Everyone please calm down.

Stop resisting!















Sorry. Seemed fitting for the thread.

Show me who said that here.

The man is looking for an argument.

Irving gave you the correct info. BG wanted to know who made the statements that lead to your opinion that you stated you got from the comments posted in this thread.

Looks like APD stated it wasn’t going on and now there’s conflicting reports.

I would invite you to go back and reread my comment.

"Reading a couple of responses has me wondering, if there’s only a few bad apples then why do cops need qualified immunity?

Other comments have me wondering why people think it’s ok for a cop to violate people’s Constitutional Rights in order to secure the cops safety. Growing up, I always thought that a big part of the respect we held for officers came from them purposely risking their lives in certain situations so as not to violate the Constitutional Rights of the citizens of this country."

That comment? I believe it was requested of you to show those comments that lead you to believe people think it's ok for a cop to violate people's Constitutional Rights.

Anybody old enough to remember the RIF campaign?

I already know that some people believe it’s ok for cops to violate people’s Constitutional Rights in order to secure their safety. I stated that comments had me wondering about that concept, because many of the comments I see here echo the same talking points that I hear from blue lives matter groups, online police forums and newsletters, personal conversations I’ve had with law enforcement officers, and the list goes on and on. I’ve also seen plenty of cell phone footage of officers stating as much, there’s an entire online community devoted to policing the police so to speak and they glamorize videos of citizens schooling cops on the law and their rights.

I enjoy seeing different perspectives to news and what’s going on in the world, to hear different opinions, and I try to take much of it with a grain of salt.

What I don’t appreciate is immediately being attacked and having my words attempted to be turned against me by triggered individuals.

Here's what I believe. There are some cops that are "bad". They are very, very few in number in relation to the number of officers in the country. I believe the overwhelming majority of police officers in this country are honorable.

No offense BG but I was told many years ago (by a LEO BTW) that you can assume that 10% of the people you encounter are scumbags. Surgeons, teachers, cab drivers, cops, poker managers, etc. Their profession doesn't matter - they're people. I have found this to be pretty accurate for the 20 years since I heard it for the first time.

I don't think only the most honorable among us are cops.
