My father was a cop. Riot duty was one of his favorite gigs.
I love my dad, but he, like pretty much all of his generation wearing blue, used gestapo tactics.
He was a cop in the bay area during the 60s. The first order of business during any protest was to stir up the protestors. They would taunt the protestors, call them racist names, etc. If that didn't work, they would plain out lie. "They were trying to burn down the building!" "They were throwing rocks." Those who have been in protests should know this already.
Once they are using force, there are no rules. The policemen wear body armor and helmets. They go for heads, necks, knees and stomachs with their batons. Pregnant women are targets. The elderly, the handicapped, targets. Women are targets. You'd be surprised how many cops get a hard on after beating up some "hippie bitches." Don't believe anyone who will tell you they try to protect the weakest - this is a bald faced lie.
They also use tactics to inflict the most bodily damage. Force them into an alley where they can be bludgeoned, and not run away. Fire tear gas at the heads of protestors, not at the ground. If you have the luck to find someone curled up in fetal position, keep hitting until they stop moving altogether. Bodies can be moved. Back then, they ended up over the state line. And since they were just "dirty hippies" they would be written off as runaways.
Media must be prevented access. With reporters, aim for the cameras. Make them non-functioning. Scare them away with any intimidation tactics possible.

2. Police Unions rarely support Democrats
And they make more than teachers or firefighters
Like I said in another post, they need to lose some skin
That "skin" could be cold hard cash

:rotf:

10. He must have had some great redeeming qualities
to make up for the whole batoning pregnant women and the handicapped thing.
None more so than any abortionist.

I wonder how they feel about 0bama wanting to hire more cops. :-)

The Walker Stalkers in Wisconsin blew out people's ear drums with air horns and vuvuzelas. At least one was a man with Down's syndrome. And they shouted vulgarities at a 14 year-old-girl who was giving a speech.
And while the police weren't particularly helpful, since many took the side of the Walker Stalkers, nobody from the TEA Party threw stuff at the police.
Oh, and we left at the end of the event. We went back to our lives. We didn't over stay our permit. And we had a permit.

Pop should have used that baton on Tavener....spare the baton and spoil the child.

12. I don't know if *he* did that specifically, but he told me other cops did
And yes, they thought it was funny
Funny
You don't get to choose your family, and you don't get to choose who raises you
To me, my love hate relationship with my dad is just proof positive that things are not a simple "yes" or "no" in this world
:yawn:

I had a love/hate relationship with my old man too...I loved him but hated the ass kickings..... :lmao:

I wonder how much of Tavener's story is true and how much is some stuff he just thought up that would get him some cred? Looks like it kind of back-fired on him.
My dad was a cop. Many of my relatives were cops. They were good people. Better than me, because in spite of all that they saw they really cared about people. Even a bunch of the crummy ones. I don't know if I could. They also never brought the crap into their homes (traumatized us kids with details), though I can remember mine just sitting and staring a few evenings after particularly horrid days.

Well taverner, my mother was the first female cop in her department and she says that your story is pure :bs2flag:

I was never a cop, don't know any cops, but even I can tell that the story is a load of horseshit. I wish I knew Tav's dad so I could tell him what his scumbag son is saying about him online.

C'mon Tav, you've been around long enough to know how this is supposed to work:
SO my father was a cop. Riot duty was one of his favorite gigs.
There, that's much better.
-
And we are supposed to believe the ramblings of some drugged out asshat?
-
BTW - Tav
You're dad thinks you're really a closeted fag and you've always been a disappointment to him.

That is a bald faced lie.....unless cops only work 8 months out of the year now?

That reminds me, I was reading an article about Steve Jobs. How relentlessly demanding he was, and how nothing but perfection was acceptable. Then I remembered Taverner's post "I once worked for Steve Jobs, and blah blah blah..." So I burst out laughing. Only the most brilliant and driven people got a foot in that door, and Taverner is not one of them.
Such a liar, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to see someone slander their own father online.
