So yeah.  Rob someone in broad daylight, right in front of a cop.  Then run and they are forbidden to chase you.

Awesome!

Clearly the police will have circumvent this new directive by mounting all their officers on Segways in order to pursue suspects.

What the fuck was she going on about 'welfare' for? It was hard to make out due to her being screechy, having a dense accent and not being very coherent but she was warbling on about something to do with welfare and how the reporter had a story about a woman on welfare. What's up with that?

Good grief. I couldn't figure out what was more worthy of a giant-sized facepalm, the suggestion of not allowing any chases whatsoever, or the "god bless you, you got your story, you got your story, may god bless you" warble.

Reminded me more of the village weirdo from back when I was a kid, not someone in power.

1. What the fuck is with South Carolina?

2. Note she said it was due to insurance. Expect to see more wackiness like this as health care, insurance and liability continue to spiral out of control.

We had a mental patient destroy several shelves of books and DVDs and weren't able to touch him due to liability issues. He started beating his female handler and we were advised we'd be placed under arrest (by the other female handler) if we restrained him. One of the toughest days I've had here, because I almost went to jail and lost my job to stop a retard from beating up a woman.

Liability issues?  How does that all work out?  He was harming another human being, what possible issue would there be in restraining him?

Huh? How were you going to be arrested in NY State for stopping someone who is actively engaged in assaulting another person?

They were saying something about him being under their care and some special case, I have no idea. When the caregiver tells you to step off and then your boss agrees, you step off. If you want to continue working at that job.

If the caregiver being assaulted told me to back off, okay, maybe.  I'm not sure I'd accept it from someone on the sidelines.  (Of course there's probably not much I could do, either.)

Difference there is, they're paid for it. Maybe not generously, but they're at least paid specifically for that role.

Question is, is this going to affect her political career at all?

If it doesn't then it just goes to show how democracy doesn't work due to the amount of morons voting.

I mean seriously, if people vote for her after seeing 1) how she conducted herself or 2) the retarded decree that she passed down to the  police department (are Mayors even authorized to give that kind of ruling down to the police force?) then I don't know what to say.

This may have been answered already but she was saying "WELFORD" which is the name of the town. Other than that, yeah, what a fucking pyscho dumbass.

Disclaimer: I don't know what NY state law on the matter is.

I will say that his staff are poorly trained or incompetent if he managed to assault one of them.  As a rule, if you get to the point where you need to restrain your patient, you've already fucked up bad.  That's coming from someone who teaches restraint (and more importantly, how to not have to need it in the first place.) 

Restraining someone is dangerous for both of you.  Generally speaking, it shouldn't be done unless it's more dangerous not to restrain someone.  People can and do die from improper restraint, and if you're not trained to do it then it's better to leave them the hell alone if all they're doing is destroying property.  For your own sake as well as theirs--you're much more likely to get injured than they are (although they tend to receive more severe injury)

Do call the police if you like, though.  He's liable for the damages he's done.

Mayors are generally in charge of the police force, though usually they appoint a chief of police to handle normal affairs.  The mayor will become involved in large enough issues.  They have discretion to tell officers how to perform their duties as long as they are not asking their officers to violate a law.

So would it be breaking the law for an officer to let a crime occur without interfering? Aiding and Abetting?

No, as decided by the US Supreme Court police officers are under no legal obligation to stop a crime in process.

I guess (I don't know the extent of the ruling) that it's so that police officers who witness a crime being committed by a large gang of armed villains aren't breaking the law by not rushing to certain death. Or that undercover officers can't be prosecuted for witnessing a crime that they didn't prevent so as not to blow their cover.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure why it should be a law that police have to prevent crimes. It's their job, let failure to do their work be handled by internal discipline rather than the courts.
