After officials reviewed dashboard camera footage of the traffic stop, they found the vehicle that actually made the improper turn was similar to the truck Arias Cristobal was driving, and on May 12, they dismissed traffic charges against her.
All Cops Are (lying) Bastards.
You'd think that traffic cops, being out in traffic all day every day, would be able to distinguish one vehicle from another.
You're being too kind to these murderous fucks. Have you heard the tale of Chris dorner?? Dude gets fired for reporting excessive force. Dorner starts killing police. In their manhunt, they shot an elderly woman and her daughter for "matching the description".
At about 5:30 am (PST), at least seven[91] LAPD officers on a protection detail of an unnamed LAPD official's residence in the 19500 block of Redbeam Street[92] in Torrance opened fire on the back of a light blue Toyota Tacoma and shot its two occupants, Emma Hernandez (71) and her daughter, Margie Carranza (47)[91][93] delivering newspapers for the Los Angeles Times.[94][91] The vehicle, according to officers, was spotted exiting a freeway and heading to the area of the residence that officers were protecting, was thought by police to match the description of Dorner's Nissan Titan and was moving without its headlights on.[90][95] Hernandez was shot in the back and Carranza received wounds to her hand. Their attorney claimed police "had no idea who was in that vehicle" when they opened fire, and that nothing about his clients or their vehicle matched the descriptions given of the suspect or his truck.[96] The two women stated that they were given no warning prior to being fired upon.[97] A neighbor said the truck was used every day to deliver newspapers, and the women who used it kept their headlights off so as to not wake people up.[98] The two women were injured, but both survived.[99][100] The LAPD started an internal investigation into the shooting. According to their attorney Glen Jonas, 102 bullet holes were found in the truck.[101] The LAPD declined to confirm the total number of officers involved or how many bullets were fired or if any verbal warnings were given to the women before the shooting began.[95]
A white male, also "matching the description".
Approximately 25 minutes after that incident, officers from the Torrance Police Department (TPD) opened fire on and struck another vehicle.[102] Like the first shooting, the incident involved a vehicle that police claimed resembled the description of Dorner's truck, but was later discovered to be a black Honda Ridgeline driven by David Perdue, a white male.[103][104] A TPD police cruiser slammed into Perdue's pickup and officers opened fire. Perdue, who was on his way to the beach to surf, was not hit by any of the bullets, but reportedly suffered injuries as a result of the car impact.[102] Police claim that Perdue's pickup truck "matched the description" of the one belonging to Dorner. However, the Times reported that the vehicle involved was once again a different make and color to that of the suspect's, and that Perdue "looks nothing like" the suspect.[102]
When they corner him in a cabin, they burn the whole cabin down with him in it.
You mistake my facetiousness for kindness.
Sure, maybe I could see a good ol boy forgetting the difference between Japanese pickups such as a Titan and Tacoma (assuming they had the same cab/bed size configuration), but it's fucking embarrassing to confuse a proper pickup with a crossover-missing-some-roof such as a Honda Ridgeline. The original Ridgeline did NOT have a normal bed shape.
Yeah Dorner got screwed, but let's not pretend that he only targeted cops.
If I recall, he murdered several family members of cops (adult children, etc.). Maybe I'm forgetting part of the story but I don't think they deserved it.
Yeah, in his writings he specifically wrote he was going after the cops and their families that wronged him, but i just used him as an example of cops can't identify shit and will attack anybody "fitting the description". Like Dave chapelle once said, "calling all cars, be on the lookout for a black male between 4'7" and 6'8".
Though, as we see here, it would be more accurate to say "be on the lookout for a black or brown or slightly tanned male or female or person of ambiguous sex, between the heights of 3 and 7 feet, between the ages of 5 and 105. Suspect should be considered armed and dangerous, and may be hiding in any home. You should consider yourself to have a-priori probable cause to enter any residence, or discharge your firearm in any direction you feel appropriate at any time."
He killed 4 cops and the adult daughter of the police captain, which I read but did not confirm was training to be a cop herself. He specifically avoided killing non cops, and that's what got him caught because he didn't kill the couple that reported him, instead temporarily tying them up.
Didn't he also kill the daughter's husband/fiance who wasn't involved with the police? Also thought there were more non-cops, but I haven't really read about the incident since it happened
Nope. It's all linked in the Wikipedia article that was posted here.
would be able to distinguish one vehicle from another.
lol i wouldn't assume they'd be able to distinguish between their mouth and their asshole. actually, come to think of it..
I’m going to imagine he quit because he recognized the part he played in sending an innocent woman to hell and decided to turn his life around.
Thats... a very vivid imagination.
Stranger things have happened. Unfortunately.
the only good cop is a dead cop.
I'll tell my wife's sister, who splits her time between the fire department and the police. Can we raise her when she needs to put the fire out? She also moonlights as an ambulance attendant, so we'd have to resurrect her for that too.
Nuance.
Edit: remind me what you hate the most about firemen and ambulance people? Be sure to phrase your answer in the form of refusing care.
If she's a cop she supports the fascists. Yes. Goodbye.
Poeple can be good and bad, or good in one situation and bad in another. Just because someone does something good doesn't disqualify the bad that they do. My first roomate was a firefighter. She loved what she did, but she was also a ceral cheater who cheated on her fiancé with multiple men. When he caught wind of all the men coming and going from our place she threw me under the bus and said I was the slut. That man probably still hates me for my fabricated sins to this day. Her saving people and pets from fires didn't negate the fact she was lying to everyone to cover up her multiple affairs.
remind me what you hate the most about firemen and ambulance people?
Nothing. I didn't mention anything about firefighters or paramedics.
Firefighters and paramedics provide services that are useful to society. Police .. well, they don't.
