New York Man Arrested under the SAFE Act

[Great-Kazoo]

Not worth it... NY is basically an entirely different country when it comes to Law Enforcement. They make dirty cops in CO (which are rare) look like freaking Serpico. NY sucks, and they voted for that.

MMMMMMM i met Frank, and knew his family. not exactly a bouquet of roses. When you speak of "dirty cops" also keep in mind there is a mentality within a lot of Large / high density urban [ Liberal] areas where the LE's hands are tied. HIGHER UPS are politicians more so then street cops, who worked their way up the COC.
NYCPD has more "gun shy" beat cops then you could imagine. The PC higher ups were "recommended" by Politicians who have their own agenda and with their "Chess Pieces in place" are sometimes able to govern by fiat
What you see / read and hear regarding some MASSIVE POLICE ABUSE IS nothing more than the liberal ANTI-LE agenda. I know people who were involved with a few MEDIA WORTHY events and what was depicted vs what happened were very different.

NOT SAYING I AM 100% A LE SUPPORTER . Like any other profession they have good and bad. Or as i see it, those who have taken the letter of the law and given it their own interpretation.
The bad always get more press than the good.

STATE TROOPER SEXUALLY ASSAULTS SUSPECT

LOCAL PD donates building materials for disabled veteran who lost everything in house fire.

I am not against cops. I have several in my family who are just fine back in Missouri. A cop is somebody that joins the force to "Protect and Serve" and that applies common sense to a situation. They de-escalate when they can and try to find the 'right' answer for the greater community. I am against Pigs. These are High School bullies with a gun and every good size PD has at least one. Growing up I saw a lot of both because of how Missouri is with small PDs all over the place. I support cops, they have a tough job that does not get enough understanding. Pigs can rot in hell twice because of the lose of trust they bring to an orderly society and cops. They are the ones that videos like this leave us all questioning their motives and fearing this will become "normal".

Is there a reason you specifically singled out Denver cops? Are they somehow more apt to be overzealous when it comes to enforcing a state-level mag capacity limit that is to be enforced by every cop in every jurisdiction? (Ironic that Denver's own municipal mag capacity ordinance is actually more lenient than the pending state law...)

Reputation... The public, by and large (from my personal experience), is that a lot/large percentage of DPD are a bit too aggressive and overzealous in enforcing BS and/or unconstitutional laws. In my experience, I've never dealt with any "bad" DPD officers, but they do act a little more 'puffed out chest' than say the Lakewood cops I've had dealings with- but pale in comparison to many of the rookie JCSO deputies that get posted in Evergreen (I hope Bailey catches my meaning).

Can you say anything without the emotional hyperbole? "Pigs"? Really?

And, no, this video (which is not even what this thread is about) did not "leave us all questioning their motives" and in fear of anything. The reasonable people understand a valid conclusion can't be reached from watching a <2 Min video. The only thing you know about police work is nothing.

Yup, unbias reply there. "Stop right where you are! You know the score, pal. You're not cop, you're little people!"

Cops can do no wrong, I used to be one....

[Bailey Guns]

So you were a cop...not a pig?

That was sarcasm there...

In the decade I've been on the job, I haven't charged a single person under Denver's assault weapon ordinance (of which the mag capacity limit is included). Nor can I recall a single time that I've seen someone else charge it. And that is not due to some ultra-righteous opposition to gun control. It is simply due to the fact that, in every instance where the Denver ordinance could have been charged, there were also state/federal offenses involved, and the cases are charged at the higher level.

How do you think this behavior will hold after July 1?

No kidding? I guess it got lost in the name calling/other attempts at belittling that you frequently resort to in a discussion. That's typically SOP for someone who doesn't have a valid argument to present.
