It really is and you don't understand how percentages work. Whenever you calculate the amount of police officers in the country versus the amount of reports the link you posted reports. There are over 700000 police officers in America, there would have to be 20 incidents daily across the country to even make up 1 percent of the cops in a year. The site you linked doesn't average that. So in the grand scheme of things, it's a few isolated incidents.

He keeps posting that stupid site. It has little to do with any police policy allegations. It mostly lists a bunch of crap that policemen, as individuals, get in trouble for - things like dui, domestic violence, stealing, etc - in other words there are some petty criminals who happen to be policemen - just like there are petty criminals who happen to be lawyers, union leaders, protesters, businessmen, congressmen, etc. etc. etc. It proves that policemen happen to have the same human frailties as the rest of the species.

I have called him out on this before, but he smugly ignores it and continues to play his 'trump' card.

He has nothing - cannot defend his assertions - resorts to empty sloganeering.

But he really thinks he is smart - he may even think he is 'thinking' -

I view the situation differently. Excessive violence complaints on a daily basis (many of them now corroborated with video) isn't excusable with simply saying "no big deal."
