The police have investigated the police, and found no evidence of wrongdoing.

It's great. We could very likely post this every month or so and it'll be perfectly accurate and pertinent.

[Frumple]

More like every week or two, but I guess slow months happen occasionally. I'd be nice if they happened more.

[Strife26]

You mean that golden time when NYPD did a work slowdown and the city measurably improved?

[IronyOwl]

The version I heard with that was that the beat cops weren't happy about doing their jobs anyway, while their bosses kept pushing for it. I never got an explanation for why they stopped stopping or why the higher ups wanted them to stop stopping.

"If there's nothing for us to do they'll start laying us off you imbeciles" sounds like a plausible answer, though. Or maybe "they won't hire more of us in the future," I'm not even sure if cops can be laid off.

Alternatively, old people who don't need none a' these newfangled facts, and are hence making things worse because they're ghostly echoes of once-living people.

So the reports state that they acted reasonably in every instance.

My question is, WHO THE FUCK BRINGS AN ATTACK DOG TO HELP A SUICIDAL KID OUT!?!?!?!

[Strife26]

Hey, sociopath cops need to get their bites. Didn't you read the texts?

[Egan_BW]

Huh? Don't animals help with depression?

[Strife26]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that there's some studies that show that.

Edit:

And for the rate that the government pays expert witnesses to protect cops, I will totally say that in a court of law while I'm under oath.

Fluffy Puppy: Cheer victim up, forget about not liking being alive
Slavering Warg: Terrify victim, remind them they want to live after all

It's win-win, really.

I noticed how the mother specifically mentioned there were no weapons of any kind in or near the house or garage, and that the kid wasn't drunk or on drugs, and that the suicide was attempted with a noose to the dispatcher.

IE: She was doing her best to make sure that thirty guys with M16s didnt kick down the door and mistake a handheld vibrator for an AK-74. And her kid still got savaged repeatedly by an attack-dog.

Your loved one is trying to commit suicide or is being stupidly harmful to themself? 
Who you gonna call?  Definitely not the cops.  Get good friends/neighbors instead.

Yeah, major problem here is this often happens to people who are calling for an ambulance or just 911 for general help, and it just so happens that police arrive on the scene before anyone else.  This happened to a friend of mine who was prescribed the wrong psychiatric medication and had a minor breakdown.  He wasn't even acting like a danger to anyone.  Just behaving strangely.  His girlfriend was concerned and called for an ambulance, because she didn't know what the medication might have been doing to him.  Police arrived first and immediately tackled him.  Heavy bruising on his back where they dug a knee into his spine, and permanent nerve damage in his wrist from reckless cuffing.

So my co-workers daughter was arrested the other day.  One of her friends got her caught with a bottle of unprescribed vicodin in her vehicle and didn't confess to the officer.  This isn't why she was arrested.  She was arrested for failing to show up to a court date.  When my co-worker goes to pay her bail, she's giving over all the information to verify her daughter's identity to the desk worker.  This includes verifying her address.  After repeating the address, the clerk goes "Oh... oops!" and immediately produces from right there in their desk the envelope with court order that was never received, with the wrong mailing address and a Return to Sender stamp on it.

After admitting that she was wrongfully arrested and re-scheduling the court date, she still has to pay for bail and it still takes another day to get her released.  Two days in jail.

Meanwhile, the very same night in the very same county, the county sheriff's son (also an officer) is arrested for dealing cocaine.... and was able to get released on bail within a few hours.
