Cops used to actually help people. A lot of cops now are revenue generators for local and state govts and a lot of them look to escalate situations rather than de-escalate them.
When cops get caught ****ing up, rather than anyone at the police dept actually being held accountable, they're given a paid vacation (they call it administrative leave) while the dept does an "internal investigation" until they can sweep it all under the rug, falsify reports, make up lies and make sure their stories all align and until the community backlash calms down.
And its being let out in the open now because of camera phones, instant streams, youtube/internet/social media. Add in the fact that our govt has completely lost its god damn mind and has been overreaching and over-stepping constitutional boundaries. People are tired of the bullshit, the corruptness of govt at virtually every level. Theyre tired of seeing the police get away with unlawful physical abuse and even murder in some cases.
Why do you think cops get fussy and whiney and threaten people for arrest when someone gets out a camera so they can film their interactions w/ police. It's because then the officer has to behave and follow the law. Especially a lot of younger cops now are just little afraid yes man govt yuppies. They think they're womanizers because they wear a uniform and a badge. You ever see how a male cop acts when he's around an attractive woman interacting w/ them. Chest is puffed out and it's all 100% macho badass mode...think Chris Farley "You know where the weightroom is" Tommy Boy scene.
But truth is a lot of these ppl have probably never been in a real fights ever or ever gotten their hands dirty, so they're scared, probably don't have a rich history in firing weapons until they got to the academy, unless their father was a cop or something, so they have some buck fever when having to draw their weapons. Most of this generation of cops don't even try to think logically and try to de-escalate situations, they're programmed from day one to hate the public as their enemy, and to use force when they think is necessary as long as "they" think they feel threatened. Shoot first ask questions later mentality, I mean you have kids being shot, elderly people being shot, people's pets being shot.
People are tired of it. I understand being a cop is a hard job and in most cases may got get paid enough for what they sometimes have to do or what they sometimes have to deal with. There are some real assholes out there. Our society is literally rotting. And these cops are humans too. The cops reflect our society, the more assholes out there the more asshole cops there will be too. Combine that w/ the infused militarized training and it's getting to the point where the water is gonna start to boil over the pot. Police are where the rubber meets the road when it comes to the public and tyrannical govt. If the police don't start respecting people's rights, then when all hell breaks loose and the markets crash etc..they're gonna be left alone against hundreds of thousands of people. They're preparing for it. It's all over the news.
You know i read about this Darren Ellingson guy from IA who was partying at Lake of the Ozarks a couple yrs ago and he gets pulled over by water patrol..which if you've ever had to deal w/ any of them, they're the biggest phony puke pieces of shit to ever have to deal with..they're put there to ruin people's recreation, nothing more/less. The trooper who pulls this guy over is a stand in trooper, a reserve who mostly did highways, and had very little training on the water. This bonehead trooper cuffed the kid, THEN straps a ****ing type-3 vest on him (this is your typical skiing vest that has 3 buckles in front and wraps around entire midsection), instead of a type-2 vest to wear his arms can be free, or at least putting him in the type-3 BEFORE cuffing the kid. Then the trooper travels about 40-45mph through choppy waters and the seat Ellingson is sitting on is high enough to wear his feet aren't even planted on the ground. So of course he flips out of the boat cuffed and basically in a straight jacket and drowns and the officer had little to zero urgency at all to even save this guy. He was a fat lazy piece of shit cop who claims he was in a hurry. Complete negligence by the MSWP, then they try to flat out lie about their official story as to what happen, but thankfully there were eye witnesses from other boaters who testified and then eventually led up to an investigation about said officer's training or lack thereof. Then one of their own troopers starters questioning the way the investigation is being handled, whats coming out and criticizing it's own training policies so he's then demoted after about 25 yrs in that dept, xnsfered to Truman Lake essentially issuing him an unofficial gag order.
Just corruption ****ing everywhere you look. People have had enough.
A cop's worst nightmare is to be locked up in jail along w/ the inmates he/she put there. And until the good cops start putting the bad ones in jail, this is going to continue to get worse and worse, with even more violence on a larger scale, ahead.
