I’m on the right, but I’ve never been a huge fan of cops. It’s not so much that I hate them. They have a tough job. The law makers make their jobs a lot harder by passing a crap ton of stupid laws. I’ve actually had very good interactions with cops over the years.
And I’ve seen a lot of unfair criticisms of cops by a lot of people, but when people NEVER criticize the cops even when they’re clearly in the wrong we have a problem.

Yeah no.

Yeah no.
You want me to comply? Then you speak to me like a human being. You be calm with me. If a cop had yelled at me like I saw in the video with the LT I would be a mess. There was no reason for any of that. The LT did nothing wrong to get pepper sprayed.
There are bad cops. I mean really bad cops. If you want people to trust the police you need to call out the bad ones. I’m glad to hear the cop in that incident has been fired, but he should have been also charged with assault. There was no cause for pepper spraying the LT.
I am thankful I’ve never had that kind of altercation with a cop and I hope I never do. Not everything is always as it seems so in some cases it’s wise to wait for all the facts to come out before we criticize but in this case, that was a bad cop.
We sound like morons when we say stuff like, “just don’t break the law and nothing will happen to you.” Where have y’all been for the last year or so? People getting arrested just for sitting somewhere without a mask. Is this ok with you?
At some point we are going to have to realize that we are all over policed and it’s due to a state that’s too big and laws that are too numerous. Those in power are making it worse and worse by the day. We need to have real conversations or it’s not going to be solved.
