What interests me is how to maintain good policing and fix the problem.
People who serve in small, elite military units know that the men sometimes need to be brought down to earth, that the attitude of separation and being special sometimes needs to be squelched from the high spirited men.
While policemen are not soldiers or elite soldiers, they need it far more, instead there doesn’t seem to be any force that will redirect them and remind them that they serve the public during their work shift, and are not at war with the public.
Your post seems to indicate that as long as it is limited to blacks, it is OK for you, that “the hood” justifies what cops have become all over America.
IMHO I think most of this is a concoction of the media. Not saying that there aren’t bad eggs out there, but I think there’s an agenda in how the media portrays these incidents.
I thought we were supposed not to trust the media. Yet it seems many here believe everything the media says when it comes to cops.
It goes back to Rodney King, all the media showed was the part of the video with the police striking Rodney......what they didn’t show was Rodney attacking the Cops.
