I was thinking of you when I heard this on talk radio yesterday. I knew you would get a kick out of it or at least appreciate it.
When you read her account of the story it does not seem too far fetched to believe that they did exactly what she says.

When I was growing up my step-dad was NYPD. This was early 70's NYPD. Lots of real dirty cops on the force.
I meant dirty, like - taking pay-offs, drinking and driving, drinking and driving on duty, spending the shift at the bar, spending the shift with the other women, dealing drugs, moonlighting, false disability claims...back then the "abusive" cops kept the streets trouble free
I hope this breed slowly dies off. Unfortunately there are still some olt tymers out there who bring up the youngin's this way. Bad cops are the lowest of the low.
Fleeing felons can be shot but no need to take a life because a purse snatcher is running off with credit cards, ya know?
Wish it was that easy man. Hitting someone while moving is hard enough for most people that aimed shots are too hard. However, I wouldnt have any issues with a less lethal 40mm sponge round tagging their assI mean in the kneecaps or buttocks mate. Didn't say head shots
Im glad that didn't happen because there's a chance they would have shot you, especially after giving you warnings to stop...I only dealt with one ******* cop in my life, during the "legal stop" while being polite but pointing out that there was no basis for it he pushed me (battery: strike or touch), luckily we were in front of his cruiser which was filming I hope and there were 2 more officers there, I told him if he assaulted me again I would defend myself, no one is above the law.
I wanted him to hit me again so I would break his ****ing face in and then break the windows with his head, but he never did.
In all my life, that's the only bad cop I've encountered in the US, every other cop I dealt with was super nice, always end up talking to them a bit after business was done.
It's those small number of *******s that ruin the image and the uniform of all the good ones.
Yeah, especially when 6 cops are shooting 60 times at one person with NO GUN...eh? :thumbsup:I mean in the kneecaps or buttocks mate. Didn't say head shots :think:
I agree with the purse snatch, That I would just chase. But a crack dealer who has already been in jail for it before and is violent.....He better pray I hadn't done cardio already that day, and I could convince myself it was a cardio workout....lol
It would depend on the crime yeah.
but alot of times if a cop shoots, and the perp is any color other than white its all of the sudden racist....
Im glad that didn't happen because there's a chance they would have shot you, especially after giving you warnings to stop...
If you payed attention to detail, you would have noticed that this was "during the "legal stop" ", which means I stopped, I was on foot btw, while being polite, co-operating, presented my ID....I pointed out that there was no basis for this stop, he pushed me based on that, that is illegal.
The surgeon general says 10 out 10 people die, doesn't matter to me if I die today or @ 120 years old, if actions that would make me sleep good at night cause my death, then I'll die a happy man and that's all I could ask for, because living with regret is something I would only wish on my worst enemies.
This does not sound like the acts of someone just "defending" themselves; this sounds like someone with a personal vendetta against cops .. .. but, im just pointing that out, not saying your that type of person...I wanted him to hit me again so I would break his ****ing face in and then break the windows with his head, but he never did.
I READ PERFECTLY every word you posted...that's why i said "after giving you warnings to stop", that is, if he had pushed you and you had reacted and punched him...etc, etc.
Im just pointing out the issue that you would combat an action, which can be considered below standard (i.e. police roughing housing you for no reason) with an action that would be idiotic, (i.e. you attempting to fight one, which could turn into 3 cops)

As far as the statement goes with the 10 out of 10, that holds no bearings on the decision, because what is the percentage of HIV out of every 10 people? does this mean I'll run out and bang 3 females randomly just because Im beating the odds?

Terry stops are perfectly legal... if there were three cops stopping you on foot, I would hope that there was a reason. Whether you looked out of place(trenchcoat in Summer) or matched a description, I don't know but just because you don't know the reason or were doing nothing wrong doesn't make it an illegal stop. However, i'm not saying they couldn't of just been ****ing with you either.
Clearly the disclaimers are conveniently missed in most post/responsesbut, im just pointing that out, not saying your that type of person...
Simple scenario....
Cop stops you
Stop, present ID
Cop gets info
Point out to cop there is no basis for this stop
Cop gets smart and pushes you for NO REASON
if....cop pushed you again, you hit cop
Other officers order you to stop
you continue, and attempt to bash cops head into window
officers shoot
End of story.

sounds personal to me...
I've always been kind of a pacifist. When I was a kid, my father told me, "Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it.
