Cr*p like this keeps happening and all we talk about is slap on the wrist of the Erring officers.

I sorry people, Yes mistakes do happen. But I don’t think these are mistakes any more. It’s deliberate and designed to make us fear the Police.

Many police have reached their Peter’s Principal height at writing speeding tickets, and running Radar traps.

They are overwhelmed with their authority, and take any questioning of their authority as disrespect, which means they lose the respect they believe they are entitled to.

Yep, that was no “mistake”. LEO thugs should be sent to jail.

We have far too many police and way too many lawyers for a society that claims it is free.

Ain't nobody in this coop but us "free" chickens.

The only way they could be mistakes would be gross incompetence. This case speaks to the root of the legal justifications the police have to disrupt people’s private lives. The police that show up at your door should know the boundaries they must work within as well as a traffic cop knows the speed limit where he has set up a radar trap.

i.e. I agree with you.

"I don’t think these are mistakes any more. It’s deliberate and designed to make us fear the Police."

No, this is just a simple matter of economics; you get what you pay for.

A city that pays its police officers a decent salary can demand a higher quality of police officer and can place higher standards of qualification on applicants seeking employment as police officers. Of course this requires higher taxes and most cities hesitate to raise taxes sufficiently to cover the cost of a quality police force. As a result of this, a city will wind up with low quality police officers, and in many cases these police officers are nothing but thugs with badges.

This is a very gentle version of what Terrorism actually is. It is not the attacks of an enemy no matter how heinous and horrendous. It is not political opposition, no matter how violent. Terrorism or The Terror is state sponsored random violence against the people, random taking of citizens for no sensible reason or for reason that they are some sort of “enemies of the State.” It is random execution of citizens or sending of citizens off to forced labor institutions as slaves for no sensible reason. Terror is violence directed by a government against its own subjects/citizens for the purpose of making trust impossible so that opposition to the government cannot form. No one knows why people are taken or killed thus they must suspect that anyone can be informing to the “organs.”

With 750,000 sworn officers out there, mistakes are bound to occur. The most egregious now get the most attention, which they should. That is how we correct the situation and educate the public.

I think this is being exposed more, where before the story would be spiked by the MSM, unless it advanced the "progressive" agenda.

For far too long, the "progressives" have fostered an us vs. them attitude among the police.
