Reporter’s footage shows zero interference during the arrest, just an empty SUV left in moving traffic by agents trying to dodge accountability.

    Why does this landscape (correct) video have useless bars above and below to make it portrait (wrong)?

        If it was just the original landscape video then the youngsters could turn their phones sideways and see it the way it was meant to be displayed. As it is, nobody can see the video in full screen, regardless of screen orientation.

          They could, but wouldn’t. Thus everything being made deliberately wrong.

          As it is, nobody can see the video in full screen, regardless of screen orientation.

      I never understood this trend either man, the answer seems to be internet trends and addictive short form video scrolling.

      Rotating your phone makes you question if you actually want to stay glued to the screen.

      I’m sure in some place that funds actual science, there will be studies on this and the terrible physiological effects.

    Wearing cameras doesn’t mean they’ll turn them on.

      Nor does it mean they will release any recordings they do have.

      ICE will release body camera video only when in the agency’s ‘best interests’: policy

    It’s highly infuriating that police forces are allowed to lie with impunity, and have absolutely no consequences when they get caught

    I misread the title as saying “alligators” rather than “agitators” and went into this video very confused.

    It’s pretty clear the reporter and the cameraman were the “agitators” in the DHS report.

    The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.

    99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it’s not on this page.

    When cops are caught breaking the law, they’re investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers’ names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.

    When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with ‘law enforcement experience’ and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It’s called “Wandering Cops.”

    When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: “testilying.” Yet it’s almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.

    Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don’t, they aren’t cops for long.

    The legal doctrine of “qualified immunity” renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past ‘qualified immunity’ is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.

    All this is a path to a police state.

    In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.

    Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.

    That’s the solution.

Our definition of ‘cops’ is broad, and includes prison guards, probation officers, shitty DAs and judges, etc — anyone who has the authority to fuck over people’s lives, with minimal or no oversight.

RULES

① Real-life decorum is expected. Please don’t say things only a child or a jackass would say in person.

② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.

③ Saying cops ANYONE should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not.

④ Please don’t dox or post calls for harassment, vigilantism, tar & feather attacks, etc.

Please also abide by the instance rules.

It you’ve been banned but don’t know why, check the moderator’s log. If you feel you didn’t deserve it, hey, I’m new at this and maybe you’re right. Send a cordial PM, for a second chance.
