Spare the, “They are part of the human race” BS.
This isn’t what is happening in LE for the past 30 years...
The neighborhood cop of the 1950s now resembles part of an occupying army. I can give you thousands of examples.
This is no secret.
I grew up in Brooklyn and have seen my share of everything and it was justified.
I once even got pulled over as a young man by six cop cars and the police came running out with guns drawn. I cooperating, was shook up but it was OK.
Someone with my kind of car just robbed a place near where I was and I was in the area.
They have a job to do and there is no certainty as to who it is they are dealing with from moment to moment. What I can tell you is the culture in the last few decades has been getting more stupid and into drugs, so the behavior of the population has been moronic more often than in the past.
You can remove bad apples as best you can and maybe figure out a test to weed more potential bad people out of a profession, but the profession is needed to maintain safety IMO.
Looking at all the messed up kids coming along from parents to selfish into their drugs, I do see this getting much harder for police to handle in the future.
We are devolving as a culture at this time and drugs leads the way on the reason for it.
