An off-duty cop met up with two other officers. One fatally shot her in the chest. The cry rang out into the empty, bitterly cold streets of St. Louis just before 1 a.m. on Thursday. “Oh, my God!†a neighbor told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch she heard. “Somebody help!†|

The two on-duty officers -- described only as 29-year-old white men -- met Alix at the apartment. Police have not said who lived there.Quote from CNN. St. Louis Metropolitan Police Commissioner John W. Hayden Jr. said Officer Katlyn Alix was shot in the chest shortly before 1 a.m. as she sat in the living room of a fellow officer's apartment in the city's Carondelet neighbourhoodQuote from USA Today. Where was her husband? Wash Post is a paywall. :-( |

And most importantly, how could a heavily trained cop accidentally fire the gun straight into Alix’s chest? They were apparently playing Russian Roulette. |

I think many here on the boards will remember growing up & seeing police officers on traffic duties. Not anymore, they much rather be parked up on a motorway layby with their radar guns |

Absolutely honest police officers! https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/East-LA-CHP-Officers-Suspended-for-Allegedly-Exaggerating-Overtime-505216671.html An unknown number of California Highway Patrol officers assigned to the agency's East Los Angeles office have been suspended for allegedly putting in for thousands of dollars of overtime for which they were not entitled, officials announced Friday. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-chp-overtime-officers-investigation-20190201-story.html |

4 "brave" men at work. Not police officers, but police rejects enforcing the law. Pregnant woman dragged off train Surprisingly, it's not in America. |

I'm not surprised. This happened only last night in Lund, Sweden when "security" guards beats a young woman with a baton and wrestles down several people who ask the guards to calm down. https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/J1mppm/de-bad-vakterna-lugna-sig--da-blev-de-slagna The clip shows how a young man first gets shoved down. According to the witness, the man called the guards for idiots because he thought they used too much violence. "The woman who comes later had no connection with any of the other persons. She tells the guards that they should take it easy. Then one of the guards beats her with the baton on her leg", the witness says. "Then it's another guy, I think he's in the company of the woman. He does nothing and stands still but gets shoved so that he falls to the ground". btw. The pregnant woman mentioned in the Stockholm subway had a valid ticket . |

Shows the IQ necessary to be security and the training. |

Yep. Swedish division of G4S. :-) That reminds me of a visit, as part of a Dedicated MIcros team, to a city center CCTV monitoring center run by G4S. Just before we entered the ops room, the G4S local boss said "Don't bother asking questions in here, if the brain cell count is higher than the number of bodies, the supervisor is in the room." |

Yep. Swedish division of G4S. :-)G4S doesn't operate in Sweden any longer. It's Nokas. No better. More like vigilantes! Try using the mobile phone to film the "security" guards in action... https://www.stockholmdirekt.se/nyheter/sl-vakternas-ingripande-i-tunnelbanan-ska-utredas/reppko!oRcMXLl7oA0bqhUQrztLA/ And the police has not rejected enforcing the law in the pregnant woman case. Police will now initiate two preliminary investigations - one about suspected misconduct, directed against guards acting. And one against the woman, for suspected violent resistance. I like the term violent resistance. Saying to a guard "No I don't want to" is violent resistance. |

Surely, it can't be true? After all, it is the Union we're talking about. Previously, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) said it was seeing too many cases of corruption and of officers abusing their positions of authority - sometimes for sexual gain.5,966 officers and staff had not been properly vetted To paraphrase Edward R Morrow's famous introduction: THIS IS ENGLAND. :-) |

Marine Vet Films Traffic Stop From His Porch; California Cop Gives Him a Concussion On January 22, Adrian Burrell was at his home in Vallejo, California, when he saw his cousin outside with his hands in the air. The cousin, Michael Walton, was standing next to his motorcycle with his back to a police officer. "He can't hear you. He has his helmet on," Burrell told the officer, according to the account he later gave to KGO. At that point, he says, the cop told him to go back in his house. Yes, there is excellent video corroboration... |

View from the other side Definitely something wrong with the gene pool. |
