It’s a witch hunt by the Feds and the left

And by the anti-police faction here that pretends to be conservative as well.

Oh I;ve met and argued with the cop haters who pretend they’re conservative.
When you raise the issue of them on the side of Holder, black panthers, Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, DOJ, rioters and looters then they ignore all of that.
They even ignore the problems in the black community, ignore the robbery, the attack on the cop, the lying by so called witnesses, the lies from the media.

Yes there is a few on here which pretend to be conservative but are more liberal on social issues than liberals but then again I guess they have not understood this is a conservative website.

Is it reasonable to think that the people you refer to here are simply skeptical of government power? Maybe they see that the police have a monopoly on the use of force and sometimes abuse that in a manner that sets them above the law.

Forgive me, but when I see a group with immense power and I know what power ultimately does (corrupts), I will ALWAYS be vigilant and hold that group to a higher standard.

That being said, I look at this situation and see that the police officer in this case probably wasn't abusing his power and was probably acting within the law to stop someone who wasn't.

Puh-leaze

I think most here support the police, at least generally. The problem is they have been militarized to a great extent and that power has gone to far too many heads. Rather than cast aspirations against the rest of us, perhaps you could understand that some people are able to come to opinions individually, based on the actual details of each particular case. Sometimes the police are seriously wrong, sometimes they are right. It would be idiotic to apply blanket support or scorn.
