Thank you. And now, I will agree with you. Many young cops do treat the public poorly. And there are many that are very upstanding young men, just as polite and courteous as anyone I have ever met. Unfortunately the polite cops don’t get much press coverage. The morons do.
In general I find our society has eroded and cops are drawn from our society. I don’t like it either.
Police work over the last few decades has changed dramatically. I always warn of the changes going on being made by the ultra rich associated with the IACP, the International Association of Chief’s of Police, a political, socialist organization to the bone. Obama once sat on one of their associate societies, the Joyce Society.
The push is on to change this nation and that includes the way the police operate. I’m sure I am Captain Obvious here but not many people realize the push to change the police forces as well, from the top down and bottom up as they say.
Cops are going to be like everybody else when the time comes, having to make a decision on which side of the line they are going to stand.
Pardon me, Joyce foundation, not Joyce Society.
That's an interesting observation. In my younger days, I worked in university security. The university was located in a big city. I had a lot of interaction with the city beat cops. Most of them were older men, veterans of WW II.
And I believe that they would have all behaved as poster FBD would have. If Garner wasn't doing anything grossly wrong at that moment, they would have just said hello, and left it at that.
Something certainly has changed here.
