So true. It's not like we mean all cops, just those that are doing wrong. They act like we're anti-American, when we're just trying to honestly figure out why cops that are in the wrong legally aren't held accountable for their mistakes. They're humans, of course they are. All humans make mistakes. They should be held accountable just like everyone else.The ones that are dicks are dicks because they are dicks! And.....they F it up for all the other great cops out there.
People should always question authority. If people in authority can't respond with the correct answer, respond that they don't know but will find the correct answer, and/or respond with a cool, clear attitude, then they shouldn't be in a position of power.
If we get to the point as a society where we can't question authority, we've lost our rights.
My father was a cop in Kansas City misery years ago. Yup, humans! It really really sucks when a few bad apples taint the overwhelming majority.
Different thread derail, but makes me think of this http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/13/upshot/what-the-numbers-show-about-nfl-player-arrests.html?_r=0
Again, the few IDIOTS percentage wise, really screw up public perceptions and attitudes.
