Re: What's up with the cops these days?




Here we have cops shooting a innocent woman, and then lying about the incident. Claiming to have his arm rolled up in the window, a witness who saw the whole thing says otherwise.

Re: What's up with the cops these days?

I believe we're in an "it's your job" argument. However, I also feel that way about the military. The military is a great way to get an education and some amazing experience with some cutting edge technology. I understand and respect the sacrifices the military folks make, but it's part of job that is well known. The military opens up some incredible opportunities for those who pursue a career there. You get a chance to travel the world, get a heavily subsidized education, and hands on experience with some cutting edge technologies. After the military, it's also to get placed into the market. We have someone who has a full-time job as the former-military liaison to recruit them to our company. I've seen a lot of military guys come in for positions they were not qualified for simply because of that background.

The reason why the negative things come up is because that's what gets reported. Saying "Policeman does his job" isn't really great news. I don't want to read that, neither than you. There are the occasional stories that highlight those that go above and beyond, but those are relatively rare. Most cops are great people with good intentions, but a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

I suppose it's because we don't have a "kudos to cops" thread that comments here (I'm sure many without knowing the full story of what happened) stand out.

Perhaps it's because of the negative nature of the majority of the threads in this forum but it seems like a lot of people here are anti "The Man" to somewhat absurd extremes. Or I could just be making assumptions, probably am.

That said, I don't really buy the "it's your job" argument. Yes, they've chosen to put themselves in a position of danger at nearly any given moment. But, and I know this may upset some, but people willingly join the military and are lauded as heroes, yet it seems to me police officers often aren't.

Again, very sorry for your family's loss

Yes, one police officer who was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for what he did.
