Thread: NYPD Narcs Falsified Drug Charges to Meet Quota.

We fabricated drug charges against innocent people to meet arrest quotas, former detective testifies

The sad part is: this kind of shit happens everywhere.

Police used to watch over the people, now they watch the people. ~Charles Manson

I have nothing to say but.... legalise all drugs. And end this BS forever.

Or how about what's the fucking deal with arrest quotas anyway?

NYDN Poll results

lol

It's no surprise that cops fake things to meet quotas. With the hundreds of false arrests going on during the protest, the entire political system of New York will start going into chaos. The Mayor's approval rating has dropped from near 70% approval, to about 20%, the next election will replace huge chucks of the local government. There are wide calls for investigations of high ranking NYPD. The media is digging, and will most likely expose more and more corruption. It's a good thing. The ACLU and NYCLU are both sending people into the protests with cameras and building legal teams to protect the falsely arrested. I think the NYPD is on the brink of sweeping changes to deal with things like this.

hehe. In Australia, they've had to pretty much press restart on the entire police force like 5 times in at least 2 states that I know of, because the corruption was just so widespread.
It's hilarious that people think anything is going to change for any significant amount of time.

I don't follow. It seems to me that you are criticizing the American People for either A) Complaining about the injustices of the USA, or B) Not Leaving. Is that really what you propose the population, here, do? Either STFU or leave the country. Really? Or am I misinterpreting?

Well if I genuinely believed that my government was so engaged in horrible acts of oppression that it flew planes into its own buildings, then yep, I think leaving would be my first move.

The government is allowing the banks to have people arrested for trying to withdraw their own money and give tax payer bailouts to the largest share holders. What the fuck are you talking about?

By Xei's logic, if the mafia decides to move into my house, it's my responsibility to move out...

Yes, isn't it amazing when you want to refuse to listen to government you are told that you can leave the country but when you complain about government, people get up in arms over others telling them the same thing?

The threat of exit is the greatest force participates in a group can make. Complaints mean nothing if you don't have the ability to opt out of the group.

I never said I the government wasn't the problem, the government deregulated the banks, I know that's the problem, I've said it a bunch of times; but the bank called the police, the bank locked the doors. The government didn't create the banks: Marcus Goldman created Goldman Sachs, Citi Bank was created by Moses Taylor. The only bank to be created by the government is Chase. So liberals have overbearing mothers huh? What about liberals who's mothers died when they were young?

So you must have had a negligent, probably alcoholic mother, now your subconscious sees the government as your 'mother,' and all you want out of it is a hug, but you know you'll never get one. That must be painful for you. You can deny that too, but everyone knows it.

I'm confused. So people who think that the government shouldn't be deregulating the banks because it allows them to create massive bubbles, which eventually burst and trash the economy, which has been seen a number of times to varying degrees. Then getting pissed off that the government gave them billions for a bailout, most of which went into the accounts of the share holders instead helping ease the struggling market. Seeing the CEOs who embezzled, allowed the economic meltdown not only get off scott free, but actually get even richer off of the problem, then getting upset about it. All those people we can safely assume had sad childhoods? Just stop dude, if you continue with this delusion, no one will ever take you seriously again.

Or there are other grievances other than the ones I mentioned. The fed's one of them, cost of basic health care, the costs of operating in the legal system... I'm watching tv and just wrote that response over the course of like thee commercials so my thoughts are all scattered. Yes, having problems with all those things seem to indicate lousy childhoods too lol

I mean if you're gonna start talking about boom and bust cycles it's a bit off the mark to not include the Fed which is the driving force behind them.

Yeah, I know, but my thoughts were everywhere, I wasn't listing grievances, I was responding to cmake's trolling. Let's get back to the topic of phony arrests and planting evidence.

Not really surprising in the least. What's sad is that I would say a majority or at least a large and growing minority of cops are crooked now-a-days. I know some of you believe that bad cops are just a small minority, but from personal experience I've seen that the more new cops are added to the force, the more bad cops there are. Just like how there used to be politicians who weren't flaky and held consistent ideas that only changed out of learning and growing rather than the need for more votes and money (not to mention personal gain). When you create an environment where the police are nothing more than an armed security force with a license to do virtually whatever they want without repercussion (post 9/11 America), sooner or later corrupt police that abuse the power they've been given are going to surface. The longer the period in which this environment exists the more corrupt police there will be. Young cops who would otherwise be dutiful, lawful, and moral would see other corrupt cops who were there before them as role models. That and the idea of abusing power becomes okay as they are further desensitized to it. I mean, everyone else does it. If you need to meet that quota, why not just cheat a little bit? It's only one person out of 6 something billion, who cares? It's their word against yours and you're a cop, who's the judge going to believe? Can't forget either the smell and taste of power itself is mighty alluring to those who actively seek it.

Until the police are held accountable for their actions they will continue to grow more corrupt and the more people will grow discontent and reject authority. If something doesn't happen relatively soon the title of "law enforcement officer" will become a joke in America. Most people I know believe "cop" is synonymous for "bully", only they're protected by the law. I can't say I don't share that opinion myself, though I try and avoid judging all cops based on the actions of only some cops, which is the attitude I try to take toward all people. Keep stereotypes in mind (because they aren't stereotypes for no reason), but treat everyone as if they are their own person because they are; but, I digress. The only way this is going to get better is to reduce the power that police officers hold, though some people (especially cops) would argue that it's already hard enough for the police to do their job. The only other way to reduce their power without making their job harder is to make the penalties for abuse so harsh that no or very few cops would be willing to risk doing so, indirectly but effectively making them less powerful.
