[QUOTE="dgiharris, post: 73681636, member: 322579"] Yes, cops are human beings and not 100% perfect, I get that. However, there is one big problem with law enforcement that very few other professions have... Too often in law enforcement, when police demonstrate obviously bad behavior on a repeated basis NOTHING HAPPENS TO THEM. In fact, quite the opposite, the entire system swings into place to protect said bad cop. Police will write fictional police reports backing the bad cop's version of events. You can't tell me that this was "the first time" this cop was disrespectful to a citizen in this manner. No way, not a chance. I guarantee that "other officers" witnessed this cop acting in this manner before tons of times and not one of them reported him. Cops have a gang mentality when it comes to policing themselves, they just don't do it. Something has to be obvious and caught on video tape in order for any corrective action to be taken and oftentimes even that is not enough!!! It feels like a citizen quite literally has to be killed in order for police departments to do something. THere is a case where a cop was drunk and driving erratically 90 mph down the freeway into another county. This cop was arrested by a female cop. The Entire Local Law ENforcement community ostracized the female cop who arrested the drunk cop. Seriously? Yep! She ended up having to move to another county. In any event, if there wasn't thousands of hours worth of bully cops on youtube getting away with their behavior with NO REPERCUSSIONS WHATSOEVER then yeah, my attitude would change. But I can literally link you to thousands of hours worth of abhorrent behavior from cops that are still on the force. The proof is right there on youtube but nope, nothing happens. And that is my problem. Change that one thing, hold cops to the same standards that we hold pretty much everyone else to, and this problem would drastically be reduced [/QUOTE]
