(160 posts)for the sake of full disclosure, I'm white.... and I think that cops have entirely too much UNACCOUNTABLE power.... a cop can shoot someone and claim they felt their lives were in danger and never be convicted.... never be held accountable....
me in my car and a cop... the cop shoots the only other witness and guess who doesn't go to jail....
should I be shot because I tell a cop to kiss my a$$...? slapped up side the head maybe but shot dead....?
if a cop is a cop who shoots first and lies later then that cop shouldn't be a cop....
and I was banned once from democratic underground.. my old login still isn't usable.... i pi$$ed someone off with a reply.... this was about 5 years ago.....
so don't get banned... your voice is better as an active voice... just find a way to persuade that isn't considered abusive and you can do so...
so do cops murder people? based on my observation YES.... and I'm guessing the cops who do so simply shouldn't be cops.... but if a cop does shoot someone without cause that cop should be held accountable...
so the failure is when the person is hired as a cop.... it's a tough job, pay that isn't the best..... and you can be killed in an instant if you make a mistake....
it's a tough job but that doesn't mean that cops have to shoot first and ask questions later...
