I have to agree 100%, and if this comes back to do with that black lives matter BS again, and/or the threat by the NBPP then it is time to shut them down. If a animal can kill a cop there is nothing he/she won't do, best at that point to place one right behind the ear and call it a day.

Seems police don't like getting shot. Neither do citizens...

Simple solution, thugs don't break the law, cops won't shoot you, easy enough. Thugs don't get shot, they stay happy, they don't murder innocent cops.

This guy had 30 years on the force and 4 kids. And I totally agree. Don't be a criminal. It works.

Thugs WANT to be shot, or so it appears from their behavior. If you play with fire you are going to get burned.

Do you think that people's perceptions are gained from the media. Here in the UK, we get the impression that white officers shoot black guys and it doesn't matter how blatant it looks on video footage, the cop gets away with it.

From what we've seen in the media, the US police seem pretty obsessed with authority and ruthlessness/heavy handed. Is that true?

First, and more importantly, welcome to DP!!

Cops shoot criminals from time to time, whether the cop is white or black. The media likes to spotlight the white cops. But yep, it happens. The OVERWHELMING majority of times it is a criminal, and the criminal is doing something horribly wrong, and the police need to protect their own lives or that of an innocent citizen. Most people forget that when they see the video of a criminal being shot.

With that said, absolutely, there are and have been times where a cop more or less murders a citizen, and luckily a few of them have been caught on camera. It would be extremely rare with such "proof" that a cop would walk. We just had that perfect example here, where a cop shot a guy in the back who was running, and didn't realize it was being recorded. He now sits in jail awaiting trial on murder charges.

There are bad eggs in every profession. The police are forefront in the media, and rightfully so. But obsessed? Not really, just the bad eggs, and trust me, even the citizens would like to see the bad eggs gone. With thousands and thousands of cops throughout the nation, you're going to get bad eggs. And while those caught are all over the media, the thousands and thousands of GOOD cops, and those who save lives, are rarely, if ever, placed in the same spotlight.

I have been pulled over several times for driving too fast. The police are always polite and kind with me, mostly giving me a warning.

They definitely are obsessed with their own authority.

However, they don't discriminate. Blacks have only themselves to blame. They glorify the thug lifestyle and live in it. That's THEIR fault, not the cops. Not white people.

If you're polite to them, they are polite back.

It does seem to work that way. And a pretty smile doesn't hurt either.

I don't have one of those.

I don't have one of those.

And you don't have a blouse to unbutton a little either...
