Good Cops are NOT the PUPPYCIDE-guilty officers ... the Blue Line - TopicsExpress



          

Good Cops are NOT the PUPPYCIDE-guilty officers ... the Blue Line is a HUGE part of the PUPPYCIDE problem. The good job done by PUPPYCIDE-guilty officers is make it easy for the PUBLIC THEY SERVE to identify them. We the people pay GOOD law enforcement professionals to serve the public and we the people, the PUBLIC, must ensure that our law enforcement professionals have the training they need in order to handle dog encounters with non-lethal methods. For those less than GOOD officers, aka PUPPYCIDE-guilty officers, we the people MUST DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONSEQUENCES. The following is more evidence of the existence and extent of the problem called the BLUE LINE in the United States of America. One cant help but wonder if budget issues within law enforcement agencies would improve with enforced officer accountability & consequences for their actions, INCLUDING LAPSES THAT LIKELY WILL OCCUR IN VIDEOS RECORDED BY BODY CAMERAS. Why ‘Good Cops’ Stay Silent, August 25, 2014: Cops who kill, it appears, are considered worthier of support than peace officers who cross the Blue Line. Yakima police officer Adam Basford was purged from the ranks because he saw his role as that of a peace officer sworn to protect persons and property, rather than a member of a privileged enforcement caste. Basford, an Air Force veteran who regarded himself to be a peace officer rather than a law enforcer, had patrolled a violent neighborhood riven with gang-related violence. On many occasions prior to August 18, he had called for backup, only to find – as he did that night – that no help was forthcoming. This wasn’t just because Basford’s fellow officers were afraid, but because he had violated the unwritten but binding rules of police solidarity by speaking out against routine misconduct and abuse within the department. freedominourtime.blogspot/2014/08/why-good-cops-stay-silent-persecution.html AND Google search results on why good cops stay silent https://google/?gws_rd=ssl#q=WHY+GOOD+COPS+STAY+SILENT According to officer Basford: “It was a common practice to turn off the video monitor and the lights when officers were dealing with what they called a `lippy prisoner, especially if it was an intoxicated woman,” Basford narrates. “This wasnt done for the safety of the inmate or the officers. It was a cruel, abusive, and completely wrong. So I filed a complaint about it – and from that time, I was on my own. I later filed several excessive force complaints. I was an officer who had crossed the Blue Line, which meant that none of my supposed brother officers would ever have my back.” The treatment inflicted on Basford offers a stark contrast to the official solicitude displayed toward Officer Casey Gillette a few months earlier after Gillette attacked an unarmed man, falsely arrested him, and engaged in a cover-up to avoid being charged with aggravated assault and kidnapping. Gillette, significantly, was one of the officers who pulled their guns on Basford the night of August 18. See POSTSCRIPT at the bottom of this article for more on the following: Yakima PD and State-Aligned News Outlet Double-Team Adam Basford. When confronted with an allegation of official misconduct or corruption, a journalist will investigate the complaint. In the same situation, a state-licensed apologist will investigate the complainant, in order to vindicate power in the eyes of the public. Thus it is probably significant that when Yakima NBC affiliate KNDO decided to follow up on my story about former Yakima PD Officer Adam Basford, the headline it chose was: “I-Team Investigates Blog Claiming Yakima Police Abandoned Officer in Struggle.” The video provided to KNDO – which wasn’t available to me at the time I wrote the original story – validates most of Basford’s account: It shows police responding after the altercation; documents that Basford was wounded (although at the time his wound – which proved to be very serious – was dismissed as “superficial”) – and that Basford was concerned about the suspect going for a gun; and it captures the image of Basford striding toward the suspect with a drawn gun at his side. KNDO depicts Basford as a dangerous and undisciplined officer who was seeking to “execute” a suspect he had just risked his life to arrest without using lethal force. It also dismisses his claim that other officers had declined to intervene on his behalf by noting that “in all official accounts of the incident, there was no mention of officers witnessing the struggle and not helping.” This story also posted on Peaceful Streets Project: https://facebook/PeacefulStreets/posts/762308063829092 ***************************************** PLEASE JOIN FREEZE DONT SHOOT (FDS) for a WIN-WIN-WIN for DOGS-CITIZENS-LAW ENFORCEMENT - become a member of the FDS Facebook page for YOUR state - LINKS to state pages at: https://facebook/events/1387273054897347/?ref=22 FREEZE DONT SHOOT (FDS) APRIL 25, 2015 NATIONAL MARCH #2 https://facebook/events/1387273054897347/?ref=22 VIDEO OF FREEZE DONT SHOOT NATIONAL MARCH HELD AT STATE CAPITOLS ACROSS AMERICA ON OCTOBER 25, 2014: Short version: https://youtube/watch?v=swS_4Sk3j3k Full Version: https://youtube/watch?v=soTx-zD-XTU MORE FREEZE DONT SHOOT VIDEOS https://youtube/watch?v=Se52PZAM83Y https://youtube/watch?v=a7_mKrfiwAk https://youtube/watch?v=aU2adAyHihE Pages with Links to Facebook pages of PUPPYCIDE victims cops-shooting-dogs.blogspot/p/fb-cause-pages.html AND https://facebook/notes/695738733833790/ The PUPPYCIDE page from Animal Voices includes links to PUPPYCIDE publications from professional law enforcement sources and national animal welfare organizations: animal-voices/puppycide/ Webpage with links to numerous PUPPYCIDE articles furbyshouse/Dogs-Shot-By-Police.html Dogs Shot by Cops: https://facebook/groups/357653880997442/
