A police SUV slammed into a bar in St. Louis. Police response drawing scrutiny

St. Louis Police File Felony Charge Against Bar PM Owner After SUV Crash

So a police SUV seen running red lights in the middle of the night swerves for no reason and crashes into a bar. No investigation is done into the officer driving, while the owner (who lived upstairs) is arrested and charged with felony assault of an officer after supposedly shoving one of the officers.

There's body cam footage, and the department is refusing to release it.

This is the cops covering for other bad cops shit that is infuriating. At the very LEAST this is gross negligence, but there have been zero consequences for the cop who crashes into the bar.

These liars all deserve to be fired.

I expected to be irritated by some dork doing dumb shit in the video, but I was pleasantly surprised by how it was actually pretty funny.

Incompetent St. Louis cops crash into a bar while driving three times the speed limit, then beat up and arrest the owner on multiple bogus felony assault charges for confronting them about it.

The department is refusing to comment or release the bodycam footage.

Lord let me have the same confidence going into 2024 as this cop has driving into a business and then arresting the owner for “disturbing the peace”

Walter Scott was bs

Footage, sorry forgot it

This was the case that this thread started with before it was labeled as cops doing something wrong. Tennessee vs garner covers this case perfectly. Police can shoot a fleeing felon with a firearm that has already proven themselves to be an active threat to the community

Walter Scott was bs

That was one of the worst police shootings in the last ten years only surpassed by the murder of Andre hill(I think that was his name) in Columbus Ohio who was unarmed and had his hands up with only a cell phone in his hand.

The shooting was justified. The family and lawyers will publish 8th grade photos and say way a great guy he was. Austin is a very liberal town so I'm not sure this will not go somewhere. Maybe not legal charges and the city giving them money and the cops told on the side their career are stalled where they are if not forced to quit.

And why would anyone in their right mind want to be a cop now. Especially in any large city.

Yes, his family won the shitbag lottery on this one. They will get millions because their family member shot someone and then tried to flee while still holding his gun. I don’t care that he jumped and fell and was in the ground. He was still holding that firearm and according to TN v garner, police can shoot a fleeing felon if they are an immediate threat to the public, which this case absolutely shows that the need to stop this dangerous guy at all costs was justified and outweighed his fourth amendment rights

Awesome look for the US, in a State that isnt a "stop and ID State"...show your papers when literally anything bad happens or you go to jail:



Instead of helping, potentially f*ck up his life with a stupid arrest.

Technically, there's no such thing as a "stop and ID state," meaning that cops cannot legally demand that you produce ID for no reason in the US.

There are several states that have "stop and ID" statutes that require people to give their legal name if they haven't been arrested, but they're all in accordance with Terry v. Ohio and the prerequisite is that there is reasonable suspicion of an actual crime to justify the investigative detention.

However, in practice, a lot of cops think that they're justified in demanding ID under any circumstance and hooking up people who fail to comply.

Yes, we've debated Cops' crack-like addiction to ID's very thoroughly here.

We believe you're guilty, so we are going to interrogate you, and you do NOT have a right to an attorney:



This is what happens when you think Cops are actually supposed to help you

Man this one: "How dare you not be our obedient friend!!"

 

[Natural Order]

“Trump is not my president “ person

It said, "You're being a white man" near the end during the meltdown.

How retarded can you be?

This guy is great. Trying to remember his YouTube channel

Man this one: "How dare you not be our obedient friend!!"

Man, Lackluster's channel could fill up this entire thread.

So many egregious stories that generally don't get national media coverage because they don't involve "serious" usage of force.

Cops don't have to take their guns out of the holster to destroy someone's life and not face any consequences.


Here's the upload from today. Dude gets violently arrested for telling a Sheriff's lieutenant to "be nice" while he was arresting someone else.

The big takeaway from this one is that Oklahoma doesn't even have a statute creating consequences for unlawful arrests, which makes accountability almost impossible.

Man this one: "How dare you not be our obedient friend!!"

The corporal in this video is a real piece of work.

He cannot make the distinction between someone asserting their right to remain silent and personal insults.

Telling the guy that he considered him "dangerous" to everybody in the department for having previously exercised his fifth amendment right not to answer non-pertinent questions during a traffic stop is insane.

Then he got even angrier that the guy was nice to him when he was off duty.

Not only is that corporal completely unprofessional and indifferent to citizens' rights, but he has the emotional maturity of a toddler.

I have no idea how so many people can reflexively defend this kind of stupidity or how they can think that incompetent government agents like this are actually making them safer.
