“The reporter videotaped the LEO and LEOs don’t liked to be videotape or photographed. The reporter refused to give the LEO his ID, and LEOs don’t like to have their authority challenged.”
While I do have my issues with those who are LEO’s who abuse their authority, got to also realize too and I am playing the “devil’s advocate” also, that MANY if not MOST LEO’s are doing so out of FEAR. Fear that they will not be going home that night, FEAR also of being the next LEO having a funeral service for.
If the LEO lets his / her “fear” of not going home cause him / her to become little tyrants and thugs... They are in the WRONG line of work.
Being a Police officer is a dangerous line of work. People who are OK with the inherent risk of being a police officer should be the only folks allowed to do the work. Its when you get the little sh-ts that value their own asses over the rights of the people who they work for that you get over militarized police forces and thugs with badges.
Honestly... I think we need a LOT less police and alot more armed citizens. Why make a cop shoot the guy YOU should have shot?
People should be scared to effin death of other people... Not the damn police.
