Since this thread has been bumped anyways I'd like to share that the direction of the country went wrong before this when cops went from "serve and protect" to "patrol and control"
I have friends that are in law enforcement as well.. from a county sheriff, to several beat cops, sergeants, etc.. all of them are nice as well, well all but one, he's a complete dickhead (I guess he's not really a friend)
The 7 cops you know and bbq with are your friends, of course they're nice to you, you haven't seen every ride they've been on.. and maybe they're like that out in the field too.. but there are more than 7 LEO's in this country
It's a stressful job but if you can't put up with it, then quit.. any other job where you do something like this you're out, a cop should have to find his own way after something like that as well
Who is a cop to tell me whether to sit down or remain standing so that he can yell at me? That's ridiculous... and he had no reason to even touch the kid.. if the kid did so much as put his hand to the guy to back him away it's "assault"
What happened to police not being above the law? What an apologist you are.. it's this complacency with the steady decline we have in giving up our freedoms and even comfort that's an issue with this nation, not some kid saying dude
