that's part of their job descriptions. murdering people, covering it up, and pretending that they are immune because they carry a badge isn't.
Can you prove that it isn't?
Yes, yes I can. I'm sure if I go to the local police station and ask for an officer's job description, that nowhere in there will it say that.
Meh. Cleaning my desk isn't part of my desc and I've done it

Cop Who Sought Photos of Teen’s Erection in Sexting Case Commits Suicide Moments Before Arrest
Police Detective David Edward Abbott, a member of the Northern Virginia-Washington D.C. Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, committed suicide Tuesday before law enforcement could arrest him on suspicion of sexually abusing minors.
Abbott, you will recall, was the detective in the noteworthy teen sexting case from July 2014, in which the authorities sought a warrant to take the 17-year-old male suspect to the hospital, inject him with a drug that would give him an erection, photograph his genitals, and compare the photo with existing pictures of his genitals the police had confiscated from his 15-year-old girlfriend’s phone.
The teen was eventually sentenced to one year of probation. Here’s the kicker: Abbott sued the teen’s lawyer for defamation. The lawyer, Jessica Foster, remarked to the media that the warrant to take pornographic pictures of her client—to be used as evidence that he was guilty of creating child pornography—was “crazy.”
“Who does this?” Foster had said. “It’s just crazy.”
Abbott said the comments caused him severe emotional distress; he claimed he was threatened and called a pedophile, according to NBC.
Authorities now believe Abbott was a pedophile. He had inappropriate contact with two young boys, ages 11 and 13, according to patch.com. Police attempted to arrest him at his home earlier today, but he refused to surrender and eventually shot himself.
While this outcome is certainly a tragedy for his family, the revelations about Abbott should underscore two things: His treatment of the 17-year-old in the sexting case was unconscionable, and laws criminalizing sexting between teens are intrusive and easily abused. There actually was a truly depraved sexual monster in this case, it just wasn’t the teenager.

Teens probably sext more than the adult population. They probably need to re think how they go about prosecuting that age group.

Yeah, like, don't fucking prosecute them at all because they're not doing anything wrong, you puritanical psychopaths.

Anybody watching Making a Murderer on Netflix? Its a masterclass in cops being the worst. Obviously a horrible crime was committed in that case but looking behind the scenes during the investigation has been...unsettling.

They didn't shoot everyone there. I consider this a CPD win.

Cops killed over 1,100 people this year. Just over 100 officers were killed on duty. So at least they are winning the war on people.

The Washintong Post just published a study on fatal police shootings in 2015, the data set is here covering all 980 deaths:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics ... shootings/
Some take-aways:
1.) Mental illness was the key factor in 25% of fatal shootings
2.) In 3/4 of shootings the police were under attack or defending someone who was
3.) 9% of those fatally shot were unarmed, of those 41% were black. ~3.78% of people killed were unarmed black men shot by white cops (37 total)
4.) 1/4 involved fleeing suspects
5.) Nearly 1/3 involved car chases after routine traffic stops
Unrelated numbers to give some context to just how bad these racist, murdering cops are:
1.) ~500 people are killed being hit by trains each year in the US
2.) ~350 people are hit by lightening (40-50 killed) in the US each year
3.) ~125 killed by hitting a deer with their car each year
4.) ~20 people are killed by cows each year
5.) ~100 people die each year from being scalded by tap water
6.) ~12 people die from injuries sustained playing high school football each year
