American Fugitive ROBERT EDWARD SHEARER JR and His Filipino Wife Detained for Disturbance; Arrested for Overstay
Re: American Fugitive ROBERT EDWARD SHEARER JR and His Filipino Wife Detained for Disturbance; Arrested for Overstay
They do, but I wouldn't hold up Cambodia as the hallmark of quality policing. We've seen police try to stop rich people in SUVs who get out of the vehicle and smack the cops around. If you want to argue that US police are too aggressive, power-tripping, militaristic, etc. that's fine, but a similar argument can be made that Cambodian police are toothless and totally ineffective, and this lawlessness is one of the major stumbling blocks impeding Cambodia's progress towards becoming a developed, civilized country.that genius wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 7:38 am
LOL. They didn't get beaten up, he did. One or two of them got hit. My point is that they take way more crap than western cops before they get aggressive. Open your eyes.

My point is that Cambodian cops are slower to use force or deadly force than in the US.
The society as a whole is way less violent than the US...perhaps the US could learn something, or is America so far ahead, so superior morally, that no one (except Israel and a few other paragons of virtue) can teach them policing methods?

Without judging anyone I would just like to mention that the odds of a person being spoken to or traffic stopped in the US being armed is far greater than in Cambodia. Maybe a reason for greater violent confrontation by percentage.

The purse snatchers and negligent drivers who get beaten to death by mobs may disagree.that genius wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 8:16 am

Because Khmer cops don’t impartially enforce the law. So then mob justice is a default last resort.Cam Nivag wrote:The purse snatchers and negligent drivers who get beaten to death by mobs may disagree.that genius wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 8:16 am

When was the last time a real okhna driving a moto was stopped and fined for not wearing a helmet? Or an illegal logger arrested and charged?
How often have celebrities been pulled over by the cops in the US for speeding/erratic driving, found to have drugs, and arrested? Lots!

When was the last cop who shot/caused the death of an innocent black guy prosecuted in America?
How many were not prosecuted?
But you're talking about parking/traffic violation tickets in Cambodia, presumably to illustrate what wonderful guys the police are in the US.
The logic fails, I think, no offence.

Cambodian cops don’t generally stop those that might commit violence on them. Those that provide tea money get stopped. Thus foreigners get stopped. Okhna don’t. Or if they do get stopped, the cops apologize for their mistake.Arget wrote:Without judging anyone I would just like to mention that the odds of a person being spoken to or traffic stopped in the US being armed is far greater than in Cambodia.

Cops don’t cruise neighborhoods looking for random black men to shoot. They were called because of a crime in progress or in a high crime area to prevent more crime. Innocent criminals don’t charge at the police.that genius wrote:When was the last cop who shot/caused the death of an innocent black guy prosecuted in America?

Every time an officer discharges a weapon, there is an investigation and usually a grand jury - a group of ‘that genius’ people who decide whether or not the officer committed murder or self defense.
Would you prefer that cops must be shot or stabbed first before they can defend themselves?

That’s why jury duty is mandatory.prahocalypse now wrote:Grand juries in the USA must be awfully busy.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 9:24 am
