Problem is that cops are scared of everything: blacks, whites, hispanics, kids, women, old people, people who don’t comply, people who comply, crime victims, mentally ill, dogs, people selling stuff without a permit, etc.
I’d almost rather take my chance with the bad guy than the cops...
I must have missed the trial of the MN Somali cop.
Only an idiot would say a cop is scarier than a criminal.
“Problem is that cops are scared of everything: blacks, whites, hispanics, kids, women, old people, people who don’t comply, people who comply, crime victims, mentally ill, dogs, people selling stuff without a permit, etc.”
That statement is complete bull $%^t! Don’t equate a trigger happy @$$hole cop with with the more than 95% of dedicated officers.
As another Freeper put it:
When i was young, cops were had a duty to make us feel safe
Now its our duty to make the cops feel safe
Don’t forget people who do comply to crazy requests.
I find it’s more accurate to blame the police SOP than the cop themselves.
They are trained and drilled that THEY are the brotherhood, and the public is their war-enemy.
That and the SOP keeps them paid well enough to know that another career will not pay their bills, but too poor to save up and change careers with a savings. And then the Pension thing too. People need to understand that cushy Pensions are a control thing, not something to be nice and thank them for the service.
This will turn any good cop into a bad one over time.
I too would take my chances with the bad guy instead. The police are just too out of hand, but when you understand their lifestyle and training to that of a dog being trained it’ll become clear.
The problem is not the person behind the badge, it’s the superiors and the SOP that is designed to turn them against us.
Remember, riot cops stand between rioters and townhall. Not rioters and businesses, residential neighborhoods or the innocent. Nothing short of a complete overhaul of the system will fix this.. But Prisons need to be populated as well so this will never happen.

...and little girls’ lemonade stands. Australian women in pajamas, cellphones, bananas, xboxes, paintballs, etc.
No excuses and no rationalizations. The son of a bitch got away with cold blooded murder. FTC

At least most common street criminals aren’t out there to kill anyone while too many cops are scared of their own shadows and just DIEING to waste somebody. And if you get into it with a thug you are much better off in court than if its a homicidal badge wearer.
