This is why nobody trusts law enforcement anymore. The pure corruption at the highest levels. They use the the police as their goon squads.

Re: What's up with the cops these days?
 

Cop car going the wrong way down a 1 way street side swipes a parked SUV. They then arrest the man sitting in the passenger seat for destruction of city property. Surveillence videos near by showed the cop car clearly hit the SUV. Without that... this poor guy would have been convicted. Very sad. I hate that there will be virtually no repurcussions against these officers. If you find a cop doing something illegal, lying, etc the penalty should be enhanced. They should be held to a higher standard, especially since so much weight is given to their word.

I agree. Why aren't these cops charged? This is why you can never ever ever trust law enforcement nor the government. Too many bad apples out there, and instead of the system weeding them out, they cover up for them. This guy is fortunate there is film, otherwise he'd be fucked.

This describes my MP experience to a T. I went in to the Army as a bit of a hail mary, but I aced the language aptitude test and was choosing between military intelligence linguistics, or MP. I chose MP for the protect and serve motto. However one of the days on duty that I will remember as a note I needed to get out, my partner that day who outranked me had us sit at a corner and pull over drivers who did rolling stops. Absolutely about power and control, not to protect and serve.

These things aren't just isolated cases either. It's happening more and more. Imagine the shit that isn't caught. It's time to make ALL police officers wear Go-Pros. It'll protect the cops and the citizens rights.

If citizens are subjected to CCTV (which we are, without prior consent), then cops should be also.

[I]Many Americans have people employed as cops in their families, and use that fact to rationalize “the good” of the entire profession.

While it isn't something off main stream media, can you explain exactly what is wrong with the information in the article? They used Gallop polls for sources in the article and other national studies. Can you somehow prove what the article stats is wrong or using false data?

Of course he can't.

Doesn't fit the narrative of rainbows and unicorns.

So if I use some info from lets say the F.O.P. ,that would not be bias at all ,according to you .

What, if anything, are you trying to prove with that document? Nothing in it refutes the article cited above.

Just for clarity sake can you answer the following questions:

What percentage of cops do you think abuse their authority more than 1 time a year?

More than 6 times a year?

More than once a month?

Also I don't mean horrendous abuse ie telling an unarmed homeless man "this fist is going to f*** you up". I am talking about any use of their authority to gain perks, intimidate others, or to flout laws they then enforce on others.

I am the opposite of that my Dad was a cop and a serial wife and child beater (me) hope he is rotting in hell now if there is one. He learned from his peers how to inflict pain with out leaving lasting marks. My uncle was a cop, he got fired for stealing drugs from evidence lockers. Also had relatives of friends who were cops who in their off time would go to bars and pick fights then they would all jump in and beat the hell out of a guy 3 on 1 and show their badges and get away with it. Sure they aren't all bad but there are lots of bad ones.

If you'd actually listen to him, he's actually one of the most well-educated historians you'll come across. He does his homework whether you like the way he presents it or not.
