You are partially correct, my cop bias is only for those cops who use their badge to abuse their authority. I’m not trying to be haughty but at the very least especially with law enforcement, it should be what is right, not who has the authority. Authoritarian minded cops are corruptible if not already corrupt and all too often the citizen(s) pays the price for their Little Tin god mind set. I know some good cops and I know some really good cops and I’m sure we all know cops who should not be cops at all.

You don't know the man, you weren't a witness to the incident, so how can you pass judgment on him other than you have a hatred of cops? You don't know him from Adam...so how can you say he's an authoritarian? You don't know anything about his work history (other than what you've read from third-party sources), so how can you characterize him as a "tin-god"? Answer: you are prejudiced against all cops, and would make the same characterization of any cop in a similar situation, regardless of the fact that you don't know the facts.

I can think of a high-profile case recently in which the defendant had killed someone, and was convicted in the court of public opinion long before he was eventually acquitted. Care to guess which case that was? Give you a hint: your argument against the cop in this story makes about as much sense as the arguments of Jesse Jackass, Al Charlatan, and The Obammunist in the other.
