Here's a story about the other 99% of the cops we don't hear about:

I'm reading a book now, called Homicide, by David Simon. He's a reporter who spent a year in 1993 embedded with the Baltimore homicide detectives. Man, I never realized what a crap hole Baltimore is Seems like they were doing a pretty good job exterminating themselves without any help from the police.
What's interesting about the book is, it was written years before all this recent attention was focused on the BPD. So the cops are not really on their guard in the book. Yeah, they are pretty insensitive, but going by what they have to deal with, I think anyone would be.

Another good read is "what cops know" It is dated, but the psychology of people does not change that much.

No shooting, thankfully, but several things worth noting.
For starters, just what is so god-danged critical for these cops to be swarming all over a bunch on kids? Not thugs, protesters, or biker brutes, just a large number of kids, many of them young. Doesn't make sense. That one cops does a Capt. Kirk barrel roll, he's all over the place. Drug test that man He's clearly too wound up for this kind of work. Another thing, a clear example of kids have no concept of what the situation calls for. Cops everywhere telling you to sit down and be quiet so they can do their work...most kids just chattering and wandering around oblivious. Kinda reminds me of my brief stint as a teacher. Hmmm.... I think I can identify with Capt. Kirk.

Maybe he just likes Captain Kirk's command style.You never know a Gorgan might suddenly appear you need those rolling skills to sharp.

I meant Gorn oops
Again though dodging skills are paramount in sudden unexpected Gorn attacks. |

Or a person can only film a portion of an event in the first place just to make the subject look guilty. The whole race thing bugs me. If I cut off a driver of a different race of in traffic dose that make me racist? In my opinion one must prove beyond doubt that an act was racially motivated. For example if the person I cut of happened to be Italian and I said "take that ya language specifically offensive to a person of Italian decent" now that would be a racially motivated act. If I used those exact words would that make a passive aggressive racist or a borderline politically correct racist. What if I had intened to cut the car off anyway and then realized that the person was Italian? Last edited by Stealhead; 06-11-15 at 06:51 PM. |

Regarding the Capt. Kirk roll, I always thought it wasn't so much a planned action as it was Shatner tripping over his own ego...

Actually when I first saw the video of the cops Captain Kirk roll I figured that he had tripped over his own big feet and just went with it. Done the much the same thing myself once or twice. Luckily I wasn't being video taped at the time...
