More stink wafting off the Dafonte Miller mess. Cops that arrived on scene and arrested the victim argued that they had no reason to take formal statements as informal statement made by an off-duty cop was sufficient to conclude their investigation. The cops argued there was no pro-police bias. Wtaf. You have one guy beaten within an inch of his life by a roid head and you don't even conduct an investigation?

Officers found guilty of discreditable conduct by OIPRD. They have 30 days to appeal. Then sentencing will occur. Beating took place in 2016. PSA needs to change.

Statistically they will get a few months demotion and continue on doing their job poorly for 120K a year until they retire. They didn't shine a light on police disfunction so the chance of termination approaches zero. Given that Miller is suing the police, I expect them to hand out an even lighter sentence than usual so they can argue that losing an eye barely matters and settlement should be minimal at best.

Correction? Would that not be, suing the taxpayer.

They will settle with Miller... They settle most of them because they don't want the cases, and their wrongdoings, to be exposed in a court room. There's no admission of guilt in a settlement.
Hopefully Miller suit involves the shitbag family of cops.. personally.

It's sad that public entities are spending so much on settlements to avoid exposing the dirtbags within. If you looked at it objectively, airing dirty laundry is a good thing as that leads to less dirty laundry. Having an unlimited budget to suppress government employees looking bad cannot continue forever.

I know, the same process happens in private entities all the time and I don't like it there either but that's not my money so they can do what they want.
 
Is it taxpayers or insurance paying for police settlements/lawsuits?
Does it matter? Either taxpayers pay directly or insurance pays and then jacks up premiums and the increased premiums are paid by the taxpayers (and insurance companies don't lose so expect premiums to be in the ballpark of settlements plus overhead plus profit). These aren't one-off events, there is a constant flow of settlements.
 
In the USA convicted felons can't possess firearms or in most states, vote. Here???
That may be on the chopping block for the current US Supreme Court, in the coming year, due to this judgment. Federal officials are going to have to appeal the judgment if they want to maintain the limitations on felons. As it was a ruling by a Federal judge, the Supreme Court may be the only possible venue for appeal. Given their recent track record, I don't hold out much hope.

 
Rambo would have done it but Rambo isn't reality.

If the deputy ran in with couple of Uzis blazing how much collateral damage would he have done?

Cruz, the gunman, had nothing to lose and could fire at anything. He wanted collateral damage.

The comments about job responsibility seemed to have been clarified after the event.

"As parents, we have an expectation that armed school resource officers - who are under contract to be caregivers to our children - will do their jobs when we entrust our children to them and the schools they guard,” Pryor said in a statement. “They have a special role and responsibilities that exceed the role and responsibilities of a police officer. To those who have tried to make this political, I say: It is not political to expect someone to do their job.”

Peterson did not have a bulletproof vest if that is a factor with an AR-15. He was armed but with what?

Expectations are tough calls. What did his job description outline as possible threats and what tools did he get to compensate for the envisioned threats?

Is a crossing guard expected to jump in front of a speeding car?

Is a fire watch expected to charge into a blazing building with a five pound extinguisher?

He's not a hero but neither are the gun worshipers that push guns as solutions.
 
Police dog "died in the line of duty". Ummm. If a policer officer eats so many drugs during an arrest that they die, is that "in the line of duty" or way off the reservation into failed training or outright criminal behaviour?

 
That's 100% on the cop. Maybe keep both eyes on your dog when he's up close and personal with fentanyl?
 
They ingested it. It doesn't clarify if they ate it or absorbed it in some other way..
That article says they administered narcan.. but it was actually meth.
