I think that there are alot of cops out there that saw "Copland" one too many times and then followed it up with a marathon of "The Shield".
They are basically on a powertrip and think that they can just do whatever.
I live in an area where everyone knows the local sheriff. Word got around that the county had hired a new deputy who then shows up at the local gas station in full SWAT gear one evening.
WHY??? From what I understand because he could. Went from a mall ninja to a county sheriff in a county where there is virtually no crime. The only thing we have problems with around here are occasional meth labs and the locals have been taking care of that in thier own way because the mall ninjas are too busy pulling over local teenagers, yanking them out of the car and slamming their heads into the hood for no good reason.
The officer has already been given a reprimand for his behavior.
When I was in my early 20s, a county sheriff gave me the business end of a flashlight in the gut for mouthing off. Should I have been mouthing off to the cops??? NO. SHould I have gotten a beat down, probably not. Guess he must have had a stressful day.
I am not going to be an apologist for the likes of "Rodney King" he was told to lay on the ground, which he did not and he lunged at officiers several times, our great non-biased media doesnt show that, so they beat him senseless. Maybe it was a bit excessive and maybe they should of blown his sorry ass away instead. One less piece of human garbage in the world.
ANd Haunted, Blessings on your brother for what he does. Its a job I wouldnt want to deal with. I am sure that he doesnt fall under the category of "Bad Cop" but it seems to be developing into an epidemic whereas the police and the citizens are at war with each other. Sadly the citizens arent aware of it quite yet.
