ABC7 Article

quote:

The video shows the officers' training their riot guns on Sanderlin.

He stood a good distance away, made no aggressive motions to police, yet they fired on him several times, one round hitting him in the groin.


quote:

"They were aiming for a body part that is prohibited when using those type of riot guns. You're not meant to aim at the groin or the head ever," said attorney Sarah Marinho.


Not a good look. Dude was shot in the groin while his hands were up and required emergency surgery to repair a rupture possibly rendering him sterile.

Also from the article-
quote:

For three years, Derrick Sanderlin has helped train new police recruits about implicit bias and procedural justice. He wonders now if that work was in vain.

quote:

ABC7 broke the news to Chief Eddie Garcia about what happened.

This afternoon, he called Derrick Sanderlin and issued a statement: "Derrick has been a real leader in our communities' efforts to reduce bias and discrimination through dialogue. I assured him we will be investigating this incident."


EDIT- this happened one week ago.

I bet they coddled the officer that did it too. Put him on administrative paid leave or desk duty.

The good cops will never get the respect and pay they deserve until they make a real effort to get rid of all the jackasses.

It's like you knew what happened without reading the article.

quote:

Officer Jared Yuen, who has already been placed on desk duty, is now facing an internal affairs investigation for his aggressive behavior.

Don't worry, officer. You're good.

I'd argue that you can't call them good cops UNTIL they make a real effort to get rid of all the jackasses.

Not in vain. In vein, though.

I hear that a lot but it's not that simple.

Good people stand by because of work culture, societal pressure, and fear. Good cops risk hurting their careers by speaking up and perhaps more importantly they worry that they will not get the support of their brothers when shite goes down if they're known as a "rat". Many probably feel that if they call out other cops then it just makes everything worse because it fuels anti-cop sentiment. Obviously I disagree with that but it's not an unreasonable stance.

Unfortunately this just leads to doubling down on being shitty and makes things worse for everyone.
