Re: San Francisco police chief says making suspects sit on ground is 'demeaning'

Irregardless, it is a bad policy and makes the officers jobs more difficult and dangerous.

I suspect the police chief knows better than you on this subject

So San Fran is going to outfit their Pattywagons with leather seating and cocktail bars? :drink

Bronze poles in the middle with music and a glitter ball.


Its possible this may have something to do with the environment.....

Why is San Francisco ... covered in human feces?

You would be wrong in that case. I come from a family of police officers.

Funny that this is your take and have absolutely nothing to say about what the thread is about. Why even post at all?

Here’s my take on the thread: I don’t care.

As one who lives in SF I shrug my shoulders when reading this. We have so many other issues this doesn't really register.

I suppose the police shouldn't be stopping them at all cuz that's like discriminating or something?

I'm all for responsible policing and tend to have a hyper-libertarian view of law enforcement as generally criminal agents of the state, but nowhere does it say anyone is entitled to standing over sitting and vice versa.

Yeah, it definitely is something.

Re: San Francisco police chief says making suspects sit on ground is 'demeaning'

Police officers in San Francisco may no longer demand that suspects – whether handcuffed or not – sit on the ground or sidewalk at a crime scene, the city’s police chief writes in a department memo.

The practice is viewed as “demeaning” to suspects, city police Chief William Scott has determined.

Making handcuffed suspects sit on the ground is for their own safety. Even wearing handcuffs, a person can still run, and if that happens police will have to use more force, like tackling him to the ground or possibly tasing him. If he's sitting on the ground it'll take him a moment to get up, and the police can restrain him right there. But this genius police chief thinks that respecting suspects is more important than protecting them, and protecting the public.

Its a dominance thing, not a safety thing.

At least they are giving free needles to drug addicts. I am sure that those NEVER end up lying in the street

Re: San Francisco police chief says making suspects sit on ground is 'demeaning'

Whether it is or isn't demeaning isn't really a concern of mine. Let's say it is demeaning - I still don't care if they are demeaned.

I've been forced to do it on a motorcycle traffic stop while they ran the plates. At least the guy was polite and apologetic about the policy.

Its really just more bully-boy nonsense designed to intimidate.

He didn't let you sit on his bike? That's mean! LOL

that was just a proposal, it didn't pass. But one doesn't have to look to hard in certain areas of the City to find used needles. What's most sad is when they show up on playgrounds. Kids shouldn't have to deal with that.

And yet straws have been deemed the real threat to public health.

Sigh. Only in places like San Francisco. . .

Does anybody else feel sometimes that we are living inside a Looney Tunes cartoon?

Re: San Francisco police chief says making suspects sit on ground is 'demeaning'

Yes, they have.

San Francisco supervisors voted unanimously to ban restaurants, bars and retailers from selling or using on Tuesday, becoming the largest city to block establishments from giving out plastic straws among a group that includes several smaller ones in California, and at least one other major city — Seattle — in the U.S.

The board cited environmental impacts as well as litter on streets and waterways as reasons for the ban.

Even if it is I don't see how it matters. I understand that people have certain rights - I don't support police officers using unnecessary or excessive force. Not at all. But that doesn't mean we need to coddle every person during an arrest or questioning or anything else.
