And the police wonder why people don't respect them

Honestly with the trash they have to deal with day in and day out, too often the same ones over and over again, and the almost constant bashing they have to endure from the media I'm amazed that "switch" doesn't go off more often.

If they can't control that 'switch,' then they have no business being a person with police powers.

I agree with a caveat, there's only so much a sane person can take without going insane. They're only human.

Follow up on this.  Turns out the cops could NOT have seen the turn the Taurus made into the parking lot.  False pretense for the stop, then lie on the official report.

No. There are a handful of cops who are outright psychopaths, and for some reason, the police unions back them.

Example: here's and oldy but goody... I guess he was pushed passed his limit by an uppity Polish girl who cut off his alcohol.

See reply #28, Actually meant to put that in my previous post. I always hold out the possibility he was a ****head to begin with.
But I also know what the job can do to good people.
