“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.
I never thought of that. But, if that is the reason, why didn’t my generation grow up like that? After all, there were many shoot em up shows in the 50’s and 60’s. There were the wild west shows, too. We were taught morals back then. I am just thinking out loud. We did not have all the drugs back then either. I think some are on a power kick, too.
