Yes sadly the Police have been maligned non stop for a good while now. It is the main reason so many forces can no longer find qualified people to work for them. Seattle is finding this out the hard way just north of me. For every new hire 4 quit. What this leads too is people who would have never "made the cut", now get hired. I have been saying for a while this is going to be the result. You end up with people in that job who have no business in that job. This one looks like a perfect storm where several who should never have been hired all ended up on the same call. So now they killed someone who "pissed them off". The offices are going to pay dearly for this but, so are the rest of the Cops and the tax payers. Lawyers had to be fighting each other to get the family to sign with them since this will be a slam dunk pay out the lawyers will get a huge cut of.I've wondered about this for years. From when the "Cops" shows first started. It's animal nature to push/pull/struggle in the opposite direction if you were being man handled and screamed at.
I don't know about this case. This thread might be one of the threads I won't read anymore because I've seen enough. Besides, something that's been happening here as of late is good members starting to attack each other for airing their opinions.
So a thought that just crossed my mind while reading this. Would these situations, which seem to be happening more and more, be lessened if our police officers in this country hadn't been turned from people we have always looked up to, into the bad guys? There's been nothing but how bad police are for a long time. They are human beings in those uniforms. They aren't any less susceptible to the flood of bubblegum that's been/being thrown at them every day than anyone else. Big city cops have been getting shat on constantly for a number of years.
Just a thought. No reason for me to be quoted for being wrong minded somehow.
Many Cops now who are kind of stuck, they have so many years in they do not want to leave are now just ignoring crime. Figuring the places where people line up to film and taunt them can live in the sewer they made. This again is the "be careful what you ask for, you may get it". The people screaming for no cops are then left screaming as they become victims of their own neighbors.
