re: Grand Jury Doesn't Indict Cops who kill man with down syndrome

The other 10% are started by bad officers that like to start fights.

and when a 'bad cop' new story comes up, the TD cops rush to the officer's defense in most every case while many 'civilians' are shocked at the unnecessary force being used. there is a WIDE gulf between how cops see the world and many law abiding 'civilians' see it.

SWAT teams, no-knock raids for non-violent suspects, checkpoints, gangs of cops pouncing on individual suspects, shootings of unarmed suspects, arrogance, 'getting home safe' at ANY cost mentality, and the thin blue line all contribute to a new fear and distrust of cops by the middle class that I have never seen before......but in your eyes, there's no serious problem...which proves there is.

it's no longer just blacks, hispanics, and hippies that are being abused by cops, they're now pushing around good people too
