Milwaukee police apologize for arrest, tasing of NBA player

So, cops can break the law. Gotcha.

 

Not sure if ADA speaks to local enforcement, I bet it does, but here's Milwaukee's find for violating same.

759 Unauthorized Parking in Handicapped Zone $200 $5 $10 $15

 

Duri

During the 8 minute mark after dragging him to the ground.

 

But all those are for parking illegally on streets, not parking lots. Parking lots are patrolled by private attendants and paid for by local businesses

 

Yep, but first it needs to be determined if the driver is intoxicated, or maybe robbing the pharmacy? Haphazard parking, parking across several handicapped spaces, arrogant disregard for others suggests to a reasonable observer that something isn't right with the drivers mental faculties or actions.

I see reasonable suspicion written all over this event demanding more than cursory contact.

 

BS! Think!

https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/346/VIII/503

346.505  Stopping, standing or parking prohibited in parking spaces reserved for vehicles displaying special registration plates or special identification cards.
(1) The legislature finds that parking facilities which are open to use by the public without a permit, whether publicly or privately owned, are public places. By enacting this section the legislature intends to ensure that people who are physically disabled have clear and reasonable access to public places. The legislature, therefore, urges the police, sheriff's and traffic departments of every unit of government and each authorized department of the state to enforce this section vigorously and see that all violations of this section are promptly prosecuted.

 

Implicating Trump in this is as dishonest and absurd as it gets. Just how you like it, I suppose.

 

So police are not to be trusted to protect me, yes or no?

 

I confess. At 2 am I have stopped at the corner store when there's an empty lot to make a quick in and out trip (what other kind is there at 2 am?) and have not been particularly careful about crossing lines and such. I'm going to taze myself just as soon as I get home. I can't believe that anyone who actually watches this video would have any sympathy for the officer who initiated it. Even he knew he'd f**cked up when what looked like a supervisor who responded informed him of who his victim was, the part where he goes to his car and says "fu*k". I thought the young man showed enormous patience and restraint under the circumstances. Even after being cuffed and tazed.

 

Yes, especially those violating handicapped zones.

 

Actually handicap spaces are often or perhaps always treated differently. They are usually created to conform to a city ordinance and as such can be handled routinely by the police. The car parked overnight or taking up multiple spaces is the property owners responsibility.

 

Yeah, denying nonexistent handicapped people in this scenario is the real problem this is all about but if you find it interesting.......fine.

 

Let's see.... car parked at 2a.m. in front of a pharmacy, parked, mind you, illegally across several handicapped spaces and pointed towards the parking lot exit. Poised for quick escape?

This screams potential robbery in progress!

 

And all that should have ended 30 seconds into the discussion.

 

The eight cops who participated in police racial oppression were all suffering spina bifida?

 

Trump is more than just absurd.

 

I don't know how it works down at Milwaukee, but around here private parking (such as a mall) management is private. The offending vehicles are usually towed away by a contractor.

Police enforce parking laws (when it isn't another force that does it) only on public lanes.

PS you answered the point a few posts later.

 

Actually, I might have gone ballistic the third time he had to turn off the car alarm because the cop kept touching it. Does he not understand how car alarms work? Also to the hands in pockets argument, that is why his hands were in his pockets, to turn off the damn alarm.

 

whatever you say kojak!!

 

If that's the case, it would be quite easy to notice to a trained eye.

 

It doesn't say offenders shall be brutalized, tased, arrested, and charged for parking offences.

 

Yep, all night drug stores are constantly being robbed by people using $70 000 get away cars.

 

Nonexistent? This is flawed thinking. It's akin to parking on the runway of your local airport saying "look at all this space that no one is using!" Secondly, how do you know a handicapped person wasn't waiting or saw that the space protected for lift van usage was taken and went elsewhere?

This is just foolish, arrogant and disrespectful. No excuse.

 

Well, there have been stranger things... But what I mean is that a trained and uniformed law officer would have felt something like a tension if such a crime had just been committed... but the only tension there was they brought with them. They were no responding to any emergency or the like, as far as I know.

 

The 8+ police that turned up blocked more parking spaces than the victim. The cops should have arrested each other for parking offences.
