There are literally thousands of incidents involving police officers every day. If you pick and choose the worst 3 over the last year or so some will be bad.

When is the last time you had to confront an armed, violent thug and did everything perfectly and made no mistakes?

The incidents you describe have nothing to do with what happened to Michael Brown.

I don't know what actually happened. Neither do you.

Stop the irrelevant rants.

This guy Brown WASN’T armed, and neither were the other people I mentioned.

And that was not a rant. The next time I’m going to rant I’ll try and remember to ping you.

I don’t know about the Brown matter, I reserve judgment on it. But there is NO EXCUSE for some of the outrageous behavior of LEOs in this country lately.

If they can’t control unarmed elderly men, and women, and children without killing them, they need to find another line of work.

(Still not a rant.)

“There are literally thousands of incidents involving police officers every day. If you pick and choose the worst 3 over the last year or so some will be bad.”

Nonsense. Criminals of all types spend most of their time doing nothing wrong or even good things. Doesn’t change that they are criminals. His list of concerns is valid. Very unacceptable stuff has been going on, and cops are VERY accepting of it.

That is the worst part jocon didn’t mention. Cops aren’t paying the price for these events. Nor is his list of 3 events anything close to comprehensive. We can add the wii shooting, 10 rounds into a hostage in CA... The list is very large.
And what most of them have in common, no punishments, and cops don’t care. That is the worst part. Cops are completely accepting of this stuff.

” The incidents you describe have nothing to do with what happened to Michael Brown.”
It has plenty to do with LE credibility, the likelihood a cop actually did this, and how much we can trust LE to have a real investigation. Very relevant.

“Stop the irrelevant rants.”
And that is just your way of dismissing perspectives that don’t meet your view point. And of course arrogantly dismissive. A very typical cop response.

And from your user name, you are probably part of the problem. A cop, who toes the Blue Line like it is the Book of John.

With witness statements and a whole lot of scene physical evidence, I wonder what could possibly be holding up completion of the investigation?

This should not be too complex considering the above.

I love your moniker BTW...
