He should save a few lives and find something else to do, because if you don’t respect other people, you have no right to expect them to respect you. Act like a thug, and you get treated like a thug.
]]>At which point, I have to say, it’s time to leave police work. Just like I knew it was time to leave teaching when I quit giving a damn about the kids. If you’re not there to serve and protect, if you don’t give a damn about the people you’re supposedly there to serve and protect, if you’re just there to draw a salary and beat the crap out of people when you feel frustrated, you’re part of the problem, not the solution.
]]>Officer safety took off and has gone to an extreme point in training. Throw in the us vs. them factor and you are promoting paranoia which was once a reason for rejecting candidates. The politicians and professional haters have created this problem, so they aren’t likely to be solution.
]]>I mean, look, I’m a white nerdy guy, yet they call for backup when they pull *me* over, and put their hands on their guns as if trying to decide whether they need to shoot me or not. Not at all what I remember from even fifteen years ago, when my interactions with cops was far less nerve-wracking.
And it’s not as even there’s a lot of cops killed in the line of duty anymore. There’s about 800,000 sworn officers in the USA. Of that number, less than 40 are victims of homicide in any given year. A typical resident of Oakland CA has a four times higher chance of being murdered than the typical cop does. Maybe we ought to give Oakland’s residents all that body armor that lead to today’s cops clanking as they walk…
]]>These clowns view anything other than instant obedience as a mortal attack.
]]>Why do they do that?
