Looks like you might have a bit of a 'tude when the popo comes around. They only give what they get, in my experience. I've never had a bad experience with law enforcement. The Shore Patrol dragging me away from a bar for drunken brawling doesn't count.

Bullshit.  Like some others around here you conveniently ignore the fact that when cops commit an atrocity there are usually other cops around who back up their stories.  When Laquan McDonald was executed by one cop on a Chicago street there were nine others right there who did not fire their guns but who lied to Internal Affairs that McDonald had "lunged" at the killer kop when in fact the video shows him staggering away.  Tell me, dear nazi cop-lover, are they "good" cops because they didn't shoot or are they "bad" cops because they lied?

When Michael Slager shot Walter Scott in the back while he was running away he then went back to where he started, retrieved an object which he then planted at Scott's body in full view of a second officer.  I suppose planting evidence is fine police work with you.

Thank heaven for video cameras.  They help to explode the myth of all these goods cops you think are out there.

That was dumb.

Suppose it’s true that I’ve seen a different reality than you have. Then it’s my concern, not yours.

American cops support racial oppression.

No doubt that you and Min and some others live in a la la land reality. Your personal experiences, or what you've seen on the news doesn't prove that all and every cop in America are racists. By your reasoning I could just as easily say that the violent actions of bamn and antifa represents every person who's left of center.

Just because of a few bad ones, to accuse all American cops of supporting racial oppression is an outright lie.

Just as a few good theists does not outweigh the majority who have caused harm through misguided well-intended thoughts and actions, also a few good cops does not excuse the harm done by all the bad ones who enjoy abusing the power at their disposal.

Even the American cops who, you know...aren't white?

Or, the actions of the few bad ones doesn't justify the murdering of other cops.

The identity of the cop killer is Quentin Smith who has a criminal history including domestic violence and is also a convicted felon who spent time in prison. His wife hid in some bushes in front of their residence as she called 911 and said that her husband shot the police officers.

There is a reason this sort of thing is made.

If it's on Family Guy I guess that settles the debate. That was even more dumb than Wyrd's response...Dumb and Dumber.
