Just how pervasive is police brutality?

CPT Jack Durish — Sat, 09 Jul 2016 21:35:04 -0400

I wish I could find a better source for this video, but a Facebook link is the best I can do. Basically, it reports that you are 7X more likely to be murdered, 15X more likely to be killed in an auto accident, and 42X more likely to be raped than to experience excessive police brutality. Other sources of crime statistics that I've checked seem to bear out the facts presented in this video.

It is happening too much and I think everything is backwards. Cops in the smaller towns and cities were more Mayberry RFD, now we have officers covering for each other. If we had an internal affairs investigation not conclude that police had followed protocols. This adds insult to injury. This burns in everyone; we elect leaders and they avoid us.

It's no more or less pervasive than it was 50 years ago. Today, with the constant surveillance state, it's just easier to broadcast nationwide. Criminals didn't have uncommon protections until liberalism invaded the courtrooms. Liberalism gave criminals a voice they wouldn't otherwise have.

Take CA for example, are you willing to go to jail when you defend your property and family from the criminal element that knows they have more rights than the citizens they victimize?

Can you see what is pinned to my chest it the photo to the left? I loved that badge as much as the uniform under it. I haven't warn either in almost 30 years, but I saw my share of police brutality in my time, but when I saw it I stopped it! Until police officers police each other and put a stop to it when they see it and don't cover for your "brother" officer the general public will think everyone wearing that badge is corrupt. Each and every one of us is responsible to "protect and serve". If you can't abide by that pledge turn in that badge and uniform, let someone with the necessary integrity put it on! Please excuse my rant but I just had to let it out.

I too found this video which lists its reference as the 2008 FBI statistics. I found it quite interesting that American Indians are per capita most likely to be killed in law enforcement contacts than other races. More whites than blacks are killed yearly and hispanics are fairly close behind blacks. These are not the facts that the media paints. I wonder if anyone has done an update based on more recent figures?

Well sir, maybe mere numbers would bear that out as we have only 800,000 plus/minus cops to interact with 300,000,000 folks.
But then you can say that roughly 2%, a reoccurring 2%, commit the most crimes and interact with LE. So cops now have a smaller pool to abuse, as it were, and appear to abuse far less then they could (?).

Any police brutality is unacceptable, regardless of who it is directed towards. However IMO there isn't necessarily an increase in its occurrence. What there has been is an increase in that ability to record and get the information out to the public almost instantly. Only a few years ago we only heard about extreme cases of police brutality through the media; who knows how many lesser instances never hit the papers or TV? Today just about everyone has a cell phone and quickly records and posts everything they see, especially if the police are involved, hoping their post will go viral. I think police forces are doing business as usual and procedures haven't taken into account the increased awareness of the public. Things like dash and body cameras may have forced some police to think a little more before acting but I think their basic training and protocols need to be updated to reflect the impact of social media and the proliferation of cell phones and other recording devices.

First, you need to define brutality. Just because an officer uses force on a suspect does not mean it is brutality, even though many uninformed people think it is. I am a Police Officer and have had to use all levels of force during my career and I can guarantee it has never been judge as brutality even though some have tried o call it that.

I work as a correctional officer at a prison and as for the many years that I have been in this profession I have had 3 uses of force 2 reactive uses and have been in about 6 or 7 planned uses of force all due to the actions of the offender, this has happened over 10year period and in that time I have NEVER seen anyone cross over that line of excessive force against an offender even when a staff member has been injured by the offender.
My Facility has a good history of treating the offenders with respect and compassion and when we are lefty with no choice due to the offenders actions we have security cameras always watching and we document everything especially during and incident, and we hold no grudges against the offenders when thing happen because everybody at some point in their life feels like they are backed into a corner with no way out. we just do our paperwork and document and do our checks to make sure everyone is safe.
its a rare thing when an law enforcement agency has to start paper work and investigate a excessive force incident on one of their own because any sworn officer can have a real bad day. thank GOD its a rare deal when it does happen.
to those of us who work in law enforcement even on the military side always, always be vigilant because when no body is watching somebody some body is always looking and vice versa.

It is only as pervasive as the media makes it out to be. In my 33 years, every experience I've had with law enforcement has been pleasant. Some people would attribute that to my skin color. I attribute that to the fact we didn't have social media back then to sensationalize every little instance with law enforcement. Everyone wants to think they are a Facebook lawyer, but none of them want to actually go to law school. Most people would rather escalate a situation because "well I saw this on Facebook".

Police Brutality Law and Legal Definition :

Police brutality is a civil rights violation that occurs when a police officer acts with excessive force by using an amount of force with regards to a civilian that is more than necessary.

Excessive force by a law enforcement officers is a violation of a person's rights. Excessive force is not subject to a precise definition, but it is generally beyond the force a reasonable and prudent law enforcement officer would use under the circumstances.

Force should be used in only the minimum amount needed to achieve a legitimate purpose. Police brutality is a direct violation of the laws within the police force. The use of excessive force is also a direct violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S Constitution regarding cruelty and protection of the laws.

June 3, 2022

“A former Lithonia officer with a history of sexual assault allegations was sentenced to 25 years in prison after admitting to raping a woman less than a mile from his police station.

David Wilborn, 45, pleaded guilty Friday to rape, aggravated assault and two counts of false imprisonment in the 2019 rape during a traffic stop at Lithonia Park.

Authorities said Wilborn was on duty and in uniform when he forced the woman out of a car and raped her at gunpoint as her friend lay face down in front of the vehicle.”

2.) A cop raped a woman at gun point during a traffic stop.

Since this was in the south, pregnancy could kill her. He should be charged not only with rape, but attemped murder - unless he wore a condom and was 100% sure she could not become pregnant.

He had a history of sexual assault, and of a cover-up. They kept him on as a police offcer anyway.

At least he's going to prison now - finally.

146 Virginia police officers decertified, new law expands to include excessive force and lying

“RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The number of police officers pulled from their positions for dishonesty or excessive force is growing in Virginia. According to the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services’ master list, 146 officers have been decertified as of mid-January. Meaning, they’re currently not allowed to serve as law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth.

8News first looked at the Virginia master list of decertified officers back in July. Since then, 46 new officers were added. More than half of the 146 officers decertified were added to the list in just the past two years. The department began keeping a list in 1999.

The increase in decertification follows a push for policing reforms in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, as well as a new law expanding the offenses for decertification to include excessive force and lying.”

A lot depends on what you count as "police brutality" -- and that absolutely depends almost entirely on who is doing the counting.

I have no doubt that unprovoked police brutality did occur in some places at some times and still occurs occasionally. I also have no doubt that nearly all instances of police brutality that do occur are covered up by police and politicians at all levels.

But the questions of how pervasive and how frequent "police brutality" is are different -- and again, both vary with what gets counted.

If we define "police brutality" as unnecessary force used by police, my unscientific guess would be that it is very nearly 100% pervasive in that it does occur in nearly every department in the nation. I would also suggest that your chances of experiencing physical police brutality are very nearly zero if you aren't involved in one of a few triggering activities (most of which are illegal). One way to nearly guarantee being the victim of police brutality is to be the subject of a high speed car chase.

Like it or not, police officers are human -- with human emotions, human physical responses (such as adrenaline dump) -- this isn't an excuse, but it is reality -- and unfortunately it is a reality that is not well addressed in police training or procedures.

Yes, there are a few bad cops out there -- and there are a few departments where they are tolerated or even encouraged. Not the majority, not even a large number, but even one is too many.

5.) Milwaukee Police Department

During the 1950s and 1960s, the Milwaukee Police Department was accused of brutality and oppression directed at the Black community.

In 1958, the local Black community criticized the Milwaukee Police Department after a cover-up in the death of 22-year-old Daniel Bell. Police Chief Harold Breier remained adamantly opposed to civil rights activities that went on in the city. After the Youth Council’s 1966 Eagles Club protests in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, Breier began a constant surveillance of the group, as well as its advisor, Father James Groppi.

The policemen assigned to the watches would often harass Youth Council members and jail them for offenses as minor as littering or jaywalking. During marches, many police officers often heckled Youth Council and Commando members.

I’ve spoken highly of both MP’s and the UMCJ since my time in service compared to civilian police, the lack of transparency and accountability on the latter is pathetic.

There’s almost INSTANT accountability if a MP { Military Police } crosses the line w/o the “Protect The Blue Wall” B.S. when dealing with law enforcement on post.

Solider or Civilian can go to the Provost Marshal General office and file a complete that will be :

A.) Taken seriously

B.) Will be documented and followed through.

C.) If the complaint is found to be unfounded, that will be addressed also to be dealt with appropriately … as it should.

D.) Depending on the complaint and how serious the violation, CID/AG will get involved if necessary.

Also Garrison Command & the Post Commanding General will be made aware of such violations by MP’s under their command.

Policing is necessary, police brutality is pure B.S.

Follow the Officer's instructions. Be polite and courteous; or, at the very least, be civil. It's okay to know your rights and advise the Officer of them but be sure of your legal facts; what might seem like your right could be very much otherwise under the circumstances.

The Officer does not know you; you are a stranger, who could do anything, including harm the Officer or anybody else. The Officer has only statistics associated with your population group. Your safety, the Officer's safety, and the safety of everybody nearby depends on a smooth, civil interaction between you and the Officer.

Do this, and your chances of being harmed drop to below being struck by lightning.

Personally, I would support a Federal Study that looks deeply into this matter, nationwide. With that said, I suspect the results might be somewhat disappointing to certain people who are not in the right.

Family of Indigenous man want to hear from person who filmed arrest by Hamilton police officer

“Patrick Tomchuk’s family was in court for his bail hearing on Wednesday, where they saw the footage of the 32-year-old being arrested at a gas station on the Hamilton mountain on May 26.

The video, which cannot be released by the court, shows Tomchuk being pinned to the ground near a gas pump, surrounded by officers. One can be seen repeatedly kicking him in the head and stepping on him, holding his head down with his foot, even after it appears Tomchuk has lost consciousness.”

* Hamilton’s police chief called the video “disturbing” while speaking to media outside the central police station on Tuesday, adding that Tomchuk was suspended as soon as investigators saw the footage.

2.) Video played in court shows Hamilton police officer ‘stomping’ Indigenous man on head during arrestMEERI News

Warning: This story contains disturbing details

Hamilton Police Services (HPS) Constable Brian Wayne in May, a video played in court and seen by CBC Hamilton.

Jennifer Steinbeck, Tomchuk’s lawyer, showed the video during a bail hearing Wednesday at the John Sopinka Courthouse.

* In the video, several officers are seen tackling Tomchuk between gas station pumps. The officers forcibly maneuvered the man, while shouting at him in front of the constable. Wayne kicks Tomchuk in the head, then repeatedly stomps his head into the pavement.

* Tomchuk appears unconscious in most of the videos.

* Before the video was played in court, Tomchuk’s children were asked to leave the room. Tomchuk’s family members, who survived including his mother, sister and cousins, wept after watching the video.

** Wayne was suspended following the incident, and later charged with assault on June 16 following an HPS investigation.

** Baldwin said the family wants to share the video to raise awareness about police brutality against Indigenous people.

** His recommendations included a third-party investigation into the assault, for HPS to consider charging Van with a hate crime, HPS to investigate previous alleged assaults on Tomchuk and for police to wear body cameras, among others.

“This needs to be stopped. Education, prevention and accountability should be law enforcement’s highest priority,” Davis said.

In almost every case of what the media portrays as "police brutality", you find the individual failing and outright refusing to follow instructions given them by the police. Their actions often escalate the situation to a point that is totally unnecessary but caused by them, not the police. Yes, there are hotheads on the force but those are few and far between. If you want to spout your rights, you will have a chance in court. You will never win when confronted by the police so just comply and your experience will be less "brutal".

The data suggest that most of the other 54.5% of violent crimes and 82.4% of property crimes in 2018 went unsolved, though there are a few caveats to the FBI's data that are important to note — namely, that it's possible some of those crimes will be solved in subsequent years for which the FBI has not yet published data.

The study found that undocumented immigrants had substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, U.S.-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes."
