I watch a lot of those youtube videos of cops acting badly with citizens. My favorites are Lackluster, “audit the audit”, and Donut operator, though the latter has more encounters where the police are the good guys in the stop.
I always wonder if any of these people singled out by the cops are going to end up shooting a cop in self defense.
And don’t even get me started on civil asset forfeiture...
I believe the present ire against local cops is purposeful and political - it was organized by Obama and Holder, and continues to this day.
It just give Fed.gov cops, which in no surprise, no one ever calls to “defund,” more power over a last vestige of local power and local control.
“I watch a lot of those youtube videos of cops acting badly with citizens”
I guess there aren’t many videos of the thousands of contacts between police and citizens that happen daily where the results are posiive for you to watch.
Waaaaayyyy back in the early 90's, when Bush Sr. was pushing civil asset forfeiture, I sounded the alarm to everyone I knew. No one cared, because 'it would only happen to those bad guys, the drug dealers'.
I knew all the way back then that America was going down.
