The brother (a captain on the city police force) became a teacher of law enforcement at the local J.V.S, but the Bro-in-law told me the new guys, and the supervision were wildly out of control. He helped his son-in-law to get on as a cop, he became the local jailer, and beats up prisoners while they are hand-cuffed. It's no wonder they protect their home addresses and other info. Someone might just kill them for this sort of abuse.

Officers are hired and attend a police academy. Then they are required to field train with a field training officer. This training lasts from 3-12 months. You are graded everyday in the tasks that you perform. While at the outset this may have seemed like a good idea at the beginning, I think that this is where officers are coerced to join the club. They learn right and wrong from senior officers, what is accepted and what is not. What you can arrest someone for and what you cannot. How you can bullshit in a police report, and so on. Let your imagination run wild. By the time an officer is on his own he has been fully indoctrinated. And if hasn't been, he is cut loose from the department. So you can hire a perfectly normal individual to police for you, but by the time he is on the street alone, he has lost whatever semblance of decency he may have had. In fact where a lot of young officers are so impressionable, you can almost say that he is no longer making decisions freely and on his own, but instead is relying on "his training". It also somewhat shocks me to see the new look for officers, that is shaved heads, or close thereto. Do you really think that these officers choose to do this to themselves, or are they just falling in line? It used to be the rare numb-nuts would have that look, now it seems the numb-nuts are in charge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-12077490774392128662007-10-04T08:33:00.000-06:002007-10-04T08:33:00.000-06:00BTW, GG -- I love your blog!BTW, GG -- I love your blog!William N.

It seems to me that there is an institutional bias IN FAVOR of people like those you describe. <BR/><BR/>Witness, for example, the cashiering of Austin Police Officer Ramon Perez for *refusing* an illegal order to Taze an elderly, non-violent suspect. Officer Perez is a serious and devoted Christian family man and patriot, and HE was booted from the APD. And just yesterday we learned of an incident in 2006 in which an officer from the same department Tazed a motorist illegally at a traffic stop -- and he was *reprimanded*, not fired.<BR/><BR/>So... in Austin you get fired for refusing to Taze someone illegally, but only slapped on the wrist if you pull the trigger. <BR/><BR/>This kind of policy suggests, once again, that police departments are now structured to select for sadism. THAT is truly frightening.William N.

Thuggery, gangsterism, and a general disrespect for the Constitution and due process seems to be routine. As a police supervisor, I would never tolerate it with any of my officers, but this corruption goes on. Thanks for great journalism and devotion to the Constitution.<BR/><BR/>GGDLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169090238199549911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-66281784595111355392007-10-04T07:40:00.000-06:002007-10-04T07:40:00.000-06:00Disturbing.Thanks Will, you're doing some especial...Disturbing.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Will, you're doing some especially great work on compiling all these atrocities committed by renegade cops lately.Taylor Conanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18270678440957992085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-78297557526863722052007-10-03T23:26:00.000-06:002007-10-03T23:26:00.000-06:00Green Bay police kick presidential sign holders of...Green Bay police kick presidential sign holders off the pedestrian walkway<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrcMmYOqKPgBrian G.

Obviously, I'm a UFC fan. The worst part about these cases is that corrupt cops rarely get the severe punishments they so richly deserve. Keep up the expert journalism Mr. Grigg.
