    yea some one off video without the back story, come on. Yapping like this is what get's people killed. If you think for one second resisting is the safest path then it will cost you one day.

    People don't want to do Civil Service jobs period. There was a time when Civil Service jobs, any civil service job, was at the top of the list, and that included the military. The military is having a hard time finding recruits too. So are Federal and State governments. The problem is that people want that $300k house, the wife who is a 10 white the guy is a 5, the $100k or more job with an office on the top floors with a spectacular view, and so forth. It is not the anti-cop sentiment per se, but what is seen on TV and in movies about cops. You want a good storyline, a bad cop as a villain with a person doing what they do to make things right. Sound familiar. The bad cop could be the king, the mayor, the detective, or anyone of authority. And the good person is the one who is not in authority but takes it upon themselves to make right what is wrong. It is a storyline that has been in existence since the movies were first created.

    Even my link listed a dozen of so issues, one of which is high-profile killings by police officers.

    So, you think police officers is what you see on the TV show called SWAT or Blue Bloods or Hillstreet Blues? The problem is not just police officers. Even firefighter departments are having a hard time with recruiting, not to mention the military since the days of Trump/Obama, and pretty much every federal service I know of

    When we reward the men and women who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice with food insecurity bud bend over for corporations that is hardly surprising.

    So far, I do not recall any cop even attempting to stop a bad cop, except for 1 instance. It was about a female cop attempting stop a fellow officer who attempting to pepperspray a person already in handcuffs. That bad cop ended up assaulting the good cop. Other cops just let it all happen. So you're 100% is so far more like a 2%. It's pathetic, hence you can't trust cops in the US.

    5 fired and 2 on suspension as far as I know. And I do believe the medics are also under scrutiny.

    But the thing is, that the chances of any random American cop in the US that would have joined in on the violence is just sky high. So we can eyeball all we want about the police who was present. But since it's obvious, I'm rather far more concerned about the 10,000's of other cops who weren't there. They have shown that they aint any better. The instances that a cop successfully stops a bad cop is slim to zero. While bad cops are just allowed to quit their jobs and get hired as a cop somewhere else. That, or get some job as mall security. Their whole culture is just rotten.

    At best you can say now, that since these cops are all black, and the victim is black... that no far right wing white nationalists got a hard time to do that defend the blue crap.

    The authorities figured that the release of the video would cause protests. Some people would use such protest as an opportunity to vandalize and rob stores. They also figured that at a minimum the protests would involve a heck of a lot of people blocking traffic. Hence they picked Friday night, since that's when schools are out / kids are safe at home / most people are done with their 9to5 and wouldn't be stuck in traffic due to protests. Stores would be barred and closed as well. And what's wrong with posting it on a mainstream media outlet like Youtube? Lots of people use it, and link it. They don't want to hide what was done on some iffy hard to find place. That would have been suspicious.

    So yeah. They know what they are doing.

    Others are just as clear. The thing is with people like you is that you lot do not realize that excess force is a violation of the constitution.
    The constitution applies at all times. Even when a person is resisting, than it still means the freaking constitution applies.
    And -get this- that same constitution also applies for black people at all times.

    In most of these high profile cases, it's nowhere near some life or death situation. That's just what you make from it.
    Being a cop doesn't even make it in the top 10 most dangerous jobs.
    Out of a survey among cops it becomes apparent that by FAR most never find the need to use their gun, ever.
    It's people like you who are brainwashed it's all that dangerous.

    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...officers-who-have-fired-their-weapon-on-duty/



    Also eyeball that testosteron fueled male cops who have ever used their weapon is 30%, but females are just at 11%.

    Yep. They're trying to criminally charge the paramedics that were at the scene.

    You'll never find people to do these jobs if you keep trying to put them in jail.

    There is no such thing as a "good cop" if those cops lie for crooked cops.
    Hence I conclude that there are no good cops.

    That blue wall of silence, and protecting each others back is their culture.
    And that culture causes the entire police to be full with mostly bad cops.

    You only attract people who do not do their job and violate the constitution, if you let this go.
    So you're better off without them.


    How about you go pay those people to not do what you're paying them for while violate the constitution?... when you're so eager to have those people have a job.

    That's just far right white wing nationalist nonsense. Depending what research, them BLM protests are -top of my head- 93% or 96% peaceful.

    Aha. So when black people are punching above their weight with violent crime, we also get to just never mind that when there is a high profile case of a white violent criminal? It seems you're insert it should work like that for white people, as if it's their privilege. Because -let's be honest- about all these high profile cases of black people being killed by cops for no reason, them cops are white.

    sure sure.... I saw plenty of conversations here where people defended Chauvin all the way to eventually claim he got "sacrificed".

    Speaking of the military, have you seen the tv ads asking for donations to help wounded veterans? Why isn't the federal government taking proper care of people who sacrificed their health and bodies carrying out the government's foreign policies? Only a fool would willingly volunteer for something like that knowing that he will be abandoned by the government when he has been shot to pieces.

    If they won't do their jobs, why should they be hired in the first place?

    Once again you’ve done zero homework on this topic and just make up anything that sounds like you’re defending criminals. There are many instances of officers interfering with other officers who are mishandling criminals.
    You’re the guy who said “all cops are racist” so I’d never expect honesty in your posts.

    They are necessary evil because without them this world would not be the same. It would be other chaos with the rule of the jungle prevailing

    Is it? In the UK, there were less than 60 people killed by cops in the last 24 years. It takes the US less than a month to do that.
    So there is an obvious problem with the amount of violence US cops inflict on people.

    It just figures that far right wingers rather look the other way when the 4th amendment gets trashed.
    It's right up there next to the 2nd though. It annoys you. We know.

    So go ahead and cite how many happened in the last month for instance.

    Now police departments need to start identifying cops like this and getting rid of them before they do something similar. Above, someone said see something say something. I couldn't agree more. Good cops pay the penalty for bad ones and they should be serious about getting rid of the bad ones.

    True, but how do you know the paramedics in this case didn't do their jobs? Nichols made it to the hospital alive. That's literally their job: to get the patient to the hospital alive.

    He died 3 days after arriving at the hospital. Are the doctors and nurses going to be charged with a crime, too?

    That's just it. There are a lot of cases that should have been let go. The Michael Brown incident is one of them.

    But instead, anytime a cops kills a black person, the anti-cop agenda wants to put the cop in prison. The facts and circumstances are always irrelevant.

    "They".....the good 'they' are not an evil at all, necessary or otherwise.

    What is seemingly disturbing is that communities seem to be gathering under a very large and very tall tree, collectively shaking the beejeezus out of it and then bunging a Copper badge on all of the neanderthals of any colour who are the last to fall to the ground!

    Yay for Team Winning, USA.
