Store video catches Cop Bullying Woman

[lovejoy]

The abuse of power can be clearly shown in the tape.

How can someone with a badge chocked and assaulted a woman in front of five to six people and got away with it unless he is a cop !


They moonlighted for big comapnies, crown corporation and in the name of national security, arrest anyone and set you up. Sad !

It's ridiculous that people continue to bad mouth police officers. My dad has been on the force for 20+ years and has done a hell of a job. He works in a jail and takes guys to and from prison. He's witnessed things that even to this day he won't talk about to me. My uncle was an undercover agent for 20 years and recently retired to desk work only after his health was dragged down because of the situations he placed himself in to keep drugs from being sold. Are some police officers corrupt or bad people? Sure, just like an every profession, it's not an excuse but if you had to put up with assholes every day you'd be a little pissed off now and then.

Nobody is bad mouthing police officers. People are bad mouthing police officer.

This guy should be fired. I would hope your dad and uncle would not support a fellow officer who beats up and puts his gun in the face of a 20 year old innocent girl......and then try to cover it up by threating the store clerk.

Their job is nothing more than that; a job. Why should a police officer be punished with more severity if his/her crime completely contradicts what they do for a living? Other than the fact that they hold the title of a police officer, I see no justified reason as to why such action should be taken. What I mean is...

A firefighter's job is to put out fires. As a society, we put our trust into firefighters to extinguish fires when we need them. Now, if a firefighter violates our trust and commits arson, should they serve a more severe punishment than anyone else who commits arson? No.

An anger management therapist's job is to help people control their anger issues. As a society, we put our trust into anger management therapists to assist people in controlling their rage and outbursts. Now, if an anger management therapist violates our trust and snaps one day, beating up a man who gave them a dirty look, should they serve a more severe punishment than anyone else who gets arrested for battery? No.

A drug rehab counselor's job is to help people recover from drug addiction. As a society, we put our trust into drug rehab counselors to encourage people to stay off of drugs. Now, if a drug rehab counselor violates our trust and snorts cocaine on the weekends, should they serve a more severe punishment than anyone else who gets busted using drugs? No.

A police officer's job is to enforce and uphold the law. As a society, we put our trust into police officers to eliminate law breakers from our streets, making our cities a safer place to live. Now, if that police officer gets caught going 98MPH in a 65MPH, should they serve a more severe punishment than anyone else who gets caught speeding? ...yes?

I know that we all have our own points of view on police officers and whether or not they should be held to a higher standard than everyday citizens, but do you see my point?

Personally, I think it's unfair to condemn someone with such ferocity just because their job is that of a police officer.

Now, in the case of this guy, he was on duty, so he should be punished for his actions that violated the code of conduct for a police officer. But, that's only because he was on duty. If he was off duty, it would be a completely different story.



I agree that he took advantage of his badge, but I still don't think that police officers should be held to some unreasonable standard of perfection. Everybody makes mistakes and nobody is perfect; even if you wear a badge and carry a gun.



Obviously his actions were way out of line and I'm not saying that they weren't. But, you are forgetting that his son was involved in this so you can't deny that personal, family-related emotions had something to do with this. This officer could have a perfectly clean record of service and, before this incident, could've been the cleanest, most respectful officer on the force. Why should all of that be erased just because of one mistake? Nobody is perfect. And, like I said before, if his son wasn't involved with this, I am willing to bet that his actions would've been nothing like they were.

But, to answer your question...no, I wouldn't want someone who freaks out over a fender bender to patrol the streets. But, once again, you can't forget that his son was involved in this, which could've easily made him snap. I'm not a parent myself, but I can understand why people freak out over a situation when their own child is involved.

You are totally and absolutely wrong. An officer of the law doesn’t just have another job. He's taken an oath and he's given a sensitive, more powerful, more privileged position of authority in our society by the government and the people it represents. Just like elected officials, government agents with authority, voluntary soldiers, and the judiciary that has to come with a standard of conduct that is above and beyond anybody else. With great power comes even greater responsibility. It must. Important parts of our society can't function if they can't be held to that standard or if they abuse their positions of authority. Not to mention the loss of trust if the people expected to be the keepers of our society can't even even follow the laws they themselves are expected to create or enforce. If people can't handle that they don't need to be in those positions.

As far as those other jobs you mention, most places actually do have laws that in fact demand people with many of those jobs be put under a higher ethical standard and have greater punishments for breaking them, especially if they do it in the course of or otherwise use their jobs that put them in a special position to break those laws.

I want to rep you for that post but I can't

Oh well, rep for D-rock ! :bowdown:

 

[lovejoy]

But how about rogue Government officials use behind-the-scene, clandestine operation to seek revenge !

It is another sad day in New Jersey when 3 mayors, Jewish leaders and officials involved in massive corruption schemes !

Importing fake handbags from China sure is a very stupid thing to do for state government officials !


Hail to the F.B.I. !:nanner:

I agree this guy did lose his control and should be punished for it, but my point was simply pointing out that not all police officers are bad people.

 

[Will E Worm]

More senseless brutality from someone who thinks they are an officer.

There was little damage, and the other driver had left the scene, near Northeast Philadelphia Airport.

What they didn't know was that they'd been rear-ended by the son of a police officer who was on duty, and dad was about to get involved.

Hmmm, sounds like vigilante daddy.

Instead of public servant.:tongue:

Doctors take an oath too (and they arguably protect us more than police officers do), but if they're not 100% ethical with the way that they carry out their duties, they're not going to have the whole entire country calling for their heads. Police officers do though. Why? You can't use the argument that they "should be held to a higher standard" because there are plenty of other jobs that hold a higher standard in society in which it's employees are hardly ever condemned by society when they don't uphold the respect of their given position. The reason that people hate on police officers so much, especially when they do even the slightest thing wrong while on duty, is because it's easy to hate police officers.

It's easy to say what you are saying - police officers have higher expectations than the rest of us - but the people who stoop to that defense are usually the same people who also act as if police officers are no better than us. So, which one is it? If we give them higher standards than they are better than us.

Bill Clinton had another woman suck his cock in the White House and nothing was done about it and he was the President of the United States. He wasn't punished for violating the sanctity of his given title, nor was he removed from his position, which is arguably the one position in this country in which there is no higher standard to be held. But, the very second that a police officer would do the same exact thing (get his dick sucked at work) the entire country would be pleading for his immediate termination.

:dunno:

With great power comes even greater responsibility? This isn't Spider-Man. Police officers aren't super heros; they're regular ass people who have a job. I think a lot of people fail to recognize that. We all make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Police officers are not an exception to that rule.

FYI - The officer in this case was clearly out of line and I am in no way, shape or form trying to defend him personally. There are just waaaaay too many cases in which a police officer is automatically condemned by society the very second a police-related story hits the news, even before the facts come in. Even if a police officer does absolutely nothing wrong, he/she is going to be viewed as a power hungry, egotistical bully the second their name and face hit the news and everyone will be outraged to the point in which the only thing that will satisfy them would be that officer's immediate termination, followed by an outrageous punishment. That police officer, even if they are 100% innocent of all charges, is forever fucked just because they are a police officer. That's not fair to them and you can't deny that.

 

[Namreg]

Was he a police officer? Yes.
Was he also an enraged father of a child that had been in an accident? Yes, and let's not forget that.

It was just a minor fender bender according to the article, but do you really think the son explained it to his cop father like that? No, probably not. He probably told the story like "Some fuckin' bitch hit my car, Dad!!!" Then, being an angry FATHER (not an angry cop), he then found the girl who was involved in the accident and obviously handled the situation quite poorly.

But, let's not allow this to be a case of "COPS ARE DICKS" because it should clearly be a case of "SOME DADS ARE DICKS".

true, but someone who abuses their position as a cop like that isn't fit to be a cop.

Facial must be vacationing.:dunno:



"The District Attorney's Office reviewed the case and declined to prosecute Officer Lopez in December. Eight days later, he was reissued his weapon and returned to full duty.

But he may yet face discipline from the Police Department."



He assaults her with his gun out after his son hits and runs her and then him and his friends on the force try to get rid of the tape that showed she was telling the truth and he not only isn't prosecuted but apparently will not be fired just "may yet face discipline".That sends a real message that the public should like.As in don't let a cops kid hit ya!!! Talk about power corrupts,give them a badge and gun and let em loose.:eek:

This reminds me of the season seven episode of Trailer Park Boys entitled: Three Good Men Dead. Where Jim Lahey got set upon by his fellow cops, with phone books. They beat him up and them Randy and Phil stumbled upon this and they got beat up too. And then the two dirty cops tried to stage a death scene with the victims by putting a barbecue rig inside the caravan and knocking it over and spilling alcohol everywhere as well. To try and make it look like it was an indoor barbecue party gone wrong. It did go wrong, as Jim Lahey and the boys from the park got them back by framing them in a shit snare as Jim Lahey put it.


TV shows only show us the sort of thing that goes on in real life. As Jamie Kennedy from Scream 2 put it: art that imitating life that imitates art.

 

[lovejoy]

The real issue is cover-up of the police brass which are supposed to investigate wrongdoings of individual police. Instead the internal affairs or SIU Special Investigation Unit rubber-stamped the investigation.

This does not just cover police but crown corporation rogue employees such as post office, courier run by the crown corporations to set employees up.


Harrassment by agents are constantly occurring on daily basis.

Where is the federal police supposed to investigate local cops corruption? They are paid off and claim the employee or the girl actually caused the incident.

Corruption is everywhere and the bottom line is money to be made by the rogue crown corporation mobs !

 

[lovejoy]

true, but someone who abuses their position as a cop like that isn't fit to be a cop.

This goes to all the rogue crown corporations (government agencies supposed to serve the people, by the people, for the people, of the people.)

Instead hundreds of millions of dollars were funneled to personal causes for political gains !!!!

This guy in the video abused the power and choked the girl in the videos and even made up false accusation !


They were so smart and used psychiatric defense to claim the girl is drunk or intoxicated or mentally insane or threat to the state or province.

ALL B.S. !!
