What's the answer then? Stop policing?

Should people really get to decide HOW they want to be policed? Sounds risky.

I read that the other day meant to post it. Wered did you read it at?

[Don]

Frank I'm not at all sure that you are not just about right with your post. That just may be what it will take to wake people up.

THANK GOD I'M RETIRED!

I think Frank has hit on a point too. I believe that while there are some hardcore police backers most of the population of sheeple believe what they are being fed by the news sources and could careless about the true facts. Maybe the sheeple need a big wake up call and let common sense take over once again.

What irks me the most about this stuff is that its only "racism " if it's white males against people of color.

If its the other way around , everybody looks the other way or ignores it totally.

The best solution is to go out and HANG every news reporter that pushes this stuff and intentionally inflames it and stirs up the sheeple types that aint smart enough to figure this stuff out.

You know that will not work for if we do that we are purposely suppressing the news to keep the sheeple in the dark and they will not go for that either.

Frank has a good point. We too have made arrests and have been told, Did you have the arrest him/her? Or when there was a protest and a group of people were arrested the administration actually wrote a letter to the prosecutor requesting that the charges be dropped. They didn't want the bad publicity!! And as a result of that there are officers currently being sued (personally). I'm glad I was off that day.
The people want no enforcement action taken unless it adversely affects them in some way. They basically want "reactive" policing. One officer told me, "If I didn't SEE it happen, it didn't happen". That sure saves a lot of paperwork.

While I agree that many people are stupid, and just want you to shoot the murderer in the arm to wound him, your statement shows that you do not understand who is supposed to be making the rules.

Once a suspect is restrained, an officer's right to use force against him ends totally, no matter how violent his previous behavior.

I have no idea where that is at but thats [email protected]#t. I must have read it wrong. If the cuffed stills breaks bad they need to be restrained.
At any rate I am neither black nor white. I am an officer.
The biggest eye opener when I started this job is that people don't care what color you are. They only see blue. I have been called racist a lot. I am Asian!
