Asset forfeiture, wrong-address no-knock raids, deaf people who can’t hear spoken commands. Seizure of surveillance tapes from stores in which suspects were beaten to death by officers under questionable circumstances. “Accidental” erasure of tapes in which suspects died in police custody. Multiple officers standing around, doing nothing, when one officer assaults and kidnaps the chief nurse at a hospital who was following medical privacy laws (i.e., who refused to bread privacy laws). The list goes on.

“The list goes on.”

It certainly does and I’ll be looking forward to your list of things where cops helped people.

I’ve been around a long time, as has my wife, brothers, sisters, relatives, and so on. None of us, to a person, has experienced any of the maladies you mention. Go live your life & be respectful to police officers. You’ll be fine.

Your list jumps all over the place. Concerning asset forfeiture, Congress takes the blame not police officers. They only take the cake that is given them.

Wrong-address no-knock raids, deaf people who can’t hear spoken commands is incompetence or poor training, not corruption.

Seizure of surveillance tapes from stores in which suspects were beaten to death by officers under questionable circumstances. “Accidental” erasure of tapes in which suspects died in police custody does not seem to be an epidemic. Plus, the way you find out about it is when it is brought to light, which means nobody got away with it.

I despise the fact that police departments across the country have become so paramilitary but the fault lies with the misguided "War on Drugs" or "War on Crime" politicians that come up with the programs and policies. The individual patrolmen and troopers are not the enemy of our citizens.
