that's how i drive LOL. i'm always late. and people are going like under the speed limit in the fast lane. i'm like OMG get out.

Of course, there are going to be corrupted/evil/questionable police officers but I believe that most of them are good and put their lives on the line for us.
In any professions, there always going to be a bad doctor, a bad teacher, and etc. It doesn't mean all of them are bad. Outliers happen.

Our media is a bunch of corrupt bastards bent on spinning any story to get ratings.
Only the outlandishly bad cops are going to get media attention. It creates the illusion that cops are only doing bad things.
What's a better headline: "Cop Stops Armed Robbery" or "Laughing Cop Violently Beats Puppies to Death"?[/quote]

The thing is that if you experienced it vicariously from the internet or what ever, you would be like "Not all cops are bad it is just the media"
Until you really experienced in person, then your opinion is subjected to change.
If a cop tried to arrest me for what ever reason, they probably will think twice.
Because of the media now, i am a under 18.
And as they all say "The pen is mightier than the sword"
one phone call to 7 news, i can make the entire police station look bad

the ones that are racist cowards who use their position and weapon to perpetuate their hatred, yes. no reason to dislike those who genuinely care about protecting their people. i just roll my eyes whenever an officer claims that they "feared for their life" cause they would always be the one who shot a fleeing, unarmed person 8 times

Not all are horrible; that aside this guy was killed in cold-murder and it looks like he was hunted down like some animal..what kinda coward shoots a person in the back 8 times then goes and handcuffs them after =_= and plants evidence....honestly i don't know the laws in SC but i hope he gets the death penalty =_=

Kind of... They're annoying sometimes but if it weren't for them, I would be killed by now at a party or something.

Not all crooked.

Many people nowadays become police officers for the wrong reasons. Those are the same people who make other legit officers look bad.
When people hire police officers they really need to take extra steps into making sure the type of people they hire.

@GHSNinja: racial profiling? that makes sense. yeah, now that you have described more, she was being a b-. where you in a place filled with white people? something similar happened to me back in high school. i was in a store where white people go to and i was being followed by the security guard from the distance. it was funny.

[quote=nindow]@GHSNinja i dont know how its handled where you are, but there are curfew laws for minors. one of the reasons its implemented where i am is to prevent a kid from joining a gang. weird that you guys were stopped that early since its usually enforced late at night. either way, in the end nothing happened since you guys were just let go without a ticket or anything like that.[/quote]

my guess is that it was racial profiling, yes i said it, we are hispanic and shes white, she was being a prejudice C*** but the point is she made empty threats she cant threaten a legal adult with a minor curfew law, she cant arrest us because she just cant, she cant detain us because it would lead to nothing, she can give us tickets but without any proof of identification good luck with that, she literally had nothing on us and it makes me mad every time i think about it, Im sorry if im being prejudice against all officers but when POS like her are prejudice against us then i have the right to do that too

It's like the general populace think these few instances of police officers committing non-moral acts represent all of the police officers in the United States.

people forget that cops are human. these guys litterally get lip all day and can be shot and killed at any moment (depending on area) i would be strung up with stress if that was me and would snap at any minute. why test these guys. yea there are bad cops but that comes with being human. there are always gonna be bad people but you dont see me starting somthing with a stressed dude with a gun

@MrsGoat1995: Like how cops clump together all racial minorities?

Yeah I hate the police cause sometimes they shorten the school shootings and stop crime.

[quote=Xiscis]I hate a lot of officer who doesn't just abuse power but makes empty threats.
Like "If you don't do this i can have you behind bars this week end."
Had officer threaten me multiple times, on all occasion nothing was done, because i know my laws and they couldn't do anything.
if they arrested me i would just filed a complaint and try to sue the city for that bullst[/quote]

Me too, about 6 years ago me and 4 friends were going out to see Funny People (2009) in theaters it was about 9 pm and we got stopped by a police officer right in front of the theater, why? the only reason she stopped us was because it was "past curfew". Really are you F'ing kidding me? past curfew in the summer on a saturday? F that B
At the time our ages ranged from 16~18, when she stopped us she did the normal routine of asking for a license and stuff then she threatened to suspend my friends license (he was 18, a legal adult) until he turned 21 because we were out "past curfew", she told us to go home and being the dumb kids that we were, we actually did go home, and now every time i think about it i get mad AF, we shouldve just ignored her B**** ass.

[quote=xDracius]I always hope that people at least read the article before making some general comment on the situation as a whole; because this one is different from the rest. It shows that not only do these things can happen, it just did. About the only thing done right in this situation was that the officer was charged with murder; but with this amount of evidence there is absolutely no way he couldn't be.[/quote]

Yep. If anything, his partner should be charged too for not reporting it until poop hit the fan.

@aznseal: officers have a lot of loopholes so that they can either fulfill their job or get away with shooting at people. in addition, officers are trained to quickly neutralize a threat, which is sadly abused by certain officers. now im not sure why the officer grabbed the taser cause objects in a scene of a crime are supposed to be left untouched but i do know its a good thing that the man filmed that moment. regarding george zimmerman, he wasnt even an officer. im still disgusted that they actually let him go.

Events such as these really don't help since they inflame emotions and tensions from both sides. I don't see things improving if things continue the way they do; public trust and confidence will certainly go EVEN lower.

[quote=aznseal]Are you serious? It doesn't matter why the suspect was running away. You don't empty 8 shots into him. The fact that the officer went back to get the taser so he can put it on the dead body and then claim "he grabbed my taser so I had to shoot him" is disgusting. I gave George Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt. I thought what the police officer said in the Michael Brown case was possible. This case is a clear cut example of a thug with a badge.[/quote]

[quote=nindow]not me. i got helped by officers and one of my CJ professor is an ex-officer with an impressive record while the other one is a current officer who is really chill. of course i dislike the ones who ruin the reputations of police officers.

besides, in the current incident, im really curious as to the exact events that occurred before the shooting took place. Why did the black man run away? How did this escalate? Are there any other witnesses that could shed what exactly happened? Any other cameras that recorded this? What is the object that is thrown into the ground moments before the black man run? Based on what I've read, it is apparently a taser. If so, why was it thrown? Did the officer throw it after using it because it failed? Did the black man somehow grab it from the officer or knocked it from the officer's hands? All we know is reason why those 2 were there as well as the recording.

Honestly though, the media is going to be fanning the flames in order to make money out of this. cause headlines like "WHITE OFFICER SHOOTS UNARMED BLACK MAN", etc, is a sure way to grab people's attention and money. In addition, im hoping no asshole would go shoot an officer like that one guy in NY.[/quote]

What makes this different is that there is no other way to interpret this; no cloudy accounts of what really happened versus what did because of the video. This is also about as bad as it could get in terms of police brutality and their attempts to cover up the truth.

There was no danger at all to the officer, and he even tried to cover it up afterwards.

Not saying that all cops are like this, but it just so happens that the most unbiased documentation of police brutality is one of the worst-cases (IMO) out there.

"Protect and serve" actually isn't an accurate motto par with the established constitutional duty of law enforcement.

Law enforcement's respective duties are primarily within the interest of the immediate government rather than the subjective wishes of the public.

That being said, most of law enforcement are not as they are portrayed in popular media. The only reason stories like these pop up all the time is because of the selective reporting practiced by most news outlets due to their current popularity. This is usually worsened by social media trends, which tend to be guilty of confirmation bias, largely due to how the majority of the individuals who fuel social media trends happen to be adolescents or adolescent-like-minded adults.

Of course police officers are gonna seem bad and evil after they've been processed through the internet hate machine. Only the stories of bad police officers are going to be public and popular.
