Agreed. The cops don’t write the laws.
We can call them bullies all day long, when it is the lawmakers who legalized the bullying.
Honestly, what are the cops supposed to do? Go out there and decide what laws they’re going to enforce, which ones they aren’t??
I’m a Tea Party Libertarian but -it’s wrong to put on the LEOs. It’ the freakin politicians who are the problem.
to put on the = to put all this on the...
Lighten up.
Cops do what ever they are told to do.
Yeah! Who do they think they are? Obama?
I’m not talking about enforcing the law. I’m talking about how they treat people while enforcing it. We’re supposed to say “Yes, sir” and “No, sir” while they can talk to us like we’re vermin. They’re on a power trip.
As for profiling and treating blacks differently, it’s a fact. A cop sees a black guy walking down the street they’re much more likely to stop and question him than they would if it was a white guy. And why is that? Because it’s their experience that the black probably did something ilegal.
Still they could treat people with respect instead of talking down to them and “ordering” people around and demanding that they “respect my authority”. That’s what a deputy told me last week. “People need to respect my authority”. He also said he shouldn’t be required to wear a body cam. I got on my bike and drove away.
