Still waiting for the trooper to be charged for his so called illegal power trip as stated in the OP. Guess I'll be waiting a while.

Oh and, it looks like the suicide was just that. Darn conspiracy theorists, you almost had another one.
So you approve of this type of behavior from your government officials?

So those of you who believe that might makes right, would you support armed citizens executing cops on sight?

I mean, you fuck with the bull, you get the the horns. Right? There are 100 million armed Americans. By your rationale, cops should expect to get shot.

Cops are only the bull because we let them act that way. That could change in an instant if the public got fed up with cops.
One huge part of this problem is that cops do expect to get shot, far in excess of their actual chances of being shot. Which is not at all surprising as we all tend to be overly concerned with the things that might endanger our own lives.

Empowered cop with an attitude problem and an apparently uncooperative "victim" behaving erratically.

What could go wrong?

It's not often I say this... but.... I don't see anything the officer did that was that out of line.

Cop had all the right to slam her down by any means. Anyone who listened to that video can tell that she was:
1. Agitating the cop.
2. Behaving erratically. The more the scene progressed, the more erratic she became.
3. Refusing to cooperate the entire time.
4. Wouldn't shut the fuck up and stop threatening the cop (Not that this is illegal, but it definitely doesn't help the situation).
5. Warned COUNTLESS times. If you are warned to do something 25 times, things are NEVER going to be good, nor will they EVER be in your favor. It's just stupid to expect otherwise.

He took her over to the side, but from the sounds of things, I didn't hear any indication that he hurt her physically anymore than previous encounters that were on camera.

If a cop tells you to get out of the car. Get out of the fucking car, how stupid can you be? Worry about if his actions are legal/justified AFTERWARDS.

Really, perhaps you think that way because you have a brain defect, We know not the hour or the minute so why worry?

Odd that you feel I have a brain defect and not the woman who showed her ass to a cop and then killed herself in jail.

Most people know they will eventually die; however, they do not go looking for it to happen.

When was the last time you ran into the middle of a highway in rush hour.

But which one is the trained & paid professional?

This is how a PROFESSIONAL handles a bad situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtcvmu3p6WM
Agreed, that is an amazing cop. My point earlier was that one should not be an asshole and expect the world to work around you. Some, like this very calm, professional officer, will do so. Others, like Encinia, may be assholes themselves. Assholes with badges, clubs, guns, TASERs, pepper spray, and badges. Did I mention badges? Or maybe just good cops who have already suffered their daily limit of assholes, who knows? Point is, Bland too is an adult and is expected to behave as an adult, not as a spoiled brat.

Saw the video and all I can say is WOW to the cops actions to being told no for the cigarette.

The officer can ask her to stop smoking, but it isn't a crime if she says no. Yes he can lawfully order her out of the vehicle because he has a probable cause for the stop since he got her on "speeding" by riding her ass to make her speed up which she did to let him get around her but it turned out to be a trap. Cops do this shit all the time, and many people fall for that bait.

So yes she screwed up after the fact of not getting out of her vehicle, but the argument could be made that she didn't trust him to be an actual police officer and feared for her safety at the time. There have been cases of criminals dressing up like cops to perpetrate crimes.

The cop goes on an insane power trip because she basically refuses to cooperate with his initial asking of her to stop smoking. Watching the video it wasn't until he starts acting like an asshat that she starts getting belligerent back. True her actions after him being an asshole only riles him up further, but he is being an ASSHOLE and doesn't deserve to be a cop anymore based on that performance there of a situation he handled very poorly.

I'm not talking about getting shot by a criminal. I'm talking about getting shot just because the cop has a bad attitude. And a lot of people not caring, because cops are just getting what they deserve. Hey, if they didn't want to get shot by a random citizen, they should just do as they're instructed.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Not if the gander is the one we collectively arm so that we don't all have to go armed.

State Patrol aka Troopers are almost always the most professional LEO's in any state. They don't have that "not in my town!" attitude usually.
That has been my experience as well. Would be interesting to know if Encinia is substandard or simply having a bad day. Not that it makes any difference to Bland now.

:biggrin:

That video should be a training video for all cops.
Screw training videos. The military does some very good training where some people pretend to be hajis and do everything short of crossing the line that will justify violence to provoke violence, the idea being that once one has learned to deal with the very worst behavior then reality should be comparatively easy. Obviously we need a few weeks of the same thing for cops.

I hereby patent the training TASER, where the electrodes are in grip and trigger and pressing the latter closes the circuit. I can haz riches now?

The cop repeatedly trolled her until he got what he wanted. She repeatedly did NOT "show her ass" to him until his fourth straight provocation troll, the sly bully. I don't think your brain is defective, I know how smart you are, so please look again in detail at the encounter.

It's not often I say this... but.... I don't see anything the officer did that was that out of line.

You didn't see anything that the officer did that was out of line? Look again, look harder.

Yep. He provoked her, and I do not expect her to have training to deal with provocation either of that sort. What he did technically wasn't illegal, but it was the actions of a major power tripping asshat. True she could have kept her mouth shut the entire time and not allowed herself to be provoked. But some people are incapable of that due to various reasons. Mainly due to mental issues which she more than likely had considering the current end of the scenario.

The cop deserves to be seriously reprimanded at a minimal if not fired completely. Nothing more beyond that though. He should be a lesson for all cops of what not to do if you don't want to be fired either.
