If you call the police over an argument, you are a retard. There is no law against arguments. I would never call the cops, unless there was a corpse I need cleaned up, after I took care of whatever problem arose.

In all my years I've never seen Brit cops pay for fast food at night or have to wait in line, I've never seen them in food shops in the day so I don't know what the practice is before dark.

Lets not forget about informants.They are criminals working for the police. They get away with theft, vandalism, etc due to their importance. They even get to do the drugs without fear.
and they even let them out of prison to snitch and run stings

If you look at it this way, the numbers speak for themselves. A few bad apples. A few bad apples can give a person with an agenda against the police enough statistics to fabricate whatever view of the police they want.

As far as the op article. The cops dont need a warrant to enter the persons house since mom said they could go in. We only have one side of ths story, distraught mom with the penache of overdramatising what happened in order to pander to the media. I am curious what the police side of the story is.

What this breakdown lacks is the number of complaints where the officer was exonerated of any wrongdoing. It also lacks the breakdown of how many complaints were outright false and found to be so.
I have reviewed the website and the creators clearly have an agenda against the police that they are attempting to further by providing these statistics without further investigation or breakdown. Anyone can provide slanted statistics knowing what conclusion the reader will be led to.

Phoenix AZ police sniper allegedly shoots wrong woman in face during stand off when female suspect ran into her home. While I was suspicious when I read the early accounts on this one, I’m questioning it more now that additional information is being released, it may get dropped from the database.

hg,
More recent reports allege that, after she ran into the home she went out the back and drew a gun on officers that were waiting behind the home, then she ran back inside. The reports further allege that, during the standoff, someone shot at officers and remote listening devices officers sent into the home. Finally, the police allege that, at some point, the women exchanged clothes before the other woman opened the curtains and appeared to be standing over the other woman in an aggressive manner. Police allege the women lived in the same house as well.
It’s pretty convoluted though so I want to wait until more information comes out, especially from the woman who was shot if that happens. It’s a tough call.
Let me put a spin on the numbers too:
-There are over 1,000,000,000 instances of police officers taking action every year and having contact with the public. Whether that is arresting someone, responding to a call, writing tickets etc. etc. etc.
-The website states that there were 4,861 complaints on those contacts.
-That means that out of all police action taken in 2010 only 0.0004861% were alleged to be misconduct. Some of which were most likely deemed unsubstanciated or false after investigation.
Also,
-There are around 500,000 sworn police officers in the United States.
-The website states that there were 6,613 officers that received complaints in 2010
-That means out of the total number of sworn officers in the United States only 1.3% received complaints last year. So there were around 493,387 officers that did not receive a complaint of misconduct.
-Some of those complaints were most likely deemed unsubstanciated or false after investigation
If you look at it this way, the numbers speak for themselves. A few bad apples. A few bad apples can give a person with an agenda against the police enough statistics to fabricate whatever view of the police they want.
According to court documents, Chrisman held a gun to Rodriguez' head when the 29-year-old refused to let officers into his South Phoenix trailer.
After a brief struggle, Chrisman allegedly shot the family dog, and then shooting and killing Rodriguez as he was trying to leave. Rodriguez was not armed.
Chrisman's attorney is arguing that the shooting was justified because Rodriguez, who has also been shot with a Taser and hit with pepper spray, was an imminent threat.
Officer Sergio Virgillo, who was with Chrisman at the time of the incident, said Rodriguez was not posing any threat when he was shot.
Chrisman's attorney said the Maricopa County Attorney's Office has not talked to Chrisman about the shooting and is relying only on Virgillo's account of what happened that afternoon.
This is not the first time Chrisman's integrity has been questioned.
According to police records, Chrisman and another officer were accused of planting a crack pipe on a woman during an arrest in 2005. The incident was caught on a video surveillance camera. It was determined that the officers did this as a joke in an apparent attempt to provoke a reaction from the woman.

It also lacks the number of cases that are not reported. 1 incident is to many.
