How much money do you expect the Incompetent Cop to have?

i expect him to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in his lifetime, and he should pay it all to the guy he shot.

NYPD Officer Stripped of Gun and Badge After Arresting On-Duty Mailman

The NYPD’s recent arrest of an on-duty mailman who had apparently committed no crime was so revolting that not even the NYPD could stand behind it. Lieutenant Luis Machado, who oversaw the arrest, was stripped of his gun and badge and placed on modified duty, the New York Daily News reports today.

NYPD Cops Cuff On-Duty Mailman for Yelling at Them While He Delivered Mail

According to Glenn Grays, the postal worker who was cuffed, the officers approached him after he shouted at them for nearly hitting his truck with their car. A video of the ensuing scuffle and arrest circulated widely earlier this month.

According to the News, Grays was charged solely with resisting arrest, a favorite catch-22 tactic of combative cops everywhere. If your only crime is resisting the officer who’s trying to arrest you, what were you being arrested for in the first place?

All of the officers involved were removed from the unit in which they worked, and the NYPD Internal Affairs is investigating the incident, the News reports.

Another story of bungling police. Thankfully this time no one was killed.

The postman yelled at an unmarked police car that nearly hit his van so the officers backed up and arrested him. You really cannot make this stuff up.

Another link to the story.

Astonishing quote from head of Police Benevolant association Patrick Lynch - “No one ever has the right to resist arrest,” Lynch continued. “Compliance is not optional.”

Thank God for video evidence or who knows what might have happened.

As with other subjects - ALL the evidence in the world is not enough to convince some people.

Absolutely true. A further fact, the arrested postman Glen Grays is married to a police officer so I'd assume he knew his rights and how to act around police officers.

EDIt: Sorry engaged to a Police Officer.

considering the pay and risks do you really think any police force is attracting the best and brightest that society has to offer?

You will be waiting a long time for, 'policeman does his job well' as that is the standard, in all professions there will be incompetents the police are not infallible, except when they eff up it's not just a misplaced order or a missed deadline..someone is actually dead.
That cannot be ignored.

Blindly? Yes it's a tough job but equally it's a job that comes with alot of power over people and you know what wise old Uncle Ben said about that

Not blindly but with a full understanding of the job, the risks and the human detritus that they have to deal with daily

Not when they murder and maim people. Things will never get better when there are people like you who believe people in uniforms are beyond criticism.

[Tom4784]

Someone doing their job properly shouldn't be news, the fact that you think a Police Officer being competent at his job should be news shows how bad the situation is in America atm.
