Watching this video is a reminder that if we could just enforce a minimum level of cardiovascular health via something like a three mile run time limitation or something like that the police force would naturally weed out people with poor impulse control and probably be overall a more humane and decent force.

#42Looks like you need to have a hidden camera system monitoring your camera system.
Yeah I wonder on what grounds the police can start unplugging shit in your house. This also happened in the Adrian Schoolcraft case - when the police burst into his house to take him in he was recording audio on one device which they found, unplugged and destroyed ... but they failed to find the second device (which is how we know). It's kinda wild how if the police might have a grudge against you, you'll have to set…
the argument the police use is that the cameras could assist a bad guy in an ambush

Read up on “qualified immunity.” My only slightly exaggerated take is that police on duty can do whatever they want to whomever they want - up to and including killing someone - and not be held liable.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualified_immunity : In the United States, qualified immunity is a legal principle that grants government officials performing discretionary (optional) functions immunity from civil suits unless the plaintiff shows that the official violated "clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known".[1] I'm sure killing people violates cle…
Well, that's why cops carry a drop knife or throwdown pistol, to plant on somebody they wrongly kill in the line of duty.
Dave Chappelle's "Sprinkle some crack on him and let's get out of here" wasn't just fanciful comedy.

Sometimes they are but then very serious people say it's a tragedy.

When asked for comment, Adams County Sheriff Kimmy Rogers said the result of a neighboring sheriff’s office investigation into Afroman’s claim is imminent. He also that the attention the rapper’s songs have generated has turned into a wave of threats against his deputies. “I can handle it, but I don’t appreciate some of the messages coming in about Adams County deputies getting ambushed, ‘I hope they die slow,’” Roge…
“We can break in to your house with guns, but don’t say mean things about us.” is about what I would expect from US cops.

#50I’m telling you, the only way out of this mess is to eliminate qualified immunity, and becoming a cop should entail forfeiting many civil rights in exchange for insurmountable amount of power a cop has. US police is basically a military, and should be treated as such.
At the very least, a federal department to review issues with local police departments is necessary.
Right now cops investigate their friends and themselves. It’s global news when one decides to even fire (not even arrest) a friend despite video evidence of a crime. This shouldn’t happen. It should be possible for the public to submit evidence to a federal police review board and let them handle investigations in a less biased manner.
When a cop carries out an illegal search or decides to kill someone in a fit of rage as often happens, that should be well out of the domain of local police investigation and should go straight to the federal government.
