More police brutality than you can shake a stick at.

Not really brutality - though a crap arrest did get the ball rolling - more, well...

Austin police chief Art Acevedo has issued an apology for comments he made during a pressconference yesterday concerning the arrest of a female jogger near the University of Texas campus on Thursday.

Acevedo dismissed the controversy over police handling of a jaywalking jogger, saying 'Cops are actually committing sexual assaults on duty so I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin, Texas.'

Today, he released a statement saying that he was trying to put the arrest of jogger Amanda Jo Stephen 'into context by bringing attention to the fact that law enforcement deals with many acts of serious misconduct' including recent cases of police officers sexually assaulting civilians.

'In hindsight I believe the comparison was a poor analogy, and for this I apologize,' reads his statement...

A 73-year-old woman, who was bitten by a police dog as it searched for a suspect in her garden has died in hospital, police have said.

Irene Collins was attacked by the German shepherd on Wednesday, inside her home on Penrith Road, Middlesbrough. Cleveland police have referred the matter to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and the dog has been withdrawn from operational duties.

It was understood Collins was in poor health when she was attacked. Witnesses said the dog handler was extremely upset after the incident.

The police said: "Cleveland police are deeply saddened to receive the news that 73-year-old Irene Collins, of North Ormesby, who was injured following contact inside her home with a Cleveland police operational police dog last Wednesday, has passed away in James Cook University hospital, Middlesbrough over the weekend."
 
the police frequently seem to have problems keeping their dogs under control. i remember at the g20 do in london in 2009 a policeman having great difficulty keeping his dog from biting the passers-by, and in birmingham for the tory party conference (opposing, not attending) i saw a dog lunging at children and only held back with difficulty by its handler.
 


None of the police involved will face any charges. It seems that him getting attacked by several armed men and him then dying shortly afterwards was purely coincidental, despite the earlier coroner's report ruling that Rodriguez was killed by the actions of the police.

District Attorney Greg Mashburn said on Friday that he will not file any charges against the officers, saying they were within their legal right to detain Luis Rodriguez. He said the use of force by the officers against Rodriguez was justified and appropriate under the law. There is no nexus between illegal actions on behalf of the officers and Rodriguez's death.

Attack dogs are not an appropriate tool for police to use in any situation. I'd rather by tasered several times than have a police dog set on me.
 
think some dogs died after being left in a car and cops were prosecuted. Three hundred human deaths in police custody, nothing. nada.

Well yeah, the dog just wants to bite anyone it can get at. It's not gonna give a fuck about reasonable suspicion or any of that is it?
but who made it that way? shouldn't they be in trouble with the police for creating a vicious attack dog, a weaponised animal if you will, which if some young lad from hackney or lambeth had owned would have led to a jail sentence and moral panic.

Quis custodiet ipsos cutodes?
 
I've mixed experience with 'the Filth (endearing term)'. On all but few occasions I've been nicked, it's been bang to rights, no point arguing and a done deal and I'm fairly compliant. I could tell some tales of where I've not been but can't be arsed to type out the more amusing ones tonight (tbh it's probably a thread by itself, guilty, not, or otherwise).

I would say though, I resist more with the met, as they seem to attract a more dedicated type of arsehole. Even the babylon I know from surrounding forces don't like em, that's gotta make em proper wrong'uns!
 
Policeman asks black man for his license (US) then shoots him when he goes to get it.:eek:
