I disagree, obviously.
That's your prerogative, obviously. You are, however, ignoring tons of data to the contrary.
The LEO is the law and is there to enforce.
They are not the law. They do not determine what is legal and what is not. They enforce laws that other (more reasonable) people make. Period.
By "enforcing" new "laws" like contept of cop they are going rogue.
Exactly the opposite of being "the law."
That there are some bad ones is not a reason to automatically conclude there are too many and I have seen no statistics to prove that.
Open your eyes. Look around. For every reported grandmother tasing there are numerous incidents that go unreported. Worse, none of the cops in those incidents are ever censured by their own. The rest of the force are, therefore, accomplices to those violations. That's too many.
Personally, my only interaction with LEOs in the last thirty years has been entirely positive.
For the most part that's true for me as well. I haven't been personally abused by a cop. . . yet.
I have, however, interacted with many who are abusive, obnoxious, arrogant and lawless.
Plus I've read countless stories about them being that and worse, literally getting away with murder in numerous incidents.
Whether they are shooting unarmed men in the back, tasing grandmothers, shooting dogs or draping parapalegics over a wall to frisk them they are out of control and need to be reined in.
