There has been a major change in police chases in my area and that was done to protect the innocent drivers. They are only allowed to chase vehicles under strict guide lines.
I know you refuse to believe it but most police officers don't begin there shifts with a "how many citizens can we kill today" attitude.....can you say the same thing for criminals?
As noble the police profession is, I don't want my son to be a cop. It's bad enough the criminals are well gunned but the situation is made worse when the public holds them accountable without knowing all the facts. I suppose you could partly blame that on the liberal news.....but then the public doesn't put much faith in there reporting. If this fact is true, then why do people believe these same liberal news media's when reporting on police officers?
I read an article about police officers profiling black drivers and according to this article, the police generally avoid pulling over blacks....they say it's not worth it. Who wants to appear on the news as that racist cop.
If people like you are constantly accusing police officers of illegal stops and searches, then why don't you turn them in? If your afraid of the local police, then call some reporters and have them look into your allegations. Your inactions remind me of the french in World WarII who turned a blind eye to the murdering of millions of Jews. You want police reforms then I suggest you get involved and try to help that change.

That's a little nervy. You have no idea, for one thing, that I know the chief in my town very well and I supported him in throwing out the DARE program. I educated a lot of worried soccer moms that DARE was a counterproductive boondoggle.
For another, you probably haven't looked at those FBI UCR stats. You probably don't know your hometown's solution rates and the cost ratios relative to the police budget. You could be living in the perfect town: highly effective police that solve most crime. OR, you COULD BE living in a corrupted, over-unioned, overpaid, disabilty slacker hellhole. You don't know. Do you?
