When you arrange for a funeral precession and police escort, you can run the red lights. When you don't have a police escort, you can still run the red lights?

imo there is an unwritten common courtesy to let the entire funeral procession pass unhindered.
Emergency vehicles w lights and sireens exempted of course...

This has been my experience, but then it has been in smaller towns and cities...ie 8 000-250 000. No idea if the courtesy is extended to the big city, or outside of my geo area of southwestern ontario...

The problem is then, what is a funeral precession and where is it written that they can endanger the public? If you are running red lights and KILL a mother and baby, then who is going to be at fault? That is the WHOLE reason they have police escorts, to ensure that breaking the laws doesn't endanger anyone. I guess if it's just "free for all" do what you want lawlessness, then anything goes, but I dont think that guy has the right to endanger all of us because he couldn't arrange an escort.

One stop shopping for you here folks. Sickening. I just wasted half a day arguing on the FB with a former co worker about bad cops. I cling to my assertion that most Cops are good, and there are dickheads in every walk of life. But as one who has spent the majority of his adult life in one form of law enforcement or another, I am still repulsed by those who abuse their positions in the community. I got into this for two reasons.

1. I needed a job, and the AF put me into it (Thank you open general...)

2. I hate bullies. And when it turns out that a cop is a bully, then I hate them too.

(Cop groupie chicks is a reason too...but I wouldnt want to get silly around here...)

I feel for the guys left behind to answer the dog owners questions...you can tell they are uncomfortable cleaning up someone elses mess. I bet the shooters name is sh!t around the dept now...what a dick.

Can they also make unlimited NRA contributions as well? When will we have for profit LE to go with the for profit prison system?

Not so fast, Mr Popo.

In 2010, a deputy in Florida's Escambia County saw one Kendrick Van Teamer drive by in a bright green Chevrolet. The deputy ran his plates, and found the registration matched a blue Chevrolet. There were no warrants out for Teamer, no reports of stolen vehicles and no pending crimes that involved either a blue or green Chevy. Teamer also wasn't violating any traffic laws.

But the Florida Supreme Court says:
The color discrepancy here is not “inherently suspicious” or “unusual” enough or so “out of the ordinary” as to provide an officer with a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, especially given the fact that it is not against the law in Florida to change the color of your vehicle without notifying the DHSMV.

Toke up x-post maybe?

Seattle cop who issued 80 percent of marijuana tickets reassigned

Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole said staff reviewing data to prepare the department's first biannual report on marijuana enforcement found that 66 of 83 citations for public pot use were given out by just one officer.

"In some instances, the officer added notes to the tickets," O'Toole said in a statement, adding that some of the notes requested the attention of City Attorney Peter Holmes and were addressed to "Petey Holmes."

Not a choke hold.

Kinda looks like a choke hold in the video.

"This was not a choke hold," Pat Lynch, head of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, told a press conference, referring to a July 17 incident in which Eric Garner, accused of selling illegal cigarettes on a Staten Island street, died after a scuffle with police.

note to cops: do not have as your spokesperson on the in-the-line-of-duty homicide with racial overtones named "Lynch"

on so many levels, i cannot relate to the citizenry of that MO town, but my blood boils when i see such wanton misappropriation of force. as a direct result, this will surely raise a fresh crop of cop killers.

yet another similarity to iraq/afgh "they'll see us as liberators"

When I asked why SWAT wore that during the citizens academy, I was told it was to show uniformity. The SWAT team is generally comprised of officers from all over the area and rather than have dudes in uniforms that don't match (or worse yet, clash), they decided to have a joint unit uniform.

I mean, if you are going to play dress up anyway, why not dress up like GI Joe?
