To be honest and honest, this is purely a communication gap, at first that guy who is driving the taxi seems like a Pakistani or Indian (no idea but certainly from an Asian countries), the driver gestures drove that officer crazy, the driver every time spelling that OK OK OK, come on dude, let the officer finish what he wants to convey and then say alright at the end of the conversation.

If this were an isolated incident, you'd have a point. If it weren't in New York, the most international of American cities, you'd have a point. But neither is true. This is how American cops ARE. He wasn't even extreme. He just got caught.

OMG!
This is not the way things are supposed to be handled by a police officer..That cab driver was behaving so politely...
Officer is, to be put in plain manner, a bully...
Police are for the people... this is not the way it is supposed to be done... nope... can't be accepted


Therein lies the crux of the problem. That idea has been very successfully sold. Cops are NOT for the people. While a few of them may INTEND to do good for the people, it is the government that they serve and protect. As early as 1867 the Supreme Court of the United States held that the police have NO duty to protect or respond to the citizens. Given that Police forces were first in the United states just five years prior to that, it's pretty well established (though downplayed) who they actually serve.

emphasis added

Do you have a cite for the 1867 Supreme Court case? I have searched for it and cannot find what this is referring to.

I may have been misinformed on this one. I can't seem to find it now, either. Earliest cases I am currently finding are in the early 1960's, and there have been a number of them, both in the supreme and lower courts, all with the same ruling: Police have NO duty to protect or even respond to individuals. I'm gonna keep looking, I know there was such cases in the mid 19th century, but it may not have been the Supreme Court.


It remains true that the subjects of the empire are NOT whom the cops protect and serve.

Oh no! Didn't expect this from a police officer.
What was he thinking?
No. Not acceptable.

Having lived in what used to be America for 46 years, I don't think this is happening more often, I just think that with everybody and their pet fish owning a cell phone, we're now being treated to how common it really is.


And part of the reason it's so common is the ability to misbehave without consequence. Now that the ubiquity of cameras can help hold misbehaving cops accountable, maybe they'll act more professionally.

It is likely happening less often than before, however the average citizen didn't have the ability to easily record and distribute footage a couple decades the way we can today.

The cell phone camera will be the greatest tool for cleaning up corrupt officials.  That being said there is still a strong union defending even poorly behaving cops that step outside of their legal authority.

I don't know if it's happening less than before, but we are more aware of it now for certain. We have the ability to solve it, nonetheless, so now we just need to follow through and solve it.

I listened to a interesting podcast talking about gangs and how the Polish and Irish gangs disappeared when they where considered white. A large amount of the gang members then went and joined the police force at that time. So there is some interesting history and you add in the war vets coming home with all kinds of issues joining the police force.

Are they making the police force more militarized to help them fit in and help their PTSD? Roll Eyes

I think you have the wrong cause, though the effect is right. The central government is not legally allowed to have a domestic army nor use the army for domestic social engineering. I am referring both to the constitution and the Posse Comitatus act. to get around that, and still have exactly the same thing, they need a highly uniform force that is not legally defined as military. They have been working towards this for a few generations.

Of course such an organization would appeal to and directly recruit ACTUAL soldiers as much as they could.

Oh, and the gangs didn't disappear, they changed the colors they wear. No technical difference between a cop and a crip. Except honesty. A crip will usually not pretend to have your best interests at heart while beating the shit out of you.

I'd like to hope so, but a group of thugs with, literally, a license to kill on a whim are not likely to give up their power easily. I think it will get far worse before it gets better. The Spirit of '76 is pretty well dead in most Americans. Hopefully this, among other recent trends, will revive it and we will once again BE a beacon of liberty, instead of the police state we have devolved into.

That's where your taxes go. Be happy.
Looking at all these cops videos from all the countries I can tell you in Italy cops are the best, there are some douches but all in all they almost always try to be nice at least and still we get ACAB writings everywhere. I wish those people got to know these american cops.

Cops swear to serve and protect... but whom? You only pay their salary after it has been extracted from you upon threat of being put in a cage. You are not who they serve and protect.

Had the cop pulled over a local politician (and realized it), the whole encounter would have been different.

Is it we are catching them doing this more or a reflection of how bad it is to be a cop these days?

Just throwing that out because I think the whole idea of ptsd might factor in a little.

The police have more problems domestically than there are in the streets. Until we solve that continue lacking discipline and education among them.
