How about a “Hey heads up, I need you to ride in the bike lane, going such and such direction. Don’t want anyone getting hurt.”?
You know… being human and a good Public servant??
Sometimes all someone needs is a quick verbal.
Somewhere a bicycle rider is shitting themselves because someone is momentarily blocking a bike lane.

I was in the military 23 years and saw tons of combat, remotely and in person. I recently watched some police documentary and the Sgt says to the group going out on patrol, "What's the #1 mission, everyone?" and all the police replied, "EVERYONE COMES HOME". I almost puked. The first mission is the mission, the 2nd mission is safety, but wtf, they are out there just protecting themselves? And they just say it like a motto.

As a combat vet of Afghanistan and Iraq, I'd be embarrassed to act as fearful of harm as some of the officers do in such videos. When carrying a weapon, violence directed at you is part of the deal. Can't let fear of harm overcome the protective and caring role of policing. I've also seen innumerable instances of fearlessness and compassion by peace officers.

It comes across to me that most of the police I see doing crazy shit in videos are just unwilling to have the chance that they get injured or killed on the job be above like… a very small amount.
If you’re a cop I feel like a 100% prerequisite for the job is that you are willing to on occasion have your life in a decent amount of danger and you’re not allowed to just start blasting because of that. Firefighting involves having your life in danger, if you’re not cool with that you can’t do the job.
I’ve seen videos of teams of cops decked out still behave like fools. You have body armor, a helmet, a rifle which is a huge advantage, a team with you, you’re all trained in tactics… You SHOULD win almost any engagement. Calm down a bit

After I separated from the military, I interviewed in Florida for a position with FDLE. The head person on the interview panel asked me about my military background and then said, "well we're essentially a military organization too so you should fit right in"... which I found to be a disconcerting statement coming from someone higher up within a law enforcement agency at the state level and at a formal interview... and that was reflected on my face because she then asked, "...or do you disagree?!". To which my first thought was she was testing to see if I would speak up or just go along with things... so I didn't hesitate saying something to the effect of if any constabulary were acting like a military force then something had gone very very wrong with that constabulary, starting with its leadership. Which I could tell by her own reaction/body language was not the answer she wanted to hear... At which point I knew it was pointless to continue interviewing so I wrapped it up by saying I was no longer interested in continuing the interview with them. Still pisses me off to this day to think about.

That's exactly the problem with the police: they say "we're the police, everyone else is a civilian". No, motherfucker. You are the civilian police. You're supposed to be part of the community, not an occupying military force.
That's why they get it so stuck in their heads that they have to support each other no matter what. That's why they escalate instead of treating people like human beings. If you treat everyone like an enemy combatant, no shit people are gonna be scared of you and have difficulty cooperating. And if you interpret a reasonable question as an attack on your authority that merits a violent response, that is straight up gang behavior.
I am not part of the acab crowd, but you have to be blind to not realize that this is a systemic, self-sustaining problem that will never fix itself. Massive intervention is needed by the governments that are supposed to regulate these chucklefucks, and that means we need politicians with the will to challenge the gangs in blue, and voters committed to putting them in office. (That's only the beginning, obviously.)
We might not quite have the problem of the Mexican cartels here—you're probably not going to wind up murdered with your whole family if you cross the police—but they have a similar level of power, only all official-like, and they're damn near untouchable in many jurisdictions.

They're basically civilians with 6 months of training. Their job isn't to protect you, it's to uphold the law. For them, it's their day job. They're not going to die for it, and they're not going to die for you. First they protect themselves, then uphold the law. If you get helped in the process, great. Thinking the police protect and serve YOU is wrong. They protect the laws and serve the government.

M y brother was an AP in the USAF for 10 years, went to Saudi and had his barracks bombed. Got out and joined the local Sheriff's Department where we grew up and had to quit because he feared for his life. From other deputies because he wouldn't put up with the racism and brutality of the officers. In the late 2000s. Cops are asses for a multitude of reasons, but qualified immunity, and lack of records following officers to their new jobs are number one.

I cannot recommend this advice enough. I commend you for your efforts, bravery, and dedication to your community. It really isn't easy and can be dangerous even (if things are bad enough).
To your point - we had an issue with a rural Sheriff who had created a boys club with the department over the span of about a decade. It was getting very corrupt. It was especially dangerous for young women and anyone who the force didn't like for stupid personal vendettas.
I pushed hard for his opponent (a detective at the time) and advocated for him during the election. I'm known very well in the community as I own a farm and small businesses (and as I said above, I was a former Fed and LE trainer), so we got him in there despite people being afraid of being on the old Sheriff's radar.
Once he got elected he cleaned house surprisingly quickly and we've had such a huge turnaround in the entire greater community's attitude and optimism ever since.
But seriously it doesn't take someone who is known, or has political sway, or any of that. It takes someone SHOWING UP and putting in the effort. That's seriously it. It takes time and effort, but showing up and having the backbone to do so is the hardest part for anyone.
Get involved in local politics, people!!

I dislike the cops as much as any ordinary person in my country does (Germany) but I have to throw in a story from a few days ago to show the polar opposite way such a thing can go.
My bf came home later the evening before, parked on our street and must have missed a sign saying absolutely no parking. The morning after, we were in bed sleeping at the doorbell rang.
I barely registered that and we didn't get up because the mail always rings every unit in our house to just put something in the hallway. It rung a second time and a police officer called us through the open window to tell us that we parked at this spot and had to move the car.
So he had to: Look up the licence plate,
look up our address,
find our unit (which no delivery person or mail carrier ever gets done),
ring once,
ring a second time and then call in the window.
He told us they called off the towing truck and to please move our car.
They could have just towed us.

You're right - she didn't have to have her ID on her. The cop handled this situation poorly. There are ways to verify her identity to the degree required to issue her a citation.
Cops place citations on cars all the time without asking for the ID of the owner. If they cite the wrong person (maybe they've sold the car or weren't driving it), the person is allowed to correct that in court.

Land of the Free right guys/gals? To the people who say just comply... You are part of the problem. The reason the system is so frivolous is to give the armed goons of the state the most resources to subvert your constitutional rights. People will say "how easy would it be to just give ID", well "how easy would it be to investigate real crimes, with real victims"? The reason they don't is because that costs money, whereas trying to get anyone and everyone on dumb municipal code violations generated revenue for the state. Do you think you will get a fair trial that you are guaranteed by the constitution? You mean the state arrested you, the prosecutes you and the state judges you (but hey I'm sure they'll be impartial).

So in this case she can't be arrested for interfering with a peace officer solely because this is a civil matter? If that's true, then is it possible to just avoid such citations by refusing to identify yourself in the state of Oregon?

These are the kind of stupid ass mall cops that would point a gun at someone who’s about to commit suicide and demand they stop or else they’ll shoot them lmfao

I wasn't aware you needed a license to ride a bicycle... Shouldn't they have just written her up warning or a citation and been on their way?

Looking at her hands and wrists, she's not black. Second, she was stopped for a minor crime and refused to identify herself. People who do that are hiding something, plain and simple. He probably would have given her a warning, which STILL needs to be documented (thus needing to ID her), for if she gets caught doing it again. Then she RESISTED ARREST. Cop did nothing wrong. Do you people really expect him to be like "Oh you're right random lady, byyyyee!"
Reddit is dumb AF when it comes to misplaced cop hate. I've rewritten the headline to highlight what actually happened: Not-black girl refuses to identify after committing minor crime, gets warned about the consequences then resists arrest, escalating into the use of force. Redditors circle jerk about things that didn't actually happen.
Edit: So after conversing for a couple hours I found no evidence provided backed up any of the claims that the officer did something wrong. Just insults, which also had no grounds in reality.
Good night... youabsolutedumbfucks.

Reminder that police are fucking terrible at their jobs, and instead choose to harass people who commit the grave offense of hurting their egos

Cops need to be beat up when they do this shit. If citizens would jump in and stop cops from harming other civilians they wouldn’t do this shit

Question for the cop haters. If you were a police officer and you had to make an arrest, and they were resisting and fighting back, what is your course of action? What do you think is the proper way?

There's a reason so many people "practice exercising their rights". Is it easy to show ID? yes. But you don't legally have to, and police cannot force you to in most cases.
Its about keeping public servants as public servants and less of a gang.

If you're riding a bike in the rode, you must follow traffic rules. If a car was in the wrong lane... exact same outcome.

I heard “there’s not going to be more clarification”. Cool so you’re admitting you have no idea why you’re arresting this person but, you’re arresting her anyway.
I guess thanks for keeping people safe from other people that harm your ego.

accountability is zero among police. make the individual officers responsible for their actions, this kind of shit will happen a lot less frequently.

From CNN:
A group of officers eventually arrive to the scene, and Hansen is ultimately placed in the back of a vehicle. She was arrested for interfering with an officer and resisting arrest, according to the citation released by Oregon State Police. Hansen was eventually transported to the Benton County Jail and released, according to the citation.
The district attorney said that Hansen will not be charged. “There isn’t a statute requirement for you to present your driver’s license when you are riding a bicycle,” Benton District Attorney John Haroldson told CNN.
After reviewing the tape several times Haroldson says he told police there “weren’t grounds to pursue charges.”

You're not required too.
You're required to identify yourself in certain situations, which can be done with just your name and birthdate.

BRO 2 grown ass men forcefully arresting a teenager for riding a freakin bike. What's wrong with this people? Are their lives so miserable that they need to go on such a power trip to feel some kind of validation of their authority or feel good about them selves. Yeah like you're doing a great job abusing power and spilling more crap onto the police reputation
