Police Brutality in Braddock

if I had to take a guess id say you got busted for something big in the past and thats why you hate cops so much!

who knows why, but I bet if someone robbed his house or help him up at gunpoint the first place he would call would be the police he hates soo much.

Fixed :idb:

Naw, he would probably just give the robber everything becuase afterall, criminals are such victims of society and get a bad rap. :rofl:

So how do you help someone up at gun point :rofl:

if you see someone laying on the ground and point a gun at them and tell them to stand up, that would be helping.

:doh: , my bad :smiley:

If someone breaks into my house, they will meet my Sig P239 .40 before they meet the local PD

true, and if you’re not home?

If real State troopers were like Super Troopers, I would sign up tomorrow.

Thats not a fair judgement. I agree with a lot of things you say…but I cant agree with this one.

I know a lot of cops, ems, firemen, jail guards, ect. Granted some of them do dumb shit and take that badge to a different level but when ever I need something they are right there for me.

I support them even if they do a few crooked things. Im not perfect, and neither are they.

I belong to Pitcarin #2 fire dept. You wanna see some messed up things, go to that town! lol

Logix…I understand your point on Braddock and N. Braddock. I have 2 friends that live in N. Braddock. One of them, if you step into their house you would never even know you were in N. Braddock til you step out of the house.

My ex fiance worked in the Plantscape building off of Braddock ave…I hated going down there…lil white girl, shit I wouldnt last 2 min down there alone. It made me sad everytime I drove down that road thinking about what that street actually looked like when my Grandparents were kids and their parents worked in that same mill…I wont lie, Braddock wouldnt be standing on its last limb if that plant wasnt still there. I feel bad for the fire dept thats right there on the out skirts of that plant too…the things they see, Im not sure I could even imagine.
But same follows for E. Carson Street where my Gram grew up. When I take her to visit my Aunt on saw mill run…theres always tears in her eyes bc of what that stretch used to be like. Even driving through Wilkensburg…That “neghborhood” was the ritz of Pittsburgh…but you would never know by the looks of it.

I also have a good friend whos parents and Grandparetns still live in Rankin. In the same house they grew up in, with the same ugly color paint on the same plaster walls holding it up. They still go to the old italion club and play poker sat nights, still go to the same church, and the same markets around the corner for milk. Its not always a bad neighborhood…when your neighbors are good people…so please watch your mouth when you call areas like this “all trash”. You tend to only see what you wanna see.

Granted would i choose to live there? Probably not. Pitcairns only good above 6th st, N. braddock has its areas and so does Rankin. And so does any other place in this city. I dont care where you go…theres always going to be “trash”, and always going to be crooked cops. No matter where you live.

Thats probably because you swing from their nuts… im sure if you are friends with them on a personal basis they are going to treat you well… and you just said some of them take that badge to a different level…

first off…i dont swing from anyones nuts. Its called RESPECT give it=get it.

Second…I “made friends” with them bc the police dept happens to be across the street from my work and I went to school with a few of them. Not to mention the township cops where at my house a million times to pick up my dad…so I happened to get to know them by being a victim for some 17 odd years.

If you ask anyone that knows me, Ive got hook ups all over this damn city, and its not bc I swing on anyones shit.

Theres not one officer that hasnt used that badge to get something done.
No different than anyone else at any other job abusing privileges.

Ive already stated the officer was in the wrong. And should be delt with accordingly.

But being an officer of the law is a very much different job. It’s wrong to pass it off as being akin to stealing notepads or eating food behind the cooking line or whatever. These people should be held to the absolute highest standard. There is no way I could hold myself to this standard, one of the many reasons I didn’t pursue a career in a LEO.

That cop should face the exact same penalty as whatever that man would have faced had he punched a cop in the face. Assaulting a police officer is way worse than assault alone. You should be forced to face the same protection you enjoy because of your job, should you decide to abuse it.

who knows you thou?
