It sounds really, really bad.....but lets wait till all the facts are in. Still many questions to be answered. Everyone, even police are innocent until proven guilty.

Cops should be avoided at all costs. Never call them. Take care of your own problems. That should save your life literally and figuratively a couple of times over a lifetime.
If the guy testimony is true, the cops needs the electric chair as an example. Cops should respect the law and since they have the confidence of people intrusted in them, they should have harsher sentences when they break the law.edit on 12-2-2012 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)
In Egyptian mythology, Ammit (also spelled Ammut, Ammet, Amam, Amemet and Ahemait) was the personification of divine retribution for all the wrongs one had committed in life. She dwelt in the Hall of Ma'at, who was the personification of the concept of truth, balance, and order. In the Ancient Egyptian underworld (known as Duat) hearts of the dead were weighed by Anubis against a feather from Ma'at's headdress. The hearts of those who were heavy with wrongdoing failed the test were given to Ammit for her to devour. Those whose souls were devoured were not permitted to enter Aaru, having to be restless forever‹effectively dying a second time. If the heart was lighter than a feather then the soul was judged by the god of the underworld, Osiris. [
In myth Ammit was not worshipped, and she was never regarded as a goddess. Instead, she embodied all that the Egyptians feared, threatening to bind them to eternal restlessness if they did not follow the principle of Ma'at. Thus Ammit was depicted with the head of a crocodile or dog, the front part of her body as a lioness or leopard, and her hind quarters in the form of a hippopotamus, a combination of those animals which were considered as the most dangerous to the Ancient Egyptians. Although often referred to as a demon, by destroying evil she acted as a force for good.

I wasn't going to join in on this thread until I read this ^ up here. That is a load of bull, and you know it. Cops have saved my life more than once. Are you trying to tell me that instead of calling the cops when my step-father was beating my mum nearly to death I should have "taken care of my own problems"? # that.

Well, that's what happens when you arm ignorant thugs and ask them to 'protect' you. Most cops have GED's and MAYBE a 2-year Associates degree. Being a cop is for the ignorant and most are actually unaware of most LAW, same as US Army Infantry. Guess what US Army Infantry end up doing when they're back state-side and unemployed? Yep, you guessed it; they become cops.
I don't trust cops at all. Never will.

It's probably one of the few jobs that pays fairly well, and little to no education is required.
yeah, and lower i.q. scores with little or no education seems to be what they're looking for in their officers.
Maybe those who're easily manipulated?edit on 13-2-2012 by dannotz because: add

I failed to see any video to confirm this.
I need confirmation.
Otherwise I see no reason to assume the professional was wrong.

Most times that I've called the cops, I ended up becoming the suspect because quite frankly, I don't have a likable attitude. I've never been arrested because I have never let a cop catch me doing anything illegal (not like I really do illegal things anyways), but that hasn't stopped them from throwing me against their vehicles and violating my privacy just to show me who is the bigger man.
Frankly, I don't see much use in ever dealing with a cop who's job is to deal with the lives of regular people, because they never bring some neutral attitude to the job.
And for you example? Pick up a baseball bat and kneecap him, and then call the cops if it appears that he will first. You're within your moral and justified rights to do so.
Just remember that as soon as you make that call to the cops, even by just dialing the number, you've just invited them to step into your life.edit on 13-2-2012 by Dimitri Dzengalshlevi because: (no reason given)
