Thread for Things That Made You Frown Today

Saw that. The patient wasn't a suspect, wasn't under arrest, was unconscious (and therefore unable to consent), and in need of critical care at a burn unit... kinda needed to hang onto that blood maybe. Makes you ask yourself, if none of the above was true, why did they want the blood?

Reminds me of the incident we had up here in Minneapolis recently, where the woman calls the cops because she thinks she hears someone being sexually assaulted in the alley behind her house. Cops take forever to get there, show up and cruise the alley with the lights off, she comes down to meet the cops in her pajamas and the cop in the passenger seat shoots and kills her out the driver's window, right in front of his partner's face. So what happens? They request, and are granted a search warrant for HER house. Now why do you suppose they might want that, and why would they be granted it? She wasn't a suspect in any crime, so what could the probable cause be? I'm guessing they were looking for something to smear the victim.

There seems to be a deficiency in training for police officers, and a mind set that seems to have gone off the rails in too many cases.

That cop, who just so happened to be a Muslim from Somalia, also had several prior complaints filed against him by other women.

I forgot about that story but I'm guessing nothing became of it because someone was afraid of being called racist.
