No matter how commonly or rarely events happen, I would consider it unacceptable for cops to escape punishment on even 10% of them. Would you agree with that premise?
If that premise is acceptable, then it would seem that either (1) incidents where cops are punished outnumber at least 10 to 1 those that are reported where they do not, in which case the rate of such events would seem unacceptably high, or (2) an unacceptable number of cops are escaping punishment for well-known criminal actions on their part.
Since it would seem more likely that cops would escape punishment for events which don't become widely known than for those that do, the apparent very low rate of punishment for well-known events suggests an even lower rate of punishment for such events overall. Is there any reason not consider that totally unacceptable?
I don’t need to comment further. My case is made by the bulk of posters here.
The desire to kill cops runs high here on FR. I think this is unfortunate. I think most conservatives would be in favor of those who stand up to protect and serve. I have good friends that are cops. They’re good men. They do something that few are willing to do.
But clearly they have few friends here.
