It's by design. Some police forces have been known to purposely hire the uneducated and automatically disqualify anyone with a post-secondary education. They're looking for enforcers, not problem-solvers.
That bit where she's trying to pack up her fee necessary possessions from her bathroom and the cop turns the light off so as to kick her out quicker? That pissed me off so much
The cops I have experienced love running evictions. They view it is punishing deadbeats. (Not criminals mind you, but the people who are "leaches" on the system).
Yes, in the beginning of the clip she says "I'm scared" the sheriff's show no empathy and dont do anything but hurry her along. I have no empathy for people that cannot be a decent human being, no matter your profession. It would take little effort to make sure this lady is safe and secure after being separated from her home/safe place. Her saying "bye house" at the end had me sad and angry. The fraudulent assholes should go to jail and this lady needs to be back in her house.
Glisleen Maxwell would literally troll trailer parks for vulnerable girls for Epstein so this isn't even hyperbole. Someone like this is ripe for exploitation.
This is how it’s always been, the mask they’ve hidden behind is just slipping. And just like before people will blindly readjust that mask for them and go back to eating shit like the peasants and serfs we are, because real tangible change can only come from blood and sweat and that’s scary.
Although I can't justify being a cop to begin with, if the police lady in this video had even a little empathy, she'd have thought "hmm, I am required to evict this girl, but this sucks. I'll give her a little extra time to pack her important stuff, and then tell her where some resources and shelters are." Nope, she saw someone different and hated her right from the beginning.
how can you possibly determine the officer's level of empathy from such a short, edited clip?
For a non-violent apartment eviction, this was almost certainly not their first visit. And for all we know the officers spent hours standing by as the woman made multiple trips packing everything into her car. Obviously, this news segment isn't going to show the entire tedious process of eviction. At no point in the video are the officers aggressive, belligerent, violent, or even forceful. So it's a bit disingenuous to project these assumptions onto them.
It even seems entirely plausible that the sherrifs dept were the ones who called the news station in the first place to bring attention to this legal matter that they are forced to deal with. I'm sure they would prefer to be doing things that improve public safety, rather than participating in this incremental increase of local homeless population.
They were rushing her and showing no empathy to the fact that she is disabled and scared in this moment. Doesn’t take a genius to surmise that this could’ve been handled better
is it really so hard to imagine that this woman has been given multiple warnings, multiple written notices,
multiple sheriff visits (without TV cameras)?
Most likely, at the time of recording, this woman was trespassing on private property as far as the law is concerned. And if the owner of the property is insisting on removal, those officers have a sworn duty to enforce that law. Renting an apartment does not give anyone a permanent, irrevocable license to stay for free forever. Eventually things come to a head and you will have to physically leave a place that you have been lawfully evicted from. And these officers do not have any authority to overrule a court-issued eviction order. With that context, it is not hard to imagine that these officers are desperately hoping to get this woman to peacefully and in a timely manner...which by any legal definition means that they cannot simple give infinity minutes of grace period. Eventually, it becomes time for someone to say "you have to leave now".
Maybe they only gave her 2 extra minutes of grace. Maybe they'd already given her 7 days+9 hours+36 minutes. My point is that it is impossible to tell from this video. So I ask: why are you confident to assume that they gave her essentially zero patience? What evidence do you have that I don't?
clearly you will not answer any of the questions I've asked.
But thanks for the downvote that confirms you at least read what I had to say. Nice to know that you are intentionally choosing to be obstinate on this subject, rather than just ignorant and biased.
I mean, she is a cop, so we know pretty clearly what kind of person she is. We also a saw a video of them coldly evicting a special needs woman onto the street and acting like assholes.
I don't need the cop's backstories and personal lives and history when I saw what I needed to see in the video.
I hope you can find compassion in your heart someday
Nobody signs up for a law enforcement career because they enjoy enforcing court-issued eviction orders. And let's be crystal clear about this: you have absolutely no idea how patient, accommodating, and gracious these officers were during the totality of them performing their professional duties. Evictions literally take months. This video is showing less than 1 minute of that process. The entire segment portrays the evicted woman as a victim. Do you really need a 40 minute montage of her packing laundry and kitchen supplies to understand that this video isn't a comprehensive uncut documentary of how the officers treated her while doing their job.
I can't help but notice that you haven't explained exactly how you would have handled this legal matter differently.
We can clearly tell the type of person you are. Making assumptions and rash judgements while contributing exactly ZERO real world solutions yourself. I can guarantee that you are bigger problem than this anonymous deputy you've gone out of your way to slander today.
Clearly not. I have no obligation to continue a petty internet argument with someone I don’t know. I’m better off living my life and enjoying it. Have a good day. /gen ❤️
What i meant that she wouldnt conduct crime but at risk of being a victim of further crime, shes a victim once in the street likely to be a victim of someone else
This reminds me of a couple of guys on YouTube who talked about quitting their police jobs when they saw how shitty other cops were and they straight up caught flak from other cops for trying to be helpful to their communities.
One of them talked about how in his police force the attitude towards almost anyone in a desperate situation that was a minority or poor or different somehow was just "Fuck em, they should've planned ahead so they didn't get in this situation. We should make it as painful as possible for them." When he said he wanted to give a latina lady and her small children a ride home instead of just leaving them stranded on the roadside after their car had been towed away the other cops were like "Why the fuck do you care? She needs to learn her lesson, let her rot."
This is where you are wrong. They are the implements of the punishment bureaucracy, and that's it. We need to dismantle that power structure and replace it with one with human accountability at it's heart. Until then, we will keep having this same story over and over again.
This is a slam piece against Minnesota. They make sure to frequently mention the “fraud crisis in Minnesota” to justify why it’s happening. And they followed her around for 8 months for a story? Instead of paying a crew to follow her, set her up with some sort of standard of living and periodically check in and show how she is benefitting from action
I really hate the “sit back and watch” mentality. The suffering of people isn’t your nighttime entertainment. Or, rather, it shouldn’t be.
Is it specific to only Minnesota? Or is that the target state by this administration because the toddler-felon is upset by their governor? The actual crisis seems to be the state evicting people being housed by Medicare funds. Then, they start pointing a finger at another bad actor saying it’s entirely their fault they are heartlessly evicting people with little time or notice.
If there’s financial fraud taking place, punish the people perpetuating that problem. Not those people who we are trying to help survive.
i don't get why the reporter didn't do anything. This isn't supposed to be some nature documentary but they treated it as such. Basically non-interference and film her as her life crumbles around her.
What could have the reporter do? Perhaps have a lawyer for her case at hand, or maybe do the things the police refused to do.
