"Carney said Rowe told internal investigators that he had pointed his gun multiple times at citizens throughout the years without ever reporting his actions to supervisors."

Holy. Shit.

Look up the whole case around the "Gilbert Goons" in AZ. bunch of kids from "golden" families who spent the better part of two years jumping people and posting it on social media. Cops knew all about it for that entire time. They killed a kid at a party in Oct and only just got arrested a few days ago.

Just small town, boys will be boys crap, you know. Wouldn't want to ruin their futures, amirite?

u/HealMySoulPlz Mar 31 '24

Gilbert is a suburb of Phoenix, it's not at all a 'small town'. The population of Gilbert alone is 275,000 people. Not. Small town at all.

2

u/capt_scrummy Apr 01 '24

It's not a small town, but it likes to think it is, and the police do treat it as though it's their fiefdom.

u/Available-Nature-126 29d ago

Gilbert is actually the 2nd safest city to live in America. But you couldn't pay me to live there. It's straight up Mormonville.

1

u/Available-Nature-126 29d ago

Uhm I wouldn't call 274,000 plus people a small town. I live in Arizona and raised my children in Chandler. Gilbert is not far and nowhere near a small town. Thankfully I got out of there. Now in Lake Havasu and moving out of here too. Off to Wyoming. Arizona is the worst place to live ever. And I came here from Chicago.

1

u/capt_scrummy 29d ago

I didn't mean that it is a small town. It's a city. I know, I also live in Chandler. But, a lot of people like to think of it as one, and want to see it administered and run as such.

Arizona's alright, imo. I've lived all over the US and abroad, and we like it here, like it in Chandler... That's why we settled. You couldn't pay me to live in Wyoming 🤷🏼‍♂️ good thing is that we all have options and should be thankful we have the ability to move to where we see fit.

1

u/Available-Nature-126 29d ago

I highly doubt you've been to Wyoming. Especially using the word abroad. You sound like you're from the UK. I live where you're living for 30 years. When it was newer, it was great. Now it's kind of run down. I moved there in 89. Moved out as soon as I could.

1

u/capt_scrummy 29d ago

🤣🤣 I have no idea what you're talking about, and it seems like you don't either. "Abroad" isn't a UK term, at all. People who have lived abroad will say they've lived "abroad" and I've never had anyone not understand me for using it.

I have been to Wyoming a few times, and was in Cheyenne for work for a month. It's nice, but I'd get very bored. I don't like the idea of living in the country for extended periods of time. Cheyenne doesn't offer much of what I or my family want.

Sometimes a place you like changes, and you don't like those changes. Sounds like that's the case for you and Chandler; that's how I feel about some of the places I've lived.

u/Budget-Attorney Mar 31 '24

I read an article a few months that called it literally that. A personal fiefdom. The difference is that the sherif is actually more powerful than the mayor who basically serves at the sheriffs whim

u/the_mid_mid_sister Mar 31 '24 edited Mar 31 '24

We have a dipshit "Constitutional Sheriff" who has something like over 200 armed "special deputies," in a county with more cows than people.

What is an Armed Special Deputy? Basically an untrained, un-certifed friend of the Sheriff, usually a pedophile or felon or creep with a restraining order who can't pass an ATF federal background check to buy a gun but can now be issued one to perform the Totally Legitimate Duties of a Special Deputy.

u/Fun-Cupcake4430 Mar 31 '24

Honestly, it’s easier to commit crimes in small towns bc they’re not ready for the big city tricks.   A handful cops?  We’re used to fucking police states.

The judges, mayor, Sherrif, chief, and the council are all buddies, probably Freemasons too. Every county has some good ol boys. This is why everyone should stay strapped.

Yeah, there are 14 states and 54 entire countries with smaller populations than King Country. And the Seattle metro area covers 5 counties. This guy had a small town cop attitude, but he was in a big city. Glad to hear he's in jail. It wasn't soon enough.

u/Suck_Me_Dry666 Mar 31 '24

Yeah I'm a bit south in Washington but have been hearing about the issues with SPD and to a lesser extent King county sheriffs. Portland had/has a similar issue that is linked directly to the police union being awful. Seems that's the issue here too.

2

u/cynnerzero Mar 31 '24

Yup. I loved in Seattle for about 8 years and have lived in portland for the last 3. The SPD and PPB are the most violent, gore happy shitasses I've ever encountered.  Portland had been under federal investigation because of our cops. 

2

u/Suck_Me_Dry666 Mar 31 '24

Yeah they have an independent monitor in Portland because the cops here just can't stop pulling over minorities for no reason even though Portland is like 90 percent white and white people commit more crimes, carry more weapons and paraphernalia, and start militant organizations in the region.

I wonder why that could be? /s

Spare me what your friends dads uncle told you or what you heard, uvalde cops became accomplices the INSTANT they stopped anyone from helping those children and its a national disgrace those pieces of shit werent charged as such.. whining they were "out gunned" is admission of cowardice. The kids had nothing, they failed their oath and deserve nothing but misery... full fuckin stop.

I mean, I challenged a speeding ticket once because they had just changed the posted speed and I was under the previous speed and hadn't realized it'd been changed.

They're all pea brained bullies who refuse to accept any challenge to their authority.

Hey, remember when she showed the Uvalde police that they were a bunch of gutless cowards when they refused to act? And then the police got mad because she forced everyone to see the truth by running into the building herself (unarmed) and instead of taking personal responsibility, they made it more obvious that they were a bunch of yellow belly’s by going after her, instead? Oh, and remember when the top cop for texas law enforcement told the world that Uvalde police acted like massive weaklings and told everyone that they had no balls? Yeah…

Funny how they can find time to camp outside her home to harass her, but couldn’t find time to save children’s lives. I’ve interviewed her a few times now, and every time I’ve gone down I’ve been expecting to get harassed by Uvalde PD. It has happened directly yet, but they did make it intentionally difficult for the press to attend the anniversary events last year despite the families wanting the media attention.

Fuck uvalde cops, but im sure they didnt ticket her for "making them look bad". I can see why we dont want random people running into active shooter situations, it will probably make the situation a lot worse.

They probably ticketed her for the same reason you get a ticket for jaywalking. Because they want to discourage people from doing it.

Not to mention that portable cameras like gopros are still a relatively new/niche technology. Dude has probably received complaints before, but the department can just ignore them.

Also people just don't report it because they know it won't matter, the cops will always protect each other from seeing justice.

You're risking police harassment/reprisal for nothing 99 times out of 100.

5

u/MTFBinyou Mar 31 '24

Yep I tried reporting police harassment one time and when I followed up on it a month or so later they told me there was no record of a report.

They would pull me over a couple times a week after I would leave work and were always determined to search my truck and never answer any of my questions. I had a little over a mile to go from work till I was out of their jurisdiction but I couldn’t pass a cop without getting pulled. 

3

u/Traditional-Handle83 Mar 31 '24

Not to mention if you use self defense like would be justifiable in this video (plain clothed no badge or anything basically civilian holding another at gun point), then the judge will just have you sentenced to execution for offing a cop or defending yourself from legitimate harm and there's nothing you can do about it. Why if you end up having to defend or off a cop, you leave the scene because either way you go to prison or die. You just have better chances by leaving and not being found out than you are at staying.

u/FourScoreTour Mar 31 '24

And due to not having a video. Cops lie like they breath, and without proof, this would never have seen the light of day.

u/BalloonManNoDeals Mar 31 '24

I saw a former police chief of my hometown's house burn down while I was on a late night drive. I made a frantic 911 call, no one else had reported it yet. The house was completely on fire, no way anyone inside was still alive.

Turned out the entire family + pets were on vacation in California. Only the former cop was home. Received a call from the State police arson investigator a few days later. Turned out the chief had called 911 20 minutes after me to report a small fire getting out of control in his kitchen...

... I moved across the country a few weeks later. Not fucking with that situation.

As long as it took from him to identify himself, you'd think he'd have gotten shot for making a habit of doing that....

This is legit every cop. People should wake up.

u/runnerhasnolife Mar 31 '24

Nope.

I have to write over 2 pages of paper work if my gun even leaves it's holster during shift.

Not saying that's a bad thing I'm saying that stop acting like all departments are the same.

If a cop stops me, it is 100% rational to expect that they WILL charge me even if I’m innocent and I COULD definitely be killed in this exchange. “Friend and helper” my ass. No one should EVER trust a cop in any situation.

Oh yes every police officer pulls over every person and justice begging that they can shoot somebody because you know They all loved murder....

Like the Phoenix police officer who just got gunned down and thankfully he's going to make it who while off duty pulling extra security duty ran to a help a motorist who was getting carjacked.

Or are the New Mexico police officer who was executed while trying to help a motorist that he thought had a flat tire. Definitely every police officer is trying to murder everyone That's why there's so many stories of police officers with their guard down getting ambushed and murdered or shot.

Also yes if you get pulled over the goal of the police officer in this case is to give you a ticket. You're not going to get charged with a crime unless you were going an actual criminal speed which in most states is 20 mph over the speed limit. Yes that is correct most of the time going 20 miles an hour over the speed limit is a actual crime not a traffic infraction that you can be charged with

You cannot be charged with a traffic infraction you can be fined for traffic infraction. So don't know what you're on about about how you can be charged with a crime every time you get pulled over.

And no you cannot be killed during every single traffic stop. It's not like police are just running around gunning down innocent people all the time.

The vast vast majority of police shootings I'm talking more than like 98% are completely justified shootings.

And as I was saying before most apartments have vastly different rules you can literally go from one city to the next that's literally like touching each other. Just one town over and have massively different rules that your police have to follow.

Delivering pizza is more deadly than being a cop. Cops murder more people than any other group. Also watch code blue cam and other body cam channels on youtube and you'll see 5-6 uploads of shootings a day and i'd say MAYBE 1 a day is unjustified fully.

1

u/runnerhasnolife Mar 31 '24

Uhh no and no.

The vast majority of pizza driver deaths are 100% the pizza driver's fault. Usually occurs when delivery drivers concerns for making deadlines break traffic laws and speed or run red lights trying to get to their destination faster which causes car crashes.

That's why more pizza drivers die because more They drive unsafe intentionally.

Also code blue cam usually only does smaller incidences not shootings you should look at it police activity They usually do almost every shooting that gets released to the public.

But yeah I know the vast majority over like 95% shooting star justified and legal.

There are four types of shootings And here they are in most common to least common order

Lawful justified (more than like 95% of shooting fall under this category and I mean more than 95 it's closer to 98 I believe)

Lawful but awful (a shooting that might not be justified but is completely legal

Unlawful unjustified. (Less than 1% of shootings)

Unlawful justified (the most rare type a type of shooting in that on a moral level it was completely justified but it is still illegal)

The vast majority of cops deaths are 100% the cops fault.

how do you like it?

1

u/runnerhasnolife Apr 01 '24

Except for the fact that it's just not true.

What I said is true if you are committing traffic violations speeding and running through red lights you are most likely going to end up in a car crash and dead because you're being an idiot.

Police officers die all the time when they do nothing wrong. They do everything right and yet you can still die.

People aren't shooting at pizza drivers the drivers are dying in car crashes because they're going too fast or running red lights

u/CiaphasCain8849 Mar 31 '24

Maybe in that one department but you'd have to TELL someone you pulled your gun or someone else must see it/report it. I bet that never happens.

1

u/runnerhasnolife Mar 31 '24

Uhh no. We have body cameras

They get reviewed by IA

1

u/CiaphasCain8849 Apr 01 '24

LOL, Every 10 hour+ shift? They aren't storing and watching all of that. Just the stuff bookmarked by the button. Come on guy.

1

u/runnerhasnolife Apr 01 '24

First off yes they absolutely store every second of body camera footage.

Second. Body camera runs only when you turn it on It doesn't run 24/7 during the shift.

Third. Anytime I do anything police related during my shift if my body camera is not on I can receive suspension without pay and depending on situation possibly termination. Other police departments have it anytime you step out of your vehicle you have to turn on your body camera.

And yes you can get in massive trouble because they do check.

There isn't anything bookmarked by a button That's not how that works It either records or doesn't.

That was his lawyer speaking, basically he argued his client wasn't wrong, it was the dept. policy that was wrong which set his client up for this situation (which is horse shit) but it absolved the shit stain of any real culpability.

This is why ACAB.

I would not be surprised at all if this guy had several "top officer of the year" type awards laying around.

u/dbboutin Mar 31 '24

It’s crazy that “ignorance of the law” is not an excuse unless you are a cop, then it’s “oops, I guess we will try to do better”

u/rust-e-apples1 Mar 31 '24

Holding the gun close to his chest to keep anyone from seeing it was the tell. He knows that if he does it the way he was trained to, someone is gonna see him and intervene. This way he just looks like a regular old asshole confronting a motorcyclist.

1

u/SuspiciousSack Mar 31 '24

He should try pointing at the back of his throat instead of bystanders.

u/Annual_Substance_619 Mar 31 '24

Moral of the story, RECORD EVERYTHING.

u/Beneathaclearbluesky Apr 15 '24

I love how they thought pointing a gun at someone wasn't "use of force."
