With the restrictive gun laws in CA, the only ones left with guns are criminals, I guess.

Dayle Long

I remember a time when cops were helpful, mellow and had an ability to protect and serve. Now many I run into seem like they have an "above the law" attitude.

This kind of thing, while rare, also falls under the classification of ‘American Social Decline’.. Just as bad, if not worse, than hordes rioting in the Mall of America or Walmart.

Back then you were a "citizen."

Today you are a "civilian."

I am NOT defending this cop. I agree he should “rot in hell” from post #2.

But, I remember a time when we didn't need to lock our doors at night, & kids could be kids w/o fear of pedophiles. Murderers were executed quickly, thieves went to jail for a long time, & perverts dare not return to their neighborhoods if they were EVER released from jail, for fear of deadly retribution.

Today, vicious criminals rule the streets. When arrested, they are quickly bailed back on to the streets. When convicted, they get light sentences in comfortable prisons. Many get off Scot free by liberal laws & judges. Cop killers are now heroes in the eyes of many - Mumia Jamal.

Is it any wonder that police have become as cold blooded as the criminals? What kind of personality does one need to patrol the mean streets in a uniform that seems to say, “Don't fear me, shoot me”? How many of us could wear a badge & remain sane in the face of our current Bizarro legal system?

Yes, I would hang Dayle Long 15 minutes after conviction, along with every violent criminal in every jail in America.

Collateral damage of the "War on Drugs."

When we decided to declare war on a significant portion of the populace, we attracted the wrong type of person to law enforcement.

Just like when we turned government into a criminal enterprise with the Income Tax Amendment we attracted nothing but crooks to political office.

He kinda looks like John C. McGinley.
