Since when did FR become a cop bashing site? Sure there are some bad cops out there but the majority are good.

The purpose of this site is to discuss corruption in government, among other things. Cops = government. Bad cops are very much fair game in this context.

Personally, I find the idea that "all men are created equal" to be incompatible with the idea that cops should be able to legally use deadly force under conditions that would get citizens charged (and usually convicted) with crimes.

If that makes me a "cop hater," so be it.

Agreed!!! I think cops should be held to a higher stand than ordinary citizens.

We should discuss corruption in Government and bad cops. Doing so does not make one a ‘cop-hater’. The problem, once again, IS MORALLY EQUATING THE SHOOTING OF AN UNARMED MAN BY A COP TO THE EXTERMINATION AND MURDER OF JEWS BY THE NAZIS.
Also, people assumed that the cop was in the wrong legally when the details of the shooting are not yet known. My entire point is not whether that cop is good or bad....it is MORALLY EQUATING THE SHOOTING OF AN UNARMED MAN BY A COP TO THE EXTERMINATION AND MURDER OF JEWS BY THE NAZIS.
