watch cop take $1300 from man's pocket and pepper spray anyone who asks why - nypd

It was Joye’s 35th birthday, and he’d withdrawn the cash — earned from his construction job — to take his wife out for the night, according to his lawyer.

“Give me my money, man! Give me my money,” says Joye in the clip, the stack of bills clearly visible in the officer’s hand. In response, he gets sprayed in the face.

“That’s robbery,” says a bystander. “How you gonna take his money?” When Joye’s sister approaches the officer to get his name and badge number, she, too,

week, NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton vowed to “aggressively seek to get those out of the department who should not be here,” officers “so callous, so brutal, so corrupt that they feel comfortable engaging in those acts of brutality, acts of corruption without fear.” In the days since, the videos of police misconduct just keep coming.

The latest is not just shocking for the physical brutality some have come to expect, but for the bald corruption with no apparent regard for consequences — although there’s also brutality. While being filmed during a stop-and-frisk near a basketball court in Coney Island last month, an officer can be seen reaching into a man named Lamard Joye’s pocket and taking what Joye claims was $1,300. Then the cop starts pepper-spraying.

Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said, “A 35-second-long video does not provide enough information about a police encounter to come to any conclusion about what transpired.”

3. Solution for that. Put cameras on the Cops. Or, pull the CCTV

tapes and see what they show.

9. I actually like the idea of cameras being part of the police officer uniform.

And with todays technology its possible and they could do two backups one on the officer the other streamed live and stored in a secured location.

15. Buy GoPro cameras in bulk, put them on every cop in America.

I am so fed up with this bullshit. My sister actually called off a marriage to a New Hampshire cop -- two weeks before the wedding -- after finding out he had used the police computers to run background checks on the entire family. He also slept with his loaded service revolver on his nightstand and would get up every night and "check the perimeter." Fucking psycho. And likely gay (don't start, let me explain). I don't care if he is/was gay. That's totally cool. Except for that he was almost a comedy-sketch stereotype. He spent hours obsessing on his hair and his uniform...then would go kick anyone's ass who got in his way. Obviously compensating for something else. I won't even get into my own recent encounter with similar cops. They will bring themselves down. We can only hope. Our lawmakers certainly don't seem to care about reigning them in.

13. Dash cams & badge cams for all police.

A study showed it improved the behavior of both the cops & the people they pull over.

There was also an interesting article on the effect that dressing police in all black has had on people's perceptions & response to police. Very noticeable compared to the traditional navy trousers with light blue shirt. I'll see if I can find it.

on edit:

The studies cited found that black uniforms elicit emotions of anger, hostility, dominance, and aggression:

Applying the results of these studies in color to the police uniform suggests that darker police uniforms may send negative subconscious signals to citizens. A dark police uniform may subconsciously encourage citizens to perceive officers as aggressive, evil, or corrupt and send a negative message to the community.

Even more interesting are further findings that suggest both police officers and citizens are more likely to engage each other violently when the authorities come dressed in black:

The experiment with the colored jerseys also suggests that police officers in dark uniforms subconsciously may act more aggressively; therefore, departments should consider modifying police uniform colors.

The police uniform also may influence the safety level of the officer who wears it. Dark colored uniforms may elicit subconscious negative feelings from citizens, who may perceive the officer as aggressive, and subsequently, encourage them to consider violent action when confronted by the police.

Research has also shown that police uniforms with a lighter half have been ranked by citizens as "good, honest, helpful, and competent, the lighter colored sheriff's uniform rated noticeably higher for warmth and friendliness".

5. if there were witnesses, pure bullshit.

7. He added "unless it I want to claim other people are guilty"

Bet your ass a 1 second video of someone stealing from the police would be all he needs to pass judgement.

6. D'oh!

When will they learn. Camera phones are doing more to change the inequities in society than guns or social programs.

8. Police routinely rob citizens.

This is particularly outrageous.

10. A great way to expose corruption

would be to report a certain sum of money missing to your local police.

Say you think you dropped it in so-and-so an area while walking home.

Before reporting the money missing to police, you and your accomplices place the money in the area you will report to the police you think you lost it.

Make sure it's relatively easy to find, that you have filmed the money being deliberately placed there and that you have the serial numbers of all the bills. When reporting the missing money, pretend you don't know the serial numbers.

Place a hidden film crew on the cash the whole time and wait for the police officer who comes to investigate. Make sure also you have placed the money in a relatively low trafficked place so the officer will think there is no witnesses.

Wait for the officer to come across the money.

If he/she returns the money to you, you know he/she is an honest officer.

If he/she doesn't, check back with him/her a few days later inquiring if he/her or anyone had found anything.

If he/she says no, you have the video evidence proving the officer is a liar.

Have your accomplices post the video on YouTube anonymously. Then go to the press.

11. Years ago I had a Korean girlfriend who had a large amount of money stolen from her home

Her mother had died when she was a baby. She was raised by her father who kept a great amount of cash in the home. Her father developed cancer and died at home when she was only 12 years old and alone in the house. She called the paramedics when he fell unconscious in the bedroom and died. She knows that the money, maybe $50,000 was still hidden in the home just before her father died. The money was no longer there right after the paramedics came into the house to try to revive her father. In southern California, it is known that many in the Asian community shun banks and keep a lot of cash around. Police and paramedics know this and supposedly it is not uncommon for money to go missing after they come into the house and get the chance to go through it.
