Cops are in a no win situation. People are getting worse—behaving worse, and while “stats” say the crime-rate is going down—I personally don’t believe it.
The justice system is a joke nationally, and it’s very common for rapists and murderers to be back on the streets after serving a mild sentence only to be shuffled back into the system after a few weeks.
That said, when cops can kill dogs and people with impunity on a regular basis, what does that say about them?
How many of them brag about it?
How many look for a reason to use their gun?
Its the training, the lack of consequences, militarization, and viewpoint that all civilians are criminals.
I'm not sure I agree with that. when the cop walks away and the person (innocent or guilty) is dead on the ground there is a definite winner and a definite loser, and the winner is not the one dead on the ground.
