little known fact, officers in Nevada have medicated shoe tips for emergency situations just like this...

Guys, you have this completely wrong. It's totally cool, these kind of cops are very rare and should not be used to judge police as a whole.

I salute the courageous, unselfish officers who risked their lives armed with nothing more than batons, tasers, handuns, body armor and the unlimited power of the state to bring that dangerous terrorist to heel. My god, just imagine what would have happened if he were allowed to go about his business that day...

Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. You see...

Insulin?

Farking drug addicts.

I don't know how many they were gonna need

But i knew how many they were gonna use

How many dogs and cats does each have?

One... Two... Three... Four...



... Five... Six... Seven!

Seven pigs who need to be cleaning Vahlmart bathrooms for zehr next jobs. Ah ah ah!

/Whew, zat really zeems like a lot! I almost neehver have to count past four.

Amos Quito: DRUNK OR DIABETIC, THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO KICK A NON-RESISTING MAN IN THE HEAD.

let's not be hasty. he might be a jew, or a jew-lover.

Amos Quito: $158,000?

Pity he's not black.

He'd have gotten ten times that much.

Something similar to this happened local to me last year. The man (black) was in diabetic shock in his condo and and a next door neighbors cleaning lady heard loud noises and caught a glimpse of him thought the window. She then called the police because she thought he was robbing the place, the police found him naked sitting on his upstairs toilet and thought it would be good to beat him with a night sick and pepper spray him for a bit when he was un-compliment

Imagine how bad it would have been if he had been compliment.

This is just another example of the 98% giving the 2% a bad name.

See, that footage? It's all in how you look at it, people.

For instance, if you play it backwards, you see them help Greene up and send him on his way.

Inquisitive Inquisitor: Years ago I saw a traffic stop turn into a fracas when a man went into a seizure and started flailing around. The officer interpreted it as resisting arrest and did the bare minimum to subdue him. After EMS arrived and his condition was noted by the paramedics the officer immediately contacted his supervisor, removed himself from the scene and turned himself in for discipline. He even went to the hospital and apologized for what happened. There was no cover up and no one lied to save face.

That's how you own up to a mistake as a law enforcement officer.

No, that's how you get the shiat sued out of you by anyone involved for an insane amount. You cannot do this in a litigious society that we live in. It's also how you get to drop any legal and union protection you had as a police officer in the incident, since you've now gone around the chain of command and established policy and procedure of the department.

Chances are, he had someone with stars on their lapel telling him to go apologize.

/just sayin'

Anecdotally, the one cop I've blown was pretty large.

Wow. I can't believe I said that out loud. God, I am a whore.

$158,000?

Pity he's not black.

He'd have gotten ten times that much.

Which one of these cops was the "one bad apple"?

IrateShadow: Guys, you have this completely wrong. It's totally cool, these kind of cops are very rare and should not be used to judge police as a whole.

Can we judge police as a-holes instead?

"Do not Move!!! ..... put your hands up!!!"
/ok, which is it?

I demand each one of those officers be put on paid administrative leave for a minimum of one year.

Need to teach these thugs a lesson.

ArrogantGod: I missed he part in the story where the cops were threatened or attacked in any way.

A cop doesn't have to wait until they're attacked to take precautions to protect themselves, why is it so hard for you to grasp that?

BronyMedic:

Actually, studies have shown it's a way to PREVENT litigation. Note who gives the 'don't apologize' advice - LAWYERS. Why would lawyers tell you not to apologize? They know it actually increases the chances you'll be hauled into court and need their services.

There was a SWAT team that busted in the front door of the wrong house, a old lady lived there. The police sheriff came and personally apologized, said that it was a mistake and that procedures would be reviewed(not changed, reviewed). He posted a deputy to watch the door until the carpenter he hired came that morning to fix it.

Result: No lawsuit.

SWAT team does much the same in another county, says it was justified, refuses to pay for anything, etc...

Result: Lawsuit and ~$1M judgement

brantgoose: Diabetics often sound and act like they are drunk when they go into insulin shock. It is important that the general public and public officials, including the police, be aware of this and other causes of misunderstanding and uninformed reactions.

This sort of thing happens all the time--people think a diabetic who is having an episode is drunk. It's understandable but preventable.

There's also a tragic amount of ignorance an misinformation about mental illness, epilepsy, autism, disabilities, etc.

Educate yourself on the symptoms and treatment of common afflictions such as stroke, diabetes, epilepsy, shock, etc. It may save a life or a misunderstanding.

Let each of these odd stories be a teaching moment and Fark.com can make the world a better, safer, less funny place.

/WTF?

CheekyMonkey: PrinceofFark: ou and I completely agree, there is no reason to troll. Cops are, for better or worse, above the average 9-5, pump ye gas, fill out yea insurance claim, take ye order at the drive-thru, grunt.Where we completely disagree is whether this is a Good thing or a Bad thing. I see it as a necessity for them to perform their jobs as we expect.

OK, so not a troll, just a fascist. Apparently, you and I have different opinions of what constitutes an officer of the law performing his duties. I expect that the officer should obey the laws they are sworn to uphold, where as you believe they are outside the law.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

So what

PrinceofFark: You help out your fellow burger flipper or gas pumping attendant, so why is it so hard for you guys to grasp the concept of LEO's standing up to help each other against plain old citizens?

How often does a burger flipper have the opportunity to violate a person's civil rights and get away with it because the fry cook covered up for him?

Obviously that diabetic should have been fat somewhere else.

indylaw: 74% accuracy? Holy shiat! It's fair to be arrested, have your license administratively suspended, and lose your rights on the strength of a test which is approximately right 3/4 of the time under lab conditions, administered by someone with a vested interest in making arrests, a high-school education and an afternoon worth of training.

"You got a problem with that? Are you reaching for a weapon, sir? I SAID ARE YOU REACHING FO..." *BANG*

What's the difference between a cop and a light bulb?


Wait for it...

The light bulb is supplied with electrical current by feed-through terminals or wires embedded in the glass, while the officer is supplied with energy through the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed into the blood stream.

/I'll be here all week folks

bunner: 20 bucks says they "confiscated is syringes and cash. That wasn't law enforcement, that was felonious assault and robbery. You guys ain't even got the f*cking stones to admit which team you're on.

I'm on team "Stab Edward and Bella in the farking heart with a stake". What team are you on?

Grables'Daughter: That video is very hard to watch.

Yeah, every time the action starts to pick up, it stops to buffer.

Forget the drugs, let's make things safer by taking more cops off the streets.

Amos Quito: $158,000?

Pity he's not black.

He'd have gotten ten times that much.

I know, right? Lucky black guys ... Cops kick their ass and THEN pay em! Every. Single. Time.

CheekyMonkey: Grables'Daughter: That video is very hard to watch.

Why, are you in diabetic shock?

Did it look like I was resisting?

CheekyMonkey: PrinceofFark: I watched the video, the headline is sensationalist in nature.


The LV PD clearly could use a brush up on understand different types of conditions that the citizens could have, this was misdiagnosed as intoxication so you cannot be too vigilant in getting someone in a moving vehicle off the road, kudos for LEO's on that call.

The force used was somewhat heavy handed however, given the context I think things could have been a lot worse. Cops are going to back each other up just like you guys do for your fellow burger flipper and AOL call centre biatch, no need to pretend like your really upset about something you are guilty of too.

You are correct, sir. Why, just the other day, I, and 4 of my co-workers jumped over the counter at Mickey-D's, and proceeded to kick the ever-lovin' shiat out of an old man who was complaining about his fries being cold.

I'm sure all of us are guilty of using excessive violence in the workplace from time to time. If the rest of us are free to commit violent criminal acts while on the job, why should the police be held to a different standard.



You already know the answer. If all cops were held to the same standard, which they shouldn't and I'm very glad they are not, we wouldn't have any cops left out there. They would all be behind bars.

I don't if it's jealousy or just lack of understanding of politics and basic human behaviour, but some of you have a real issue dealing with the fact that cops are above the law and are legally viewed as 'better people' than you and I. We all know this is the case and it's rammed down your throats on a daily basis.

Just deal with it.

There's that one bad apple again! I wonder how he keeps getting back on the police force...

9beers: The officers had no way of knowing that they were dealing with anything other than an unruly person. The only guy who acted inappropriately is the officer who kicked the guy in the head.

If you aren't a cop, you should join up immediately. You have the right mentality, farkwit.

Aww, c'mon. Occasionally getting beaten by law enforcement is just one of the small prices one must pay to live in the 'land of the free'. I mean, look at the alternative. If it weren't for police, a violent gang of criminals could drag you from your car, kick you repeatedly in the head, and basically get away with it. Fortunately, we have a vigilant police force to protect us and deliver the beatings themselves. USA! USA! USA!

The insulin made him insolent!

Don't worry everyone. None of the cops lost any pay and the town will no doubt win their money back and more in the countersuit against this notorious & evil perp who no doubt did tons of damage to these poor victimized cops' boots, medical bills incurred for attacking their fists with his face, etc.

thelordofcheese: Theaetetus: Later, one of the police officers discovers the dash cam on the highway patrol cruiser, and is heard mentioning it to a colleague.
'It's on camera,' he says.
The other replies: 'They don't know you. I wouldn't worry about it.'
Authorities said they will not release the names of the officers involved in the incident.

Farking cover-up. What a bunch of pieces of shiat.

And this is why I keep telling you guys to kill cops. Seriously. go to their houses and burn them down. Do it.

/lol, slept with a cop's daughter AGAIN last night

You see, I was on your side until you advocated mass murder. You've got to lay it on thin, eventually after a long and winding post make us believe that we're not killing anybody, but actually cleaning up the streets because cops are the new criminal.

She then called the police because she thought he was robbing the place, the police found him naked sitting on his upstairs toilet and thought it would be good to beat him with a night sick and pepper spray him for a bit when he was un-compliment. once they got him outside onlookers said he lived there so the police threatened to arrest them for obstruction of justice. not until the ambulance arrived and the EMT who knew the man verified his identity from previous diabetic shock incidents, did they let him go.

All records have been sealed on the case, and the Hartford, VT police and VT state police stand behind that decision. Since he was not actually arrested so they don't need to release the records. in accordance with Vermont laws.

/end csb
// could the fact that he was black and this was VT have anything to do with it? mayybe


shiat happens.

Everyone of you has implicitly agreed to the system we live in, which is you pay to be protected. Law Enforcement agents put their lives on the line daily to protect us from a laundry list of ailments, situations and other people with less than good intentions.

The odd time a LEO will exercise poor judgement and unfortunate situations like your story will take place. Tough. We do not live in a perfect society and you all clamoured for a decade about being in fear from terrorists and needing to be protected from every little threat. The Federal Government got the memo, don't worry. But the key is you don't get to pick and choose what a free society where you are protected by the Government looks like, they do.

Cops are above the average grunt salary earner, they won't tell you that because you have the emotional intelligence of a 5-yr so they simply joke about it amongst themselves but look no farther than this incident itself where the DA is protecting the cops by hiding their names from the public.

Get it through your head, Cops are better and more valuable people than you are, and you'll be treated like such whether you like it or not. And no, you gave up your right to complain about it once you gave up your freedoms and liberties in exchange for 24/7, digitally recorded around the clock protection from the outside world. These cop bashing threads really make the lot of you look worse than you are, if that is ... possible, wow. You asked for this, and if it was as bad as you try and portray the system as, you'd get off your lazy fat ass and do something to change it.

You won't, and you'll remember to keep your yappy mouth shut as soon as it's in front of a Law Enforcement officer and away from your shield of stupid, the PC.

/Loves watching tough guys shrink down to their REAL size and piss their pants when confronted with true authority
//Most of you would not only recant your cop bashing but you'd suck up the cop and rat each other out

Sounds like the COPS are the ones are in most urgent need of "education".

Maybe we should start a campaign, get a Federal Grant, educate the SWINE and pocket millions in the process?


DRUNK OR DIABETIC, THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO KICK A NON-RESISTING MAN IN THE HEAD.

There's no excuse to kick anyone in the head. Resisting or not.

There was a push a few years back to make every law enforcement officer in the United States a certified First Responder. Although it was because of the AED and CPR, not because of the diabetic issue.

As I recall, it never gained steam because the LEO community was worried about the legal implications of assuming care of a patient.

/Oh, crap. I'm agreeing with Amos Quito. Hell has frozen over.
