honestly, how many beatdowns by cops have occurred because the person being pulled over/questioned was polite and respectful?


I get what you're saying, but this just sounds like you're OK with cops using physical force just because someone is being an a-hole. If you or I do that, we face criminal and civil liability. Cops just get away with it?

cops are TRAINED to do this. they are told that if the situation starts to escalate and they dont know if the person is drunk, high or getting ready to reach for a gun, knife or baseball bat as they become increasingly agitated..they do what they need to do to neutralize the situation.

i see no problem with that.

eta there are probably just as many videos out there of cops who were too "nice" and ended up getting shot or run over.

a cop NEVER knows what is going to happen when he pulls over a person driving erratically.
