Great post. I live in NY. I could tell you many stories. What they do rarely gets reported.
I have known 1 good one, 1 I'm not sure about, and a lot of bad ones. If you grew up in Queens where I did, you grew up with a lot of Cops, Gangsters, Mail Men, and construction workers. Typical working class / middle class neighborhood. There were also, the more affluent white collar types, but more of the former,
Hate to say it but most of the guys that became cops were mostly bullies, and hoodlums. No way to sugar coat it.
I have thought for a long time that law enforcement needs to be changed to some incarnation that recognizes, the problems with candidates,and the rigors of the job. The guys that go in meaning well are likely to morph into bad ones to survive in the system as things are now.
I have no solutions just speculation I won't burden you with. But we need to do something for, and about the Police.
They no longer "Serve and Protect", we have a double standard for them in regards to the laws they swear to uphold. They have too much power, and not enough legitimate oversight.
It's a system rigged to fail. +^d

Bundlebear,
These are great examples of "America's Finest", alright. Then these cops wonder why the public doesn't trust or respect them. They act like the criminals they are supposed to arrest. These cops act like thugs and think they are above the law and they are just getting worse. - 1 year ago
