“For a cop to put a gun up to a young
mans head and pull the trigger, there
must have been an EXTREME
provocation.”

Not really. Roid rage, for one. Cops have a lot of loose cannons they choose to protect. Look up officer Harless of Canton. When you teach a group they can get away with murder, you’ll find plenty who use it.

I looked up Harless. Isn’t he the poster boy for what’s wrong with our LEA’s. Doesn’t the hiring process need acute attention in terms of standards? Sounds like Canton handled that situation well?

For a simple Real Estate License, i.e. to sell an fn house, you have to have “continuing annual education”. I’m not aware that cops that carry guns and have all this power have ANY continuing education requirements? Am I wrong?

Don’t cops need to be hired on renewable contracts in order to make getting rid of the bad ones easier and less costly for governmental agencies (state, local, feds).

Should cops be allowed to unionize?

There’s no shortage of questions out there.
