so projectbane were you by any chance one of these peace officers involved.....why are you taking what another poster said so personally??......or are you a cop lover ?? hate people having rights to free speech ??
what these police did in the video is outragous...yet you seek out to heckle a poster based on his opinion of the situation....that is just poor form
See how narrowed minded you conspiracy people are.

Wow.
In the face of a video that shows a cop beating down a man for a parking violation, a swarm of cops coming into the neighborhood to confiscate video evidence of their crime and the fact that two of the cops have now been charged with crimes in the incident.... you support the cops.
And you have the nerve to call anyone else narrowminded?

Yet they haven't!! And never will.
1) They don't truly believe they are being mistreated (because all in all a few isolated case do not mean anything)
2) They know that having the police is actually better than not!
3) Cowardliness runs deep in the civilian world. All talk, no drive

It seems to me like it's more an issue of politics than anything. No one wants to be "soft on crime" by calling for reforms on the police. The public is also quite vengeful and wants truly draconian treatment of criminals (largely again due to this belief that we can't be soft on crime I believe). Politics change however.
You're right however that people are cowards, if given distractions and basic comforts people are very unwilling to risk them by fighting back against anything.

I agree, politics seems to be a hindrance to the way police officers now conduct their jobs. Unrealistic targets put pressure on the police departments to produce quantifiable results that in turn are demanded by the public. This has caused a mishandling of how a police officer is expected to perform his/her position.

Depending on jurisdiction and state to state law, you would have to ask one. Why don't you contact the department you would like to know about and speak with them directly, you know......do some actual research on the subject as you seem to wish to know. Its really quite simple.

well i asked you because you act like you actually know the answer.......!! i wanted to hear from this vast wealth of knowledge you claim to have
instead of an answer you just give a snide comment...
i have no interest in asking those working within the department because of the simple fact they will lie through their teeth ...as is blatantly obvious by their conduct

And what claim did I make? Another gross misrepresentation of events. Well done.
A snide comment? again, your lack of understanding the content of a post astounds me. But then again, a person who makes wildly unjust and conclusion jumping statements is someone not to be taken seriously. LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH? You didn't give them a chance to present you with an answer but immediately assumed they would lie.
So, what I will do here is assume you are limited in your ability to garnish proper research and just sponge of others who present an idea that conforms to your beliefs. A self defeating personality is not a fine quality.
So you have been lied too on multiple occasions personally? Or is this another baseless claim on limited and unsubstantiated facts that you have read from the MSN (a source that is very much derided on here, unless it fits a conspiracy theory).
better luck getting a rise out of someone else! I stand firm with my thoughts...the police are an asset for the most part and do a wonderful job nationwide.
Enjoy your evening, and might I make a suggestion, if you are looking to push buttons please try one of the other forum more suited to your style of NO research, assumption and incorrect factual accounting (lie through their teeth). Not knowing how to conduct unbiased research is nothing to be ashamed of, many on here do not. After all, it takes effort and a remarkable determined character!edit on 12-1-2014 by projectbane because: spellingedit on 12-1-2014 by projectbane because: (no reason given)
