. Police deserved to humiliated for all being peices of trash.

Once again (and it's ridiculous that this has to keep getting pointed out) there is a fairly large spectrum of consequences between nothing and a felony charge.

The red herring, the strawman, the ad hominem, the false dichotomy, and moving the goalposts (and then interestingly enough still missed). This guy is putting on a fairly impressive clinic in the use of logical fallacies in his arguments.

And all that was just what I could find in this thread over the last several pages.

I arrested a guy who had 2 national extradition (1 out of Georgia, 1 out of Alabama) warrants just last week for speeding.

...but, yeah...cite, extort, collect.

Just think of how many more "criminals" you could catch without the 4th Amendment.

With the exception of the initial decision to arrest for her refusal to take the ticket, yes. I think every police trainer out there would say that.

Had she been a 20 year old Male, sketchy looking, would you object this much? I doubt it.

Look at this dangerous criminal

79-year-old woman sentenced to 10 days in jail for feeding stray cats

The neighborhood where my sister lives had a lady that did this. She fed cats.... cats came... multiplied like hell.... feral cats all over the neighborhood.... then the dimwit started feeding skunks. The skunks started coming in large numbers too. They started nesting under homes and stinking the place up. They burrowed under my sister’s house... pissed everywhere and sprayed. They had to hire someone to remove them, disinfect the crawl space and replace their moisture barrier. It took months for the smell to finally go away.

So do you call the police or animal control in that situation?

I think various neighbors did both. It was out of control. My parents lived five houses down from my sister and skunks got under their deck, but thankfully not under the house.
You wouldn’t believe the number of cats that were roaming their neighborhood.

Some cans of cat food with a couple aspirin sprinkled in would clear that problem up quickly.

It’s is BS to be subjected to that crap. Can you imagine that happening to you on your job?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had exponentially worse thrown at me. And though many times it’s been by patients who weren’t in their right state of mind, just as frequently it’s been by douchebags who know exactly what they’re doing.

And before we start constructing straw men, I’m not condoning it happening to anybody. Just saying that law enforcement isn’t the only profession that gets mistreated and nobody’s calling for felonies when it happens elsewhere.

I’m just saying it’s bullsheet regardless of the profession. Guys with super soakers stroll into the bank and douse the tellers.... the cashiers at Kroger....or the medical professionals in the ER...... it would suck

This is a LEO thread and it was on the news. Discussion occurs. Don’t like it click another thread or write another post. Its not a strawman argument when it happens with intent. You really cannot compare mentally Ill people to maladjusted youths who should have enough common sense to know how to act.

Our police force needs to be retrained. Right now it seems that they believe they are trained a military force and the public is the enemy. Perhaps they should spend a little more time getting to know the people and business owners in their patrol areas and a little less time sitting in parking lots trying to nab speeders.

Its official, you are an expert.

If you don't like the way law enforcement, government or the world works, then get out from behind your keyboard and do something about it.

Such as???

The people that are in LEO would have much more of an effect from the inside than any entity or group of civilians from the outside. If the cops don't think change is necessary, than nothing I could do would fix it.

The burden to make things better is on you and other law enforcement officers, not on the civilians.
