I still remember this time the mayor of this town was drunk driving, and they decided to go ahead and arrest him for it. They were able to get the charges to stick thanks to the bodycam footage.
I was shocked and appalled at his entitlment. I expected him to expect to be left off the hook, but the way he was acting. No whining, begging, or pleading. He just stood firm and calm as he reprimanded the police and demanded they get the chief immediately...
He really came off as though he genuinely believed the cops were the ones breaking the rules and getting in trouble for arresting him, or even stopping him, not himself...
For the rich and privileged it's a whole different ball game.
He wasn't a cop: mayors take notice.
They don't Isuzu beat you anymore, but lots of states have a law that part of having a driver's license is consent to a breath test, so if you refuse they revoke your license.
Either have to be rich or a bootlicker. Presumably some people can be both.
friendly fire is generally frowned upon

Also fuckcars
An (ex) friend of mine refused a breathalyzer when a county sheriff found him sleeping behind the wheel in a parking lot after a day of drinking. Because he refused the test the county revoked his license.
Meanwhile this cop hits a child and nothing happens.
Note to self: if I'm going to commit a crime make sure I'm a cop first.
Make sure you’re a cop and do it with a car. You’ll probably have a greater chance of receiving compensation for the ‘trauma’ you suffered than face any criminal consequences.
Or use a gun. Or throw a flash bang into a crib. Or start a fire with a flash bang. So many ways to get away with murder when you’re a cop.
Actually…literally almost every way. Choking, beating, shooting, running over, blowing up…cops are fuckin murderers. Fuck the fucking police.
You’ll probably/almost certainly get off if you use those methods but, you might have to face paid leave or desk duty first. With a car you can get right back to shooting dogs the very next day.
It's great because when they call the cops you just say "already at the scene, boys; nothing to see here – all good 'n' dandy, Sandy"
You see, when you are cop and you aren't outraged and calling for this fucker to be fired, it means you too are part of the problem.
That's why people hate cops. It's not that all of you are assholes, but you seem way too comfortable working along side massive pieces of shit.
So when do we charge this man with terrorism?
Union? That's what their union is for?
Yep! The police union is anti union. It's a bit strange, for sure.
The only union Right Wingers believe in is the Police OFficer's union
Well mainly their Union is for busting real unions.

No mother fucker, The Boys is a fucking documentary
Not calling 911 right away makes this textbook negligent manslaughter even if he was sober.
Well not manslaughter as the kid is alive. But still a felony, loss of his driving license, and prison time in any state.
Three counts on which he should not be a police officer anymore.
It would be nice if equal protection under the law applied to cops as well
So the responding officers were fired for not collecting evidence, right? Right?
Fuck you, Suffolk county. You and your people suck worse than Nassau, and that's fucking saying something.
Don't come to the city with your shitty driving and low quality people.
Suffolk county res here, can confirm
Sorry dude. Love the beaches and Montauk but had pretty bad times trying to be friendly with people out there.
North side of the island is friendlier and the Hamptons are friendly. South side is pretty crazy. Like giant Trump flags and huge paper mache maga hats on giant trucks crazy.
Where I live it's illegal to refuse a drug driving test
Illegal for us plebs. Not for off duty cops
Saving The Children DOESNT mean Protecting the from Police Brutality! It means Protecting them from RAINBOWS!
Serve and protect.
... your own
when these cops gonna start wearing masks?
So, real question, since it isn't stated: Half naked 2 year old Kid, Off his leash, built from gummy bears, was trying to pick a fight with liquor-fueled cop car? ...and no one thought to blame it on all the empty liquor bottles that tried to run.
IIRC, he rear-ended the shit out of a small car with his giant pickup truck while well over the speed limit. There were two kids in the back seat.
