There are good cops and there are bad cops. Not all are good and not all are bad. Always has been that way. On a side note, this site was dedicated to discussing politics not good cop bad cop.

Pervasive excessive use of force by law enforcement is a political issue.
The cops work for us. This is our country and our government. We control it, it does not control us.
That’s why these stories are posted and discussed. Our government and our paid enforcers are out of control and need to be put back in their place.
There is nothing wrong in pointing out bad behavior by cops. Shooting at a fleeing van is bad behavior. It is rarely appropriate to shoot at cars.
That IS a political issue. The behavior of the police has always been the responsibility of the politicians. It is a government function, and our politicians need to answer for how the cops act.
I’m in the county where the SWAT team fired over 70 shots at the guy who had not been found guilty of any crime. Our Palin-hating county sheriff is a Democrat tool who has been sheriff since 1980. He is no friend to freedom.
