Police are presumed to be a little above the impulses of the average person; their hands are largely tied, and it is understood throught their own training that this is the case. Much more so if we’re talking about a command-level officer.

This is easily understood in a courtroom where witnesses include a police officer and a violator (I know, I have been there.) The judge rightly gives deference to the account of the officer over the perpetrator. Otherwise, we would have no basis for truth in justice. Perhaps the cop is corrupt and a liar, but the stringent screening process to be a peace office is designed (hopefully) to weed out those with these types of character defects before he even gets to the point of dealing with the public.

Let me ask you this? What other perfect stranger would you call in the event of an impending life-threatening event, given you don’t have the legal or practical power to stop it? A random guy on the street, or a police officer?

As evidenced here, they are subject to the same sin natures and wicked impulses of any other individual.

And given that police have been caught and fined for lying in court, any judge or jury who automatically takes their testimony as true is foolish.

A random guy in the street is more trustworthy than a government employee when the government employee is clearly evidenced to be in the wrong.

Worshipers of government employees, however, object to that notion.

NEVER call the police. Never, never, never. No good can come of it.

What you saw was a criminal assault by a cop on a civilian. What you understood about what you saw is apparently another matter.

....but the stringent screening process to be a peace office is designed (hopefully) to weed out those with these types of character defects before he even gets to the point of dealing with the public.

The same stringent screening process that includes affirmative action?

Said process clearly failed in this instance. That pig with a badge brutally assaulted that women, who was absolutely NO THREAT to the officers.

There is no justifying what the pig did....they are supposed to be trained to use appropriate levels of force for a given situation. The pig may have had a legitimate cause initially to take the women into custody, but there was no reason to smash her in the face.

Said pig has no business having a badge and a gun. Anyone who tries to defend such a blatant abuse of force, as the action in this video clearly shows, is likewise a pig.

Seek help.

And find a fascist website to participate in. You do not belong here.

Cops are more trustworthy than the average person? Really? In what universe?
