re: The gift that keeps giving-2 NYPD officer pistol whip, beat up teen w hands up

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate their service and their sacrifice. But they must upload themselves to the law of the land if they expect the citizens to do that. A corrupt police force/stat trickles down to unlawfulness everywhere. If the bearers of the law don't respect it, why should its constituents?

It does nothing to breed trust between citizens and cops. They are better than this and we should really expect more from them because their are MANY cops out there doing the right thing
