I have no reason to like to you, so you can believe me when I tell you the only examples of significant police misconduct I learn about from the mainstream media are those which are so spectacular they cannot be ignored. For one example, how many times have you heard about the outrageous and menacing increase in no-knock raids all over the Nation, most of which are for petty drug nonsense and a substantial number of which are mistakes?Hear it WHERE??? IN THE MEDIA??? Newsflash bud....the media is interested in making cops look bad. If cops speak out against corruption....where you expect to see it? Fact is....LOTS OF them do. High ranking ones particularly (because policy usually forbids low ranks from publicly speaking). You just don't hear it because media doesn't cover it. Go to community forums with police and events they put on. Just don't expect CNN or NBC...or DontTazeMeBros "Free Thought Project" to cover it. Bad cop is good business for them
I didn't hear about the topic example, the cop shoving his finger up the guy's ass to check for drugs, in the mainstream media. If Don't Taz Me Bro didn't post the local report I would never have known about it, as is the case with the vast majority of Americans -- who would have no idea of the perverse direction our civilian police seem to be moving in.
These examples of egregious police misconduct are happening because police nationwide are acquiring the notion that it's okay to behave this way. Too many of them have become relatively uninhibited in their actions. And as I've mentioned several times before, much of this problem can be traced to the authors of Universal Procedure, to training personnel, to irresponsible union management and, mainly, to ineffective supervision.
You are so ignorant of the truth of law enforcement I can't have a serious conversation about it.
Of course...you get all your info on police abuse from mainstream media and alternate news websites that hate cops. So of course....you're gonna have a fair viewpoint on cops (sarcasm).
