Probably the worst travesty this century committed by state

:laugh::laugh::laugh: It is sad that the FBI director was being serious.

It is ok for the government to record a lowly citizen, but don't get any crazy ideas and start recording governmental employees.

What a joke. This guy should be tossed out on his ass for making such comments.

What a load of BS. 2015 is well below average for police deaths or injuries on the job. In addition, the data shows that there has been no statistically significant increase in violence towards LE after any of these recent incidents relating to videotaping LE.

The FBI director is full of crap, as are all the police chiefs, the Mayor of Chicago and others who are suggesting that increased videotaping of police is leading to violence against them.

Its leading to accountability and in some cases justice for the victims.
I get it, they have a hard job. Doesn't justify actions like those taken here. Also one can say or it even has been said they have a tough job and are under a lot of stress. They have a split second to make a decision and maybe they made a mistake. Well as we are all held accountable for all our mistakes that break the law so too should they be.

A quote to think about...

"FBI director says citizens filming the police makes them, 'feel like they're under siege'... The tv show COPS is on its 28th Season..."

:grin:

Disturbing video shows S.C. officer body-slamming female student - TODAY.com

In contrast I do t actually have an issue with this. She was asked several times and refused to obey after she caused a problem in the first place. While what he did looks elaborate, it waa in fact very controlled and efficient he didn't strike her he took control of her whole body and dealt fast.

Good cop imo

I guess he'd rather the police not be held accountable?

Yup, their just getting caught more now.

[Scrumhalf]

Yep. I bet this happened all the time. Just think how many times the police report was the only thing to go on. Resisting arrest is a convenient catch-all for justifying pretty much anything the cops did.

[Herc]

Imagine the shit that went down when everybody didn't have cams. Just swept under the rug.

[Bouncer]

Let me just say before I post the following link that I generally support the police and I think they do a great deal of good and have to deal with a ton of scum bags day in and day out.

That said, they need to start a better selection process of who they are training to be police officers. They are supposed to be professionals, not fucken filth.

And not one cop said come on take it fking easy. I couldn't just sit there and watch that.

See, that's the problem. This happens time and time again where on psycho goes off and the rest just watch. I saw one incident where one cop steps in and restrains the other and I read that he was ostracised and basically run out of town on a rail. So, the good guys end up being complicit because they are too afraid to hurt their careers and step across the line.

[AvidFisherman]

I took some LEJA classes and one of the things I learned is there are peer reviewed articles estimating that 1 in 10 cops are corrupt.
