    I’m glad you side with the criminals.
    Good for you.

    Cops and criminals are different sides of the same coin, so I'm not taking any side, heads or tails is all the same to me

    I don’t disagree with you there. It’s just not a fun job and we are becoming a looser and less consequences type of country.
    It’s putting under-paid cops under serious duress.

    The difference is…we need cops. We don’t need criminals.
    Unless you’re a defense attorney, which I suspect most of this libbie board is.

    Literally more laws now than ever and people in jail/prison than anywhere else in the world (though El Salvador is giving us a run lately).

    Cops need criminals, what else are they going to do. Crime is good for them, it keeps them flush with government money. They dont want to get too good at their job or fix the things that cause crime to begin with, because then the gravy train government handouts are over. Biggest welfare queens in America.

    Because they’re released and rewarded for going to prison. No one is scared of the consequences. And the schools are the same way. Admin is scared of the ignorant parents.

    This is bullshit.

    Cops get the benefit of the doubt, they get Qualified Immunity way too often, and have the backing of the DA in which they work hand and hand with, the weight if Police union, and near unlimited resources in the form of taxpayers dollars.

    Suspected criminals get none of that. And if you're poor, you get even less.

    There was definitely more crime 30-40 years ago than today actually. The NY /Chicago you think exists today was literally true in the 80s and early 90s.

    Well then, here’s our problem. I have a couple close friends who are cops. I also have a close friend who is a judge.
    It is extremely difficult to prosecute a jackass criminal. You can believe the libbie media all you like.
    In reality, cops have to let the bad guys go all the time and hope to catch in the act another day.
    It really sucks.

    They should quit if they think it sucks. That's what most people do if something sucks.

    Maybe the issue is bad arrests, which happen all of the time. That's probably why they are hard to prosecute.

    If you think it's hard prosecuting suspected criminals, imagine how hard it is to prosecute criminal cops. And when they are prosecuted, it's usually for much lesser charges than the suspected criminals gets.

    Example: Cops kick the shit out of someone, simple battery. Man not accused of anything gets charges upgraded from obstruction to FELONY ASSAULT on a police officer.

    Fun fact: Did you know an officer was killed the day before testifying in the Gun Trace Task Force trial?

    Didn't you just say there were more people in jail today than ever? So we weren't solving crimes 30-40 years ago?

    It depends on what they are in jail for. Should someone be arrested for exercising their first amendment right to film the police acting in their official capacities? Should someone be arrested for giving a cop the finger? Should people be arrested for hurting cops feelings?
