Abuse of Authority - Police At Their Worse?

Is this abuse of authority? Does this seem excessive? Actions like these are what makes the average citizen have contempt for law enforcement does it not? Is the contempt warranted? What's your opinion.


What about this one, is this really necessary? Or is the news guy cause problems with the flow of traffic. Isn't this standard for accidents? It the police over zealous? It this abuse of authority or poor judgement or the police doing their jobs?


Although, notice the guy saying "He can shoot if he wants to" Is that provoking a response? The cop didn't say stop shooting. So is the report trying to get a response. I don't thing they should have been told to leave however the officer was walking away and then that comment hit his ego as unnecessary disrespect and contempt (lol, my opinion obviously, but you see the reaction for yourself).

so at the end of the day, this never should have happened, yet it did't have to go this far either. Well that's why I was interested in see what other people had to say about it.

Abusive cop tasers man because he didnt sign a ticket

That's the headline that was given for the video. The State gave the guy $40,000 for this incident.

Question. Do normal people just sign the ticket and THEN challenge it in court or give the cops a hard time?

Is it normal to say no I am not going to sign, I am going to go back and see the sign?

After seeing this strange behavior is the cop rational to question the guys actions or even what the guy will do next.

If this is so is it unreasonable for the police to taser someone who has to this point been uncooperable and refused to do as told?

So......Is this abuse or not? What is the truth about this incident?



How about this one? Is this abuse?

Question.... If the cop warned the kid before this incident, which the kid admitted to... Doesn't that mean the cop could do write him a citation? So isn't taking the board (although, I don't know if he can or not, would be interesting to find out how this went, but still...) isn't taking the board giving him a break?

Would the parents serve the kid better by telling the kid that he should have not skated. Is this an opportunity for the kid to learn a lesson of following rules or is it the chance to learn rebellion is correct behavior and obeying laws isn't.



I don't know, I am asking. What do you think about this one. Is the cop abusive or is the kid out of line. Should the parent take up for the kid or stand behind the officer? What truly is the appropriate behavior of the people involved in these incidents from a big picture view. Looking at it not JUST from one point of view but also from the point of view of the officer. (Which most people REFUSE to do but you are smarter than that)
That's why I want your honest opinion.

Higher Pay Will Be a More Common Thing in The Future in my Opinion

Other trucking companies will be doing the same as Maverick in my opinion.  It has been my opinion since the beginning of the recession.  Because of higher demand for drivers combined with the increase enforcement of regulations for safety.  Older drivers are leaving the industry, retiring or tiring with all of the changes.

Smart trucking companies looking at more than the 1st tier bottom line will see beyond immediate saving of hiring all new drivers and turning them over rapidly.

Smart trucking companies will focus on higher pay and better treatment of drivers in aim for a more loyal base and lower turn over rate.  This in my opinion creates a more solid company that has to ask less of employees because employees feels like more than employees.  They are treated like people that are part of a team.  They will work better and be happier which means, safer more proficient drivers who waste less money are more responsible and take better care of equipment.  I don't know why it is so hard to understand this.

Soon even not understanding or believing this will not matter.  Once enough trucking companies and other employers for that matter goes this route, companies who don't will not have a good pole of workers to hire from.  They to will end up having better money and benefits for drivers because they will have to in order to function.  Albeit it not at mass efficiency for lack of concern to treat their drivers as people.

The will still not have employees who wouldn't leave the company, they would remain only for better pay and benefits.  So trucking companies need to have someone in charge who actually cares about people and desire to give them a pleasant place to work.  Go talk to the people at Maverick. maybe they can help with the attitude adjustment.  I have talked to a few drivers who work there and most of them loved it, I am sure now then love it even more. 

Trucker Maverick to Raise Driver Pay, Expand Fleet

Also notice how trucking companies who do treat drivers better will enjoy free publicity.  I do it all of the time but all people talk about things the like or find providing a value to them or others.  Ok,well not all people but you get my point.  I have also pointed out New Century before and it is because it is a great company to work for as far as I can tell by all of the drivers that I have talked to.

So take your pick, keep treating drivers like crap or step your game up and enjoy YOUR benefits for doing so!

Waste Fraud and Abuse of Your Tax Money - Just One Example

For those who wonder why there was disapproval of printing money. This may provide some insight. More of this will soak up the money than anything else and if this was actually dealt with, money wouldn't need to be printed in the first place. That is the argument. What say you?



lol, it's been an epidemic for a while.
