Those on the other side of the argument than I am insist that bad acts by cops are few and far between, and perpetuated by a minuscule minority of all cops. If so why are stories with videos like this so easy to find but no one seems to find stories and videos of cops behaving heroically and professionally. So many have dash and body cams that record their interactions, if the good stuff was happening all the time you'd think we'd be as overrun with good cop videos as we are of frat boys lighting their farts. Had this woman been a black teen aged male,would the outcome have been tragic instead of just annoying and illegal?

How often do people post them? Good cop isn't sexy and doesn't sell. Do you really think you're asking a serious question?

Similar to the ignorant beech that flat out told me on Twitter that when it comes to gang violence and cops, she "doesn't listen to white people's opinions." Yeah, not listening, no matter who you are, is part of the problem.

It's not that it isn't **** and doesn't sell, it's that the sheeple need to be riled up in order to remain in a war-minded state.

Wait, I thought the NWO was putting the sheeple to sleep?

So confused. :confused:

If you're confused, try living in Flaggy's mind sometime. The conspiracy levels run so deep that you don't even know, man. You don't even know!

I think the main issue is the almost cultish mentality that has developed among police officers. The "thin blue line" has become a thick blue wall. It's very much an "us against them" attitude, to the point that they've almost closed themselves off from the rest of society. You see these stories of things police do and almost never see anyone from police speak out against anything. The majority of police officers may be "good", the problem is that they do nothing to root out the "bad" so the "bad" seemingly runs the show.

Seems that they have a Union-like mentality.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It was like a ball on the tee. You just gotta hit it

That's because if the "good" blow the whistle, the "bad" root them out. Plenty of instances of this, even within the last year.

This is nothing new. It's been going on for so long as there have been cops. Whether it's cops on the Capone payroll or cops protecting drug lords in Miami or New York, "clean" officers look the other way. It is this belief that if you turn in another cop, when the time comes that you need back up, it won't be there for you.

A real good recent movie on this is The Seven Five, a documentary on the corruption in the 75th Precinct in New York thirty years ago. Part of the movie is a series of clips of the main culprit, Michael Dowd, testifying before a committee investigating police corruption. He was extremely nonchalant regarding the fact that he was on the payroll of major drug lords, and stealing money from criminals within the plain knowledge of other cops, but with no concern they would turn him in. It really points to the need to have law enforcement from other agencies investigate misbehavior by the police.

As an aside, one of my favorite lines from the movie was Dowd's statement to the effect, "forget Beverly Hills. The richest neighborhoods in the country are the ghettos," referring to the tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash hidden in vehicles or run down businesses or apartments in what are clearly neighborhoods of very poor people.

I've watched The Seven Five. It's a * good film and it's where I was kind of coming from with my earlier post. Problem is people regard those things as just isolated to various "big city" PDs like NYC or LA whereas it's really a nationwide, really even worldwide, problem.

One could say the same with non-white communities. The latest case I have seen is the Jamal Clark case in Mpls. There were shouts of "justice" and "transparency," and despite EVERYTHING being released (including something like 57 videos of the incident), it was not good enough. IMO, the groups had "justice" and "conviction" mixed up. It was a lynch mob in my eyes.

I see no evidence that when this IS done the results are any different. A cop or district attorney in one town is just as likely to have found a cop in another town acted justifiably. In many places, the state police will step in to "investigate" alleged wrong doing by local or county cops. Makes no difference. They protect their own. The only thing that will change it is when voters demand it by electing people who will take seriously the need to clean up the mess that is law enforcement.

Great documentary tonight (or possibly at other times depending on location) on PBS by the way about the proliferation of SWAT teams and the militarization of the police. The central figure was a long time Utah sheriff who started his county's SWAT team in the 1970s.

While that is true, the difference of course is Cops have the ability to deny you freedom. They have a power that the protest crowd doesnt. (and no blocking traffic is not the same thing)

How much transparency could there have been if you're not even 100% sure on his name?

Their priorities are definitely racially motivated. I remember watching a rally that I believed was about going after the issues we have been describing. Once they started bringing up Trayvon Martin and a number of coloured folk, that basically told me the whole thing is completely motivated by race and not by "justice". Sorry Soros-funded folk, you blew it again.

If you want to point at corruption, look no further than militarization that has come from pork spending. They're intentionally looking for war. Is it any wonder why some protesters hold up mirrors?
