As much as I distrust law enforcement, I get just as mad seeing people in videos acting really douchy towards good cops just trying to do their job.

I'm on chapter 3, i couldn't wait to recommend it. If my recommendation isn't enough, perhaps the Amazon reviews are.
So far it's been a very good read. I'll report back when i finish.

You realize this book and excerpts from it were in the very first post of this thread, correct?

We could only be so lucky to have law enforcement half as friendly and actually willing to talk to people in a civilized manner and explain things. That is how a cop should act. They are protecting and SERVING us after all, or supposed to be. They can afford to show us a little respect.
As much as I distrust law enforcement, I get just as mad seeing people in videos acting really douchy towards good cops just trying to do their job.

Apparently the girl being arrested was on suspicion of shoplifting, if she was getting hurt, it was at her own accord.

Carter’s pickup truck had a dashboard camera, but it had become unglued from its mounting after a cold front blew through San Antonio. But Carter was wearing a body microphone, and police have reviewed an audio recording of what happened next:
The recording captured Carter asking Redus to stop and put his hands on the truck, Pruitt said. Redus did so, but began to struggle when Carter started to handcuff him, Pruitt said.
During the six-minute confrontation, Carter told Redus 14 times to put his hands behind his back and told him three times that he was under arrest, Pruitt said. Carter told Redus to stop resisting 56 times, Pruitt said.
“There was a lot of communication,” he said.
At some point, Carter took out his collapsible baton to protect himself, Pruitt said.
Although there was “a very stark difference” between Carter’s size and the smaller student, Redus managed to take the baton away, pin the officer against a wall and hit him several times on the head and arm with the baton, Pruitt said. The rain and rocky landscaping might have made it hard for the officer to keep his footing, Pruitt said.
Carter refused medical treatment. But his injuries were consistent with being hit with a narrow object, Pruitt said.
“During the struggle, there were a lot of blows that he received,” the chief said.
Carter managed to get the baton back, and the struggle continued until Redus broke free, according to police.
Drawing his .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol, Carter then warned Redus four times to stop or he would shoot, Pruitt said. Then, Carter told police, Redus charged him with his arm raised as if to hit him.
Carter fired his gun six times, hitting Redus five times at close range — in the chest, neck, eye, arm and thigh — officials said.
Pruitt said the recording could be released at a later date with the district attorney’s approval. On Wednesday, First Assistant District Attorney Cliff Herbert said his office needs to receive the case, review it and conduct its own investigation. That could take months, he said.

reporters confused when they just witnessed an unarmed driver get killed by police on live TV.
20:30
I'm not saying that anything the driver did was excusable, but why is it always bullets first questions later? His light was green at the end; the guy he hit ran the red light...

Former East Haven cop Jason Zullo to be sentenced for obstruction on Monday
Former town police Officer Jason Zullo is expected to be sentenced Monday in federal court for obstruction of justice and could be sent to prison for 24 months.
...
Zullo pleaded guilty in October 2012 to one charge of obstruction of justice after admitting that he purposely left out of a police report the fact that his cruiser had repeatedly hit a motorcycle driven by Robert Salatto, with Salatto’s helmetless girlfriend riding on the back, when he was chasing them on Oct. 18, 2008.

Boston Police indefinitely suspends license plate reader program | Ars Technica
The Boston Police Department (BPD) has indefinitely halted its use of license plate readers (LPR) following an investigation published on Saturday into their use by the investigative journalism organization MuckRock and the Boston Globe.
...
One Harley Davidson motorcycle that had been reported stolen passed license plate scanners a total of 59 times between Oct. 19, 2012, and March 13, 2013. It was often recorded on sequential days or multiple times in a single day, all by the same scanner and almost always within the same half-hour span in the early evening.
Boston police chief technical officer John Daley indicated that each of these scans prompted an e-mail alert to the department’s Stolen Car Unit, but there is no indication that the motorcycle was ever apprehended or even stopped.
Some of the most frequent hits in the database were scanned in Boston police’s own employee parking lots. More than two hundred vehicles parked in the police substation lot in South Boston, a mix of official and personal vehicles, triggered scanner alerts over the six months. Police declined to discuss why they would be scanning the parking lot or why there would be so many potential violations.
...
The national office of the ACLU also recently published an analysis showing that of the over 204 million plates that were scanned in Washington, DC during 2012, just 0.01 percent of them even registered as being on the “hot list,” which can range from a minor infraction to being wanted of a major crime.
“It’s clear that in fact the reason that police departments are using this technology might not actually be the reason that they say they’re using it for,” Crockford added. “We found that in this case that they’re not following up on the stolen car hits and to us that says: the only [reason] that it’s being used is to collect huge troves of people’s movements.”

SB County DA’s office declines to file charges in October 2012 Shoppes shooting in Chino Hills
Brian Sloma, Addison Weeks, Kenneth Chan and Eugene Lee were driving on the 71 Freeway when off-duty Huntington Park police officer Ricardo Curiel allegedly began tailgating the four.
Sloma claims in court documents he tapped his brakes to get Curiel to back away, but that action allegedly enraged the off-duty officer.
Court records say Curiel allegedly became more aggressive and was tailgating the four in a dangerous and unsafe manner.
Sloma again tapped on his brakes which finally forced Curiel to distance his car from theirs, according to the civil complaint filed July 17 in Los Angelels Federal Court in Los Angeles.
Sloma drove the car into the parking lots of the Shoppes shopping center and after circling the parking lot being closely followed by Curiel, he pulled his car in a parking stall, according to reports.
Curiel pulled up behind the car in a felony stop formation, according to the complaint. That’s when shots were fired.
Authorities said the shooting was sparked by road rage but did not say who detectives believed was the aggressor or provide details of the incident.
...
The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s office announced Thursday it would not prosecute anyone involved in the Oct. 4, 2012, shooting that sent two young men to the hospital following an apparent road rage incident involving an off-duty Huntington Park police officer at the Shoppes Center.

Woman accidentally killed during Ohio drug raid | WBNS-10TV Columbus, Ohio
Authorities say a woman was killed in an accidental shooting by a law-enforcement officer during a drug raid in rural central Ohio.
A prosecutor in Ross County, south of Columbus, said 35-year-old Krystal Barrows, was accidentally shot in the head Wednesday night after officers entered a home to conduct the raid.
Prosecutor Matt Schmidt tells the Chillicothe Gazette ((http://ohne.ws/1c0PJMe ) that it wasn't clear whether the gunfire was the result of a weapon malfunction or user error. The county sheriff's office wouldn't answer questions about the shooting.
A sheriff's office news release said six people were charged during the raid and "large amounts" of heroin were found, along with cash and guns.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating.

dude gets pulled into secondary during a license check. They say it's because they can't determine he owns the plates to the car, but they really didn't check. Just looking for excuses to arrest someone for something unrelated to the stops they are performing.
notice they are looking in windows and even try to open his door without permission.

“This ************ is going to receive a welcome party at the jail.”
jailers delete video of an inmate who "hung himself"
arrested on bogus charges, called trash, winds up dead in jail and dies in custody. Corner determines the death is a homicide.
Must have been that welcome party at the jail the officer mentioned...
