Just wonder how long qualified immunity is going to last they just had a judge in Mississippi or South Carolina. I can’t remember state that qualified immunity for police officers is unconstitutional and illegal.
Qualified Immunity & there is NO Fee Shifting in 1983. Very few lawyers will touch a Civil Rights Case involving the cops. There is NO Money in it for the Lawyer and very difficult to get over Qualified Immunity.
No it’s not it’s very easy when the law hold each other accountable…..lawyers just don’t want to do it because they all work and know each other…and qualified immunity is not a law it’s something the supreme courts made up…..it’s not a federal law at all
It is difficult to charge them because you have to prove that they actually understood the right and willfully violated it. This report will identify the areas where cops will be required to take training on, and they will sign an affidavit to the effect that they did get that training, so if they continue to violate those rights, the DOJ will have the proof that they knew the rights, so if they violate it again, that violation is willful, and now the DOJ has the affidavit that says they knew what they were doing was wrong.
@@paulastuart3488 I am explaining the reality of the way prosecution under 18 U.S. Code § 242. The prosecution has to PROVE that the cop knew that right was clearly established. Just as they have to prove your guilt in court, the prosecution has to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Arguing the point with me changes nothing. I am simply telling you why cops are rarely charged under 18 U.S. Code § 242. The action must be egregious for the DOJ to touch it. The DOJ then often only acts if the state fails to act. Policing is a state issue, not a federal issue, and the DOJ limits its involvement unless the crime is heinous. Otherwise, this is why 42 U.S. Code § 1983 exists. This allows the victim of a minor infraction to at least get financial compensation.
This is definitely one of those areas that the governor needs to step in and fire the whole police department and bring in military to do the job until they can get good cops in there
There will be no repercussions for their actions at all. It will continue to be business as usual. Policing in America is out of control everywhere from large cities to small municipalities…NOT just in Phoenix!
What was in the past is in the past. This is the way it works. It is difficult to prosecute cops for violation of rights because you have to prove that the cop was properly educated in civil rights and this can be difficult to do because police departments don't really go into rights in detail in their training. Now that the investigation is complete, the DOJ will enter into a consent decree with the Phoenix police, and a lot of the requirements to meet the decree will be to better train the department personnel on those rights in detail, and as a result of that, the DOJ will now have evidence that shows that the cop has received the proper training. If a cop shows up as being sued in the federal courts, this will alert the DOJ to investigate the circumstances of the lawsuit, and if the officer violated a right that he was well trained on, then having that training affidavit (which they will sign upon completion of the training), the the DOJ will have to assume that if the cop knew they were not supposed to do something and did it anyway, then that was a willful act . That is important because you have to prove they violated the right, you have to prove that they knew better, and knowing better, and that the act was willful. If they were trained not to do it and they did it anyway, then they can prosecute the case. This is why cops are poorly trained. The PD accepts that they will violate rights and sees this as being "Tough on crime" but when it gets so systemic that it is out of control, the DOJ has to step in and re-set the department. Once the training is complete (maybe a year to train everyone), it would be a big mistake to violate someone's rights and show up in a federal civil court because that is going to trigger the DOJ to see if that officer was trained, and if they were trained, the will prosecute the individual. When this happens to 4 or 5 officers, the word will get out very quicky that the DOJ is not messing around and that they better get their act together.
none of the investigations like this will ever change anything until "qualified immunity" is gone and officers can be held DIRECTLY responsible for what they are doing wrong. every department across the nation should be overseen by a civilian board, the members of which have no ties to any law enforcement department anywhere
I want to say thank you so much this new station for continually keeping your foot on the neck of this corrupt police department! you all are doing a great service for your state and those who don’t have a voice. You have a huge fan here in Atlanta!
The city manager and chief of police need to be in prison. We really can’t figure out why nothing is getting fixed? Maybe it has something to do with the complete lack of accountability. Let’s see how fast they start reforming policing in Phoenix when some of these corrupt bastards are rotting in federal prison!
This, and much worse can be found in police and sheriff departments, all across America. They're all out of control. They're enforcing their egos more than the law.
@@michaela6147lol that's the official interpretation of police. But as far as the law goes, every person in America is sovereign. It's why we have the right to vote. The problem is the Supreme Court erroneously granted government employees qualified sovereign immunity now the pork people think they run the show.
@@michaela6147 That's worked into the term. It's supposed to be like that, and it's true. Cops are sovereign citizens, because they are citizens but are not held to the same standard of law as other citizens.
I'm a freelancer who traveled homeless for one year in 2004-2005. The use of force and harassment of the homeless goes back to at least 2003-04. The racial and mental health profiling go back just as long, with at least 400 ADA complaints still on active file or in the old records. Most were never even given a hearing, much less a settlement.
None of this is anything new just the coverage is cameras are literally everywhere and people know how to get the info they want from them they can't hide anything anymore and operate like they can still
Jody Barr I think is one of the best. He is like a pit bull.When he gets his teeth into a good story, he falls it all the way to the end.Ya're checking out.I think it comes from south carolina one of.
The Cops work for the Government (Federal, State, & Local Thiefdoms) NOT the People. This will never stop as long as the Government is lining their pockets with your MONEY! Find out how much money goes through the Court System... MILLIONS. They don't want that stopped.
Racketeering is a type of crime in which the persons set up a coercive, fraudulent, extortionary, or otherwise illegal coordinated scheme or operation (a "racket") to repeatedly or consistently collect a profit. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.
These cops will fall back, lick their wounds...wait for the dust to settle, and then they go back to business as usual....The only real change for the this bustling metropolis is some real housekeeping in that department, from the bottom up...
they don't care, the whole three years they have known this investigation was happening but they still kept doing what they do the same way, they have the old qualified immunity to fall back on or the resign and go work in another department..
The DOJ needs to set up a hotline. That citizens can call when the Phoenix police Department or any police department for that matter is violating civil rights of their citizens.
It will change, In about a year, when all of the cops receive the proper training, if they continue to violate rights, the DOJ will start arresting them. The problem is that you can't arrest them if there is no record of them having been properly trained. As part of the agreement the city will make with the DOJ, all of the cops will receive in-depth training on the rights that they have been systemically violating and they will sign an affidavit saying they were trained. To successfully prosecute, the cop has to violate a right, you have to prove that they were trained on that right and what constitutes a violation, and they have to "willfully" violate that right.. If they are not trained, you can't meet the _willful- component, but after they are trained, if they violate the right, then the decision to do so had to have been _willfull_. I know it sounds crazy, but that is the way it works. After about a year, once everyone has been trained, if someone shows up in a federal civil court for violation of rights, the DOJ will look at the case, and if the cop was trained on that right, they will prosecute the cop. Now it will take 5 or 6 cops from Phoenix PD getting arrested and convicted, but once they see it happening, they will figure out really fast that the system is watching them and they will be held accountable. When the DOJ invests the time to do this, they don't do it for nothing, they do it to make sure that it stops and they use criminal prosecution as the sledgehammer to drive the spike, but the key is the training affidavit.
Law enforcement as a whole needs to be Restructured. Higher education requirements (A 2.0 GPA, well below the average, and 16 weeks of training is all you need to be a police officer in most states. The government has actually passed rulings that law enforcement can deny somebody for being to smart, the national average IQ score for police nationally was 21 to 22, the equivalent of a 104 IQ). Medical evaluation for Health and Steroid usage (steroids are known to increase irritability, anxiety and aggression and cause mood swings, with symptoms of paranoia and lack of emotion), psychological evaluations annually, and Term limited Civilian Oversight board.
Lol! They do not hire smart people, with high GPA's. They'd be more inclined to criminality in their positions, with insider ways to pull s*it off. A smarter criminal.. Just what we need.
There is no amount of retraining that is going to rehabilitate criminal sociopaths. The people that they hire are already damaged before they put on the uniform🤷🏿
The only way to change how police acts is to do away with how the police aren't held accountable for their actions. If they would make the police carry insurance against lawsuits. Where the police officers are held accountable themselves. Like carrying insurance for self protection. They would learn what they can and can't do. And once they can't be insured anymore they can't be police officers anymore anywhere period. But as long as the taxpayers has to pay for their screw up . They don't care and want ever change. Until they have something to lose themselves tbey will continue to do what they do.
Just like Albuquerque Albuquerque pd had an oversight committee watching them and they were behaving. As soon as the committee was stepping down APD reverted back to it's old corrupt self. Oversight doesn't work on Police Departments.
The DOJ consent decree is much different and in about a year, the remediation will be done, and after that, cops that violate rights can be prosecuted. The problem is that you can't prosecute the cop unless you can prove that they did something that they were trained not to do. There are three main components. The first is that they have to violate a right, the second is that they have to know that right and what you have to do to not to be in violation, and the third is that hey have to _willfully_ violate that right. if you don't know what you are doing is a violation, then it is not willful to violate it. If You train the cop and say "If you do THIS, you are violating a right" and the cop acts to violate that right, then that decision has to have been _willful_ and this is when the DOJ has a cast that they can prosecute. What will happen after this is that the city is going to have to provide in depth training to all of its officers and new hires (usually the new hires for 10 years into the future) on the way the department has been violating rights. At the end, they will sign an affidavit that they now know how those rights work (trespass was an area the report called out big time in the report so they will learn how to properly trespass, and there is no legal requirement to show ID during a simple trespass but they were arresting people that failed to do so). Using Trespass as a good example. A cop is not supposed to arrest you for tresspass. You are supposed to be given an opportunity to leave, and if you comply, it is all over. If a cop arrests you, or if they arrest you for not giving them your ID after they trespass you, and they have been trained on this, and the DOJ has their signature on a piece of paper saying that they were trained, then now there is a criminal case. The cop violated the rights of the individual, they were trained on that right, and the fact that they did it anyway means it was a "willful" act, and that is what you need to get a conviction.
The reason this review is so harsh compared to other departments across the country is because it is one of the only department wide reviews the DOJ has done. The DOJ is under funded, under staffed, and the political will to look into police abuse has been lacking at all levels of government. Not to mention the backlash from the MAGA thin blue line crowd every time needed reforms are mentioned. If similar reviews were conducted across the nation I have no doubt that similar problems and worse would be found. Policing itself is rampant with corruption and lack of transparency. Qualified immunity and right-wing authoritarianism have allowed this to fester to a point of dysfunction.
It's not just maga dorks propping up these racketeers. Dems have consistently increased funding for and legislated on behalf of these scam LE agencies and prosecutors.
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF POLICING IN AMERICA. Every Police department in the country must be monitored closely by a qualified civilian review board that is separate and autonomous from city and county governmental interference. It's time to stop letting police investigate themselves.
And they’re not taking inconsideration all the people it’s too damn scared to come forward for fear of retaliation… In the police chief says as well it’s 99.9 other good cops… there’s no such thing as one bad cop. They work in groups and everybody knows what’s going on in the precinct.
So a DOJ says that Phoenix PD trains their officers to escalate rather than de-escalate. I have been saying for years, and all over this country police department talk about de-escalation, but when it actually comes to training, they train their officers to escalate, they train them to violate rights, and they spend a lot of time training how to hurt people.
While the interim police chief in city manager both seem to have the public support of the City of Phoenix the rest of the world is looking at them as what a joke

Lol! They do not hire smart people, with high GPA's. They'd be more inclined to criminality in their positions, with insider ways to pull s*it off. A smarter criminal.. Just what we need.
Remember! The police department funded by the residents/taxpayers.
Has the police say all the time we have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoings
It will calm down for a bit... then get worse...
There is no amount of retraining that is going to rehabilitate criminal sociopaths. The people that they hire are already damaged before they put on the uniform🤷🏿
Why are they not being charged? Why are these people allowed to continue to be police? A report means nothing if they don't actually do somthing.
The only way to change how police acts is to do away with how the police aren't held accountable for their actions. If they would make the police carry insurance against lawsuits. Where the police officers are held accountable themselves. Like carrying insurance for self protection. They would learn what they can and can't do. And once they can't be insured anymore they can't be police officers anymore anywhere period. But as long as the taxpayers has to pay for their screw up . They don't care and want ever change. Until they have something to lose themselves tbey will continue to do what they do.
Insurance? How about arresting them when they break the law. Ever thought of that?
Just like Albuquerque
Albuquerque pd had an oversight committee watching them and they were behaving. As soon as the committee was stepping down APD reverted back to it's old corrupt self. Oversight doesn't work on Police Departments.
The DOJ consent decree is much different and in about a year, the remediation will be done, and after that, cops that violate rights can be prosecuted. The problem is that you can't prosecute the cop unless you can prove that they did something that they were trained not to do. There are three main components. The first is that they have to violate a right, the second is that they have to know that right and what you have to do to not to be in violation, and the third is that hey have to _willfully_ violate that right. if you don't know what you are doing is a violation, then it is not willful to violate it. If You train the cop and say "If you do THIS, you are violating a right" and the cop acts to violate that right, then that decision has to have been _willful_ and this is when the DOJ has a cast that they can prosecute. What will happen after this is that the city is going to have to provide in depth training to all of its officers and new hires (usually the new hires for 10 years into the future) on the way the department has been violating rights. At the end, they will sign an affidavit that they now know how those rights work (trespass was an area the report called out big time in the report so they will learn how to properly trespass, and there is no legal requirement to show ID during a simple trespass but they were arresting people that failed to do so). Using Trespass as a good example. A cop is not supposed to arrest you for tresspass. You are supposed to be given an opportunity to leave, and if you comply, it is all over. If a cop arrests you, or if they arrest you for not giving them your ID after they trespass you, and they have been trained on this, and the DOJ has their signature on a piece of paper saying that they were trained, then now there is a criminal case. The cop violated the rights of the individual, they were trained on that right, and the fact that they did it anyway means it was a "willful" act, and that is what you need to get a conviction.
"Fees for police body camera footage lead to ‘pretty steep’ charges thanks to new law." ~AZ Mirror, Sep. 3, 2024.
Garbage in, garbage out
Cops don’t become sociopaths, sociopaths become cops.
Garbage covering for Garbage! Follow the MONEY. The City Loves it!
The reason this review is so harsh compared to other departments across the country is because it is one of the only department wide reviews the DOJ has done. The DOJ is under funded, under staffed, and the political will to look into police abuse has been lacking at all levels of government. Not to mention the backlash from the MAGA thin blue line crowd every time needed reforms are mentioned. If similar reviews were conducted across the nation I have no doubt that similar problems and worse would be found. Policing itself is rampant with corruption and lack of transparency. Qualified immunity and right-wing authoritarianism have allowed this to fester to a point of dysfunction.
It's not just maga dorks propping up these racketeers. Dems have consistently increased funding for and legislated on behalf of these scam LE agencies and prosecutors.
Truth!
Yet look at the NKVD blue stripe, and look who indoctrinates them...
DOJ should investigate every Police department in the United States they would find out the problem is bigger than they imagine
Correct!
They know...
And yet not a single Phoenix police officer will be prosecuted per *Title 18, Section 242 - Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law*
Great job, keep them accountable !
Copper: I...I...I...haven't seen the report yet.....'
He would've seen that, he'd have been APOPLECTIC!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It took the doj to figure this out.
and then you wonder why folks take that knee✊🏽
To paraphrase the police captain in Casablanca…”I’m shocked”
Internet loaded with bad cops in Phoenix.
Sounds like Phoenix PD thought they did a better job of covering up than they did.
These cops are most likely laughing at this report as there will no changes and no accountability
Go after racist Scottsdale next! Yeah I said it!
Think about this, the ATF, FBI, and US Marshals do the same thing.
But their fellow gang members investigated themself and said they didn't do anything wrong😆
SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF POLICING IN AMERICA. Every Police department in the country must be monitored closely by a qualified civilian review board that is separate and autonomous from city and county governmental interference. It's time to stop letting police investigate themselves.
Also.. why not go back to the pre-socialist model?
The cop watchers and the first amendment auditors have known about this for a while
I would say a long while.
It happened to me 😔
"City of Phoenix Pays $800,000 to Settle Two More Police Misconduct Cases." ~PHX New Times, May 25, 2022.
Direct D has been trying to tell people..
The interm Chief and City manager are the first Two that need to go!!
Yep, the truth revealed, yet the gestapo police still dont face the consequences.
In other news, water is wet.
And they’re not taking inconsideration all the people it’s too damn scared to come forward for fear of retaliation… In the police chief says as well it’s 99.9 other good cops… there’s no such thing as one bad cop. They work in groups and everybody knows what’s going on in the precinct.
Take the entire Phoenix Police department to court. Charge them and jail them.
The first stage is denial 😮😮😮😮😮 !!
Thank you!
How many times has body cam video mysteriously disappeared?
Our village idiot police chief of nobody, doesn't wear one.
Phoenix... . Making cop watchers rich😂😂😂
Fascism Grows
So a DOJ says that Phoenix PD trains their officers to escalate rather than de-escalate. I have been saying for years, and all over this country police department talk about de-escalation, but when it actually comes to training, they train their officers to escalate, they train them to violate rights, and they spend a lot of time training how to hurt people.
I can not imagine how many civil rights lawsuits this report will start.
Just allow citizens to defend themselves against tyrants.
Great job🇨🇦
While the interim police chief in city manager both seem to have the public support of the City of Phoenix the rest of the world is looking at them as what a joke
Duh, now bring charges against these criminals and cowards
Remove all command staff.
The people need to police the government and police!
It's nation wide...
