Doesn’t look good does it. This type of behavior wreaks of ‘send a message’ behavior. Do these cowboys honestly see the folks up there as some sort of evil community that needs to be brought back under control? If so, a whole new crew needs to be brought in, one that gasps what their role should be.
Its the Us vs. Them mentality... a great number of cops these days truly believes they are in a war, they just call it a war on drugs, a war on crime. When infact its a war on the public... compounding this problem is the general level of fear your average cop carries while at work.
This is why we are seeing so many unarmed innocent's being shot these days.
