We just had a kid killed by a cop for holding a wii. What did he do wrong? And you’ll note that once again the cop got a pass.How about the Dorner hunt? Or the Dorner hunt incidents? Or the cops falsely claiming 911 calls to get around the 4th? How about out of control swat raids? How about they guy arrested for ‘shooting at officers’ when they hit the wrong house. And the constant bad attitudes.
There are far too many issues with LE to keep ignoring it.
I’m not excusing bad LEO behavior by a long shot. Actually they should really be held accountable because they know the law and do jail time just the same if they violate it. I think they need more constitutional law training because they don’t spend much time on it in the classroom rather focusing on penal code / traffic laws. I think we spent maybe 2 days on it tops? Maybe if they took badges and intimidating uniforms away from them it might remove some of the narcissistic cowboy bully types that apply so they can carry a badge and a gun and get the ladies. They tend to hire guys like that for a reason. They need guys that are take charge types who won’t take a lot of crap because they sure have to deal with a lot of it. Just a thought.
