First off I don’t see where the union had much to do with this. The one thing people don’t realize if your in a union your union is obligated to defend you by federal law. The union is require to put up the best defense as possible, by federal law. There are ways for a union not to defend members. The union is first and foremost there to make sure what ever discipline that takes place is what is in the agreed contract. I have worked in union and non union jobs. I will say there are bad unions like the teachers union. Then there are unions that do their job and when there is a member that is wrong and or repeats and always has problems the union membership can vote not to defend the member. Don’t always think it’s a unions fault they kept their job. Remember a union member only can use the union and not get outside attorney. It is a double edge sword. It is hard to make any call from a KZbin video. Clearly I agree that some unions are allowed too much power. Not sure if that is the case here

Talk to end qualified immunity is just a distraction. Often plaintiffs atty will help make arguments for the LEO to keep their QI. Turns out qualified immunity ONLY works in civil court. If LEOs keep their QI then usually it is the city or the PD that ends up in the hook, and they more often than not have deeper pockets than the LEOs themselves. There isn't any law or rule that prevents LEO from being criminally charged. Ideally these LEOs would have been charged with kidnapping or its similar cousin false arrest. THEN the victim should be able to sue in civil courts as well. If someone breaks into your house and runs away, if you then go out to the street and mistakenly hold the wrong person at gun point you will end up with criminal charges against you. The fact that one made an honest mistake and held the wrong person at gun point doesn't excuse anything, well why do LEOs get to make mistakes of that magnitude and not get held responsible?

Not the cure for the problem. It’s going to deter good candidates from becoming police officers snd nothing will change in the culture of policing in this country other than it will become even more occupied by even more incompetence and the cause of the issues with policing will continue to go unnoticed and not addressed. Until we hold our elected officials at the top of our local governments accountable and force sheriffs and the mayors, city councils, and DA’s to do their jobs and mayors, councils, and sheriffs are clear that the people demand they hold every level of their agencies accountable fir their own actions as well as those of their subordinates, train and mentor away from the “Us vs Them” mentality and the constant stressing of Officer safety above all to the point of it being infinite,y more important than public safety, and do away with command staff more concerned with political aspirations and trying show everyone that “diversity is our strength” (because it’s not, it breeds mediocrity, acceptance of incompetence, lowers standards across the board, discourages and deters good cops and good candidates, and results in incompetent supervisors and command which doesn’t manage, monitor, nor mentor their subordinates) dismiss command more concerned with growing government, increasing their budget, using cops as revenue generators, and are more concerned with statistics and their “secret” quotas than they are about having the right people, developing them into good cops, policing to serve the community rather than to “keep it in line”, respecting the public and protecting their rights, focusing on keeping the peace, serving justice, and not overreaching to become involved in civil matters and any situation they see occurring and allow an officers ego to lead him into places he doesn’t belong, and insisting on a return to the old mentality in policing from when cops counted on each other and were confident and competent enough to deal with an altercation conservatively and resorting to lethal force only as a last resort, something that only occurs when they’re left with no alternative, rather than being overtaken by “fear of death or serious bodily injury” to the point that they top out the force continuum the second that hey think lethal force will be found to be legally justified and that bar needs to be recalibrated and reset a bit higher. If sheriffs and chiefs won’t do their damn jobs in those cases, then it’s up to the DA to see to it that a grand jury is able to hold officers accountable. These people at the top of the food chain who are responsible for how departments operate work for us, and without our votes, they don’t have a job. It’s about damn time we remind them of this reality and see to it that things are done right instead of just continuing to re-elect these incompetent, corrupt, self-serving swamp monsters, allowing them to continue neglecting their duties and helping themselves while we bitch and complain about the street level cops acting like there’s no oversight or accountability so they eventually devolve into certain undesirable behaviors when that’s actually the case and that’s the way it is because it’s human nature for de-evolution to occur, and we 5he people have been allowing all this to happen without doing a damn thing about it.

There was no physical evidence, the victim said that the defendant looked “sort of” like the robber, but he went to trial based on nothing but racial bias. My mom noticed that the (mostly white male) jury appeared to be buying into the state’s case, so when they were sent to deliberate she marched into the jury room and sat at the head of the table like she was in charge. She later told me “If you want to be the jury foreman, act like you are already and they will elect you”.

The training they get is what's causing the problem , how is more of it going to fix the problem?. When are we going to start talking about the fact that they're training makes them mentally unstable? Their training makes them socially unfit, What about that!?.

Totally unacceptable.

The officers were disciplined: Translation, they were placed on 2 weeks paid administrative leave.

paid vacation for putting an innocent citizen in jail

[@amandawilcox9638]

I was hoping leave was unpaid. Sigh

She doesn’t even look like the suspect!

It's one thing to have the charges dropped, it's another to have them wiped from your record as if they never existed. This false arrest could still come back to haunt this lady.

[@thewewguy8t88]

Exactly I have heard stories of cops knowing full well someone got arrested when they did a check on them even though the charges were "dropped"

[@paulettebarrow9791]

@JEDI, THEY WILL HAVE TO EXPUNGE THE CHARGE

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

@@paulettebarrow9791 True, but even then there's still a record of the charges having been wiped from existence.

They: listen but don't hear, look but don't see, guesstimate but don't investigate. Thanks to social media, we now realize just how wretched our justice system is from the bottom up.

What heroes. Arrest the wrong person AND takes you two days to realize it.

[@jturtle5318]

They didn't realize it, she bailed herself out.

[@Dave174385]

They needed two days to try to trump up a charge to justify the arrest.

[@paulscott1048]

They intended to arrest her, to prevent hospital staff from collecting rape kit evidence.

[@sophieloves7092]

The hospital should also be held responsible

[@kurtwetzel154]

I bet the cops bullied the hospital people doctors and nurses to get their way.
