what we are teaching kids about the police

If I saw your article I may be able to tell the differance.


This is why occupy is not going away anytime soon.


Anahiem and orange country that Anahiem is in are big republican places.

They treat their poor their like animals they only let out on tuesday to mow the lawns and do the dishes of the wealthy

total and complete bullshit
 
Jarod, ask the police if it's their job to protect you. You'll find out that, sadly, their job is often to wait for someone to be victimized before they can act. Ask a battered wife or an abused partner if they can call the police for protection.

Case in point: The family in Connecticut that were murdered while the cops waited for the perps to LEAVE THE SCENE... They let the perps rape the women and children and then set fire to the victims home.

Hooray for the heros in blue!

what? do you have a cite for this? i can't find this story.
 
The only difference in today's police and the police of my youth is the perception.

Now even white people know the truth about them .. a truth we've been telling them for a hundred years.

BAC:

you usually make good points, but this is not one of them. it is not based in reality at all. consider how white immigrants were treated in this country during the (mostly latter part of) 1800's and into the 20th century. the reality is, economically lower classed people are almost always treated different. there a police that hate black people, there are police that hate micks, jews....etc.....
 
I'd tell my kids the same thing I tell my god children; Do not talk to police without me around. Do not trust them ever unless you know them very well. Even then do not trust them completely.
 
police are not there to protect any single individual. numerous court cases abound that directly claim that police are there to protect society in general and that no single individual is owed police protection at any time.

fair enough. but i wouldn't go so far as to tell my kids that the police are not there to protect them. afterall, they are society.
 
i know the case STY. that doesn't support his claim:




his comment implies they knowingly waited....until they left.

FTA:

Capt. Robert Vignola acknowledged that a half-hour passed between the time police first learned of the break-in, and the time they saw the two accused murderers, Steven Hayes, 47, and Joshua Komisarjevsky, 30, run out of the house, get into the Petit's car, and try to escape. It was only then that police noticed the house was on fire.

Vignola said there was no sign of activity inside when police arrived, and that they set up a perimeter around the Petit house, in accordance with standard procedure. He said that if he had known what was going on inside, "I would have been the first one through that door," The Associated Press reported.
