“Back the Blue”. Until it happens to YOU!
This is a LOT more common than many thought, and all these personal dashcams have started to bring to view more and more of the misbehaviour of the constabulary.
So much for the “Most cops are good guys” narrative that’s been rubbed into our faces for years. If “most” of the cops are good guys, why didn’t/haven’t/won’t they stop this kind of abuse of their position?
I was taught at an early age that the police are not your friends.
>> If “most” of the cops are good guys, why didn’t/haven’t/won’t they stop this kind of abuse of their position?
So what you seem to be saying is, “unless incidents like this are zero, then all cops are bad”. Sorry FRiend, but as a basis for logical reasoning, that’s just a crock of ignorant sh!t.

Proof? Or at least statistical evidence?
I haven’t backed the blue in 8 years. Nothing but a gang in uniform.
Your assertion is absurd. If most cops were like this one, we’d hear scores of such reports every week, not just an occasional few across a year. People who “back the blue” aren’t backing the bad apples, just the decent LEOs who go out every day, deal with the dregs of society and hope they can go home to their families.
If you’re lucky, support your sheriff and his force. Local pd, that is highly militarized… no way. These folks have access to APCs.. a posse commitatus work around. Courtesy of the patriot act. The founders would have already shut that down.
As a very peaceable citizen with an ultra-clean record ...
The police are a greater threat to me than are common criminals.
If a common criminal threatens me or assaults me, I can defend myself with lethal force if necessary. If such defense results in the common criminal's death, most normal Americans will support my actions.
If a police officer threatens me or assaults me, I cannot defend myself AT ALL without being damned to hell as a "cop-killer".
