Please Justify This Police Action For Me

[Rev. Rye]

Strongly disagree. These are ostensibly the people we’ve entrusted to help keep us safe. To that end, we’ve trained them, armed them, paid their salaries, and have given them a virtual monopoly on deadly force.

We have EVERY right to expect a higher moral and ethical standard from them. If they can’t provide or live up to that standard, they should choose another profession.

Then you won't have any cops.


They are no different than any other schlub on the street - and they will be the first to tell you that.

Their ethics and morals don't come from a textbook or a seminar - but like everone else - a life lived.

I can remember them saying something like that on Dragnet, something about the flaw in police hiring being that they have to recruit from the human race. And even then, LAPD propaganda as it kinda was, they pointed out that it was still a bad thing.





To you, shit like this seems to be just part and parcel of doing business. Take away the ability of cops to mace 9-year-olds, and you have no police.
