So many cops just aren't very smart and I'm not sure if there's a way to fix that.

Poilceman has become a low-wage, extremely low prestige profession. Most of the good ones have left the job entirely. There is no going back.

I can personally attest it's no different in St. Tammany Parish. 90% of the force there are meatheads who barely passed high school and carry themselves like they used to kick doors down overseas. They LOVE escalating whatever situation they're in and putting their hands on you if they get the chance.

A proposed state law would make it a misdemeanor crime for anyone to be within 25 feet of any law enforcement officer while they’re conducting “law enforcement duties.” That would make the manner in which Johnson filmed his mother’s arrest illegal.

Yeah, that's unconstitutional.
