    Interesting mental masturbation with statistics.

    What percentage of officers that kill someone are indicted for even so much as manslaughter?

    When a cop is found to be abusing such laws as asset forfeiture, are they ever prosecuted?

    This article is a bunch of relatively meaningless statistics that glosses over the reader's eyes with vapid data that does not address the root cause of why cops are not trusted.

    I'm guessing it's because they are stupid enough to risk their lives going into unknown situations on a daily basis for a privileged and unthankful populace.

    while that's a convenient and wonderfully politically correct notion, you know damned well that far too many police officers abuse their authoritative position to impose their will on the citizenry. in other words, but complete dicks just because they can, and you as a lowly citizen cant say shit about it, and if you do, I'll figure out some way to haul your ass in to the precinct and claim you were selling loosies to your buddy there. Next time you speak up I choke you out with a few of my buddies and claim you were resisting arrest.

    you watch it play out in real life and....what the hell else do cops expect when they act like above and beyond the law dickheads?

    Like I've said before, great for all yous that have had good experiences in dealing with the law - I've simply been far too many times between my friends and I in a situation where the cops are complete dicks. The two or so times they were not complete dicks that I can recall in my entire life, they were the old school ones that treated you like an actual human being.

    Add robocop technology on to these young fuckers and they start thinking they're goddamed judge dredd.

    I've always assumed that my having "good experiences in dealing with the law" is that I don't engage in activities that would warrant bad experiences.

    That being said, with the ever increasing numbers of bad people doing bad things to encourage bad experiences with officers of the law then yes it is bringing out the so called "abuse".

    But then people are much more likely to report that they were wronged than they are to give praise. So a few thugs got shot for acting like thugs, I for one couldn't care less.

    Yes, I see your perspective. Its great that you've never had a police officer accost you for nothing whatsoever because he had nothing better to do.

    That's the thing that makes me chuckle, you guys have never experienced something like that and it doesnt make sense to you, so you just sit there and believe it doesnt exist.

    It exists, I am very sorry to say. Doubly sorry to say its becoming the norm rather than the exception.

    If there is anything to back that up other than anecdotal hyperbole, please post it.

    And that has absolutely no relevance on how he might act when confronted by the police?

    Personally I have had many interactions with cops over the years and have been arrested twice. 99% of my interaction with them has been neutral or positive. And I believe 100% that that is a direct reflection of my attitude and demeanor when dealing with them.

    If 99% of your dealings with cops is negative maybe you need to look in the mirror to see who is to blame for them being assholes.
