Some police officers will often over-eseclate a situation for a minor violation.It might happen. And I agree once is too many. But certainly not all officers are like that. We also have to consider that sometimes they may have good reasons to take actions we don’t understand, because we don’t have their training and experience.
A lot of them do, regardless of race. They like to jump people and bring them down hard even if the offense was non-violent.
A lot? the majority?
I have no faith in their training or experience.
maybe not, nonetheless we have no training or experience. We need to keep that in mind when we judge things. That is one of the reasons I like to get Ferris’s take on things when it involves cops doing things that may or may not be legit.
That said, cops tend to depend on the department.
You whether they are good or bad cops depends on the department they are from? I could agree with that. Some police departments are better than others.
Certain cities have great cops while others are notoriously horrible, like Detroit, New Orleans, or Los Angeles. The police department in the city I’m in now is wonderful, while the cops in the nearest neighboring city are horrible.
and I agree, the bad ones need fixing.
