Because the only applicants that make it through the process are overgrown third grade hall monitors. The third grade also coincides with the peak of intellectual development for most cops.

I think somewhere in this thread is a discussion of the requirements for becoming a cop. Shockingly low.

Cops are afraid of cameras. I wonder why?

Quote:WATCH: Cops put VA mom in chokehold after her kids film cousin’s arrest from porch
Quote:“Let’s be real clear: You have the absolute right to stand on your front porch and record what’s going on in your front yard,” said defense attorney Steven Benjamin.
He said the apparent pattern of police officers harassing residents for filming video “erodes the public confidence in the police and public trust in the police.”
“Because an officer decided to prohibit what was the video recording being made on the porch, you then had the police creating a separate encounter that very quickly got out of control, putting the other officers at risk,” Benjamin said.

There are no doubt many police officers who go into the field for some high minded motivations involving public service. The nature of the job has got to be a contributing factor to why they go bad like this. But then there are probably plenty of other cops that are assholes when they join and just get worse.

So it seems that the criminal Albuquerque cops don't think they can do enough damage with 9mms.

True. And not only do police departments tend to attract bullies that love prove their worth with force but that's the type of people they seek to recruit (somebody who will stand up for the "law"). Urgh. There's many great cops (actually the majority probably) but just too many of them are the school bullies who want power which makes the whole thing a disorganized/corrupt problem.

And then the rest of the system rallies to their defense....as it did with this scumbag.

Quote:Protests erupted last October over the fatal, racially charged police shooting of 13-year-old Andy Lopez in Santa Rosa, California, after his BB gun was mistaken for a real AK47. Yet shooter, Deputy Erick Gelhaus won’t face any criminal charges.
The Sonoma County District Attorney announced the incredible decision late Tuesday. In the battle of the white washes, he sheriff’s office’s investigation won, concluding Gelhaus did not even violate any internal policies and procedures and will not face discipline, other than the suspension he already faced while the investigation was pending.
What’s worse, is that outcomes such as this are not even as shock anymore.
