Re: Don\'t taze me drone!
[ QUOTE ]
police are trained to lie on(officially) and off(unofficially) the stand. [/ QUOTE ] Source? And this is one HELL of a statement, I want pages and pages. Unless your source is Law & Order or something. Then again, it probably is. [ QUOTE ] also a lot of places the taser is a pain compliance device. which means if you get pulled over and the officer tells you to get out of the car and you refuse, they are trained to just tase you repeatedly until you get out. which might be ok for a guy or a big guy, but when it happens to a 90 pound woman it's just dumb cause any cop even a girl cop should be able to manhandle a 90 pounder. I mean, come on. [/ QUOTE ] Source? I've yet to see a dept where the taser was used that way. It is a compliance device, but not pain compliance. Then again, you probably don't know the difference anyway. Well, actally I'm sure you don't, because your very definition of what a pain compliance device is and how it can be used were miles off the mark. |

Do you actually work for Blackwater? [/ QUOTE ] No, I actually work for the Georgia Department of Corrections, prior to that, I worked for the Dekalb County Police Department (GA) and the Calhoun County Sheriffs Department (AL). I've graduated with two police academy classes, one in GA and one in Alabama, I've also passed four prison mandates, hold a bachelors in Criminal Justice, and in all that training, I've never once been told to lie. I have however, been told on more occasions than I could hope to count that "If you lie, you die". I've also seen more cops get fired for lying than anything else. I don't work for Blackwater, but I have trained with them. Quality firearms training, best in the world. |

[/ QUOTE ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testilying http://www.ocweekly.com/ink/99/38/news-moxley2.php [ QUOTE ] While the U.S. Supreme Court has officially sanctioned such dishonesty, it’s fair to ask: When can the public feel confident that its cops aren’t lying? [/ QUOTE ] well perhaps you simply were in a very honest (small) county or something, where the police don't informally coach the newbies to lie on the stand. the fact that officers were fired kinda proves that this didn't go on. but as far as lying in the day to day operations, that is expected and part of the job. just look up cunningly coerced into waiving rights or something like that. but you probably didn't mean you don't lie to suspects. |

[/ QUOTE ] That, while true, is worlds away from lying on the stand. In fact, if you have a decent defense attorney, he will get the officer to testify that he did lie or misinform you to get your confession. Getting confessions by telling people "Hey, we've got eyewitnesses" or walking into an interview room and slamming a video tape down and saying "Guess where I've been???" is worlds away from lying on the stand in court. That was the part that bugged me, we all know police lie to suspects, but you said "police are trained to lie on the stand" which is absolutely false. |

[/ QUOTE ] So your point is that cops lie when they are unlikely to be caught, just like everyone else. Not really a condemnation of cops but nothing to brag about. EDIT: ARE TRAINED to lie when they are unlikely to get caught, that is. |

[/ QUOTE ] If you're incapable of understanding the differences in attempting to trick someone into giving up a confession for a crime they committed in a police interview room and a sworn officer lying on the witness stand in court, this discussion doesn't need you anymore, honestly. He said officers are trained to commit perjury. I disagree. |
