“It is for their own safety.”

So what about the safety of the citizenry? This crap about the primacy of “their safety uber alles” needs to be addressed. Aside from actually interfering directly with law enforcement, there should be no strictures on video and audio recording of the cops in action. No cop should be able to interfere with an interested bystander who is recording their actions and there needs to be clear laws regarding this practice together with legal penalties for any LEO abridging that right.

You read more into my statement than is there, but it is understandable.

“It is for your own safety” is a common phrase from cops abridging someones rights.

In this case the phrase is applicable to LEOs while not abridging their rights.

There needs to be a lot less abusive and corrupt police officers walking away without a trial and prison time for violating a multitude of laws.

Union mentalities and Homeland inSecurity are transforming some of them into unprofessional, dimwitted thugs with even more cops and politicans taking up the role of making a bunch of unethical excuses for the bad apples in their ranks.
