I am also happy at the positive changes. I hope the culture changes as well; that will be harder.

Also, I can kind of see where that sifter might have been coming from, maybe, because I first assumed the patrol car cameras (and especially the body cams) were under the control of the officers. Once I learned it's mostly not under their control, and seeing case after case of their positive affect on officer behavior, I changed my mind pretty quick.

I used to be more of a pessimist about a lot of these things, but I've seen some sweeping changes in society over the last 10 years that have really changed me around.

Clearly, from the article, not a single one, anywhere in the department, from top to bottom, "outed" this murderer, and instead they covered it up, destroyed evidence, fabricated a story and repeated the line 'he was unfortunately killed by a single gunshot to the chest' all the way up. Not one 'good cop' to be found. As I see it, anyone in the department who's hands touched this are co-conspirators after the fact, and need to be charged themselves to the fullest extent of the law. It's only because of complicity of others that cops think, correctly, that they can get away with murdering citizens and claiming self defense. That makes them as much of the problem as the murderers.
Prosecute them all...right up to and including the chief...since they all knew the self defense, single shot story was BS (they had this video) but they continued to shield him by repeating it publicly and in official legal documents.

EDIT: It should be noted that without a complaining witness coming forward, (one that was forcibly removed from the scene and NEVER interviewed, just like every other civilian witness) and without the lucky happenstance that they didn't erase the dash cam footage like they did to other footage, for example the security camera footage from nearby restaurants, there would NEVER be charges for this 'officer', since his entire force covered up the crime.

I think you gave the easy answer...call her parents. I bet you anything that if mama got on the phone and told her to leave class, she would do it right away. That makes way more sense than calling officer slam (his nickname at the school) to re-escalate a situation that had already calmed down.

Actually, she was not being arrested. She was only being removed, at first. At least that's what's been reported. That means that, at least at first, she was not 'resisting arrest', only 'resisting removal'.

I do agree, force is a FINAL resort, rightfully in the hands of police. My issue is it's often used as a PRIMARY resort (meaning it's often the first thing tried). There were MANY options available to the cop besides violence against a child, he didn't try anything once his command was ignored except unnecessary violence. For instance, he could have, with less force and no injury to anyone, dragged the girl and her desk out of the room and waited her out in the hallway, but instead he chose to react with severe violence to being 'disrespected' by a child.

Saying she 'brought it on herself', to me, is the same as saying abused women 'bring it on themselves' by not capitulating fast enough to their abusive spouses, and abused children 'bring it on themselves' by not being perfect at all times.
Even if you want to call what she did 'resisting arrest' (which I think I've already debunked, but may still be questioned), the force used was SO out of proportion and unnecessary that this officer has already been banned from all schools in the state, and will likely lose his job and money in the end. If her fellow students had not risked the same treatment by pulling out their phones and recording his actions, we would never have heard about this, and the poor girl would have a record for assaulting a police officer instead of an FBI investigation against the officer. That sounds like one more instance where always on-body cams might have defused the situation, because KNOWING he was on camera, I bet he would not have acted so rashly against a calm, non violent child.

EDIT: He's now been fired.

His body cam "fell off" before the illegal taze. But I guess if you're a cop anything is legal.

First of all, who would sit there for 3 hours and watch that?! How do you even know who is winning?

Second, someone needs to hang a cable cam, or fly a drone (can't believe I just suggested that) right over the X. I would love to see a top down view of those passes.

I highly doubt your car can be impounded for driving with an expired registration , even in PA. That is very nearly the least significant traffic violation there is. Of course, the police lie about that sort of thing all the time, which is probably the case here.

Even though people hate them, this is actually one of the reasons I'm all for automated traffic policing devices such as speed cams, stoplight cams and even more advanced devices as technology allows (with proper care for privacy in data collection). In the US, for instance, everybody knows you can generally drive up to 9 miles an hour over the speed limit without worry. This should not be the case. The police let this happen because if everybody is always technically speeding because that's just what's done, they can justifiably pull over and hassle whoever whenever they want to (read: minorities).

Cam down right in the parking lot, it looked like. Very sad.

This is the most insane footage ive seen so far http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0e5_1439474009

One more incident of cops being unbelievable douchebags, and other cops allowing them to get away with it. Sickening how often this kind of thing is caught on tape, meaning it happens 10 times more often than we see at least.
Glad he's on leave at least, but a paid vacation does not really seem the appropriate outcome, here's hoping he's fired after the 'investigation', but I doubt it.
Good thing his angry threat to 'confiscate the video' was more hot air.
Crappy that even the reasonable officer tells him clearly "the longer you stay here, the more trouble you're going to get into", implying 'because the detective will make more trouble for you, he's lost it', and doesn't tell the detective that jumping out of your unmarked car and threatening to shoot someone in the head and beat them to a pulp is out of order.
If this was an 'open carry' guy who 'stood his ground', he could have shot that cop with no (legal) consequence.
Damn it, I'm going to have to get a dash cam just to protect myself from outrageous 'authority figures' now.

I nearly posted this and the Suicide Squad right after they leaked hours after the panels, figured I'd replace the embed with the real trailer once it released... but decided to wait for official releases... and they still haven't released the Deadpool one, and WB released the Suicide Squad one reluctantly figuring it was the best way to fight the crappy phone cam versions out there and having to waste time with C&D letters. I don't get it, like WB released the Superman V Batman trailer soon after the Superman panel, so why didn't they follow suit with the Suicide Squad one? Same here, why not release the official version right after the panel? Disney didn't waste too much time with the Star Wars stuff.

Of course perhaps that's part of the marketing of Deadpool. The movie likely got greenlit because of the original Deadpool Test Footage which was "leaked". Who knows, perhaps the leak was Fox or the production company testing to see interest, and now with the trailer continue to leave it in phone cam form for viral efforts as people search Deadpool movie hoping to find a better trailer.

Followup: Officer Mark Magness was fired. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3145273/Colorado-police-officer-fired-colleague-s-body-cam-records-beating-taunting-suspect-holding-cell.html
