Again, not defending the guy at all, but i'd be extremely hypocritical to pretend I haven't made some really reeeaaaally dark jokes in my day. I can understand people being upset for sure, i'm just very glad that some of my conversations haven't been recorded and released.
Every single person here would be jobless, or their business destroyed if all their pvt conversations, even only work-related ones were aired to the public. The cop was dumb for not considering his body cam was on I will say. I assume they get use to it and forget about it. He discusses his conversation in a link posted above by another poster. Thread quieted down quite a bit after that link posted, except for me babbling on.

Report him. I got a cop in trouble for speeding in our neighborhood.

It never ceases to amaze me that "conservatives" are so happy to support the single state institution that will enforce any and all laws, legal or not, that the state comes up with.
I’m not sure that what you think a “conservative” is necessarily a correct definition either, but would agree with you that most of those who call themselves “conservatives” based on conspicuous consumption or wedge issues don’t really fit the true meaning of the word.
Regarding “law enforcement” - that is the job of the police. I’m not sure that I necessarily want them interpreting the law or deciding which laws they want to enforce, reasonable discretion not withstanding.

I've heard from medics, cops & firefighters that they oftentimes utilize dark humor as a trauma response to what they see everyday in car wrecks and things of that nature. Basically they have to make light of it to not kill themselves 6 months onto the job. I've never been a first responder so idk personally but I'd imagine being a fireman and pulling dead families out of cars day after day would be extremely traumatic and taxing.
Not to say i'm defending the guy, just an observation.
They definitely do, but I think the issue here is that the guy was literally at the scene. In the video he's a few feet from her body and shows up as CPR is being done and he's laughing and joking.
First responders can definitely get morbid, I remember in a town near me the police and EMS were in trouble for sending each other gore pictures of accident victims to see which one was the grossest, but usually they at least have the decency to not joke about the situation while literally standing over the body. I think that's part of why people are so upset.

No doubt. Also, two things can be true at once. It can absolutely be true that the cop was dead wrong while simultaneously being equally true that my private conversations can be a very dark place with the humor.

For sure. Definitely wasn’t trying to excuse the guy or anything. Just stating that I think our first responders and our country at large needs mental health care. The PTSD that a 15-20 year veteran cop or firefighter must have in their head has to be staggering.

What a turd. This person was a precious life and he thinks her death is funny? What if that were his child?

People taking pictures, especially first responders who's job isn't to take those pictures, of dead people, should be fired. Police may take pictures of the scene, fire investigators may take pictures of the scene, medics have been known to take pictures of the vehicle crash to show the ER doctor how much damage there was. If of a body, it's typically with department issued cameras, but that can vary. Small towns may not have them.

Sadistic Cop. Laughs at death of young girl

I dont understand why anyone is shocked.
They are an uneducated workforce same as any other blue collar job. Those are the types of answers that I would expect to hear from people of that intelligence level to be honest.

Agreed they are POS.
I dont know about firing though. There are cameras everywhere now.

There's no way to combat that though. Unless you went hardcore with mental health professionals into all the departments. Public wouldn't want to pay for that, nor would city politicians. How can you even recruit it correctly like I said earlier? Being honest then you won't hire anybody. Sounds good and fun at first, then you get burned out, have PTSD, think it's weak to see a therapist, have no backup career to fall back on, and get stuck in your current job.
Even if you sent a team of healthcare professionals, most firefighters and police officers would bash it and be embarrassed even knowing deep down they need it. Many do get help on the side on their own time though. I did. I also made excuses not to for many years before I did it.
I'd urge anyone wanting to be a firefighter, medic, cop, to get a degree in something else and if you still want to pursue being a first responder, then go for it. Once you burn out, leave and follow your degree.

Naw, taking and sharing pictures of dead or even live patients among random firefighters or medics you should be gone. I'd go out of my way to have you fired. I personally can only suspend someone, not fire them, but I'd try my best to make it happen.
fwiw, my speaking lingo sounds much better and more appropriate than my typing lingo. I agree it's awful

Most people don't ask for a standing ovation or pat on the back for doing their jobs. It's what they signed up for and what we expect.
When you have cops playing on their phone, using hand sanitizer while kids are being blown away in a school of course that's going to garner ire and anguish from the public who pays their salary.
That's pretty much how all jobs work. You very rarely give thought about the fast food workers who get your order correct, but when it's wrong it's a big deal.
Cops are not volunteers. It's cost the public six figures in salary, benefits, and retirement for each and every single one of them. We expect a certain level of professionalism from them.
Bad policing and discourteous officers are a plague on society.

At least other people with blue collar jobs are not welfare leeches and have a positive impact on society.

I’m not here to defend the cop.
However, if you’ve ever been in a really stressful situation, it’s pretty normal to process it with some pretty sick humor. Being a first responder, you can’t allow yourself to get emotional every time you see something terrible. You have to put it behind you and go right back to work on the next call.
I wouldn’t judge unless you’ve walked in those shoes.

Nobody should ask for a standing ovation or pat on the back, it's weird and awkward.

Everything about Uvalde was an embarrassment. Not every dept, I would say most aren't, Uvalde.

You should expect professionalism. My problem here is, cop wasn't in the public acting bad, he was on a private convo. There's a link in last page with him explaining it, up to you to believe him or not.

100% agree, same with medics and firefighters. Watched a video a few months ago of medics literally killing a man who was having delirium tremens. It was brutal to watch. They treated him like a dog

But you are defending it. Anyone who would laugh at a innocent person being killed and basically joking she was useless, is a sorry and sick SOB who deserves to be fired

What a prick. Laughing was bad enough, but what does he mean she had limited value? Sheesh.
