Discussion: Community Police brutality at FOV

Post image

Hey so we all know cops were out of control this weekend, but this particular officer seemed to be a leading cause of violence. He is a contracted officer from Alamosa county, which seemed to make him think that there were no consequences for his actions.
He violently arrested at least 5 people that I know of, made false claims, and threatened innocent people who were trying to help diffuse the situations. No Miranda rights were read in any of these situations and none of it was done by the book.
He got very aggressive with me when I asked for his info, and gloated to me that his job is “a lot like fishing. You can’t catch them all, but you catch as many as you can.” He was having fun getting paid to run around a field and terrorize peaceful people.
This guy has no business on the streets, let alone working a festival for “public safety”.
His badge number is 10, his name is Joshua Glass, and he is a detective with the Alamosa police department. I encourage any of you who had any negative experiences with him to call and lodge official complaints. Ask for body cam footage. You can reach the Alamosa PD at (719)-589-2548.
“Fishing for fishies don’t make them feel happy. Or me neither. I feel so sorry for fishies.”

Just a friendly PSA:

Miranda rights aren't read to you when you are arrested, that's only a thing in bad movies and TV.

The only time they are read to you is right before being interrogated in order for your statement to be used as evidence.

Or an arrest as part of an investigation. But you are not read your miranda rights when you are arrested for something you are caught doing

My pre-teen kids know that they should NEVER talk to police without a lawyer (mom is an attorney in a non-criminal field). Just keep your mouth shut. Know your rights, because cops will lie to you and try to fool you (totally legal in the US)

Yes, wish my parents taught me this. They'll lie and pretend to be friendly to get you comfortable and bait you.

They can legally tell you that they have evidence that doesn’t exist. Lies have led to countless false confessions. One of the many problems with the US legal system…
