I would agree. I'm just concerned that there isn't an "official" outcry from the police departments and organizations whenever these things happen. I'm sure it's happened a few times, but after a long time searching google I can't find any "Police department condemns officer's actions" articles. I could be a bad googler though.
did not mean for it to be one sided i am very sorry it looks that way i do love our police here and always will they saved my but 4 times in 10 years and no matter what they will always have my respect and love

Every day on here I see police brutality threads. Some random cop from Tinbuctoo yells at a lady in Alabama and it's on ATS. You know what I don't see? A thread every time a perp kills a cop, physically assaults a cop, yells and goes nuts at a cop, shoots at a cop, tries to run a cop over, etc.
ATS is blatantly one-sided on this issue and it makes them look like ignorant cop haters.

Being a cop, you have to walk a thin line. There is a target on your back. The majority think you are crooked and will find anything to file a complaint. When I was in law enforcement, the department had a few dirty cops. Running around with high school girls, sleeping with married women. Just recently, a girl I went through police academy with was arrested and charged with 15 felony counts of using her official compacity for personal gain. I was shocked cause I always knew her as a fine upstanding cop. Like the post above though, there are never any threads on cops that are killed in the line of duty. My neighbor is a cop and on a stop 8 months ago, a 17 year old punk kid decided to put his hands on her. Shes had 2 surgeries and her leg is still in a cast. The point is that everyone hates cops but they are the first to respond if you are in danger.
