Well. I mean. The dude wasn't going anywhere. They had the place surrounded.

I know the true story. It's the same as every story involving pigs.

They ruin shite, and suffer zero consequences.

@ you for liking stupid people on power trips.

Can you find a broader brush?

I mean really, I can understand generalizing and saying most cops are untrustworthy or even a vast majority, but every one? Every single one? Every story involving cops is them acting unreasonable? You are like a women with your exaggerating.

Luckily, I haven't had to deal with either of them.

Only a complete fricking prick with a chip on his shoulder would want to be a pig in today's America. Law enforcement agencies only hire stupid people, because they don't want any critical thinkers, because then you would have employees questioning the fact that they trample on the rights of citizens EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Dude is going to get an upgrade on his 1974 built home. There will be a time a few years down the road he will be thankful for the destruction and silently thank the incompetent officers.

Ironically, your posts indicate a lack of critical thinking on the matter. At the very least, it shows a lack of research. There are many organizations that do quite well that offer training to police departments on subjects like ethics, policy development, community relations, 4th amendment training, de-escalation techniques, and the lists go on and on. A simple google search and you can see that tons of these organizations exist because police departments hire them for their services. If you don't get what I'm saying, it means that someone capable of making decisions in these police departments cares. There are police chiefs across the nation calling for reform and many have been for a while. Do yourself a favor and google the Madison police department. Look at their Youtube page and watch the video on the style of policing that they promote. There are problems in policing and there always will be because humans are making decisions. Look at any other occupation and you will find the same thing. Police are held to a higher standard and they should be, but you will never weed out all of the bad officers in the hiring process just like you won't in the other occupations. The answer to this is not simply to have officers get a college degree. The problem is in human nature and a degree will not fix that problem. This is not to say that officers should not be better educated. However, to those that say every officer should have a degree, consider that you will be discrediting some of the best officers who ever lived when you make that claim. Some of the best, who know how to talk to people and deal with the public rightly, without violating their rights, never had a college degree. There are scores of blogs from officers and former officers promoting ethical policing, kindness in our interactions with the public, and understanding of what their job is in the first place. How about those of us who find it easy to group all police officers into the same boat, open their eyes to this and start supporting the good ones? Even if you say the good ones are few, do they still deserve to be grouped in with the rest of the "pigs"?
