    Too many cops think they're reenacting Call of Duty or some warzone when and where they are not. Totally one-sided.

    A great example of the "he said she said" that comes with police interactions. A man claims that a police officer punched him, and the police department has been very clear that no officers punched him. And we'll never know what really happened, except for the whole thing where there's a security camera that shows the police officer knocking the guy out with a punch to the head while his hands are raised. A real mystery.

    @Juliet316 Read that blurb this morning. Craziest part is the town apparently isn't up an arms about it. Tells you just how racist they are.

    From the article: "Of the 2,500 people killed while fleeing since 2015, only 50 or 2% have resulted in criminal charges. The majority of those charges were either dismissed or resulted in acquittals. Only nine officers were convicted, representing 0.35% of cases."

    "US police kill more people in days than many countries do in years, with roughly 1,100 fatalities a year since 2013."

    Holy crap.

    What these articles seem to leave out is that the last town manager was black. It wasn't racism, it was the new manager getting rid of the good ol' boys system.

    That's a more nuanced story, so people need to make up their own version of it that's more simplistic

    Scary part is much of that force is very likely to agree with everything that is posted. Just a reminder that while you cannot say everything police department in the country is bad, many are still rotten to their core.

    This is like a speedrun on how many bad things a cop can do. All it's missing is an actual beating/shooting.

    He should have said the fourth amendment protects him from illegal search without probable cause. Not that it would stop those thugs, but just to educate his audience and get it on tape
