kulpimssays...wait, let's make him really suffer - make him drive around in that small cart all day
17 year veteran of the force? i wonder how many videos he starred in...
MarineGunrocksays...I downvoted the other video because I'm sick of everyone having this "fuck the police" attitude. That's just stupid and ignorant. Don't say "fuck the police." Say "fuck the abusive, power tripping police."
Like the description says on my "Not all cops are bad, ya know!" playlist, the internet is full of videos that show cops being bad - either abusing their powers or using too much force. But people don't seem to realize that not all cops are bad. It's just usually the ones that make it to the internet that are.
After all, how interesting of a video is it when a cop simply does his job in a respectful and professional manner?
People with a "fuck the police" attitude are morons as far as I can see. A police force is vital to keeping peace and order in any society. If there were no police, what's to keep someone from robbing your house at will, or robbing a bank with no fear consequence?
10205says...Suspended...
Suspend this cunt from a bridge by his pig scum neck.
Crosswordssays...I think the biggest problem with law enforcement is salary. The job involves dealing with some of the least desirable people in society and often times doesn't pay much. An educated professional most likely isn't going to take a job where they get paid crap, and have to do a depressing and often dangerous job. So often the only people a police department can get aren't professional, and aren't educated.
I'm also annoyed by the "fuck the police" attitude a lot of people seem to have. It's one thing to be angered by abuses by law enforcement and vocally call for reforms to end such things its another to express hate for all police everywhere. Its puerile, and I think shows an attitude similar to that displayed by abusive police. I'm sure officer Rivieri thinks all skaters are degenerate little punks. I'm sure some of them are, but I'm also sure some of them are great kids who enjoy skating. Bottom line is its not right for anyone to act like that.
budzossays...Marine, you voted against my post on this topic. Vote whore, lol.
I don't say fuck the police. I'm for law and order. That being said, the cops have caused me a lot of undue heartache in my lifetime, and to this point a cop showing up has never been a good thing, and usually just meant somebody was probably gonna get in trouble for some moralistic bullshit. I know it's not the cop's fault, but you are the asshole showing up to ruin the party nonetheless.
rottenseedsays...a lot of times, people that seek that power trip are enticed by a career in law-enforcement. Due to this, you get a lot of douche bags rollin' up with their mightier-than-thou attitudes lookin' for a fight to start so that they can throw their weight around. These are the same type of people that pursue jobs as bouncers. They get a rush from being the ultimate Papa Legba...the decider, the one who has control even if it isn't given to him, he has the last say in whether or not somebody is happy.
I know this because I have a cousin who is "that guy".
9058says...Unfortunately Crosswords thats how our society works. The most important jobs are paid the least while the jobs that really dont mean shit in the end are paid the most. So law enforcement, military, teachers, firemen, and so on are shit out of luck. Its not like the safety and education of future generations means anything right. While rappers, athletes, and celebrities are payed shit tons of money cause in this country all we care about is entertainment. (not trying to single out rap as terrible just using it as an example of big business, and athletics is important but its not the be all end of of human existence) Reminds me of the scene from Gladiator where he says "are you not entertained" while slaughtering people.

10148says...When one cop breaks his fiduciary duty he fucks it up for anyone who saw them fuck up. The fact is cops owe this duty to their citizens, and lately they think they work for some corporation and not the public they serve. Thats why people say fuck the police, because they are not accountable. Internal Affairs for cops is a joke, its just a bunch of police buddies supporting each other. As shown by this video, he shouldve been charged with assault the day this video was released. Just like they would any other citizen.

I know, and its very sad. Of course if we spent to money on things that cause problems in our society rather than entertainment, then we wouldn't need to be constantly entertained to distract us from all the wrong that goes on in the world. While I suppose it is ultimately fruitless to complain,get upset, or rant about such things, the way I see it is my only other alternatives are to join in and contribute/support what I see are problems in society, or be apathetic to them. Neither is an alluring position to me, so I'd rather bash my head against a wall hoping to make a crack than become part of the wall or remain silent.
dgandhisays...Fuck the Police.
The police often do more harm then good. All the high speed chase and vice squad crap where cop break the law to "stop crime" is more dangerous then useful.
Peace and order are not a result of policing, they are a result of basic human decency. Sometimes police will step in to stop some anti-social behavior, and sometimes they will commit it. I have seen the latter (in real life) more then the former, except in Canada where the proportion was reversed. The mounties still abuse their power as a matter of practice(they even pulled a gun on me), but they are more polite about it.
If we could make the cops an unprivileged class who are held to the highest ideal of the law, and not given special privilege and effective immunity from criminal prosecution, then I will change my tune. Until then Fuck the Police AS A CLASS.

I'd like you to cite ANYTHING that says police often do more harm than good. I'll say it again: You don't hear about a cop doing his job properly because it's not riveting news/entertaining. You hear about him assaulting someone because it IS news/entertaining.
You mean to tell me that people everywhere would obey traffic signs and speed limits if there was no chance of them getting a speeding ticket - just out of their good nature? I don't think so. Most people don't follow them anyway.
Who would you call when someone decided to rob your house or they smashed your car and drove off, because there were no police to show up and issue them a ticket?
You say "Fuck the police" now, but I guarantee you that your attitude would be radically different were you to ever need them.

I already sited my personal experience, not media reports or vids on the net. I have seen cops do some good, and I have seen them, with my own eyes, do lots of fucked up shit.
You mean to tell me that people everywhere would obey traffic signs and speed limits if there was no chance of them getting a speeding ticket - just out of their good nature?
I do, I fail to see the absurdity of being responsible. I can not tell you how many times I have had people ask me "you're an anarchist, why are you driving the speed limit?". The answer is simple I have not externalized my responsibility to some state-sanctioned father figure. I am able to deduce, with out much assistance, that driving a ton off steel down a tarmac byway at more then 10mph is fucking dangerous, and since everybody knows the posted rules, it's safest to abide by them, since being predictable in a dangerous situation is safer then the alternative.
I don't think so. Most people don't follow them anyway.
I would argue that is a consequence of punishment based "morals", which is sad, but hardly an argument in favor of the practice.

You say "Fuck the police" now, but I guarantee you that your attitude would be radically different were you to ever need them.
I have had many things stolen, I have been assaulted a number of times (sometimes by cops) I can tell you that in none of the theoretical cases when cops are supposed to be of use have they been any better then an annoyance, and sometimes far worse. I have dealt with these thefts and assaults by myself, because their was nobody else who was going to do it, that will be true for probably about 98% of all victims of crime, because we don't have a cop stationed at every corner, and I'm glad for that fact.
I'm not saying that society has no place for people who professionally enforce the law, as long as those people obey the same law without exception. We don't have that in the US, and probably never will.
I am not moved by your appeal to fear, since your theoretical situations don't reflect my lived experience. The rationals for policing, or the use of violence to create peace in general, is an absurd fair story. I find it rather annoying that so many seem to believe something which is so absurd. I stand unconvinced of your position. As the system of policing now stands, fuck it, and by extension them, especially the schmuck in the vid, and anyone who enables him.

What a piece of shit this guy must be to have been stuck in that damn weenie mobile this long.
Crosswordssays..."I fail to see the absurdity of being responsible"
I think the absurdity is suggesting that all people will be responsible. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be taking a humanistic stance, in suggesting that people are basically good. Given the chance, free of outside influences such as government, religion, or other social forces, people will do what is good.
Personally I don't believe that is the case. Selfishness, impulsiveness, and irresponsibility are all very human traits, I also think the exact opposite of those things are as well. Some people are more driven to be socially responsible, and others more self serving. If there were no law enforcement, you'd have a lot of people trying to be responsible and you'd have a lot of people who would do whatever they pleased.
Speeding was mentioned, I too attempt to obey the speed limits, not because I'm afraid I'll get caught if I don't, but I understand doing so helps create a measure of safety for myself and the others I share the road with. I've known plenty of people who just don't care, they don't think they'll get caught, and they don't think they're causing a hazard to themselves or other and/or don't care that they are. They're only interested in getting where they're going faster. I've also known some of those irresponsible people who have stopped speeding. Not because they realize what a danger they've been, but because they've racked up hundreds of dollars in speeding tickets.
I guess I just don't buy that everything would be A-OK if there was no law enforcement. Actually I think it would be the exact opposite. As a matter of fact I'd say there are plenty of instances historical and current where there was a lack of law and atrocious things happened. Yes there are plenty of instances current and historical where there was law and atrocious things happened, but that's exactly my point. No matter what you can have bad things happen. Comparatively we're probably better off than a lot of countries, we also don't have it as good some countries. I think we should be striving to improve our law enforcement rather than calling for its removal.
All that said, I think it would be great if there was no need for law enforcement or even government, but I think that's an unrealistic ideal. There would have to be a huge 100% universal social paradigm shift, and that just isn't going to happen, not any time within the next several hundred or thousand years at least. If it happens it'll be a (mostly) slow progression.
Farhad2000says...A police uniform and a gun issued by law gives immense power to those who yield them. Power assigned by authority, as the Milgrem experiments show often result in the abuse of that power. This is no exception.
My belief is that the assignment of police power doesn't come with checks and balances, especially in light that law enforcement training and up keep are usually at the way bottom of spending priorities.
I believe that police should be trained how to approach citizens, suspects, diffuse situations and actually use their weapons effectively. There is a distinct lack of psychology when approaching suspects, that is all left to the police officer to learn or decide on later.
Yes there are many good cops and this makes them seem bad through generalization, especially since its rare that a good arrest or detainment is captured on film because it doesn't make for good TV or YouTube videos.
But ultimately its not the citizens responsibility to make cops look good, its the cops responsibility. They are here to protect and serve us, not the other way around.
Kreegathsays...Cops do more good than harm, atleast where I'm from.
Let's not kid ourselves and think there can be a working society without law enforcement, because people commiting crime usually don't do it on a whim but rather out of necessity. Also, there are in fact instances where the law is the only thing keeping certain elements in society from running rampant. I'm thinking mainly of organized crime, but there can of course be hundreds if not thousands of other examples.
In the end, anyone saying the police do more harm than good feels, to me, like they need to take a step back and actually look at what the police does do well instead of simply assuming the entire police force is bad because Joe Bully in wonderful suburbia confiscated their skateboards as kids.

That isn't a citation. That's you giving me a personal account. A citation is a study conducted over a widespread area over a period of time. I don't want some half-ass media report or a YouTube video - that won't show anything. Just because you've had more bad run-ins with cops than good doesn't mean the cops in your area are bad.

No one ever claimed that being responsible was absurd. Those are your words, not mine. But it's funny how you say we should follow the rules since they're already there. How on Earth does that coincide with being an anarchist?

I agree wholeheartedly with this. Of course it's ridiculous to generalise the issue, but like you say, this type of job is such that someone with control issues or insecurities would seek. I have thought for a long time that the police academy should do a psychological examination of a candidate to see if they are someone with a propensity towards "power trips". I think this would do a lot for the relationship of the public towards the police, which becuase of dickheads like this, is fast becoming a huge issue which needs to be resolved. Because we NEED the police at the end of the day, so trust is essential.

Okay let's turn it around, since you contend that giving armed thugs cart blanche in civilized society somehow increases civility how about you site some proof. It's pretty obvious that your request is absurd. What metrics are you going to use? Police Reports? Convictions? <sarcasm> that sounds unbiased </sarcasm>.
For all I know, you're a little punk that thinks he should be able to do whatever he wants without "the man" getting on your back and you yourself are incredibly disrespectful to them the instant they show up. You could aslo be a very upstanding citizen, but I just don't know.
If I don't "respect" cops and they act like thugs you seem to think that makes it my fault. If giving emotional twelve year olds guns and badges is your idea of maintaining order then that might make some sense, if they are supposed to be adults, it would make no difference how I feel about them.
say we should follow the rules since they're already there. How on Earth does that coincide with being an anarchist?
I did not say I was a reactionary, but an anarchist, I honor reasonably collective social agreements (laws) and disregard unreasonable ones. Most of the things people get ticketed for are reasonable.
No one ever said a well trained police force needs to be violent, and I am not making an appeal of fear.
Telling my that, if bad things happen, I will change my tune, is an appeal to fear. Bad things have happened, and it has only increased my certainly of my position. Your argument is as fallacious as the "no atheists in foxholes" argument, their are and have been, and pretending it can't happen is ignorant.
A police force without the right to arbitrarily threaten people with violence is not something I have a problem with, but that is not what we have, or what we are talking about.
I think maybe your perspectives would radically shift were you to ever live in a society not governed by anyone and policed by none.
We can keep going with you throwing out supposed tautological situations for believing in violent imposition of peace and order. I can keep showing you how these things have already happened to me and others, and your narrow "you have to believe" sentiment is absurd.
Your argument is a fallacy. Their are no situations which, by definition, will create adherence to a particular ideological position in everyone. I am not likely to change my tune unless you can provide a compelling argument. I certainly don't expect to change your position. I only want to make it clear that someone can say "fuck the police" without being a moron.
8115says...Personally, I haven't had any trouble with the police. If I've ever been stopped by an officer for a traffic violation, I have *mostly* been treated politely, and have even been cut a few breaks.
That being said, I know at least 15 people who have been abused by the police. The abuse ranges from harassment to assault to even falsifying evidence. A friend of mine was beaten to a pulp and had pepper spray rubbed in his eyes with someones thumbs simply because he refused to comply with an order to remove his pants.
Trying to generalize every cop is stupid, but it's also stupid to ignore the abuse of power which seems to happen in every police department across the country. Personally, I think it is reaching epidemic proportions. You have these poorly trained, uneducated, and completely immature personalities running around town, armed to the teeth, just completely ego tripping.
There is basically no oversight, because cop loyalty is almost like mafia loyalty; a kind of brotherhood where the righteousness of defending the law becomes a license to do whatever you want, as how could a defender of the law be wrong about anything? Of course they always have the best of intentions. The only time any action is taken is when something was caught on film like this video, and there is a public outcry.
You have the reports of widespread racism in the bigger cities, which is really one of the biggest reasons for the distrust blacks have for white culture. You have the continuing militarization of the police where no force is quite brute enough, and no civil liberties go unviolated. You have things like the drug war or even speeding tickets which are perpetuated in the name of money and money alone, where cops are highly motivated to ruin your life to secure another dollar for the department.
Clearly there are a lot of problems here. Almost everyone I know has either been abused by the police, or know someone that has, and these are decent and moral people I am referring to. I think that saying "Fuck the Police" is justifiable these days. Don't get me wrong, I know cops do a lot of good.. we just can't simply have this blind, pseudo-patriotism where because cops are the defenders of freedom that they should get a free pass for everything. Why? Because that is exactly the attitude which allows this corruption to go on in the first place.
Bottom line: No one should have that kind of power without strenuous oversight and complete accountability.

The police often do more harm then good.

I'll also cite the situation in Madagascar, as told to me by a missionary priest who spent about 15 years out there, who explained that crime rates were relatively low there. But at some point prison guards started letting inmates out to steal things, in exchange for a cut of the proceeds. Seriously - WTF?
Going back to the vid, well they (his supervisors) will see it now. What kind of FREAKISH car is that, anyway?

viewer_999says...I think maybe taking away the paid vacation might be in order.
Seriously, let's talk firing. The guy shouldn't be an officer of the law. Let him go find a job at McD's. You can clearly see he loves the fries.
Kreegathsays...What can I say other than that the scenario you picture isn't a reality of most of the developed world? In a police state-dictatorship, sure, but the police is accountable just like anyone else in the majority of the world.
If it's not too personal, may I ask where you're from so I can make sure never to go there and get abused by the corrupt law enforcement aswell?
toastsays...>The most important jobs are paid the least while the jobs that really dont mean shit in the end are paid the most. So law enforcement, military, teachers, firemen, and so on are shit out of luck. Its not like the safety and education of future generations means anything right. While rappers, athletes, and celebrities are payed shit tons of money cause in this country all we care about is entertainment.
Your idea of most important jobs funnily enough are largely government related. Do you not know by now that every governmental department is inefficient and very useless.
Why do you think entertainers are paid more? Because they are in a market where us as the consumers can choose what we spend our money on and how much these people get. There is nothing wrong with someone earning more than someone else. There is nothing wrong with businesses who earn money. The problem is when the corporations get into bed with the government and pull strings.
I mean it's subjective how much each person should be paid... If a teacher isn't very good I'd like to pay them less and if a cop is a moron like Rivieri, I'd also like to pay him less. At least it gives people incentive to be better at their jobs. At the moment, we are Zero say in how much we'd like to pay, which I believe is largely why there is this problem.
Imagine, if we must have government run law enforcement.
I would like to be the one to decide which police department I would like to give parts of my tax money to, or at least to withhold this month's money from particular departments. Current departments can be split into smaller more independent groups.
So in this case, I will withhold my money from the group that Rivieri comes from because I don't believe that they did the right thing by suspending with pay.
The cops who are good and know how to provide a good law enforcement service will get more money as they alienate themselves from the corrupt and poorly run groups.
If the police departments knew that what they did are held accountable by each and every one of us, they might treat us with a bit more fairness and respect, and vice versa.
It's very similar to how all other normal businesses work. You screw your customers, you will not survive. Provide a great service, you will get more respect, funding and higher salaries.
As for those who are saying OH! It's going to run riot if the government stopped providing law enforcement!!!
Just think for one moment. Of course people would still need law enforcement officers or at least security guards. If the government stopped providing the service, the public are no longer going to think that it's too expensive to get their own private security guards because they would get to keep more of the tax money. With a large demand of course the private market will fill the space in an INSTANT. And because it actually has an incentive to not treat their paying customers like crap.. guess what, customers are not going to be treated with respect and the officers will be much better at their jobs.
MarineGunrocksays...You mean to tell me that if I pay $250 a month on my local taxes, then I should be able to afford private security? Yeah, because taking that kind of power out of a professionally trained unit and giving it to a freelance security guard is a GREAT idea. As as for all governmental departments being useless? Well I just hope that your local fire department doesn't read this when your house is burning down.
10220says...Cops don't PREVENT crime. All they do is come over and fill out the paperwork to document that you were indeed robbed, assaulted, etc. Only in extreme cases (murders, rapes, etc) do they even attempt to actually solve crimes against individuals. And don't get me started on the scam that is "speeding"...
Think about this please; this guy Rivieri had a clean record for 17 years. Who among you believes these to be (two) isolated incidents? I don't. I bet he's been an asshole his whole life, and I bet there are plenty of other cops that have witnessed him being an asshole and behaving inappropriately. I bet those cops didn't do a damn thing to stop Rivieri or turn him in either.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CLEAN COP. Assuming that guys like Rivieri are the "few bad apples" (which I don't believe)...what percentage of cops do you think have "fixed" a ticket? Even if they did nothing else, they have now abused their position and society's trust. Okay, so how about the cops that haven't fixed a ticket...think they know someone that has? Think they turned that person in? If not, guess what, they're crooked too.
People say fuck the cops because cops have earned that reaction. They demand respect instead of earn it. It does take a particular type of person to be a cop, and generally that is a bully. I'm a middle-class professional white guy, but I've been on the receiving end of shit cops plenty and I'd rather take my chances with the criminals (I mean the criminals that don't have badges).
dystopianfuturetodaysays...I think we can all agree one thing: Fuck this particular police, preferably with some type of red hot poker, hopefully causing severe intestinal damage.
messengersays...This guy is an asshole just like any asshole you've come across in other jobs, like a clerk at the 7-11, your doctor, a professor, or whatever. When it's a cop, however, we know we have no recourse whatsoever against them (unless we actually capture it on video), so we're all scared to the bone. Things that scare us that much make for great entertainment. Cops being good is comforting, very comforting, but not entertaining. That said, I'm going to go now and poke through Marine's good cop/good cop playlist.

I downvoted the other video because I'm sick of everyone having this "fuck the police" attitude. That's just stupid and ignorant. Don't say "fuck the police." Say "fuck the abusive, power tripping police."
Like the description says on my "Not all cops are bad, ya know!" playlist, the internet is full of videos that show cops being bad - either abusing their powers or using too much force. But people don't seem to realize that not all cops are bad. It's just usually the ones that make it to the internet that are.
After all, how interesting of a video is it when a cop simply does his job in a respectful and professional manner?
People with a "fuck the police" attitude are morons as far as I can see. A police force is vital to keeping peace and order in any society. If there were no police, what's to keep someone from robbing your house at will, or robbing a bank with no fear consequence?
You've obviously never been robbed and then had the police show up and with a "oh great, we have to fill out a report now attitude" then tell you that they'll probably never catch the guy. The only thing keeping someone from robbing YOUR house at will is that they saw your neighbors tv and hit them instead.
MarineGunrocksays...^That and the .30-.30 I have under my bed.
Throbbinsays...FUCK DA POLICE!
kulpimssays...what's wrong with Baltimore PD?
MarineGunrocksays...^I'm not saying the guy wasn't abused, but how could you possibly tear a bill into pieces and be able to twist them in to an object sturdy enough to shove into a rectum?
