Can everyone agree that White American police officers are above the law? - No indictment in Garner case......

You know.. In my country we don't usually wrestle down a person who gets arrested.. The cops like ask politly to put your arms up and then one of them goes around you asking to lower your arms behind your back.. Our cops try to talk before actually take action which endangers more people..

The man sold sigarets.. And there are like 7 cops around him.. I think there is something wrong with the training and image of the us police.. Its not like " they are protecting us" but more "damn they are watching us"

I wonder why that would work in the Netherlands, but not work in the US.

Its  the cultural difference.. we tend to show respect cause in the end the cop has the gun, pepperspray, taser, policestick with him.. most dangerous stuff i legally could carry is a small knife.. I can understand an American cop has to act faster and with more force cause the chance of him getting killed by a suspect is much much higher then here..

The more I think about it, its not just the police but also the people themself.. I saw a video of a man who was stopped by the police cause he walked around with his hands in his pockets.. a store owner got scared he was having a gun in his pocket and called 911.. but the guy had his hand in his pocket cause it was freezing.. that way of thinking of the store owner is scaring for the future of the US..
