She told a police officer she was in labor. The Louisville Metro Police Department lieutenant cited her for unlawful camping as the ambulance arrived. She had a baby later that day.

Body camera footage shows the moment an LMPD officer hands a woman in labor a citation for unlawful camping as she waits for an ambulance.

    Thanks for your response.

    Interesting you give that timeline because when I hear ACAB, a hypothetical officer comes to mind who joins a department on a Monday, blows the whistle on something corrupt and evil on Tuesday, and is forced to hand in their badge on Friday.

    I want to broadcast to my fellow Americans that if:

    • you are not corrupt, and
    • you will not stand for corruption, and
    • you want to try to be the change

    …I will not insult you for having a disparate strategy compared to mine or the average person’s on this site.

    Maybe 720,651 out of the 720,652 full-time cops in the US are baddies, but that last one who’s on probation because of some good in their heart - I choose my words carefully for them. They necessitate the three-letter acronym.

      That’s nice. They won’t give you the same consideration.

      By the way, the 1-2 weeks is more of a maximum, before they kill you in a “training accident” or “accidental friendly fire” because Officer Unicorn was “in the wrong place”

        Yes, Officer Unicorn, sure! One can support the unicorn nature with data, so that’s a defensible phrase.

        Officer Unicorn would give me the same consideration right? They’re one in a million in this hypothetical.

        So, why PEB - because ACAB disrespects the good one[s*] killed “accidentally”. Maybe they were even gonna get jaded and become true class traitors one day but no need to go Minority Report on them.

        *assumes at least two good officers since 1776

        btw I’m not always this stubborn about semantics - maybe often but not always, thanks for engaging
