From beginning to end, how the cops treated the situation was abhorrent; the photo was just the shit cherry on top of the large, steaming shit sundae. And of course it was a cop who took it and then spread it around social media. Wonder if he’d be happy to snap and share a gory pic of a fallen cop with the same glee.
As the article notes, the cops could have at least spoken courteously with her when she called, and there is no explanation as to why, in the three+ hours he was up there, no one contacted her (he was asking for her), nor why they didn’t deploy the inflatable on the ground below.
Nor, especially, why they saw fit to deploy SWAT dogs when he was clearly a danger only to himself. The dogs at the end, it’s almost like the cops wanted to escalate it so he’d just do it already. It’s certainly what he thought, going by what he was yelling, and then he did. Job well done, assholes.
If the prick who took the photo ever dies on the job, I hope someone of his own character is around to immortalize his own photographed gore on social media as a fitting tribute. I’m glad she’s suing and I hope she wins every dime and then some.
Absolutely disgusting. This is a crime comparable to revenge porn.
As always, ACAB.
Whenever someone talks about the horrible things cops have to see and how hard their job is just remember the miserable fuck who took photos of a woman’s dying son and thought their pig friends would get a kick out of it.
“A few bad apples” once again.
When they say it’s “just a few bad apples” they always completely miss the point.
One bad apple can spoil the barrel.
Especially a barrel of horse apples.
Makes you wonder where they’re hiding the good apples.
The good ones get harassed out for being pussies
Except that every cop described in the article is a bad apple.
Everything about this is completely fucked.
