Discussion for article #244438
Good luck with that, moron.
Because freedom!
because in his day, you could beat citizens freely without threat of retribution. I’ve never met a cop who doesn’t think a) their lives are more valuable then the rest of ours, b) they are ALWAYS right, c) that society should worship the ground they walk on because they knowingly walked into a job with known occupational hazards
but yeah, fuck this guy
“The officer doesn’t know if this is somebody who’s a friend of the individual he’s doing law enforcement action against or what.”
So?
This is the guy who tried derailing a recall election for his buddy, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, two years ago.
So do bricklayers and roofers and any number of construction workers. Who, by the way, die in work related incidents much more frequently than cops.
Honestly…I…every article I read that has GOPer in it, I expect a gut punch of stupidity that always makes me sigh in extraordinary disbelief. It’s really like someone punches me. I’m having an internal struggle because I’m beginning to truly hate these people instead of just pitying them. I’m becoming a racist. I hate conservative white people. I’m white, for the record. I don’t want to be a racist against conservative white people…fakeGod knows I do not want to be. But, alas, I am.
AZ and ME are in a heated competition today fighting desperately for the most effed up government traveling trophy.
So let the cops carry a small radio transmitter to shut off any security cameras in their vicinity and keep their actions safely secret. It would have the added benefit of tipping off criminals when cops got in their vicinity, but whatever, the point is to take away yet another right from citizens going about their lawful activities.
All cops will now carry standard issue tape measures to enforce the new law…
yeah! This was my first thought. Nothing like a vague law to expand a cop’s potential to abuse his power. If they see anyone taping them, they will arrest or ticket, regardless of feet. It will be their word versus the person video taping them.
If the cop feels threatened by the camera, will he shoot?
Don’t they already carry one so they can measure and compare their pee-pee’s?
If a cop is hassling you and you want to film it, are you supposed to ask the cop to walk 21 feet away?
I bet if there was a guy named Billy Bob open carrying near by he’d have no problem. Because the 2nd Amendment (and a weird interpretation of the 10th) are all that matter.
The 1st is only an issue for them when a bigot loses something for being exposed as a bigot.
Dear Sen. John Kavanagh (R-Fascist)
Seig Heil you little fuck.
“So?”
Exactly. I mean, he is the dude with the gun.
This guy is a real authentic dim bulb. I’m wondering if he has seen the image of the Philly cop getting assaulted. That’s a damned grainy image.
This guy’s bill is a direct infringement on freedom of speech in that we should be free to film whatever and wherever we please outside of certain military considerations. Should this be taken to court it would go down in flames.
So without further ado I offer up Kavanaugh’s version of the republican bubble:
And folks, not all of us Arizona residents are as fucknutz as this legislator is.
Wow … love the “diversity” on the floor of the Arizona legislature!
I suspect this guy is also very much NOT in favor of police having to wear body cams and always have them on.
