What the heck is going in this country? Just what kind of people are being hired to be policemen? I have never heard of so many shootings by police.

I blame a lot of it on the current cop movies and TV shows.
The cops today grow up seeing TV/movies with cops in full swat gear, yelling “Get on the ground. Get on the ground NOW”.
There seem to be very few “good old boys on the beat” today.
The same kind as always. Two things (at least) going on. More coverage of these outrages since the internet broke the monopoly the government/police worshiping MSM had on information , and as police everywhere get away with more and more they get emboldened to push the envelope further
LEOs and the military are chosen and trained by products of America’s amoral, anti-American education system. The idea that LEOs and the military could be some sort of repository of moral behavior is irrational. This irrational belief will cost many Americans their lives, and, sadly, FReepers will be among the victims.
My personal theory? They are purposefully hiring thugs whom they can count on to follow orders, even illegal orders. One thing about those thugs, though, is that they have a low tolerance for actual danger.
