Five Black Memphis Tn. Police Officers Alleged To Have Beat Black Motorist For Reckless Driving

The illegal action of the police who killed the person they should have only restrained reminds me of a few soldiers I saw in the military that went kill crazy. It makes me remember of training we had and a saying. " Put your pride in your back pocket and just get the job done." Do not become emotionally involved when dealing with what you need to do. I wish there is a way that I could go back in time and teach those kill crazy cops that lesson. This is a reason I-we would keep the little book - notepad in in my pocket to record the date and time and what happened to report such actions. It is really hard to put charges on a kill crazy person for being kill crazy is like a fever that is contagious, and it spreads with the primeval basic animal instincts that are deep within the human psyche. Pressing charges is a real hard fight for they will band together in a tight nit group to discredit you and take you down by any means they can. Then when it is reported, there is supervision will also try to discredit you and what you have reported. They do not want to hear about it and have anything to do with it. I hoped with such a passion that those guys that did or admitted to doing such things were among the ones that when they came back to "The World" stateside were among the ones that put a pistol to their head and blew their brains out. This is a subject that has deeply affected me from what I have witnessed in the past. I have absolutely no compassion for people that do such things and hope they get the maximum possible penalty for what they have done.
 

I was hired to work at a place where some of the job had to do with repairing mobile radio equipment. Before I could do the actual work though, I had to take an FCC (Federal Communication Commission) exam. I stress the Federal. I was cleared to do the job but on a federal level which assured I was up to standards.. That might be what policing needs. States and municipalities screen applicants, but they first have to complete a federal screening before hiring.

I've had 2 experiences with police officers.

Back when I was 18 I was pulled over for speeding (35 mph. in a factory complex). I was lost and was trying to find a way to turn around and get back on the main street. A cop stopped me, asked for my license, etc. and then said, "I really hate to give you this ticket." I don't remember what I said to him at that point. Then he just stood there and repeated, "I really hate to give you a ticket." Even at the tender age of 18, I was beginning to get what he was hinting at. I started getting nervous and said, "I guess you just have to do what you have to do." He finally wrote the ticket and let me go on my way.

Fast forward to age 21 and sitting at a crowded popular bar. A guy sits down next to me and starts talking about being a cop, trying to impress me I suppose. When I wasn't impressed enough to suit him, he plopped his gun in my lap. I gasped and said, "get that thing off me!" He took it back and I got up and left. Every word is true. I'll never forget that incident.

So, in short, I'm not surprised by anything cops do anymore. But I am appalled with how some of them are so power hungry and don't even try to hide it. There's no excuse for the way they have treated the very citizens they have sworn to protect and serve.

I rarely have any interaction with police officers, but I remember one 51 years ago:
At 19, my girlfriend & I had a picnic planned in a park. I went to the restroom. When I walked in, I saw a man on the floor, slumped against the wall next to a urinal. I thought, "He'll probably never get drunk again when he realizes he passed out on a dirty restroom floor."
After a few seconds, I realized how quiet it was & took a closer look & saw that he wasn't breathing; he was dead. And the brown swede jacket he was wearing was soaked in dried blood. And the zipper on the gym bag next to him was partly open & there was a bunch of cash in it.
I ran out, told my girlfriend about it & we walked across the street to a gas station & called police. They told us to meet them at the park.

One cop went in the restroom & the other one stayed with us. The cop came out of the restroom & said, "Yeah, that's the 211."
He told us the guy tried to rob the liquor store a block away & the clerk shot him.

The cop asked me if I touched anything in the bathroom. I said, "Only the urinal handle to flush it."

The cop asked me, "Did you see the money in the bag?" I said, "Yes."

The cop asked me, "How much cash did you take?"

I answered, "None, sir. How much cash did YOU take?"

The cop asked me, "Why are you being a smart ass?"

I said, "Because you accused me of being a thief."

The cop says, "No, I didn't; I asked you if you touched the money."

I said, "No, you asked me how much cash I took. Don't you see the difference?"

He said "Pfffft" & walked away, mumbling something about "Long-Haired Freaks." The other cop took our names & addresses.

After I calmed down, I asked my date: "Where do they find such dickheads?"

KInd of makes you wish you had phones that took video back then. I don't think the cops would have been so brazen if they knew you were recording what they said.

It's way past time for police reform. Each cop should be mentally tested somehow to find out if they are competent enough to be a police officer. I really know nothing about mental testing, but I do know some jobs require a person to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to either get or retain some jobs. I think all police candidates should be psychologically evaluated in the same way. We need to know that we have police out there that have been psychologically evaluated and are considered to have the mental capacity to make good decisions and also have the mental capacity to think before they act. People will sometimes say "You don't always have time to think before you act." That's not true. We would all be surprised how fast the brain can think, process and react.

I can remember way back in the dark ages when I first applied to the Pennsylvania State Police, we were given some type of psychiatric testing. It wasn't anything like lying on a couch and being asked personal questions, but more like asking routine questions and there were a lot of multiple choice questions and yes/no questions. Most of the testing was written and then there was a second part where the psychiatrist spoke to you and would occasionally ask for your input. From your input, he was able to determine if you had comprehensive skills, which are very important to being a cop. Being proficient with having comprehensive skills is what some people lack and not having good comprehensive skills would or should eliminate a person from being a police candidate.

There was a question on my test that went something like:
You are called to the scene of a terrible automobile accident. What's the first thing you do? (The answers went something like this.)
a. Call for help
b. Check for injuries
c. Ask the drivers involved what happened
d. Call in and tell the dispatcher you're ill and going home (Yes, this was one of the answers.)
I remember it because I laughed out loud after I read the answers.

Welcome back 911.
 
50 years ago, in a Toronto suburb, I was arrested on a picket line. I cooperated immediately, and let the two policemen lead me away. But they jostled my elbows up and down, to make it look like I was resisting. The news footage was shown on every local station.

At the police station, one of the officers was threateningly obscene. I must say that the others were totally professional.

This was in Canada, and I'm a white woman, and it was a long time ago. For what it's worth.

Police use the same "Resisting" ploy when they send their dog to chew on a compliant suspect who isn't their favorite color.
When the dog bites the suspect, he (of course) starts to move & struggle & cops think that makes it look like he's resisting to justify more biting.

During the trial of the 4 cops who pounded on Rodney King, the cops' defense attorney questioned one of the cops who repeatedly testified that "Mr. King wouldn't stop moving & trying to rise to his feet, so that's why they had to continue beating him."
But the District Attorney's question made the cop look like the fool he was when he asked: "Officer, was Rodney King entitled to move in response to you beating him repeatedly with your baton?"

I havenā€™t been able to understand why someone, or a few people in this case, would beat on someone when they know a camera is running and is videoing the incident. I have to scratch my head and think to myself, ā€œAre these guys just plain nuts?ā€

One thing that struck me was the language coming out of the police. That may be the least of the problem but it shows the unprofessionalism.

Your right and if on the job supervision had been better and they were called out on the small things with some degree of frequency it let's them know somebody is watching or cares.

They acted like that because they probably did or observed similar behavior and were rarely called out on their conduct no matter how small or irrelevant it may seem.

Any job the suprise 'visit' tends to shape employees up and most all of sudden remember the rule book and company processes.

It's insane, getting worse and worse! I also read where cops shot and killed a double amputee for trying to run away on his stumps. He didn't have a gun, and he jumped off his wheel chair and "ran" on his stumps but it wasn't really running because he was moving slow. 4 or 5 officers shot and killed him. It's crazy. :oops:

A fact not widely known:
Many people seek careers in medicine & law enforcement because they enjoy seeing people suffer.
If they don't see enough, they're more than willing to create their own; as we've seen with some doctors. (I posted previously about an experience with such a dentist).
Some police officers are also drawn to the profession to seek opportunities to assert their manhood through brutality.
Maybe these 5 can get the cell next to Derek Chauvin & compare notes.

Can you post a link to your post about the dentist? I knew deranged people seek police officer as their profession but didn't know about the ones in health care. :oops:

Found it. From 8-2019:
One dentist I was referred to for a root canal was like that. I've had 28 root canals, so I know what to expect. Very little pain when it's done right. Before he started, he said, "If you feel any pain, just raise your hand to let me know & I'll give you more anesthetic." My first clue was when he started drilling before I was even half numb. When I raised my hand, he ignored me & just drilled with MORE pressure. He gave me a tiny bit of anesthetic & started drilling again, even after I said I could feel everything.

The second time, I almost jumped out the chair & he SMILED. I realized he was enjoying it. I grabbed his hand, got up from the chair, stood 1 inch from him & said, "Get out of here & have your other dentist come in because you won't survive this procedure."
He chuckled & said, "You mean you won't survive it."
I said, "No, YOU won't survive it."
He got the message & left quickly. His partner in the practice came in & asked me, "What did you say to him....he's going home & he's scared?"
I explained what he was doing & he said, "Hmmmm, several other patients complained about him."
I said, "It's not wise to have him here; you're discouraging patients from coming here. He seems to enjoy causing pain. And one of his patients who's not as nice as I am might hurt him & you'll have to clean up the mess."
He said, "You're right." He completed the root canal - with hardly any pain.

Wow that is insane! :oops: šŸ˜±
 
So many whites act as if you've never had a prejudice bone in your body. That's laughable. We are All still learning to be understanding of other races. I speak the truth. Love me or hate me.

I don't care.
