Police Corruption Thread

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources sent what amounted to a SWAT team to raid a no-kill animal shelter so they could seize a baby deer. All of the shelter staff were corralled by armed officers, the fawn was shoved into a body bag and hauled off to be euthanized. The shelter had arranged for the fawn to be taken to a wildlife rehab center the very next day but weren't allowed to send it there.


The DNR chief defended the decision to raid the center without warning by likening the situation to a drug raid. "If a sheriff's department is going in to do a search warrant on a drug bust, they don't call them and ask them to voluntarily surrender their marijuana or whatever drug that they have before they show up," Niemeyer said.


It's a sad day when a state sends a hit squad comprised of thirteen armed officers out to seize and kill a baby deer.

Maybe they thought Bambi was Scarface?

Breaking Bambi. There's a spin-off!

Or make a movie based on this called Terms of Endeerment.

Yep. I have to raise an eye brow when I saw the thousands upon thousands of coffins at the Fema camps, and then a few years later, the news that Homeland security bought enough bullets to pretty much take out every single man, woman and child in this country, 5 times over, but alas, most people just pat me on the back and say, don't worry about it. They are just precautions. Oh yeah, precautions against what?

Police recently tasered and then shot a 95 year old man in a walker.

I can see that you're not very fawned of this thread.

This is the enemy:

*****ing ridiculous.

 

[Mace Bloodstone]

The bigger the government gets the less freedom and power the people have.

I feel sick after reading that stuff. I feel sorry for you who live in U.S.
Although I don't know if these SWAT attacks have anything to do with "bigger goverment", it seems like the people in charge of these operations just like to gear up and play that it's an action movie they are in.

 

[Piper Maru]

One day, the Deers shall rise and overthrow mankind. I for one welcome our future cud-chewing masters.

 

[Teelie]

The bigger the government gets the less freedom and power the people have.

I'm not going to get into the politics, there's a forum for that, though the claim itself is misleading. It's not the size of the government that's the problem with the explosion of abuse but the excuse of "terrorism" that is to justify these extreme responses.

And police in Florida shot an unarmed man who was in his own driveway. They shot at him 13 times in the dark but luckily only hit him once. The department claims they followed standard procedures and did nothing wrong. Innocent people minding their own business on their own property have as much to fear from the police in some places as from the stereotypical armed intruder.

[Teelie]

Somehow it doesn't surprise me they've okay'd it to shoot unarmed men in their own driveway who were not a danger and called it standard procedure.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

Yep. I have to raise an eye brow when I saw the thousands upon thousands of coffins at the Fema camps, and then a few years later, the news that Homeland security bought enough bullets to pretty much take out every single man, woman and child in this country, 5 times over, but alas, most people just pat me on the back and say, don't worry about it. They are just precautions. Oh yeah, precautions against what?

I don't really buy into all that American Holocaust bull, but I do admit the we've had a lot of news about police stepping out of line in recently. Might have something to do with that low I.Q. story we had a few weeks back though too.

Also, why did they do this for a deer?

 

[Schlosser85]

Wow I'm so glad we have cowards who tase and shoot 95 year old men in walkers and kill baby deer to protect us....except imagine the panic attacks they'd have if they ever had to confront an armed suspect??

I remember the case in that article. A full SWAT team descended on the home of an unarmed optometrist to arrest him for betting on a football game. The man was gunned down in cold blood, without provocation, for a "crime" that amounted to a bet between supposed friends. As far as I can recall, the department responsible for the killing never admitted culpability, although the county did pay a settlement to the victims relatives.

The Wisconsin DNR claimed that it had to seize and kill the deer because state law prohibits private ownership of wild animals and deer carry diseases. Licensed shelters are allowed to keep deer on their premises if they have the proper permits, however. They could easily have contacted the shelter and worked with the staff to either surrender the deer voluntarily, allowed the staff to send it to Illinios as planned or gotten them the proper permits. Instead of handling it in a rational manner, the DNR decided to conduct covert surveillance and then raid the place with more than a dozen heavily armed officers.

If they're this frightened of baby deer and old men in walkers, how are any of us supposed to have a scrap of faith in them standing up to an armed suspect instead of running away?

The first video was graphic enough. Two women, as shown in a Texas state trooper’s dash cam recording, are probed in their vaginas and rectums by a glove-wearing female officer after a routine traffic stop near Dallas.

A few days later, a second video surfaced. It was an eerily similar scenario, but this time the traffic stop was just outside Houston, and with different troopers. Two women, pulled over for allegedly speeding, are subjected to body cavity searches by a female officer summoned to the scene by a male trooper.

Unlike the earlier tape, this one had clear audio. Yells can be heard as the female trooper shoves her gloved finger inside one woman.

In both invasive incidents, the female troopers don't change gloves between probes, according to the horrified victims.

Texas officials say the searches are unconstitutional. So do attorneys for the shaken women, who have filed federal lawsuits.

But lawyers and civil rights advocates tell the Daily News these cavity searches are really standard policy among the Texas Department of Public Safety’s state troopers, despite their illegality — not to mention that they were conducted on the side of the road in full view of passing motorists.

“They basically raped them on the side of the road,” said Houston attorney Allie Booker, who represents the women.

This is just stunning. Texas state troopers have conducted full body cavity searches on female motorists and their passengers right on the side of the highway. Speaking as a woman, this sort of abusive police behavior is terrifying to me. That is tantamount to rape. The only good thing about this story is that the state took disciplinary action when the women's complaints became public. The two female troopers who assaulted the women were fired, and one was charged with sexual assault.

There are video in the article. I think I'm going to be sick.

Those weren't coffins at that FEMA camp. They were actually grave liners. Not sure if that's any less sketchy.

Regarding the deer story, that is some of the dumbest **** I've ever heard. The county officials should be ashamed of itself.

 

[KevanG]

Again with the Texas. Is there something that the whole state is drinking that makes them bat **** insane?

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Reading the title I thought for sure it was gonna be a male cop, damn.

 

[Brain Damage]

I honestly feel bad for any decent people living in Texas who get a bad rep.
The amount of ****ed up news coming out of that place is ridiculous.
This just adds on to the pile.
