and yes, there are bad ones.

I agree with the above, but that's not what some are posting. I will give you there are many who have probably not posted what they truely mean, but it's hard to say without clarification. Thus, my comments.

I also agree there are cops that shouldn't be cops. I have been involved in removing more than a couple of these over the years.

lol this is just like black people that walk around with a chip on their shoulder thinking to themselves "he's calling me a ****** in his mind"



you want honesty? fine.

I think the cop in the video is a dipshit that fucked up and I hope they make him pay.

furthermore, I hope every apologist cop lover and walker of that thin blue line has something similar happen to them or a loved one at the hands of dipshit law enforcement, so that when they say "But without knowing EXACTLY what was going on in the video, it's hard to say anything." those words taste different in their mouths.

now I'm going to say this one more time, even though it won't matter to some: I don't hate cops.

I hope every good officer, especially the ones here, stays safe and protected by the Almighty every day.

What I do hate is: 1. Cops who want it both ways. Who say "we are the intrepid defenders of your freedom who run to danger when everyone else runs away, doing a thankless job nobody else will do" OR "we are only human and make mistakes just like anyone else" (depending on which way the wind is blowing, the latter usually said after they fuck up)

2. Cops who get away with things that I'd get in trouble for. (speeding, talking on the phone while driving, shooting dogs, abusing their station, etc.)

3. Dismissal of mistakes on the grounds of statistics. (it's not that bad, the vast majority of times this never happens) .. yeah, tell that to the guy who's paralyzed for life.

there's more but I think you get the point.

so that's my opinion.

don't like it? cry harder.

maybe you'll feel better.

THIS^^^^ +1

I am no cop hater either. I also hope the good ones stay safe daily.

But in all honesty the more of them I deal with almost everyone has an attitude or chip on their shoulder as mentioned.

I always give a friendly smile with a wave/nod to officers while in traffic. You know how many of them wave back? 0. That's right not a one. They either looked at me like like I was doing somthing foolish or just turned away with no acknowledgment at all. To me that's an asshole.

+1 Elhuero & SU405

Cops should have term limits. The power goes to their head.
Funny thing is all the cops I've ever known are good people. I think something happens when they put on the mirrored sunglasses and macho mustache. The attitude seems to go with the glasses.

I hope he's released from prison with an asshole the size of a coffee can.

I find this statement very curious. Maybe you are right and I'm just not a critical thinker. But your statement leads me to believe that it's OK to trash our governors, senators, and our president. But don't be critical of my hero cops. Because I sure see a lot of criticism of our elected officials which we can just be voted out. But you seem very sensitive to criticism of our domestic military force (police) that can not just be voted out when they overstep their authority.
