Brave cop stands up to woman who "handed the ID card to me like you wanted to use it as a weapon and throw it at me.” Lucky for her she was white, unlucky for him it's on tape and he is full of ****.

Oh the irony of him getting snarky about her exaggerating things...

Again how dumb is this waste of carbon? You are on video!

I am sure the punishment will fit the crime though. He will get desk duty for a week then be back protecting the streets of Oklahoma from a bunch of id ninja star throwing bike riding women!!
 
Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!

Body cams aren't going to make cops better, but college degrees and higher standards will

It's on the cops to make themselves better. It isn't on protesters. Or unarmed young black men. Or journalists. It's on the cops. Just once I'd like to see a dash cam or body cam (that doesn't mysteriously "malfunction" at just the right time...:rolleyes:) that shows one cop behaving unprofessionally or dangerously or criminally and the other 17 cops who are on scene -- or even just one of the other 17 cops on scene -- telling him to behave in a professional manner. If one of the other cops in the room in Salt Lake when that nurse was arrested had taken the dick cop aside and said "hey, the lady is just doing her job, following the law and the rules. Lay off, you're in the wrong here, we have no good reason for the evidence you're trying to get" I'd have considered THAT cop an actual hero. It takes courage to do the right thing when so many of your peers are doing the wrong thing and expect you to go along. Hell, maybe they can take a lesson from some of our cowardly politicians and at least begin to speak up when they decide to retire. It might not be the same level of courage as someone younger and thinking they are in the middle of a career, but at least it would be something.

I'm sure there are examples of such but cops behaving correctly isn't newsworthy.
 
Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!

I dunno these days it might be newsworthy. The shock alone :eek:

Depends. The lower you go in the tiers the more you're training workaday bench techs and the more conservative they are. The higher tiers are training theoreticians and academics and they are more open and liberal.

RPI is solidly middle tier so they're probably middling politically. Of course, the only RPI grad I know personally is a radical feminist, radical liberal, incredibly sensuous BDSM sub, which is a lot more than I can say for any Tier 1 grad I know. :p

Well, now I have to ask. Let's hear the Tier classification, by Ivy.

I readjusted below. They are all Tier I or II.

Your list is the Upper Class Twit of the Year ranking for Goldman or the tiers circa 1927 and Gatsby. It's a money map.

By the way, I AM a proud Ag boy. Entered in the Journalism program which was part of Agriculture & Life Sciences! :)

If you're including grad schools, I may agree, since that inherently puts Dartmouth at a disadvantage since it is far and away the smallest Ivy with barely any grad students.

But I'd take a Dartmouth undergrad over Penn or Cornell any day. (Or Brown depending on the degree - afaik you can graduate from Brown with a general studies degree taking all pass/fail courses. That may have changed, though).

I was including grad schools. I don't even think ranking undergrad alone makes much sense because the normal distribution of student quality overwhelms the assets offered. I mean, HYP offers the best education in the world to an undergrad, but a third of the students at the "feeble four" of the Ancient Eight (HYPD) are $$ legacies who couldn't find their as-s with two nannies and a map.

In the end, nobody knows any school except their own, so comparisons are dumb. But they're fun, too.
 
Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!

I love it when Ivies unironically argue over which Ivy is the best. :D

:eek: TMI?

Not surprised that type would come out of a nerdery, though.
