Just when I thought we were able to get away from the “cops abusing authority” trope. A cop was assisting the sheriff’s department with a call about an unpaid child support complaint, when he noticed a deer that local residents had been feeding. When the deer approached the officer and allowed him to pat its head, he took it upon himself to declare that it was a domesticated wild animal, declared that it was illegal, and then proceeded to pin the deer to the ground, pulled out his service weapon, and shot the deer in the head. In full view of horrified children that had considered the deer to be their friend.
Pokagon Band Tribal Police released a statement saying it was arresting a suspect at the same property when the deer was “euthanized”. That is copspeak for “he was following our nonexistent procedures, and we are whitewashing the entire thing.”
In summary, a “bad” cop does something illegal that he would gladly arrest anyone else for. Other cops witness this, standing there with their hands in their pockets. The “good cops” whitewash the entire thing and expect us to “back the blue.”

Fuck the blue.

The abuse of authority by cops is getting to be too common for even the most ardent “back the blue” types to overlook. In Britain, it was already becoming common enough to remark upon in a popular novel: David G. Compton’s “The Steel Crocodile:”
— ‘The police force, Dr Oliver, provides a legitimate outlet for men with a warped or immoderate need to exercise power.’ —
It’s been here long enough to be well established — but I severely doubt anyone will do anything about it. (Cf. Robert Michels’ “Iron Law of Oligarchy”)

Well this clown doesn’t need to get a hunting license, he’s already bagged his deer.

Normal people need to start banding together and put a stop to the cops. Strip them of not just their badge and gun, but degrade, humiliate, and dehumanize them in a public spectacle on the side of the road.

Indeed. When he trips over people everywhere he goes, his wife and kids are treated with scorn and rudeness because of their association with him…when the local bars and restaurants refuse to serve him, when his cars are covered in mud or other more organic substances, when people “accidentally spill thing son him, etc, then perhaps he will learn his lesson and behave or find another profession.
\Failing that, there are more …..direct, shall we say, forms of coercion. More forceful, if you get my drift.
Police can be tyrants only as long as the people being policed allow it.

I have no clue what drives this generation of cops to be in the field… back in the day I wanted to help people if I could and when the time came kick ass and take names when it came to criminals, not every day citizens… trust me when I say this, this generation of officers are dumber than bricks… they don’t know the law, they have shit for people skills and will abuse their power and do whatever they are told by the admin… be very careful interacting with them if you have to …

tic tok, tic tok
One by one these abuses pile up until at some point the wall is breached. With the photographic and video evidence available today, and distribution through the internet, the signal can’t be stopped. There is a huge reservoir of rage amongst regular people being barely held back in America, and when that dam breaks, every insult, every abuse, every backhanded blow by bad cops that was covered up by other bad cops is going to get repaid, with interest. The cops aren’t here to protect us. The feds are here to actively hunt us. The bureaucrats are here to rub our noses in it. The politicians to rob us. The veneer is gone, nothing but ugly left underneath. Next economic meltdown…

What do you want to bet the “evidence” was moved to that gestapo agent’s home freezer for storage pending “trial”?
To add to Mr. Porretto’s comment (above), he is correct, and it will not turn out well for The Boys In Blue when it becomes more widespreadly understood that they cannot be trusted for anything, at any time.

Being Retarded must be a Prerequisite to being a cop.
This action tells me, this “cop” …is just a Psychotic Killer.
He’s in it just for the chance for killing.
Noted.

There will come a time when citizens actively hunt and sanction police. Bodies will be defiled in the most unique way. Their families will be targets too no matter how old.

Donut molester minions of Leviathan have no idea how hated they are outside of copsucker groupies and children who don’t know any better.
Those with a high IQ are turned down in the weeding out process and only detectives have any clue.
An older sibling had a mental breakdown after seeing the protect and serve the shit outta you crew kill a longtime friend.
A friend since before my balls dropped was executed for killing a fed during a setup sting drug deal dispute in the eye for an eye department.
All maggot minions of the state can eat shit.

You have 2 issues here, corrupt cops who “think” they hold power over all they survey and justice for Annie.
1. As for corrupt cops in this case it don’t get much worse than Tribal cops. Prayer circles or facebook campaigns and begging a corrupt system to control their corrupt cops wont happen. But these fools like so many others don’t get it. The system you trust in doesn’t exist anymore, deal with it.
2. As for justice for Annie, I’m NOT saying violence is the answer BUT if for say something happened at this cops home to make it personal and send a message, maybe things would get better and the message would get out that if you make it personal then so will we.

He is an asshole to have done this. And, not one of his fellow Leo’s, tried to stop it? F**k them too.
The man was given a chance to express morality and humanity, and he failed.
Every man has a choice: is this the right thing to do?
He failed, so did his supporting cast of A-holes.
Modernity at its finest.

Sadly this happens all too often. SWAT raids over tmae deer, coos, or possums. Can’t have the serfs thinking the King’s Deer can be befriended. Yes I know wild animals can be unpredictable, but free men should be able to take that risk.

It takes at least three cops to handle a child support complaint?

Looks like the trigger-happy douchebag got fired:

Want to place a bet on how long it will be before he’s quietly rehired with full backpay?

Why doesn’t he get “pinned to the ground” and have someone put a couple in his head; in front of his family, of course??

I think the first step in stopping police abuse is actually to get rid of police pensions. Put them on a regular 401K or whatever. I have seen story after story of ‘good’ cops covering for bad cops, because no one want’s the pension gone. Get rid of pensions, and MAYBE you have a start at cleaning things up. As long as your pension hangs in the balance, everyone covers for everyone, because no one wants that risk
