“I don’t know understand why so many ppl on this forum love cops.”
They are cops or live in a sheltered place where they never had an experience with a bad cop.
I once had lofty views of American police too. Until I woke up in the middle of the night and through a crack in my shade witnessed several NYPD holding a group of teens hostage, bullying them, putting them in holds and kicking them like garbage.
Nomatter the crime they supposedly did, nobody deserves to be held and tortured like that for no reason but sadism. Seems like they were really enjoying it.
The fact that 5 cops all participated in it and didn’t even say anything, made my opinion of them very low after that point.
I was so broke I didn’t even have a landline then but thank God today such a thing would easily videotaped by nearly anyone. Like this nurse incident. Citizens are fighting back, FRiend!
I wish I was more clear about one thing. I don’t want to label the individuals as being all bad. But rather the institution as it exists, allows for present day abuses. You described on such abuse. I’m sure the typical German thought the cops were okay in Germany as they forced sterilization and even euthanized the sick and mentally ill. And then there was the whole made up event Kristallnacht. I’m sure the Germans thought the cops were being reasonable in their treatment of the Jews.
And surely there will be somebody here to insult me for trying to connect the dots this way. I simply say now that our Founding Fathers wanted a small government because they held the view that man’s nature was to oppress his fellow man. As the Good Book says, The heart is more deceitful than all else.
