If you had to deal with being spit on, beat up and shot at by the dregs of society each and every day, you would kneel on a huge, high black dude too that you might not be able to control. High people are like Superman. The cops would like to go home to their families at the end of the day. They have an impossible task. You are an idiot if you think he killed him for shits and giggles. The dude overdosed and died by his OWN hand.

No to all of this.

Badge + Gun + Power = Higher standards. This not negotiable and it's time to stop with these pathetic excuses for LE. If you want more respect and better treatment of LE then start enforcing much higher standards of conduct. Policing will get better, the public will respect the profession, there will be better relationships between the public and LE, etc.

Making excuses just drives a wedge between the two groups. The pro-LE crowd, it seems to me, has zero appreciation for the damage done to people's lives due to LE misconduct and just how powerless people are to confront it.

Thucydides told us, nothing spurs a man to action like injustice.

You want to dial down the frustration with LE, then dial up the professionalism and accountability within LE. It will change things, magically and immediately.

Notice a theme here??

starting with the Rodney King and going on thru Michael Brown, et al down to George Floyd.

Each and every one who should have been dispatch with a bullet to the head early in the engagement, but were coddled for long minutes of existential conflict only to have unholy hell wreaked up them and the nation for their efforts.

When a crazed, drug powered, thug attacks you over a trivial encounter, it should be ok to just shoot him - ESPECIALLY in this day and age of "license to wreak as much havoc as physically possible" attitude, amongst those with certain melatonin criteria, that you can either get away with your original crime or get some symbol of everlasting devotion to your worthless memory sustained by an growing multitude of idiots.

maybe we need to develop a dibilitating spray that renders anyone totally unconscious that can be deployed at a range of 10 feet to reduce the thug to a collapsed state for 4 or 5 minutes while you cuff him up and put his arse in a patrol car.
