I think we can agree that the damage coming from these incidents is to the reputations of good cops and the fear it fosters amongst law abiding American.

But what angers me is that nothing will be done about this cop who is obviously unqualified for police work. And that kind of arrogance by the police is dangerous.

The whole video was a show of excessive force on the part of this police department. The dog shooting was just the highlight. The cops looked like they were taking down a gang of Colombian drug lords.

I seemed to be reading more these days about cops who are adrenalin junkies looking for a fix. And the cops in that video looked real high to me.

The reason that the bureaucrats will do nothing to this JBT is that IF they admitted that he was wrong, then they may be forced to admit a LOT of daily actions by LEOs may be unlawful and that would inhibit their ability to collect revenue...

I see no evidence that these cops aren't going to be dealt with. Remember everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The libertarian lynch mob mentality is illegal and unconstitutional. An investigation and due process (something which even the dreaded police are entitled to) is the normal procedure in these matters as it should be.

if you have some statistical evidence that crimes committed by police are on the rise, something which is verifiable, bring it. Otherwise your chicken little imitation is an agenda filled bunch of crap.
