Not even a hint of financial support, dues, etc. and those insurance "rates" would rise or fall based on the "loose cannon" factor. Those cities with higher than average cop-on-civilian violence would see higher premiums so it would behoove the union to set themselves straight or else go bust. Now the game I see them playing is to ramp up the fear factor in the public by wailing and moaning about their "pay" and how this is such a dangerous job... blah blah blabbity blah blah, and how they SO need a raise to cover the "burden" of such insurance. You see these rats, like any politician, will weasel themselves out of having to bear the cost unless you bloody well nail them to the ground. And keep them there! Otherwise I don't see the point in having public cops at all. I say privatize everything and lets see what can be done. Can it be worse than now?

In the case of municipal insurance premiums, it is the <i>taxpaying citizens</i> who foot the costs of said premiums, so if a city faces skyrocketing premiums due to the unchecked criminality of its municipal employees (including its Fat Blue Line Gang chapter), then it will be the innocent taxpayers of that city, already overburdened and oppressed, who will suffer even further.<br /><br />No, if Officer Oinky is found liable in civil court, even after being acquitted in the rigged criminal court system, let HIM be held liable for every penny of compensatory or punitive damages owed to his victim. I don't give a damn if that means that he loses his home, his vehicle, his pension, or the shirt off his back, or if it costs his spouse her inheritance and his children food out of their mouths. The only way Oinky and his gangbanger buddies in crime will EVER get the message that their lawbreaking will NOT be tolerated is if they bear the costs directly and feel the agonizing sting of liability PERSONALLY. And yes, there are precedents for such judgments. Private-sector corporations routinely hold employees liable for damages if they act clearly outside the scope of their employment duties in committing a tort. Municipal employees are no different, no matter what contortions black-robed frauds try to cook up to declare otherwise.<br /><br />So let's shift the punishment to where it should be borne. I guarantee that the "blue crime wave" will become a thing of the past once accountability is enforced.liberranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-68712768793647038852010-08-30T10:06:35.667-06:002010-08-30T10:06:35.667-06:00Having worked in law enforcement for years at the ...Having worked in law enforcement for years at the federal level I've always been troubled by the immaturity of so many "cops" that are trusted to carry and use firearms.<br /><br />This childish attitude is expressed quite well by the character Joker in the movie "Full Metal Jacket" when he says, "I want to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill". <br /><br />I also found that many federal cops, certainly not all, are physical cowards. They have mob courage as was expressed in Mark Twain's, "Huckleberry Finn" by the old soldier talking from his home balcony to the angry gang gathered below him; "Each of you only have the courage of an army, there is not a real man among you". <br /><br />This in part explains the trend toward SWAT team "showtime" operations. That being to get a personal kill (or arrest) and have some excitement at almost no personal risk. In the case discussed in this article it would have been easy for a fully uniformed street cop to execute the warrant alone or perhaps with one backup officer. But this would require a degree of personal risk and certainly no glory. <br /><br />My eyes were fully opened to the "Showtime" syndrome during the botched Randy Weaver raid. The local sheriff could have likely walked up to Weaver and made an arrest, but the Feds wanted a show. <br /><br />Same situation happened at Waco as is now well known. In this case the ATF made a military raid for which they were not trained and organized. Consequently they likely ended up killing three of their own along with a number of Dividians. One Texas Ranger or the county sheriff could have gotten the information needed from the "Compound" members and made an arrest if that was justified.<br /><br />As mentioned in this article and in other articles by Will Grigg is the tendency for law enforcement to become militarized. Despite the superficial appearance, law enforcement and the military are different. <br /><br />As a police administrator I would be very reluctant to hire ex-military from combat units such as the Yates character described by Grigg in this article. Effective military training instills necessary aggressive attitudes in young troops toward whomever is designated as the enemy. These combat reactions become second nature and are triggered without thought. Of course this is what you want in a soldier, but not a in a cop.<br /><br />Military training also teaches working with a team of heavily armed compatriots to present overwhelming force to whomever is selected for elimination. Hence we have SWAT teams. <br /><br />These are two destructive tendencies to law enforcement; SWAT teams combined with military attitudes. <br /><br />There are many other dangerous trends affecting policing that Grigg has pointed out in his articles. <br /><br />One that I have observed is the rise of the taser cops. Tasers for local cops, like guns for most federal cops should be removed. There are exceptions for the feds of course. One being the Border Patrol and another the Park Police. The latter have duties similar to city street cops. <br /><br />Sadly young Trevon Cole lost his life in what I consider a Juvenal prank perpetrated by immature and poorly trained and abysmally supervised cops.<br /><br />SWAT teams should be abolished. They cause more harm than good and soak up resources that could be used by ordinary beat cops who still do their jobs.Will Germanhttp://www.training-design-development.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-30187612644489316052010-08-30T09:41:00.161-06:002010-08-30T09:41:00.161-06:00I may be mistaken, but I think that "COPS&quo...I may be mistaken, but I think that "COPS" was filming the Waco raid as well. The reason for the military style raid was alleged (UPS tipster) technical violations of federal firearms codes. Child abuse suspicions were, of course, quickly added after things went dreadfully wrong. The subsequent industrial style tear gassing and immolation by fire was not regarded as a form of abuse.Marc Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638073945201888881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-3584642354214393042010-08-30T07:59:12.003-06:002010-08-30T07:59:12.003-06:00The cops get away with the shootings because the c...The cops get away with the shootings because the city/county/state has an interest in exonerating the murderer. Else the city/county/state will be liable for a nice lawsuit! And anyway even if the lawsuit wins the money comes from the taxpayers and mr. cop is slapped on the wrist and goes to kill and be sued again.<br /><br />Therefore the only way to remedy the situation is for the "mundanes" to be able to directly sue the Police Unions. Not only will the shootings stop but the serial killers like the officers described in this article will be cast out lest the police union be bankrupt.<br /><br />In my view the Unions should be required to buy insurance for the "suicide by cop" or "accidental falling by cop" etc. That way the rates would reflect the amount of psycho cops proportionally.<br /><br />The cops don't really have an incentive to clean house cause the taxpayer is picking up the bill. hit em in the pocketbook and watch the fun.samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-57398403988756601592010-08-30T04:17:19.338-06:002010-08-30T04:17:19.338-06:00So a few people have died to assist in Sheriff Gil...So a few people have died to assist in Sheriff Gillespie's re-election campign?

And in regards to the Scott "suicide by cop" incident, you'd have to be brain damaged to believe that in THIS instance at the moment this happens the Costco video develops a technical "glitch". Oh, yeah?.... What are the odds? They refuse to release 911 tapes and mysteriously have to send hard drives with video out to forensics. Can you believe that tripe? Video surveilance systems routinely have redundant backups or even off-site recording done with, there again, backups in case of disaster. No multi-billion dollar corporation is going to do less. Smells more like the cops are fishing for some technical botch up to suddenly appear out of thin air to rescue their posteriors from a well deserved spanking. The men, both of them, were "murdered by cop" MBC. Scott, due to his past history and family connections, has a greater chance of bringing these killers to heel than some low level pot selling character could even hope to.

She also said the position of Cole's body on the bathroom floor indicated he was facing toward the toilet when he was shot. Prosecutors said Cole was flushing marijuana down the toilet when Yant kicked open the door."</i><br /><br />If Cole had been facing Yant in a "shooter's stance" when the latter fired, I can't see how Cole could have taken a round through his left cheek and ended up facing the toilet. Yant was most likely behind Cole and to his left when he fired the fatal shot.<br /><br />Combining that finding with Pearce's testimony it would appear that roughly the following took place: Yant kicks in the door and finds Cole flushing marijuana down the toilet; Cole -- who is kneeling or crouching -- says "all right, all right," and puts up his hands while still facing away from Yant; Yant fires a round that enters through Cole's left cheek.William N.

It's <i>really</i> "gothic" or otherwise outlandishly attired hip-snot folk performing what would otherwise be <i>mundane</i> everyday jobs in "high drama" fashion for the hordes of mind-numbed couch slogs. As this pertains to Leviathan's paladin brigade, I guess it could be looked upon as a scripted "life and times of the modern hip-cop."<br /><br />It seems to me that we've reverted back culturally -- in a modern context, of course -- to the era of Roman gladiator games where the "mere" mundanes cheer at the sight of other "mere" mundanes being slaughtered by state-sanctioned "gladiators." Except today's variety is actually <i>more</i> barbaric as only <i>one</i> side is state-sanctioned and well-armed.<br /><br />Anyway, could you explain this minor quibble I have with this section, Will:<br /><br /><i>That account can't be reconciled with the findings of Dr. Lisa Gavin, a medical examiner with the Clark County Coroner's Office, who said that the physical evidence shows Cole was</i> facing away from Yant <i>when he was fatally shot. The bullet that killed Cole followed a downward trajectory through his cheek into his neck.</i><br /><br />I've never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed, and I'm sometimes sloooow on the uptake. So if I've missed something please forgive me. When you say above, "...facing away from...," did you mean that only his literal head (face) was turned to the <i>side</i> (facing to the side rather than away) with his <i>body</i> still upright (on his knees, perhaps?) also on its <i>side</i> or "facing" Yant when shot? Otherwise, I can't picture the bullet trajectory as written above, ie. traveled <i>downward</i> "...through his cheek into his neck."<br /><br />Just trying to garner a picture of the scene in my mind.
