Bro its like everything else...its the BAD ones that ruin it for everyone else. Certainly there are some real dangerous cops out there. How many times did cops show up at an underage drinking party (uninvited no less) and end up spliting a kids head wide open and then ARREST the kid for assault?
Too many cops feel it ok to break the law as a method of enforcing it like violating the fourth amendment, beating the piss out of a guy because the guy swore at him.....stealing money and drugs from crime scenes....these cops are out there Bro. I know this for fact.
But their are also cops out there that would litterally risk their lives to pull a child out of a fire. Without the police we would not be safe. They have a very tough job.T
he trouble is that "GOOD DEEDS" do not usually make national news. If they did, we would know that there are many more "good Cops" than bad.
But bad cops do exist and I am glad they do not get away with what they did when I grew up back in the seventies.
But yes, MAY COPS get shit for no reason out of fear....but they need to start cracking down on the crazy ones from withing their own ranks
Look at that poor black college student that got filled with lead as a result of the police showing up at a small paty there was a fight at.
You telling me they shouldnt have tried to shoot the tires out of that kids car before blasting him?
An almost identical thing happened to another black kid in South Boston about ten years ago..the kid was told to stop and instead he took off and so they shot him down over basically nothing.
Bro, ask any black guy or girl what it was like growing up in a black hood as far as the cops were concerned. Damn I stopped at night to say hello to a cop I knew years ago in the black section and all the sudden he and two others pull out their freaking guns and point them at this black kid and make him get out of the car just to see what he was up to! He did just leave a dealrs house..but there was two other apartment there too and the kid ended up his mother lived in one of the other apartments.!
Bro, I was talking to a BLACK COP one time about this stuff and he told me stories of how he rented a big car to go to a wedding and on his way home just because he was black driving an expensive car in a poor hood the cops pulled him over and smashed out his fucking tail light! (for an excuse for pulling him over)
So the cop doesnt tell them who he is and they next tried to mnake him illegally get out of the car so he gets out and they search him and find his police ID.
When they asked why he didnt tell them he explained that his fourteen year old son claimed he was just walking home when the cops in that hood stopped and searched him for nothing. They told the kids mom he was seen near a pot dealer (it happened in front of the house) So the cops asked if it was them and they admitted it so he warned them never to go bear his kids again (now he had proof they were profiling bigtime)
Fucking Johnny cocran got pulled over the same way when he was an LA District Attorney lol
anyway enough on this black tangent I got on.
I could tell you 10 x as many white stories as Im white and my two uncles were Boston Police men back in the day. There retired now.
My take is that most cops are good cops......but there are plenty bad ones considering they are supposed to uphold the law.
The cops in my town used to pull over teenages and make them get out of the car and search them which is totally against the fourth amemdment. I wrote a complaint to the chief and it stopped. This is what it takes..community involvement.
If we see an injustice we should report it,
Just dont break the speed limit or park more tha n twelve inches from the curb or apply for a gun permit in that town after you do it lol
