Ridiculous Police News (Specific events)

I feel like the officer could have handled that better than he did, but I have zero sympathy for that woman given her refusal to cooperate with some really basic shit like closing the damn door. People wouldn't be getting flipped into the concrete if they could manage to behave like a goddamn adult.

I don't think you can fear for your life that much if he walked away from the dog went back to his car, got a rifle, and shot the dog with a rifle. Or was he really walking around with a rifle rather than his sidearm?

JMC how often do cops do that when serving a warrant?

Depends on the warrant really. If it's a 209a Violation, we would just wait for animal control to arrive.

If it's a actual raid, we usually have a animal control officer with us (if we are aware of a dog on premise)

Worst comes to worst, I personally spray a vicious dog with a fire extinguisher when it's near me. They usually take off running after

I was right to post the German shooting here. Authorities saying the shooter had no ISIS ties

[Blubbartron]

The Orlando shooter never had official ties with ISIS either, but he still supported them and his attack was motivated by their shared religion. We simply don't know why this guy started shooting people.

[notorious bum]

Hey, if we wanted to hear the CNN/Fox News angle on recent shootings, we'd ask for our faves by name. Maybe you can post some straw polls on Muslims who support ISIS in the appropriate thread.

ITN reporter @Julian5News reports Munich police as saying there is no link between refugees and attack in Munich.

German police say there is no indication after intensive search of Munich shooter’s apartment that he had ties with #ISIS - Sky

Search of his apartment did however show that he was interested in other shooting rampages.

Prosecutor say that the Munich gunman was apparently seeking treatment due to depression.

Mentally ill man who obsessed about mass shootings? Definitely an Islamic terrorist.

Iowa lineman playing ‘Pokemon Go’ has guns drawn on him by police searching for bank robbery suspect

These keystone cops are some real gumshoes, you can't blame them for doing their jobs!

[Restrat]

Okay I know I'm tired when I read that and thought "What like they drew sharpie guns on his face?!"

[Melena]

These keystone cops are some real gumshoes, you can't blame them for doing their jobs!

Did you read the article, supposedly he matched the description of the suspect, didn't respond and he reached into his pocket to pull out his phone, of course they are going to be spooked. I love how you find it acceptable to blanket insult cops but if anyone blankets a comment on a group of people you go super sjw

"My pockets were checked, my backpack was opened up and searched carefully, and I was asked to lift up my shirt while they searched my waistband," he wrote. "Not once did they identify themselves to me as Iowa City Police officers, but with four gun barrels staring me in the face, I wouldn’t dare question the authority of the men and woman in front of me. This is what happened from my point of view. "

also says the came up on him from behind he was 1 confused response from Swiss cheese and you know it.

[Eurell]

How would you approach the situation differently when you have someone matching the description of an armed robber in that area?

Because to me it sounds like they did things right, nothing bad happened here, and they are still getting shit. I'm confused.

Fort Myers

Two people have been killed and up to 16 more injured in a shooting at a nightclub in the Florida city of Fort Myers, police say.

The attack happened around 00:30 (04:30 GMT) on Monday at Club Blu, which was reportedly hosting a party for teenagers.

Three people have been arrested.

A police statement said injuries "ranged from minor to life-threatening". Up to four people remain in hospital with serious injuries.

The victims were between 12 and 27 years old. Shots were fired outside in the club's car park where witnesses described the scene to reporters as a "mad house".

Syreeta Gary, whose daughter was at the club, told the local Fox 4 news channel: "I just thank God that my daughter is OK because she could have been shot," adding that, at one point, her daughter was "dodging bullets and running dropping between cars".

"It's ridiculous that these kids have to go through this, they can't enjoy themselves because you have other people there who have criminalistic minds - they just want to terrorise things. I'm just glad she's OK."

Shots were also fired at a home and a vehicle, where one person suffered a minor injury.

Officers are trying to determine the motive of the shooting.

Six weeks ago, a gunman attacked a gay nightclub in the Florida city of Orlando, killing 49 people. It was the worst mass shooting in US history.

Also just to double check, are we posting news of shootings here or just dumb stuff police do?

They almost killed a man because he matched the description of a "large black male," who the fuck are they protecting and serving again? Am I supposed to get a massive boner when police go all cowboy when a bank gets robbed? lol

This is not only sloppy work that puts innocent civilians in unnecessary danger, but also themselves if that were the actual armed robber strolling in a public place. This isn't Dog the fucking Bounty Hunter, there's nothing to gain chasing a bank robber through the park and getting into a shootout.

As for the rest of your "wah, wah blue lives, ur a sjw" drivel, I guess you didn't have a problem with the blanket statement about that bumblefuck police department racially profiling to catch the bad guys, you know, the exact protocol that these five fucks used that you're trying to make excuses for.

This goes in gun violence thread.

[Eurell]

Maybe identify themselves as cops?

From the article, and the guys own account, thats literally the first thing they did.

"They quickly move to action and identify themselves as the Iowa City police and ask me to turn around and place my hands up. I do not comply, they ask again, and again no response from me. So they all draw their guns and begin to slowly approach the suspect,"

[BerenTebogo]

From the article, and the guys own account, thats literally the first thing they did.

This statement is written from two points of view? "I do not comply" + "begin to slowly approach the suspect" it makes no sense. Counter with already posted on previous page:

"My pockets were checked, my backpack was opened up and searched carefully, and I was asked to lift up my shirt while they searched my waistband," he wrote. "Not once did they identify themselves to me as Iowa City Police officers, but with four gun barrels staring me in the face, I wouldn’t dare question the authority of the men and woman in front of me. This is what happened from my point of view. "

You posted a quote that makes no sense in the english language, so I'm dubious to give it any weight whatsoever. Versus a pretty clear-cut statement.

They identified, but the guy had headphones on while playing Pokemon so he was unaware.
