A plethora of videos showing our constabulary in action popped up over the weekend. They show the police in action ranging from good cops to bad cops to cops who get the job done regardless of how it might look to someone else. Enjoy.
The Good
Cop pulls over dude for speeding. It turns out Mario Andretti is long on speed and short on fashion. The plot to this caper thickens when the cop finds out he didn't know how to tie a tie. Watch the video for the rest of the story.
The Bad
This video is the complete opposite of the first one. Alabama cop responds to an accident. The man getting out of the SUV with his wallet in hand is the one who called the police. Remember, this is an accident, not a crime in progress. Get ready to get mad.
Two courts upheld this shooting. The incident occurred three years ago but the video was just released. Article.
The Ugly
IHOP in Florida on a late weekend night. What could possibly go wrong when women, alcohol, Florida, and IHOP are mixed together for a Youtube cocktail? Did I mention that coffee canisters were testing the laws of physics as they flew across the room or that the manager tried to throw them out for bringing alcohol into the IHOP? The cops are trying to break up everything without much success until another cop shows up and takes charge (2:00). It wasn't a pretty sight but he got everything under control in record time and those who needed to be arrested were arrested. Five people went to jail that night.
The women who said they didn't do anything and check the video? Well, they were the ones who were doing the attacking. News report on incident.

Florida..... what lease can I say. And everyone calls Mississippians rednecks. Florida is full of white trash, black trash and Hispanic trash..
First one...nice job office!
Second one...I thought he came out with a gun, and I knew something was up...
Third one...this is why we can't have nice things. Cop did a nice job controlling the situation.
As police have now appear to have a blanket right to shoot if they have the slightest fear for their lives, I think we might need to go back to the Cold War frame of mind. Remember the "Run, duck and cover" drills we did starting from elementary school when the RED Nuclear Scare was prevalent. EVERY MORNING, after the pledge of Allegiance (do we still do that daily pledge?), students should recite whatever mantra the police come up with that gives instructions on how not to get shot. Be quiet, hands up and open, drop to the ground spread eagle. Of course if you're Black, non of these instructions apply. Pray, get shot and hopefully you will survive long enough to sue the hell out of the government.
That's every morning, for every student right up through HS.
Five bucks says the cop in the second video has a Roll Tide sticker on his truck.
@ 2:27 AM:
Be the change you want to see. Apply for and join a local police agency, and start the change from within. If not, then just keep bitching about something you know nothing about.
Remember video #2 when you plant one of those "support the badge" signs in your yard.
Ditto @8:12 but what do you expect from someone awake at 2:27 am?
From the looks of things, the officers that initially responded were a bit overwhelmed. Then, the Ole Sarge arrives. No BS, No PC just commands in a way and language the crowd understood. As a retired Sgt. from south Florida, he did EXACTLY what was needed to take control of the situation. Some people bitch, moan and complain about police abuse. I saw none of that in the video. His Command Presence took control of the situation. Great Job! Amazing, no pepper spray, no tazer, no asp and no gunfire. I'd give him a commendation.
Hey, 7:49, I'll take that bet. No f@cking way a cop that works for Opelika PD sports anything that says "Roll Tide." 50 bucks his personal vehicle has an "All In - Fambluh!" sticker. Guarantee he's a booger.
Livin in a trailer park, shootin guns after dark... I'm white... and trashy...
Cops today are nothing more than a bunch of uneducated hotheads who are too stupid to get a real job. Most were picked on when they were kids and just love the power a badge and a gun gives them. I never feel safer when I see a cop. I don't know anyone who does.
The cops in Fort Myers, Florida handled that situation well. That should be used for training purposes.

For the twentieth time you Goobers: What difference does it make to you what time of day or night people post to a blog? Not everybody has the same sleep pattern as you and not everybody gets to cruise in to work at 9:00 am or later. Many of us are up odd hours for a variety of reasons, none of which is any of your damned business, 9:57 a.m.
PS: He might have been up early talking to your old lady on the phone.

My parents (one of whom is an Auburn graduate) have lived in Opelika since 2001. The split in Opelika (among non-college grads) is 50-50 at best, maybe a slight edge -- say 55-45 -- in favor of the tree-poisoners. Lots and lots of white trash Updyke supporters. Promise.
I don't think anyone really had a problem with the Florida cop. Did what needed to be done.
Now Bama cop, different story.
11:57 = another processed branch bovinian.
Don't get out of the car unless the police tell you to, and when you do don't have something in your hand. Yeah, the police were idiots, but the driver here contributed to getting shot. These guys sometimes have to make a decision in a split second and they're not always going to make the correct one.
Fmickns... you are exactly what's wrong with this country and why President Trump was elected. Don't want to have an encounter with the cops dont break the law. Yeah it's that simple. Teach your kids responsibility instead of entitlement. You are owed nothing.
9:33 nailed it. I thought the 2nd dude had a gun. Not sure I would have plugged him so quickly. Last video, dems some form fitting dresses.
1:52 --
Where'd you go to college? Let me guess. It's either (a) you didn't; or (b) somewhere like Lurleen Wallace JUCO or South Alabama or Montevallo.
Like 85% of the Updyke fan base, you didn't go to UAT. Did you?
Good post.
