Police Coverups, Conspiracies, and Cost to Taxpayers

The public is an extremely dangerous place, especially near bigger cities.
Police are often in self preservation mode. The softer you want them to be, the more cops will be harmed.
Posts like this sound informed to the uninformed.
I doubt many of the libbies who agree with this sentiment have ever been in any prolonged interaction with the truly dangerous element.
I’d bet big money on it.

 

Ignorance is bliss until you get a cop killed.

 

Then you better stay out of cities & stay indoors in your safe space, clutching your gun at all times!

Fact is, in terms of danger, Americans are more at risk of violent victimization from someone they know or are associated with in some way, not from strangers.

 

Exactly. You can’t even see it.

 

People like you and Mutz mean well.
Once you’ve convinced the public, including the criminals, that the system is rigged, cops and judges are racist, the less likely criminals will respect authority. The criminals are more likely emboldened and therefore will become more dangerous to LEOs.
I know you can’t see it because you’ve created an entire thread on the downside to cops.

 

Guess it speaks to our personality differences. We can see the same thing and draw different reasons for it.
IMO cops are doing the best they can in a terrible and dangerous environment. And the rules get tighter each day on them.
Tough job.

 

That’s funny because the cops highlighted in this thread are criminals who don’t respect authority and felt emboldened to commit crimes and endanger civilians on the street. Seems like you have no issue with criminal cops who break the law, and only have an issue with regular perps who don’t wear badges. Time to ask yourself why that is…

 

I realize that. But I’m not siding with criminals over the police. Call me the day you idealists find a way to make cops perfect. You won’t, unless they’re robots and even that has its drawbacks.
The reality is we don’t pay them enough to deal with the nasty public.
We also don’t pay teachers enough to interact with the nasty kids they have to teach.

 

I’m saying the cops rights are diminishing while the criminals get more and more leeway.
It’s difficult to catch a criminal and make it stick.

 

I think I meant more scrutiny and less trust. I get it and understand why.
Nothing is changing though. We still have bad cops and millions of bad guys.
And the best part….more unemployed men who don’t know what to do with their time.

 

Difficult by design. But alas, bluke, it can be fixed to suit your concerns...

All we need to do is get rid of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments or better yet, just scrap the BoR.

Presto, problem solved!
