Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents[W:76]

I'm generally a great supporter of the various law enforcement entities that keep people safe and able to live normal lives.

They generally don't however. Most crime wouldn't experience any sort of substantial increase without police and they are generally late to situations when there is a need of their services.

Yes, if you try to protect the life of an officer you have a good chance of being arrested or even beaten by the cop you saved. It's best to just watch them get killed if they are in danger, sorry. :shrug:

Don't say "sorry" when you don't mean it. Your views on cops are well known to me. Not only would you not help, you'd be smiling while watching.

Yep, any displays of humanity while wearing a badge makes you a worthless waste of oxygen. Maybe if we're lucky, they'll do the honorable thing, right? When was the last time someone expressed sadness over a cop losing his/her life or acknowledging a job well done? Actually, getting away from law enforcement is probably the best thing to happen to them. I swear they should all just walk off the job since almost nobody gives a **** about what happens to them anyway.

Unpopular Police Officer Thinking About Committing Racially Motivated Offense For A Little Support

INDIANAPOLIS—Tired of being overlooked by everyone in his precinct, unpopular Indianapolis Police Department officer Kyle Norris told reporters Wednesday he was considering committing a racially motivated offense to generate a little support. “To be honest, I’m not the most well-known or looked-up-to guy around here, but I’m thinking that if I get caught up in a controversy after shooting a minority resident under questionable circumstances, things would really change for me,” said Norris, who added that having his coworkers immediately rally around him after the incident, watching consecutive nights of public demonstrations defending his actions, and finally receiving praise directly from the chief of police would be a nice change of pace from his day-to-day life as an ignored and unappreciated member of the force.

No, watching also puts you in danger. It's best to move along if you see a cop on the losing side of a situation.

That's what I've been saying. If those "people" still feel their lives are worth living after all this, that community has failed.

OK I was gone from the board for 2 weeks and thus I haven't seen all the posts regarding Ferguson. However, as far as I can tell, in all the posts on DP about all the things that happened in Ferguson no one has posted even a word about the officers who went home after their duty shift and baked batches of cookies and handed them out to protesters the next day.

I don't agree at all, but then I don't personally have a fear of police or law enforcement and I've never committed a crime, although I have sped on occasion and accept my punishment when caught. I believe police prevent lots of crime, particularly in large cities, by their very presence as well as by investigating crime before and after it happens.

Is it?

PoS said:
Sadly I dont think the majority of cops in the country believe in that anymore. The old saying of "to serve and protect" has long since fallen into disuse, now its, "dont mess with us or you will be shot/tasered/arrested". Most cops now think they are no longer civilians and instead believe they are a paramilitary unit that can enforce the law however they see fit.

I think that's going to an extreme. Most people follow the law and appreciate it when the town they live in is safer at night or when officers do all the many things they need to like direct traffic after an accident, respond to an emergency call.

Yes--just as you did a mere eight eight hours ago.
Why would your Sen. Cruz try to outflank Sen. Paul on who can criticize the Ferguson police in the most politically correct way ?

I get it. X Factor lacks object permanence. If he is not currently looking at positive comments about police officers, he doesn't realize they exist.

However, most of the people who protest government actions by looting and vandalizing property don't appreciate police officers for some reason.

Looting and vandalizing is nothing compared to expressing anger on "social media" or *gasp* swearing in a high stress situation. The latter should die a painful slow death. Anything else is a miscarriage of justice.
 
Re: Police officer resigns, another is fired after Ferguson incidents

No it isn't--I respect her for staying on the road to positivity and expressing all of our appreciation to police.
Not to mention prison employees and officers, like my retired brother.
Or a cousin who is a cop out east.

Why do you hate cops so much? You keep talking about how you want them to die. That's really extreme of you.

I'm just agreeing with all of you. Really, when we're talking about cops, is there any such thing as being too extreme? Certainly we shouldn't show any kind of compassion or understanding. Just trying to to get on board with the popular thought. Granted, I know a lot of cops and it'll take some time to start regarding them all as scum but I'll try.

Please Xy--yer one of my favorite people on this board when yer not like this.
A great moderate DEM governor has been tarred-and-feathered by the Black community unfairly.

And where are the GOPs walking their "moderate" line defending him?
Why has Sen. Blunt-R Missouri been so silent?

Yer astute enough to see this election slipping away from GOPs on their month off as they keep talking.
Meanwhile, GOPs have turned up the volume as to how they're going to wipe out the Dems, a sure sign of weakness .

My comment wasn't meant to be positive or negative. There is no telling what will happen to you in a situation where the police are under attack. The police or the criminal could turn on you, so it's best to not get involved or stay around and watch.

Officer Go **** Yourself has been forced to resign, and another officer who posted on social media sites that the Ferguson protesters should all be put down like rabid dogs has been fired.

Both decisions were good decisions. Police officers do not own the community. They work FOR the community, and the community is the boss, not them. I know that tensions have been running high in Ferguson, but if you threaten to kill people, then you do not deserve to wear a badge under ANY circumstances. End of discussion....... Or is it?

It's interesting that neither of these officers was involved in the actual incident. I still think there's some kind of systemic problem in the department.

We all love good cops. The op is about BAD cops, and the fact that they should be purged from ALL departments!!
