Female Police Officer Caught On Dash Cam Lying As She Harasses & Arrests Elderly Man

[Orly]

naw man. If you are driving in heavy traffic going 50 mph and cars are right on your ass, you can just hit on the lights, slam on your breaks, and make that turn thats 100 feet up. Surely nothing negative could come of that.

Post where I specifically said you need to hit the breaks immediately after hitting the lights, or kindly stfu.

Also, there are laws forbidding you to tailgate. Does america lack common sense in that as well??

'Mericans.

Cops.

Fix't.

[Orly]

Lights on doesn't mean you can just dis-reguard everything around you and do as you please. Sometimes the situation demands a more immediate approach, sometimes around the block is a better idea. Point is you are speculating about a situation with very little information...filling in the blanks with your own assumptions. We don't know the exact situation

No, lights on means everyone else MUST clear the road as much as they can, which in turn allows you freedom of movement. And another thing: a quick look at that video will show you there was not much traffic.

American Cops.

Fixed.

Its like the police have forgotten or just done give a fuck about all the bad press that they've been getting lately.

Never said you need to. Was just listing an example of when you couldnt just hit the lights and stop at the corner and may have to circle the block. Assuming you are traveling at 50 mph, and you are about 20 feet from the corner, you would have to hit the breaks. If cars were behind you that wouldnt be possible, and hitting the lights wouldnt work. No need to be so defensive, friend. Just saying things arent always so clear as they seem.

Fair enough then. I too said the example with the lights as a possible alternative and not the best decision out of that scenario. I was not there, I cannot say which decision would've been the best.

And I'm not being defensive, I just hate sarcasm

'murica!

I'm shocked he wasn't shot.

[Hooked]

If a police officer asks you to put down a golf club, you don't argue. Just do what they say and make your case after complying. I carry a baseball bat in my truck, but I also carry a mitt and a ball.

[Ealyssa]

On the bright side, she managed not to shoot him.

That's what I told myself too. Was pretty sure the video would end with at least some taser action.

Racist and no balls (no pun). What a great officer...

[petej0]

Yeah, because either a) there are too many cops than need be or b)they choose to do this sort of stuff in favor of more important things.


"Did you hear there was a shootout at the nearby 7-11? Why did the cops arrive only 30min later?
Ah, too busy arresting a 69yo with a golf club."

I am not going to argue with you about the over policing in the U.S. If you are suggesting they just choose to harras a guy over answering an armed robbery call, then you are an idiot. Sorry, but you have to be to think that.

Why are you leaving stupidity out of the equation?

Stupidty? She claims the dash cam is recording yet she will go ahead and just fuck with the guy and make up lies? If she is going to lie to make an arrest why not claim she hit her? Then it is assault!

Which I'm free to not obey if I know I did nothing wrong and therefore cannot be a legit suspect to anything. Kinda like that guy did.

You are not free to disobey a cop. This is why they have obstruction charges. You may know you did nothing wrong. The cop doesnt which is why they must stop you and find out if you are the right person they are looking for. Really...I am at a loss of words. How could you have this type of thinking?

[lockedout]

Honestly, she must have been bored..You can use plenty of other things as a weapon if you wanted to. SMH

Here is the video:

This doesn't really give a better image of the police... damn it's going in the wroong direction, and fast.

She also made a racist tweet.

[Gatsbybutters]

Why is it so significant that the officer is female that it needed to be in the thread title?

Also, I can't watch the vid right now, so what lies did she tell? Making a man stop using his cane seems a bit over the top, but there's nothing in the text to support the idea that she was lying.

I really like how you dont even try to learn the facts and go right into white knight mode. /fedora tip

OT, "Call somebody" is my new catch phrase.

[Incredibale]

Get it off me

get it off me aaaa

[Ave07]

Murican officers strike again. Apparently just anyone can join the police force over there. Here in Belgium before you enter the police you have to take several tests including one with a lie detector to show that you won't be biased/racist or judgemental. Just pathetic america, really pathetic.

Belgium isn't perfect either.

Hopefully she gets fired for gross incompetence and power tripping.

[chrisberb]

This is beyond disgusting. Is there any followup on what has happened? I feel strongly she needs to not only be fired but to be charged with a hate crime.

Here's more info:

They actually fucking forced this guy to plead guilty to a crime. I'm so irate at both the police officer and the prosecutor right now. This is beyond absurd.

#JusticeForWingate

Not sure if it's been pointed out, but the very next paragraph:

No recordings surfaced to bolster Whitlach's version of events, and after a state lawmaker questioned the arrest, the city attorney's office took another look. Prosecutors dismissed the conviction, and the police department apologized for the arrest and returned his golf club. The department said this week the officer had "received counseling" from her supervisor -- which O'Toole initially deemed an appropriate resolution.

[Daws]

At this point surely you have to question if the entrance exams for American police has perhaps set the bar a bit to low.

[CrittenMitten]

lol what the fuck?
