Yeah, I do not like this embracing of a police state we have seen since 9/11.I think the cops of today are of much better quality and better trained than the cops of the old days.Now that we have cell phone and body cams everywhere, we are finding out all the abuses people were talking about all these years that were denied by the cops were actually happening.Agreed, that guy should be gone.
Police must police their own better.
Agreed, but I would still say 95% of cops are good people and try to do the job as it is supposed to be done! Problem is those same good cops turn a blind eye to those that are not on the up and up. So maybe that makes them bad to, don't know but it is a bad situation.
They should be though, a lot of money is spent on safety forces. Are they better, maybe but I believe that police have moved from officers of the peace to more paramilitary over the last 35 years or so.
I do not either, but I believe it goes back farther. All the way back to Gates and the 80's in Los Angeles.
