Statistically speaking Americans are 29 times more likely to be murdered by a police officer than by a "terrorist"..
They have become more of a problem than the "criminals".. Their behavior engenders ditrust of themselves, the law, and society.
He (the PO) should be mourned as a human being, not because of his position.
You personally witnessed police officers (you say plural) assault and steal from those they knew could not defend themselves.... What happened when you reported these occurrences? I'm sure you wouldn't let your fellow man be robbed and assaulted without at least notifying any of the federal or state or local agencies that investigate these matters. Who did you report it to? There would be a case number, Internal Affairs number, event number....please, do tell.
You are a troll. You throw something like that out and you will nothing substantial to back it up. Except your unverifiable comments.
By the way, you knowingly get in a car and drive every day, full aware of the dangers that could be awaiting you. So if you, someone you know or someone you love, were hop in a car today and be killed form one of those dangers; so be it. You/they knew the risk and accepted it when you/they turned the key. Doesn't quite sound right, but that is your sentiment portrayed with different actors.
I stand by what I said. Your attempt at belittlement of my statement is pathetic and tragic. I have witnessed things done by cops that could be prosecuted as war crimes in a different setting. NOTIFY the authorities... Is that a joke, they are all butt buddies. I called internal affairs one time to report an officer whom I witnessed stealing a gun. The reply from the attending officer was that it was not possible because he personally trained that officer while he was at the police academy and he was sure that would never happen. Lesson learned. In my opinion all police departments should be subject to civilian review boards. You obviously have no idea how the real world works. Cops give themselves a bad name by acting in such an unprofessional manner. I give no more deference to a police officer than I would to any other person on the street. Quite the opposite, in my experience they are nearly all crooked and backed by the system they protect.
For the record I'm squeaky clean, and have the FFL to prove it.
