I think of the cops who shot up the wrong pickup in the Dorner case, of the cop who gunned down 13-year-old Andy Lopez because he was walking along the road with a toy gun and didn’t drop it fast enough, of the cops who shot a woman holding a cordless drill they mistook for an Uzi, of the dogs shot at the wrong house, of the no-knock warrants for non-violent criminals, of a baby burned and scarred by a flash-bang grenade thrown in its crib.

If I understand Manc's posts correctly, just for merely criticizing the police in these instances, makes us cop haters. To say nothing of those who beat a homeless man to death or the child that was shot dead by the policewoman for having a remote controller in his hand when he answered a knock on the door. Again, if I understand Manc correctly as long as the police do those things it is o.k. and we should keep our mouths shut.

No you are not understanding my posts.

I will be more clearer and in depth.

There is good and bad in every profession, and I mean every profession.
Now we are on about this one shooting , not using past other issues and circumstances to look for some to defame all cops.

In this instance I think the cop did right , but what pisses me off to no end is how some use this tragedy , this tragedy not others to defame all cops to suit and push their own agenda.

Again there is good and bad in every profession.
If someone does wrong then call them out but right now we have a cop attacked, a druggie thug robbing a store, we have riots and looting and some can only talk about how bad cops are.

Not saying in a sarc way but I hope I have made it more clearer now

I can only speak for myself but the incessant posting of “bad cop” articles here on FR is a bit over the top.

Even if there were several of these ugly incidents a day that would still be low-—about 1000 per year. There are approximately 700,000 LEOs in the country-——most are doing a good job but the fun of posting the nasty stuff seems to be the trend around here.

That said——my only direct confrontation with a police officer in my very long life was nasty-—he was an ass,but I realize he was an exception.
