Today in cops gone feral

You mean to say Philly police weren’t exactly forthright when they said that bystanders did nothing while a woman was raped on a train?

 

Drive-by shooting kills a little girl. Oops, I mean cops randomly firing into a crowd after a football game.

 

WTAF?

“Officers Enna and Tabaco are the embodiment of what it means to be a law enforcement officer. They understand their job is to enforce the law and keep us safe,” Hummel said. “I appreciate how difficult it must be to report a colleague for their misdeeds. These officers put service to our community ahead of protection of a colleague; I’m proud of them.”

In a statement, Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz said Uballez was placed on leave while the incident was under investigation.

“Police officers must make decisions in tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving circumstances,” Krantz said. “A police officer’s decision to use force in that split second may have a long-lasting impact on the person force was used on, the officer, the agency, the community, and others. Because of this impact, force responses by police officers deserve scrutiny. When a police officer decides to use force, we must call on ourselves to be accountable for those actions and accountable to our community by ensuring a complete and thorough investigation.”

He said The Bend Police Department’s “Policy 300 – Force Response” Bend Police Department Policies | City of Bend (bendoregon.gov) sets expectations for police conduct.

Officers are frequently involved in interactions that may warrant using objectively reasonable force in carrying out their duties, Krantz said.

“As guardians of our community, our police officers will hold each other accountable to the highest standards possible. In this instance, two Bend police officers met my expectations when they displayed a high degree of accountability in reporting actions that they believed fell outside the reasonable force standards. No matter the outcome of the investigation after reviewing all available evidence, the display of integrity by these officers should be recognized and respected,” he said. “Our Bend police officers pride themselves on providing excellent service to our community, and this alleged misconduct by one employee does not reflect our department’s ethos.”

Bend City Councilor Anthony Broadman issued a statement on Twitter.

“I’m grateful for a police department where our officers hold each other accountable – to the same high standard we expect of them,” he said. “Thank you to the women and men of Bend PD and for DA Hummel’s support of our officers.”
