I wonder if we are all not looking at this problem from the wrong view point. We are looking at this from a quality assurance instead of a quality control stand point. Quality assurance reacts after the fact and does nothing to avert paying someone who had a tazer placed near his nether regions. Quality control would ensure that the infamous “Officer 3” of the tazer incident had known that that type of behavior was unacceptable and would not be tolerated.

To those who would say that an ombudsman is not needed I cannot agree if you say an ombudsman should not be needed I would whole heartedly agree. Paying for one or more individuals to provide additional oversight can be considered nothing but a waste of tax money especially when the individual/individuals in the office can only react to alleged bad actions by LE. Would the money already being spent to pay the salaries of trainers and supervisors be better spent if those trainers and supervisors actually did their jobs?

I do not want this to sound like I am blaming this only on the beat cops, it is not all their fault. Individuals act in the way they are trained and unfortunately cops are trained that they are always the ultimate authority in every situation, which is untrue far too often. I guess the worst thing about the training is when an instance like Sgt Sperry’s you tube video happen the average cop is trained that those actions as illegal as they were are acceptable.

To the trainers at POST I would say this, teach the rank and file the right way from the start and too the supervisors I would say hold your charges to a much higher standard than you presently are. As a tax payer I personally expect more for the nearly 100K that a supervisor makes than what I feel I am getting. If this is seen as bashing I am not sure it will ever be possible to voice an opinion or concern about LE that is not seen as such.

Again, these guys cannot apprehend and effectively prosecute the real criminals. Hiring more bungling and bumbling coppers and prosecutors to bloat the payrolls of the municipalities exacerbated the problem and is no solution.

Tormenting, bullying, coercing, and harrassing innocents is the end result of the bloated and flabby payrolls and flabby behinds!!!

I follow him on social media, and like some of his work. That is why this story has caught my attention.

And, when you add in the intolerable insolence and disrespect that many of them display, along with too much bungling and bumbling, no one should question the cynicism of many taxpayers and citizens towards them.

I have heard of too many traffic tickets for innocuous speeding such as even one nog over, tickets for jaywalking, crosswalk stings, speedtraps, and so forth.

And, have you ever heard of a citizen complaint ever resulting in much but whitewashing and being swept under the carpeting?

Translated: her priorities were completely out of whack…this has nothing to do with your attitude towards cops. This has EVERYTHING to do with a properly trained, professional who can control herself, think clearly on her feet and show respect and understanding for the law. SHE DIDN’t do any of those things and it needs to be addressed. The traffic stop was probably just for show anyway and totally meaningless…..but who knows who was in the car really.

With people like Neal Feldman around who truely blow things out of porportion, the number of guns around, and the ever-increasing amount of violence against police officers, can you really blame her for not wanting this guy at her 6:00?

Without a doubt, there are instances of police abuse in this city, but this just doesn’t seem like one of them.
