Here is a story from a little while ago that appeared on my feed yesterday: https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/cop-fatally-struck-nurse-actions-crash-shock-victims-loved-ones-rcna12072.  It hits several boxes:  cops acting like some rules won't apply to them, and then displays of "professional courtesy" that demonstrate why cops are so confident that some rules won't apply to them.  I wonder how many non-cops can talk to New Jersey State Police on the side of the road, appear intoxicated, have a body in their car of the person they admitted to hitting, and go home without getting arrested.

Pro-police art from ... a simpler time? :unsure:

Do cops usually do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation? Seems like something you would put for EMS personnel.

Beyond it kind of looking iffy in general  :ph34r:

Cops definitely know how to do CPR, and it's not something you can leave for later.  These days they would probably do chest compressions only, though.

It rarely works.  The secret is to look like you are doing something.  It'll never work if you hold the patient in your arms like that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well I know they can. I was talking about choosing that image for pro-cop propaganda. Seems more something you would use to glorify EMS personnel.

You got certified in the police academy because of state requirements, but would not be re-certified and we were told not to engage in it.  That's what medics are for.  Union rules.

My Dad was, like, "great, another TV show making the BPD look bad."  :lol:  Because, hey, the BPD doesn't do that enough on its own, right.

We Own This City

Executive produced by George Pelecanos (The Deuce) and David Simon (The Wire) -- and based on the book by Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton -- We Own This City is a six-hour, limited series chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. It examines the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.

The cast includes Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, Show Me a Hero), Josh Charles (The Good Wife, In Treatment), Wunmi Mosaku (Lovecraft Country), and Jamie Hector (BOSCH, The Wire), among many others. See the full cast here.

Pelecanos and Simon also serve as writers, along with director and executive producer Reinaldo Marcus Green. They are joined by longtime collaborators Nina K. Noble as executive producer, and Ed Burns as writer/executive producer. HBO alum Kary Antholis also serves as executive producer; Bill Zorzi as writer/co-executive producer, and D. Watkins as writer.

That does really change how one understands the story yes.

Well here is hoping his victim survives and the murder-suicide becomes an assault with a deadly weapon-suicide.

I am a little confused about those things. I was told my whole life "NEVER DESECRATE THE GLORIOUS STARS AN STRIPES" but then at some point it became patriotic to change the colors on it.

It's completely political and nothing more than a moneymaker for some people. There is not a single law enforcement memorial foundation to date that actively endorses that bullshit. Some police unions maybe, but it's simply the rebel flag by proxy.
