Police Brutality

[Pax]

Of course, there are Officers that are bullies and let there power go to there head. Just like anywhere else, I'm sure most of us have experienced people like that. I personally, do not like bullies of any sort and I say that we should not allow it inside or outside of law enforcement.

Problem here is they are protected by a union.

Thanx Pax. It's good to know that there are good cops, and that there's a system to get the bad one's out.

Georgia cops don't have a union. Ga is a republican right to work state. That means no protection for the working classes.
What we do have are memberships into what amounts to prepaid legal services that will provide lawyers if you happen to be sued. Getting sued is a common occurrence for Police Officers.
Some places such as NY do have strong unions. Doc, I am pro-union in any profession. Workers need someone to stand up for them.

Unions

You don't need unions to protect cops from lawsuits, you need tort reform.

GTFO.

Unions

You don't need unions to protect cops from lawsuits, you need tort reform.

You misunderstood. Unions protect workers from being taken advantage of by their employers. My county and other employers can make changes to pay policy, holiday leave and etc.. at will. The only thing an employee can really do if they don't like it is quit.

This is real police brutality..

This is the result of good police work

This video is somewhat boring but read the comments.

This is another good example if you read the comments.
One posts states that during this video one of the suspects allowed the detective at the scene to video his tats and others markings because the suspect was to scared to say no. This is far from the truth. The kid did not look scared. Gang members either hide their affiliations or flaunt them. This kid was happy to show who he was down with. Also, look at the hand gestures of two of the subjects. I can't be for certain, but they may be throwing up gang signs. Question, in your mind does being in a gang, automatically, make you a suspect? Would you feel comfortable if gang members lived in your neighborhood? I for one don't feel comfortable with gang members living in my neighborhood. I for one don't feel comfortable when I drive down a street and see gang markings on the wall and street signs. I personally feel that if you are in a gang that is engaged in criminal activity and a criminal act occurs near you then I should be able to put two and two together. However, in this case, these gentlemen actually fit the description of actual suspects that had just committed a crime. The only way to establish there innocence is to pull them over and check it out. When you read the posts you can see people don't like the way these guys were treated. Well, I don't have a problem with how they were treated. Once the Officers concluded the investigation, the subjects were let go. I guarantee, if 5 guys matching a description were scene in the area after your house was broken into you would want the police to do exactly what is shown here. The only problem you would have is that they did not stop more people until they found your property. These guys are proud of the fact that they got pulled over. But you know what, when I go to a house and someone has broken into the house or stolen a vehicle, the owner feels like he just got raped. They are angry, some even cry.

The pepper spraying cop in NYC has apparently been caught doing the same excessive spraying in a second incident.

And that's exactly as much as they should be able to do.

[Krill]

That is one **** troll.

HC doesn't care if police are underpaid. They can just quit and Docfeelgood can be a cop instead.
