Just various videos over the past few years.

well then no...what stands out to me in most cases is how dumb the criminals are and how they won't listen to what the cops tell them.

What amazes me is that rarely are the "victims" of the high profile cases just good, innocent people. Most of the time, it is people with criminal backgrounds doing hoodrat shite, and then it becomes a bunch of suburban white people doing the bitching on the internet about police. It's fricking crazy to me. "But the cops are taking our rightssssss"!!! No they aren't you fricking pussy.

Maybe on an individual level, but the entire criminal justice system is more corrupt as a whole, so while most may not be "corrupt" in the sense that they are purposefully abusing their authority, they are the foot-soldiers of a fundamentally corrupt scheme which has given them near-absolute authority of the citizenry.
It's cliche' to say, but true nonetheless- "absolute power corrupts absolutely."
That's an asinine statement. The entire criminal justice system is 50 fold less corrupt than 30 years ago. With only the addition of DNA to overturn wrongful convictions that would be the case, but with information being so much more available quickly now, it is crazy to say we are more corrupt now.

So true. I really couldn't imagine being a cop and dealing with the trash they deal with day in day out.

Good lord. Sure there are rogue cops out there, but don't act like black men dressed in business attire driving a Lexus are getting treated differently. Give me a break.

I need only point to incarceration rates to show you why you're wrong. Don't be a simpleton and act like accuracy in murder convictions is a measure of corruption.

I have seen firsthand atrocities committed by law enforcement. You can't call it anything else. Has my opinion changed? Not really. Some are good and decent and some aren't.

The problem is when you call something a war then cops start acting like warriors and the community(people) then become the enemy because warriors need an enemy.
There is little actual policing, no outreach, no involvement. Cops don't actually walk beats and get to know those they swore to protect and serve. They are more concerned with snatching people up for what should be a minor offense and padding stats.

Not really. I used to hate cops when I was younger because I got some ridiculous tickets. Grew out of hating them because I realized they work hard and many of them do it because they want to protect their communities. There is an extremely delicate balance between preserving people's rights and the safety of the community, as well as their own safety, and I think most try to do a good job at that. While some may be power hungry and abuse their power, I don't think it's that many.
