Cops Are Using Over $1 Billion in Post-9/11 Military Gear

From mine-resistant vehicles to robots to semi-automatic weapons, a new study documents the Pentagon hardware still in police custody during a generation-long war.

Here is the full study, from the Watson Institute at Brown University:

the police don’t seem very good at this de-escalation thing. And they wonder why communities don’t trust them???



This situation could've easily escalated into yet another brutal murder of a POC.

And this is exactly why so many POC are in prison today. Cops ask inappropriate questions and conduct inappropriate searches. If he had a few ounces of weed in his car he could be looking at years in prison and a felony. That would disqualify him from government benefits after prison, saddle him with debt, and make it almost impossible to go to school or get a decent job.

Our system needs sooooo much reform.

IDK, both sides are being so childish. I watched a video yesterday about the cops yanking a 20 ish year old girl out of her car and arresting her for no reason and she allegedly didn't get out because she was handicapped and needed a wheelchair.

Then I find the FULL video and that's not even close to the truth. The cop was extremely patient, she was breaking the law, being combative, and he gave her 20 chances to comply with his reasonable demands. Then he pulls her out and arrests her, and she walks just fine.

Here is the full video if you are interested.



So basically you can't trust either side imo.

Remember, never comply is the rallying cry.

We are getting the same cameras at work and have been using similar for years, they are very useful for supporting our statements and incident reports and as teaching tools. The vast majority of people will never see or deal with the **** i do in a standard week, which is a good thing but makes it hard to translate my everyday experience of work to outsiders.

Sadly this is probably true.

Based on the facts as they were laid out I would have found it hard to charge the cops either. I'm actually surprised they even charged the 1 guy. At least at minimum this will spark a change on how cops serve warrants and eliminate no knocks, although they apparently knocked this time. This just seemed like a long series of screw ups and unfortunate events.
