You are trying to reason with a low brow thug excuse maker of the highest order. He gives the industry a bad name by condoning the apparent growing cowardice of the police forces out there. Maybe it is something to do with quotas forcing out the good public servants.
I think it has to do with the fact that you can now be a cop without military experience, which was an unwritten prerequisite at a time when this type of thuggery didn't happen on a daily basis. This explains the utter incompetence and lack of discipline we see.
