gbpfan1231 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Show me a group of money draining teachers with 1,500 charges pending against them. It's interesting to entertain the idea that some of these corrupt cops could also be macing peaceful protesters. I will bet you a a ton of cash that if you could look up the records of all the OWS protestors you would find more than 1,500 guilty charges of some type of illegal infraction. Oh wait that is OK because being a liberal it is ok to be a hypocrite and it was probably not their fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Those 16 policemen should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible. And that should have zero bearing on the 34,500 other NY policemen who perform a dangerous, stressful and sometimes thankless job. Safe to say that 0.0005% of any organization can be corrupt.

Here you go...dumb azz.... •The number of K-12 public and private school students in 1996 who have been or will be sexually abused by a member of the school staff is nearly 7 million of 51,331,000. •Between 1% and 5% of teachers sexually abuse or harass students. •At least a quarter of all school districts in the United States have dealt with a case of staff sexual abuse in the past ten years. •Most cases of sexual abuse of students by teachers are never reported. •In nearly half of the cases, suspects were accused of abusing more than one student. •Only two cases were cases of false accusations; less than 1 percent of the cases studied. •No type of school was immune to abuse: public or private, religious or secular, rich or poor, urban or rural. •Responses to Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Students by Staff •38.7% of the teachers resigned, left the district, or retired •17.5% were spoken to informally •15% were terminated or not re-hired •11.3% received a formal verbal or written reprimand •8.1% were suspended and then resumed teaching •7.5% were cases where the superintendent determined that the teacher hadn’t meant to sexually abuse •Of the nearly 54% of abusers who resigned, weren’t rehired, retired, or were terminated, superintendents reported that 16% were teaching in other schools and that they didn’t know what had happened to the other 84%. All but 1% of these teachers retained their teaching license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not going to dispute the data in your post (despite there being no link) but as a side note, I often wonder about the kind of statements quoted above. You see this in rape data, for instance - there's always some note about hugh numbers of the crime never being reported. If that's the case, how can anyone possibly contend it actually happened? Typically, this kind of allegation comes from vested interests that benefit from a problem being perceived as larger than it really is.

Ditkaless Wonders Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Who caught and charged these corrupt cops? Was it non-corrupt cops? Now the defense bar and the civil litigation bar will work to see that they beat the charges and are not disciplined through dismissal. Then, when these corrupt cops do something else wrong that same civil litigation bar will be outraged, outraged I say, that these cops are still on the force.

One of the officers was also indicted on drug charges, another for leaking details of the investigation to the police union, and four others for covering up an assault case against a fellow cop. [0] bit.ly/vSIqjj Meanwhile, 2 Tuckahoe NY cops won’t be facing charges for helping a NYPD cop avoid DUI charges in an incident that was uncovered as part of that ticket fixing probe.

[3] bit.ly/uRv69f Jefferson City MO cop is on paid leave after arrested for drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident. [2] bit.ly/uNnn47 Before I go, a quick reminder about some of the guidelines about what reports qualify for our news feed and police misconduct database: We only track reports about misconduct committed by people who are employed as a certified or sworn officer at the time of the alleged incident. This means we don’t track misconduct committed by people who are no longer officers when they do something bad and we don’t track cases involving non-sworn employees like clerks, parking enforcement, or corrections officers. We have guidelines set to limit updates on reports to only include status changes that are significant to a case that has already been tracked. So, while we would report that a cop who we tracked as being charged with a crime was convicted or sentenced for it, we won’t track that the officer’s trial started or specific items of testimony about the case were published unless that testimony revealed other allegations not already tracked. For a more detailed discussion about our reporting and tracking methodology, please refer to this page on our site. Thanks, and stay safe out there!

One video, shown at top above, shows protesters carrying off an injured man they claim is a veteran who was hit in the head with a less-than-leathal projectile.

Next, a (updated) video, shows the incident involving the injured person, (now being reported as the veteran who was critically injured), that he’s talking about, you can clearly see the projectile lobbed from police lines before it explodes amid the crowd trying to assist that person.

matt770 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Cops fix tickets for friends & family?! Have to agree here!!!!1!!! Somebody call 60 Minutes. Here's another dirty secret -- firemen & EMTs show their badge/ID after getting pulled over, no ticket unless they're hauling pounds of dope or completely sh*tfaced (and in that case they get a police escort home in most instances). It's one of the most dangerous and thankless jobs there is, and NYPD are probably the best in the nation. This thread is another expedition from a usual suspect.
