SPRINGFIELD, Mich. — The deputy who arrested a Black man for collecting signatures in Calhoun County earlier this month has been fired, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department. Fake Laws Were Enforced By These Officers |
|
“We hold ourselves to high standards of professionalism to the communities we protect,” writes the sheriff’s department. “When we are right, we are right. When we are wrong, we admit we are wrong.
If all police adopted this attitude they would be much better off. |

Quoted: This video only makes me more anticop. this guy was a retard. View Quote Indeed, and there are many retards like him. The unusual thing is that his department actually gave him some sort of negative response for being retarded. The way that a great deal of police departments around the country would have handled that would be to chant about the thin blue line over and over until people got tired of arguing, and maybe put him on paid leave. |

How tf does a cop not know the law?
"My job is to enforce the law......I don't have to know what the law is...as long as I enforce it" |
|
Goes back to what I always say: Most cops believe they’re always right and feel they have to “win” every interaction. Surprised they went as far as to fire him, but I’ve seen a cop get fired for worse and then get his job back. To the department’s credit, there was another guy they fired and kept fired. So I suspect it was union stuff that saved the first guy. I guess my point is, let’s see if the guy stays fired or not.
I am curious as to what happened to the other dep, if anything. |

Holy fuck this one is even worse, from the same channel.

So does he stay fired, or does he just land another deputy job in the next jurisdiction over? Curious how that works.

I can see a guy who worked in town A for a while getting hired over in town B, and not knowing that town B lacks a 'no solicitation' law
But how the Fruitcake can you be a cop and think that a solicitation law applies to someone going around collecting signatures for a petition, door-knocking for a politician, or sharing your faith? Those are all highly protected categories, how can an officer NOT know that? |

A friend of mine was drinking beer with four of his co workers in his backyard at 3 am on a Saturday . In Texas alcohol can not be sold after 2 am in a bar or after 1am from a convenience store and all liquor stores have to close a 9 pm.
2 police officers drive by his house and see all of them drinking in his back yard. The cops stop and come to the fence and tell them that they can not be out side at night drinking after 2am . My friend asked why and they said that he and his co-workers would be charged with public intoxication if they did not go into his house. My friend told the cops that his back yard was private property and that they where not on public property. The cops said that if people could see them drinking then that was public intoxication. Now my friend told the cops to go fuck themselves and get off of his property. The 2 cops came through his gate into his back yard and grabbed him put him in hand cuffs and told him he was under arrest for public intoxication and disorderly conduct. His co workers all went into his house before the cops could get to them. The next morning when the judge showed up to hear his case / plea and my friend told him what happened the judge dismissed all charges and made a different cop take him back home. My friend got I lawyer the next Monday and the lawyer went to the city attorney and told him that the city could settle out of court for $75,000 dollars or he would see them in court. By Friday the city contacted my friend and his lawyer and asked them if they would settle for $60,000 the lawyer talked it over with my friend and said $65,000 . The city cut a check for $ 65,000 two week later. My friend got $45,000 his lawyer got $20,000. One cop got fired and the other one was made to work in the jail for 2 years before he could go back on the street. The cop working in the jail quite after 5 months. I asked my friend why he didn't go for more money. He told me that his lawyer did it that way because if it went to court it could have taken up to 2 years before it went to trial. He took the fast money. |

"My job is to enforce the law......I don't have to know what the law is...as long as I enforce it" View Quote There was an episode of Live PD shot in the county around Springfield, MO where a cop pulled someone over for only having one license plate. The guy explained that he and the car were from a state that only issued one plate. The cop told him that didn't matter, Missouri required two plates. Some cops are only cops because they have allergies so they can't be the town Dog Catcher. |

Quoted: First off we have waaaayy too many laws. Most of the cops don't know a lot of the laws just like the regular subjects don't know a lot of the laws. I think the police should be personally liable for a 'tell it to the judge' attitude that forces the truly innocent to have to pay into the crony club known as the legal system when it boils down to ignorance of the law - just like the subjects are punished when they get pinched due to ignorance of the law. View Quote Same guy had a video up covering a traffic stop where the reason for the stop was 60 in a 65. I almost had to shut the video off. I would have asked the officer what speeds would prevent him from pulling me over. My guess is that they suspected him of trafficking because it was a rental but on it's face getting stopped for 5 under is absurd. In the video the narrator even shows that the laws about impeding traffic and the like all mention going significantly slower like 40 in a 55. |

Quoted: Quoted: What the hell is a tenants association? Trying to get free housing? That's the short version. The long version is, well, long: A tenant association (or tenant organization) may be made up of tenants who live in a certain building or development, or membership may be on a larger scale -- i.e. renters in a city who belong to a county or citywide local tenants' association. These groups are formed and maintained with a number of goals in mind, including: Informing tenants of their rights under local, state, and federal law. Organizing and lobbying on behalf of tenants and tenants' rights, especially at city and county levels of government. Improving tenant-landlord relationships, building conditions, and services for tenants under a "strength in numbers" model. Encouraging regular communication and community awareness among tenants. more here: https://www.findlaw.com/realestate/landlord-tenant-law/tenant-associations.html |

But I also think a society as complex as ours needs to have more laws than one person could reasonably store in their brain. That's why we haves lawyers etc who specialize in various areas of the law. The problem isn't that there are 'lots of laws' the problem is that we as a society set up a system where police don't need to know the laws they are enforcing. Instead police should only be allowed to enforce the laws they have been specifically trained on, and when the encounter infractions against laws they aren't knowledgeable on, they should call in for further instructions. |

The deputy who arrested a Black man for collecting signatures in Calhoun County earlier this month has been fired, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department.
So, is the fact that the victim is black the only reason anybody gives a shit about false arrest, or would you have fired him for arresting a white guy? |

This is all a result of lowering standards (testing, drug use, criminal history and phycological)just to fill positions. There are dumb asses in every line of work they just glow brighter in police work. We don't like them being there more than the public it makes everyone else's job more difficult. We have to give them an equal opportunity to succeed and then fail before they can be fired. There are many WTF moments involving elevated blood pressure and much yelling when video is reviewed by supervisors.
