Investigators say it was a case of friendly fire. The injured officer was most likely shot by a fellow officer standing behind them.

APD officer shot in the arm 'likely' from friendly fire

On November 5th, every US police officer that swore to uphold and protect the law, elected a convicted felon to be their president so that he can circumvent and overcome the same laws that they swore to uphold and protect.

Every cop in America broke their oaths.

And I am not so naïve as to think that a promise means anything, I know it doesn't. I know people lie. And I know that cops lie.

But this was the first time in history that every cop in the country broke their oaths at the same time.

And I just thought that was interesting.

EDIT: Lot of Trump bootlickers here, fun

I would like to know your experience with calgary police.

I just had a very disappointing experience where the call centre dude actually mocked me for my safety concern. do you know how much courage it takes to report something?

If this was all, it would be bad enough.

He repeatedly asking me what i wanted the police to do while failing to give me any options. He kept saying over and over that he's not a police officer, just works at the call-in place... why would they not be trained properly? it sounds like they are trained in excuses.

Bascially, he did not work with me on the safety concern, and essentially suggested we let it escalate to something extremely unsafe before we get police involved, which would involve unlawful entry into a female's personal residence with a key the individual in question is refusing to return.

This was the only option he suggested.

WTF?

[also i'm new to this sub and what it's about, not sure why this post is being downvoted?]

Throughout most of the 2023, my life was a living hell. In December, 2022, I was wrongly arrested for Domestic Violence Assault, class C Felony. Got out via cash bail, and then proceeded to lose my apartment of 4 years. So...I spent the majority of 2023 on Bail, homeless, once again an addict, merely surviving on the streets of Augusta, Maine. There was one particular incident with a cop that stands out....

Across the street from the local bodega, Country Farm (our ones-stop-addiction-shop) lies an unused basketball court, now primarily occupied by the growing homeless community. A couple of friends of mine had set up two small tents there, and overnight I stored some of my belongings there; I had some stimulants and stayed awake, wandering around all night.

Around 7:30-7:45am, I returned there to collect my stuff and change clothes. I changed out of my blue shorts into camouflage shorts, as well as my shirt. Took me probably....4 minutes. Then, two uniformed officers abruptly showed up. One of them appeared to be a rookie, while the other had a very intense demeanor.

"Before you ask, these aren't my tents, sir. They belong to ______ and ______. I just stashed my stuff here overnight." I said.

"I heard you were just out there asking for some down?" ("down" is the local slang term for fentanyl) I said No (honestly). "Hey, it's okay, I'm not judging. We know you were asking for down, just tell us." I replied with conviction "I have before, sir, but no, not today I didn't." And this is where he tied to gaslight me. "You sure? 'Cause we heard that a man wearing camouflage shorts was just seeking some." I laughed. "Dude, I literally just changed into these shorts minutes before you arrived.

Next, he asked how long since I had been drinking. Amazingly, No consumption of alcohol was not part of my bail conditions. He commented on the collection of empty beer cans in the area. "About five hours," I said. He began a spiel about me violating bail, and was incredulous about what I had said, so he called up HQ to confirm. He had even put his hand to his cuffs for a sec. THEN, once that was confirmed, he heard the ridiculous condition that I must live at my mom's in another town, and tried to get me on that. I said "Where I am required to live is not where I am standing right now. I am not on home confinement, and I can live one place and still hang out somewhere else.

"Well, consider yourself lucky; I'm going to give you a break this time. Make sure you return to your mom's soon." And I was finally un-detained.

Sorry for the wall of text...just wanted to finally vent about that BS incident.

Last night my me and my friend were handed the keys to my other friends car to change stereo settings, as he sat in the front seat we convinced each other to scare them by driving down the road and by the time we came back our friend who owned the car was on the phone with the cops and in the heat of the moment my friend who was driving drove into a rock that was in front of the parking spot which scratched the front of the owners car. The cops ended up coming and arresting my friend because she asked to press charges.

The major issue was that he had alcohol in his system, he’s 18 and blew .0798 which would be legal if he was 21 but he also doesn’t have his license.

Our friend who owns the car understands the situation now and wants to drop charges but he was charged with dui, reckless driving, driving with a license, driving without permission.

Please help out with what can be done to help my friend out he was processed and has a court date in 2 weeks.
