Well,"cause" is subjective.
I have seen few subjects posted on here at FR that have a more widespread difference of opinion then when a cop is being charged with abuse/brutality or other similar inappropriate behavior. It surprises me that so many here are so strongly anti cop.
I know I differ on this, in some respects, as my wife has a very low opinion of cops, which matches much of what I have seen here at FR. (NOT referring to you, but just in general)
Well, there are 3 good reasons to dislike police:
1. A bad experience (or perceived bad experience) with a police officer
2. The person has, is, or will be doing something they think is wrong/illegal and that person is subconsciously or consciously projecting their guilt as hate towards police
3. A person’s parents would taunt them, when they were a young child, that “If you don’t behave the police officer will take you away to jail!”
A healthy dislike of your government and it’s officials is fine....people just need to remember that 1 uniform isn’t all uniforms nor is 1 law enforcement agency the same as all law enforcement agencies.
I don’t believe that it is that subjective.
This officer did well and he did good. I am glad that he survived. He is not the type that draws criticism from the vast majority of the so called anti-cop posters.
Abuse of power is one of the major complaints on this board, whether it is President Zero or the cop on the street. Their duty is to protect and serve, not subjugate and harass.
The only things worse than the ‘bad’ cop is the ‘just following orders’ excuse and the ‘good’ cops who cover for them.
