Abuse of Power Thread (Cops, Governments, Etc.) - Part 2

With a little digging, it appears they want to demolish the building after 48 hours, with people still unaccounted for. That is.... horrific.

I don't get it -- why the rush? Are they expecting the rest of it to fall?

[squeekness]

What are the charges and are they legit?

 

[Sithborg]

Seem to be aiming for some sort of RICO charges.

 

[Sithborg]

Yeah, this Atlanta PD trying to intimidate people.

 

[squeekness]

Awful. Why do they do such things?

 

[Teelie]

Because they can get away with it.

 

[Sithborg]

Would you look at that. Cops lying to get what they want.

 

[squeekness]

Shocker!

I guess this is what you get when no great candidates apply.

As if they weren't looking for those kind of people.

I've seen reports where they are getting pretty desperate for recruits, who wants a job where you get crap pay and you could end up in jail for a split second mistake?

They are looking for the kind who can keep it low key.

Cops rarely go to jail for anything, even murder. The number of times a cop is jailed versus the number of people they are "justified" in killing is a joke.

I don't know. Seems like that's starting to change,or get enough publicity to make anyone thinking of applying reconsider the risks.

 

[Teelie]

And yet there have been several high profile cases of cops getting away with it. It's only notable when they are convicted and we see it in the news as well.

Oh, I agree. But if I was a young person looking at job choices I'd be picking fireman or postal worker just in case.

These people are not true Christians. Jesus would weep.

 

[Teelie]

These are the same kind of people who would have kicked Jesus out of their church.

Stone him. Crucify him.
