Yup they just don't want to be on video destroying people's lives. They know this is wrong. They feel shame, but they're doing it anyways. So the last thing they want is video evidence they were ever this cruel.
The personality disorder that leads people to be cops ought to be a disqualifying trait. I don't really know how we would get appropriate people. The job itself probably creates some of the personality disorder- repeatedly seeing horrible crime scenes is probably traumatic and encountering awful people might create prejudices. It's also bad that some departments disqualify candidates if their IQ is too high.
A partial solution is quite simple: Separate violent crime police from administrative police. This is actually the point of police defunding. You don't need to SWAT unit, or even a firearm to respond to traffic violations, noise complaints, loitering, or domestic abuse.
i don't know the context of this post but i find the headline to be insulting and the comparison within unacceptable.
dogs are loyal and innocent creatures. they are famously the species with which ours has bonded closest. why denigrate them woth parallels to pigs such as police officers?
Chimps might be close. Violent, impulsive, monsters prone to rape and ruining the lives of those they hate while being fiercely loyal to their tribe. Unfortunately it has a negative racial connotation and they're a bit too smart to be compared with cops.
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, is evicting any homeless on state land and heavily pressuring the cities to evict anyone on city land. He's threatening their state funding if they don't do it.
There aren't enough shelter beds though. This is possible because of trespassing laws and the recent SCOTUS decision wiping out a lower court order saying they needed more beds before they could do it.
We're going to have concentration camps in this country and it will be the homeless. That way we can keep blaming them for capitalism exploiting them right out of their homes. While we force them to work.
It could be against municipal code to be camping in the same spot for longer than three days or something, so campers are violating the law, hence the crime scene designation. Just a guess.
