As a counter to all the bad raps cops have been getting lately . . . how about this cop?

[Stinky The Clown]

A deer is dazed and standing in the middle of the road. The cop and another car are stopped. Watch the cop and watch this to the end.

Yeah, there are some bad cops. For sure. I have always contended, however, that bad cops are the exception, not the rule. I hope this helps restore some balance to the recent press cops have been getting.

And no. I have NO defense of that raging, roided up captain in NYC.

1. Good for him

2. There are plenty of great police officers, they just don't get any attention, sadly.

But they should.

37. I'm so happy the public is finally pushing back on an out of control American police force.

I hope they bitch and whine more loudly and more publicly. It's about bloody time. They are doing us a favor.

[sabrina 1]

40. No, it's because when crimes are committed, which they are on

a far too regular basis by people employed to DEFEND and PROTECT the public, it is a serious problem that in fact, doesn't get enough attention, otherwise it would not be so pervasive.

[The Straight Story]

45. well - there are plenty of good drivers, but the bad ones get the attention and the ticket (nt)

[rpannier]

51. That is true

Good point

[stillwaiting]

48. That police officer, when and if ordered, would be part of the police force that tears down

protestors' tents and camps.

There will come a time, if this continues, that police officers such as the one who appears here will have a choice to make. The longer the police forces of our country continues to do what they have been doing, the more disgraceful it becomes to be one.

If the "good" cops have any say so whatsoever they better exercise that influence from the inside.

Unfortunately, I don't believe they have such influence when the shots are being called from the top.

So, they comply with the orders given or they quit. It's the system, and I will not be able to excuse the "good cops" for too much longer.

3. If he was ordered

If he was ordered to evict someone or to riot control, he'd do it. He is owned by the corporations like the rest of the country is.

Please enlighten the world with your powers of seeing the future

8. childish comments get old

i could use a few Powerball wins

[Fumesucker]

18. Evictions and riot control are not part of the job of the police?

I'm continually amazed at what I learn on DU.

[rpannier]

32. The claim was that if ordered to evict he'd do it

I'd like the poster to provide evidence of his omniscience

41. We know that over 700 police officers were 'deployed' to

attack a small number of peaceful protesters in Oakland, and not one of them refused to take part in that action against the people they are supposed to protect. We also know that not one of them has identified the criminals who nearly killed a US Veteran simply trying to walk home who was beaten by a bunch of cowardly thugs who ruptured his spleen then denied him medical help for 18 hours, or their cohorts in the prison did.

If there are good cops on that force, where are they? Not to mention that criminal who stole, literally, the speech of Iraq/Afghanistan veteran Scott Olsen and is now too cowardly to identify himself.

That doesn't include, on that same night, the moron who rammed his car into a crowd of people, putting two of them in the hospital and then allowed to go free by the cops. Or the dozens of others badly wounded who were not identified.

And that was just one night of police riots against the American people, 700 of them, with not one so far speaking out against that despicable display of violence against the American people who were exercising their Constitutional rights.

I agree with EFerrari above, it's about time this issue is addressed and some reform put in place, because clearly many of these public employees whose salaries WE pay, need to go, and expecially their leaders. We need to establish a police force that serves the people, NOT the corporations and we do not need a military force on the streets of the US acting like they are on enemy territory.

If they want to be respected, the better start acting like decent, professional human beings, rather than like the thugs we've been seeing over the past several weeks.

[backscatter712]

43. That's why I argue there's virtually no such thing as a good cop.

If there are good cops on that force, where are they? Not to mention that criminal who stole, literally, the speech of Iraq/Afghanistan veteran Scott Olsen and is now too cowardly to identify himself.

Nobody dares break the Blue Code of Omerta.

So in my book, cops get classified either as openly vicious thugs who commit the crimes of unlawful violence, or as cowardly quislings who turn the other way instead of doing the right thing.

Both groups get my contempt. In fact the second group I find particularly loathsome for the same reason people are repulsed by Joe Paterno - he turned the other way too.

[Brickbat]

4. The way I feel about deer, this doesn't exactly give me warm feelings.

;)

[Supply Side Jesus]

5. that was sweet

I wonder why that deer was so dazed.... was it bumped by a car?

I'm so proud of that Deputy

[Historic NY]

30. I had a doe whacked by a truck & fawn survived....

it took sometime for the fawn to come back to the world. It appears this one lost it spots.... little bums are heavy (because they are dead weight)...rubbing them, blankets and just reassuring them brings them around..

Now if I can only get rid of the twin 6 point bucks that won't leave me along....they cause some mischief the other morning in my yard. They will walk right up to me.

[Lionessa]

10. I'm tired of people trying to convince me that cops that are nice to animals are

somehow good cops. It has nothing to do with how he behaves around people.

Nice try, epic fail.

[and-justice-for-all]

13. The way one treats animals is a good indicator of how

one treats people (which are also animals)

[Lionessa]

17. Not in my experience it isn't. Please elaborate on these indicators.

I agree that those cruel to animals have been proven to generally be cruel to humans, but the inverse is simply not true.

[and-justice-for-all]

23. "I agree that those cruel to animals have been proven to generally be cruel to humans"

It seems you agreed and disagreed??

I would also say that the inverse is also correct, those cruel to people will in turn be cruel to animals. It works both ways.

[Lionessa]

34. The inverse, those kind to animals being kind to humans is false.

The inverse of cruel is kind.

31. Hitler was nice to his dog.

14. My next door neighbor, a raging asshole to humans, is extremely kind to animals.

11. My partner is an outstanding cop...

and do are the others we are affiliated with.

[lonestarnot]

15. All cops are not bad. That is just stupid.

[flvegan]

16. "roided up"?? A positive test?

And yes, there are some bad cops. But there are many, many, many good ones.

There are also bad doctors, lawyers...politicians...whoops!

20. Really sad --- the overwhelming damage police have done in serving elites....

is one of the greatest impediments to freedom!

Can't imagine that you could see anything of the brutality of police and

make a post like this -- !!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

26. Ohhh the outrage!

Damn him and that deer!!! Damn them all to hell!!! Ohhhh!

[defendandprotect]

28. You think the "deer story" somehow makes up for the police brutality we've seen across the nation...

over the last 50 years and more?

Maybe you're buying alibis on police brutality -- I'm not -- !!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

29. All cops are evil

Just like all men.

We get it.

[defendandprotect]

35. This looks pretty evil ---

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2310938

You can try to keep pushing the alibis, but I don't see anyone getting over the

shock of all of this any time soon.


:puke:

[backscatter712]

22. Not enough.

Not to compensate for the countless people abused.

Fuck him.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

24. LOL

This is the sort of logic I come to DU for.

I'm sure this dude opened fire on a schoolbus right after helping the deer. You're right, fuck him.

[petronius]

25. Cool! And I always thought "deer in the headlights" was just a figure of speech...

:rofl:

[Raven]

50. Not at all. Deer will freeze in headlights. That's how some people

poach them.

[No Joe]

27. Thank you for posting this

My brother's a cop. A good one.

[zalinda]

36. What's ironic, is that cops were being looked upon

with respect again. After the 60's, cops just were not trusted, and it has been a long road back to trust. Now, again the trust is broken. The videos I've seen of these cops, make me ill. The fact that a noble profession has now spiraled down into 'pig' territory again, is just plain sad. I understand about doing your job, but you could be kind about it. These cops are raging assholes, and the rest of the blue line is allowing them to tarnish their good name.

Too, too sad.

[JoeyT]

38. And if he should happen to see one of his fellows breaking the law,

what do you reckon the odds of him upholding that law are? If one of his peers should abuse someone for the sheer hell of it, what are the odds he'll testify against them?

The good cops could drum out the bad cops if they were the majority. Since they don't they're either not the majority or they aren't actually good.
