Cops Gone Wild

I agree. And back when I did the job, the police magazines laying around the office typically had ads for uniform stuff, light bars, etc., I saw one recently, and almost got sick, literally. The ads were for combat gear that's just a different color than what I wore in the Marines.:eek:

Yup. Arm the cops to fight the populace...sick shit man.

You know why uniforms went from blue to black right?

Cops are being trained to fight a war. They used to be trained to serve and protect.

Cops are issued and train with the latest and greatest weapons. And toys to maim and restrain.

Most cops are former military.

Easy math here....

I got laughed at around this place when I said the USA was turning into a police state a few years ago.

Who is laughing now...not me

The USA is essentially turn key totalitarian as this point. If they ever really decide to organize any of the 3 or 4 letter national agencies and all local police forces into one organization in the name of "public safety" you best strap in for hell.

Good post, brother Crispy.
Good to see that not all USA citizens (slaves) are asleep.
Unfortunately, most are.
I don't know what it's going to take to regain control.
I would have never believed the people who live in this country would have let the government become this tyrannical.

Yes, it's scary stuff, no question! I'm blown away at just how much law enforcement has changed in the last 15 years. And the change sure as hell hasn't been for the better either!

Btw, why the black bdu's vs the typical navy blue?

Studies were done that showed people were more compliant based off the color of the uniform alone. In short, black bdu`s scare people, blue arises a sense of helping. They went for the scare factor....how fucked is that?

I've been pulled over since leaving law enforcement. Even got a ticket. No I didn't mouth off. I'm sure Luke didn't either.

I will point out that when I did that job, and made the occasional traffic stop, I noticed that the liberals would be the ones who would flip out, and act like little asses.

I gotta speeding ticket just last week in FL. Got clocked doing 16 over in a construction zone. I knew I was busted the moment the cruiser started pulling away as I passed. So I immediately slowed and pulled way over to give the officer more room from passing cars. I had my window rolled down with DL, insurance and rental agreement in hand by the time she got there. I politely nodded at her spiel on speeding. She went back to her car and wrote me up for only 9 over and no mention of construction zone. She thanked me for pulling over in a safe place smiled and let me on my way. My ticket was less than 1/2 what it should have been.

SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) â An eyewitness recorded cellphone video of a Santa Ana police officer shoot and kill an unarmed 22-year-old homeless man at a shopping center earlier this week.

The witness, who wished to remain unidentified, was standing in the parking lot of the Harbor Place Shopping Center on South Harbor Boulevard around 3 p.m. Tuesday when he said he filmed a confrontation in front of Jugoâs La Tropicana between an officer, later identified as a 13-year veteran, and victim Hans Kevin Arellano.

âShe exited her patrol car, gun drawn, and asked the gentlemen to get on the ground. The gentlemen didnât get on the ground, he was still inside the restaurant. She asked again. The man then exited the restaurant, and as he was exiting the restaurant, he said, âWhat are you gonna do, bâ-?â About a second later, she shot him in the chest,â he said.

CBS2âs Michele Gile showed officers the footage of the incident.

âObviously this is the first time weâve seen this,â said Cpl. Anthony Bertagna of the Santa Ana Police Department. âThis is something that is going to be a key piece of evidence. Itâs something that we encourage people, if they have, to bring forward. This needs to get in the hands of the D.A. and our detectives. Like the chief said yesterday, weâre trying to be open and honest. Thereâs three separate investigations that are going on simultaneously. This portion, as the chief said, I canât comment on.â

Arellanoâs relatives were horrified when they viewed the video and believe the officer shouldnât have used lethal force.

âI believe they should have Tased him, hit him with a baton, anything, but not shot him to kill him,â said Arellanoâs niece, Yenniffer Moreno.

At a press conference Wednesday, Santa Ana interim Police Chief Carlos Rojas said Arellano, a convicted burglar, was âcombativeâ when he initially got into altercations with various people in a McDonaldâs parking lot.

When authorities arrived to the scene, Arellano ran to nearby juice bar, where the shooting unfolded.

âIt was a confrontation. It wasnât a casual conversation,â Rojas said.

When asked why the officer didnât Taser the man, Rojas said, âCould the officer have had other options? Thereâs always a lot of different options you have in these situations. It really comes down to the mindset of the officer at that time and what threat they may have been facing.â
