How many of us have murdered someone and covered it up? Many people in communities had been complaining about cops doing it (not all cops, just bad ones). No one listens to them half the time because they are either poor and its their word against the cop. The cop not only planted evidence but they got caught lying about the whole case and he would've gotten away with it had a citizen not taken cameras. It must become manditory for all cops to wears cameras because of this now. The trust in this country is fading.

Way to go overreaching.

 

What I said is that when people screw up they try to cover it and lie. Or you never done any of the two to protect yourself? As I Said the difference between your screw up and a policemam are quite different. And working under the stress is complex. I'm not defending the guy, but do you know all the circumstance? Do your work put your life at danger daily?

 

People say cops are trigger happy and profillers. But they are even quicker to judge, condemn and generalize.

 

About the statistics they don't tell the whole story, would anyone want Police to be killed 10x more than they kill? They are trained to come back alive and shot precisely, killing only if ultimatelly necessary (abuses and mistakes do happen).

 

About the cameras. Police would be sued all the time by tapping everyone. Besides that everyone is protected by law (police and criminal alike) from producing evidence against himself.

 

About coverage. Media want uproar and stand by the criminal. Besides that the left wing day job is to undermine the police, protect thuglife and blame the victm.

There was nothing that was being generalized, the cop was crooked, thats all (not all cops). He thought he would get away with planting the evidence on the kid. Cops are paid by taxpayers and are public servants. They should be held accountable by the people. Its sad you have to fear for your life just by holding a phone up in front of them. The kid who recorded them is remaining anonymous. Very wise. That cop just screwed all of the good cops because the mayor just ruled that all cops in the area have to use body cams. It will force cops to start thinking ahead of time about whether what they are doing is right or wrong. Before cams a cop could kill any man and it would be their word against theirs.
