Just one question, buddy.....

Would there be protests, problems, everything that's going on right now if this wasn't an issue? Because as it is a common practice in America, people gather, protest, and get arrested fighting for their civil rights - for no reason whatsoever.......

BTW - I grew up a white suburban, "privileged", college educated person who now has a good job, married, white picket fence, etc., etc..........

Yet

Me, that demographic, I've still had all negative and zero positive dealings with the police. Like I've said ad nauseam:

Maybe somebody, somewhere has had a positive interaction with the police - to this day, I have not had one - doesn't mean there's "decent" cops out there (I'm sure those "Sasquatch Hunters" people have not seen The Abominable Snowman either, but they still believe), I'm just saying I haven't encountered it.....

 

For an educated person, your ignorance is bliss.  As you describe, you absolutely sound like you have been spoon fed all your life.  You deserve the opportunity to live in a society without law enforcement.  Jump on a plane and give it a try.

Yes, we need a police force, and yes, sometimes lethal force is necessary - but only as a last resort. I realize that, I'm not as dumb as I look.

But, some changes need to be made, otherwise we're going to keep having Dallasses and Baton Rouges. Here's what I would propose:

1. Yes, being an officer is dangerous, but it's still a job. Stop treating these a-holes like heroes and deities that are above the law. Coal mining is pretty dangerous work too, but those people signed on for it. They know what the risks are going in, and are willing to accept the hazards. Same thing with a cop.

2. Every single street patrol beat cop has a Dash-Cam and buttonhole Go-Pro constantly on - no exceptions, no excuses. There was a big deal a few years ago that they were "testing" that in L.A., what ever happened to that program? I think it's a perfect time to bring it back.

3. Every shooting is investigated, video is reviewed, and if it's deemed "self-defense", or "last resort", then so be it. But, if, let's say, I don't know, the cop unloads on a guy at a traffic stop that's reaching for his friggin' wallet, then you will be tried by a jury of your peers - just like a "civilian". If you're found guilty, you will then be handed down a punishment - just like a civilian.

Now, let's get the media to put this word out to everybody so we can stop with the murders (both cops and citizens), and riots, etc., etc.....

I absolutely agree police officers must be held accountable for their actions.  But you lose all credibility to suggest there is no such thing as positive interactions with police.  Such a statement is completely mindless and agreeing with the likes of Flutie most definitely ensures you have zero credibility. 

Allbutbroke: being pulled over by an American cop, is completely different than being pulled over by a Canadian cop...

you sound exactly like the National President of the 'Fraternal Order of Police'

ever been pulled over in the U.S. not like nowhere else in the world. Take your Canadian views (because that's all they are) and shove em' up where the sun doesn't shine..go play intellectual with some 12 year old...could you imagine, arguing over something this ludicrous, and your above the radar, politically correct asinine statements... all coming from a Canadian who's an expert on U.S. law enforcement procedures? wake up, and put your teeth in, you'll need them to chew the adversity....your commentary holds no merit, or weight, just another (un-American) liberal talking shitt, and expressing a minority point of view...enjoy your Labatt's Blue, with a Canadian Club chaser...

three cheers for the R.C.M.P. and the 'Hangover' boys from New Jersey

good story slob......
