A teenager who video-recorded his mother’s forceful arrest by Louisiana sheriff’s deputies in 2020 has been awarded $185,000 by a federal jury in a lawsuit filed over one deputy’s attempt to interfere with the recording.
Trump may be a lot of things, but I don’t suspect he’s into being dominated or shamed sexually. That’s why the Russian pee tapes always seemed so outlandish. And now that I think about it, I bet the cops aren’t into it either, the only corporal punishment they’re dishing out is to their wives.
So if a worker somewhere breaks something, every single employee should be held responsible for that?
I’ll say the same thing as Flying Squid with different words: How many times have you seen a cop in any discussion, offline (edit: online) or in person, be pissed off about a shitty cop? If your answer is anything more than “almost never” I’m going to be fairly skeptical.
Police have made it clear that they will do whatever they want, and fuck what we think, even when there is clear video evidence.
You have a group of folks with immense authority, a criminal justice system that elevates their word and testimony above that of others, and a literal license to kill, which seems not to be made up of particularly compassionate people, or many who can think much beyond “hit it, tase it, or shoot it until it does what I want.” And who trains them in and reinforces this behavior? The other police they work with.
Why wouldn’t they keep doing what they do when they have this scam in place: Taxpayers pay police budget --> police fuck people up --> Taxpayers pay the inevitable settlement which includes a gag order for victims and no admission of wrongdoing --> Police have no incentive to change their behavior, so don’t --> Taxpayers pay police budget…
Where’s the incentive to change policies and procedures? They’ve shown public trust and opinion isn’t something they value, so what’s left?
Because the unions shield the cops and fund their legal defenses and because that single person is almost never held responsible.
Also, I don’t know what you think corporal punishment is, but it isn’t that.
Maybe giving the cops a good spanking when they break the law might help.
They’d probably be into it like their daddy Trump.

You need to read about his trial. Stormy Daniels testified that he told her to spank her with a rolled up magazine with his own face on it.
Being humiliated by yourself, that’s wild!
Yeah, seargent punishment is worse, not to mention detective punishment, or even undercover punishment.
I hear Corporal Punishment doesn’t come without Major Pain.
Sherrif you say so, I guess…
(For those wondering at the joke this far down the thread… it’s “corporeal punishment”–corporal is a rank.)

It is correct. It’s used in the same sense, too, bodily punishment, and corporals were head of a “body” of soldiers.

*collective Punishment. Speech to text does funny things sometimes.

When “good” cops start actually working against the cops committing atrocities, I’ll worry about collective punishment for cops.
