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.

The court of public perception still blames the police. No statistics will prove otherwise.

TSgt Frank Shirley - I wait till the investigation is complete and find facts before I determine if it is justified or not. It's not about race to me. That doesn't mean it isn't about race to the media or others.

Unfortunately. I'm in the police academy now and a lot of discussions were about it. Honestly, that's unreal to convince people of it after such stories as BLM. I found a lot of interesting thoughts here during preparing coursework on this theme. I think if people research more - they would change their opinion. That's easy to watch the news and then try to think your own way.

I would also add the point that the media only focus on the extreme cases but not on all kind things police do for us

The media will only focus on the extreme cases. This in turns creates the image that the majority of police use brutality. Social media has taken it to a new level we are evolving into a nation that is hyper-polarized on many issues. The middle ground is disappearing.

But When To Become A Full Fledged Cop & Are On Duty For 6 Months, Or So... Swing By & Fill Us In On The Realities Of Being A Cop.. I Had A School Buddy Of Mine, Serving On The Lansing, Michigan PD.....Here's Some Of What He Did For Night Time Entertainment When Things Became Boring......Her Said, "Regardless Of Whether Or NOT Someone Actually Violated A Traffic Law, They'd Be Ticketed..... IF They Had A Certain Number On Their License Plate,,, Example, #3.....ANYONE With A #3 On Their Plate Was Issued A Drummed Up Citation...... It Was A GAME.....Each Side Of Town Would Compete... A Code # Was Used.. Example 10-8-B Might Mean 8 Tickets/Car#B (B=2) 2nd Letter In Alphabet..."8 Tickets Written By Police Car #2". ... And So On.......

I Just, By No More Than Chance, Had My Car Stolen While Picking Up A Printing Order For New Menu's, From Sir Pizza On South Cedar Street, Lansing, Michigan,
Somewhere Around The Winter Of 1992..
One Of The Cops Who Showed Up Was A Guy I'd Gone To School With At West Junior High..And I'd Not Even Heard About Nor Seen HIM Since The 7th Grade..
I Assume He's Retired By Now, But I Recall His Last Name Vividly, Because It's "FORD"..
And Michigan Was Automobile State Of America.,....And That's What Ford Told Me...
Whether Or Not ANYONE Believes It, Makes NO Difference....
I KNOW It Happened, And Nobody Else Needs To Believe It Anyway.!
BFD...Right? It Really Is To Me.

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.

It has also made them somewhat less effective. The detectives on my squad did it right 99% of the time. If you scared them with a weapon however, all bets were off. We didn't have camera's in the 80's either.

Just how pervasive is police brutality?

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?

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?

CPT Jack Durish IMO those numbers should be a higher. LEOs do so much good that never gets press because we are just doing our jobs or it isn't inflammatory so no one hears about it.

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.

Police brutality can affect anyone, don't be rediculous . I remember the black lady professor in Texas claimed police harassed her as she walked down the street. The police released the video and she was flat out lying!

Here is a tip- obey the law. Statistics show that a cop is 18 times more likely for a white cop to be killed by a black male, than for a black male to be killed by a cop. It is a real statistic. My hats off to cops out there-regardless of color. God bless you all!

I’ve NEVER been a minority or any such thing … I am a Human-being that’s ALWAYS KNOWN my value and racist titles NEVER applied to myself.

Period

White society NEVER been the “Status Quo/Measuring Stick” for myself … the approval, pat on the head … sh*ts laughable.

We ALL turn to dirt, We ALL leave the physical form one day.

1.) Graphic Police Brutality Photos Show Cop Smiling After Beating Black Veteran Bloody In Colorado

WRITTEN BY BRUCE C.T. WRIGHT
8 HOURS AGO

WARNING: The images in this article are graphic and should be viewed with discretion

“Dalvin Gadson, who served in the Army National Guard as a helicopter mechanic, claims he was racially profiled and subjected to a brutal attack by multiple police officers in Colorado Springs while others looked on and didn’t intervene after he was pulled over for his car failing to display its tags in October.

One of the photos taken in the aftermath of the beating shows an officer smiling while displaying what appears to be a bruised knuckle, presumably from the

* “After I was punched several times in the face, I lost consciousness. (NOTE: No officers on the scene tried to stop this wrongdoing against me. There was thirteen police officers on the scene) I regained awareness, lying on the asphalt. I was covered in blood, with two black eyes, one eye swelled shut with blood in my cornea, my whole body badly bruised, abrasions all over, lips busted, ribs and spine hurting and my eyesight was halfway gone (NOTE: my eyes, head, spine and back are still damaged from this incident).”

2.) Cop Smiles after Violently Beating Homeless Army Vet

* Attorneys for Dalvin Gadson, a 29-year-old veteran, are calling for an investigation following the release of a photo of Gadson’s bloodied face after he was beaten by police officers. According to a Newsone report, the cops were also photographed smiling with bloody knuckles as Gadson laid on the ground.

3.) Update: CSPD officers shown on video beating homeless veteran

* Pam Zubeck Dec 12, 2022 Updated 3 hrs ago

“It is imperative that we look at all the facts when evaluating officer interactions with citizens," Police Chief Adrian Vasquez said in the statement. "We will respect the on-going court process but welcome dialogue with our community when we are free to talk about this case further.”

When Gadson refused to get out of his car because he didn’t understand why he was being detained, the officers attempted to force him out, punching him repeatedly in the head and face.

The beating continued even after Gadson was out of the car with the officers punching and kicking him in the head and back," according to the release.

Daniels cited photos of his client as evidence, calling him a homeless veteran living out of his car while he tried to re-enlist. "But all these officers saw was a black man and they beat him for it, smiling for the camera as he lay on the ground bleeding,” Daniels said in the release.

“They beat him mercilessly and now he’s afraid to go outside and the VA can’t see him to treat his injuries and PTSD until January.”

Well, in my mind the word minority has always had a mathematical relationship. There is a majority of people and then there is a minority of people. How other people view the word isn't my concern, just as I don't concern myself with how other people view any word I use. I typically view words as they are descripted in commonly used dictionaries.
Also, I have already read all of your previously written posts.

Daniel Shaver shooting video tells us much more than Philip Brailsford's aquittal

Opinion: Did former Mesa police officer Philip Brailsford act irresponsibly when he killed Daniel Shaver? A jury said no, but trained eyes viewed the evidence and said yes.
