Let's see the dash/body cam. I'm well past believing either side in these articles.

Which ones were the good ones in the situation you referenced, they guys that beat the dude to death or the ones that covered it up?

Holy fricking shite you’re sub IQ. I said people hate cops and why would they want to be one. You compare that to people hating folks who are doctors, lawyers, teachers. “Meh no big deal”

Those folks don’t go to work every single day with people actively wanting to kill them. The importance here is when a cop has an interaction with the public, they’re on high alert because of the danger and the fact that populations hate them is going to inform their ready level as well.

There’s no comparison and you making it is laughable

Is any of this justification for them shooting and killing innocent people, or should cops who frick up be held responsible?

The vast majority of US jurisdictions can't afford this and don't have the expertise or capacity to do it on their own. End game would be a national (or privately trained but nationally standardized) force.

Also the military, despite all that basic training, still regularly fricks up and kills innocent people.

I didn't say no big deal.

This is simply not the case in a typical day of a typical cop.

You can compare any two things.

Get rid of qualified immunity so these trigger happy nut jobs have to think twice before ending someone’s life.
Stop repeating everything you hear on CNN.

Qualified immunity only protects officers from civil suits, not criminal charges. If the officer shoots a suspect unjustifiably then he’ll face criminal charges. But getting rid of qualified immunity means that every POS the cops encounter on a daily basis will now be able to claim the police were too rough when arresting them and be able to sue the officer personally. Nobody anywhere will want to be a cop when they can be personally sued by every meth head they deal with on a daily basis. And trying to find professional liability insurance for officers will be ridiculously expensive and unaffordable on an officer’s salary, if they can obtain it at all.

Happened within 5 miles of my house; wife had to go to work a different way due to them having the road shut down. The Sheriff is a good guy and feel terrible for everyone involved.

Do you know how many innocent people doctors and health care professionals kill through malfeasance every year?

How many people delivery drivers kill every year?

also it’s why they need more funding, more training, better pay. They should have a boot camp similar to military and it should pay 60k a year. Yeah I know it’s gonna piss some of you off to pay more taxes but as much bullshite that you already pay taxes on you might as well have something that actually matters that your tax dollars goes to.


no amount of training will ever stop police shootings.

The whole practice of policing should be as regulated as the medical field.


So you want deaths in the hundreds of thousands? Dirty little secret, wrongly prescribed medication deaths are over 300,000 in the US and Europe EACH YEAR.

I'd agree with you if nurses, and by extension doctors, weren't mentioned. Bad doctors kill more people than bad cops every single year.

No protests for that, though.

Why is there this extension? Nurses don't often kill people, and doctors weren't mentioned
