        Sort of an important aspect of doing patrol. I wanna know why they didn’t get a warrant for a blood draw. That’s the typical response to refusing a breath test.

          Because the FOP was the first entity to know he DUI’ed over a toddler. They could then control what happened to the cop

            This is the answer. And it’s why the system is producing radicals.

      They don’t Isuzu beat you anymore, but lots of states have a law that part of having a driver’s license is consent to a breath test, so if you refuse they revoke your license.

      Either have to be rich or a bootlicker. Presumably some people can be both.

      What, like 99.99% of DUI arrests?

      It’s not 1960, dude.

    An (ex) friend of mine refused a breathalyzer when a county sheriff found him sleeping behind the wheel in a parking lot after a day of drinking. Because he refused the test the county revoked his license.

    Meanwhile this cop hits a child and nothing happens.

    Note to self: if I’m going to commit a crime make sure I’m a cop first.

      Make sure you’re a cop and do it with a car. You’ll probably have a greater chance of receiving compensation for the ‘trauma’ you suffered than face any criminal consequences.

        Or use a gun. Or throw a flash bang into a crib. Or start a fire with a flash bang. So many ways to get away with murder when you’re a cop.

        Actually…literally almost every way. Choking, beating, shooting, running over, blowing up…cops are fuckin murderers. Fuck the fucking police.

          You’ll probably/almost certainly get off if you use those methods but, you might have to face paid leave or desk duty first. With a car you can get right back to shooting dogs the very next day.

      It’s great because when they call the cops you just say “already at the scene, boys; nothing to see here – all good ‘n’ dandy, Sandy”

      If you go to anti union propaganda sites you get the most tame accusations you’ve ever heard. Embezzlement! Using your dues for leftist causes! Holy shit!

      And then there’s “police union” where you consistently get “cop gets bored; kills family of 5. City ordered to lick his taint and pay $5,000,000 after trying to fire him.”

    You see, when you are cop and you aren’t outraged and calling for this fucker to be fired, it means you too are part of the problem.

    That’s why people hate cops. It’s not that all of you are assholes, but you seem way too comfortable working along side massive pieces of shit.

      The justice system is all kinds of fucked up, so even well-intentioned cops are screwing over innocent folk on a regular basis. They might not see it, but we do, and it does make them assholes. Friendly smiling assholes.

    Fuck you, Suffolk county. You and your people suck worse than Nassau, and that’s fucking saying something.

    Don’t come to the city with your shitty driving and low quality people.

          North side of the island is friendlier and the Hamptons are friendly. South side is pretty crazy. Like giant Trump flags and huge paper mache maga hats on giant trucks crazy.

    Me, a progressive: “No more cops”

    Lemmy users: “Villain! We need moderate change to the existing system! Not a new one! Who would protect us from the marauding gangs of evildoers in my backyard?”

    Me, a progressive: “Don’t you think–”

    Lemmy users: “FUCK YOU FA&&&&&”
