“So because there are a few bad apples, all cops are evil?”

When a State Trooper has to file a lawsuit to get other state troopers to stop harassing her and threatening her with violence, then I'd say there's more then a “few bad apples”.


Florida State Trooper Who Pulled Over Speeding Cop Sues 88 Officers in 25 Jurisdictions

From the Sun Sentinel:
Trooper Donna “Jane” Watts’ 69-page lawsuit, filed in federal court Friday, seeks more than $1 million in damages. She is suing more than 100 police officers and agencies, and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The suit alleges 88 law enforcement officers from 25 jurisdictions illegally accessed her personal information more than 200 times, violating her privacy…

Other agencies have already settled with her and so are not named in the lawsuit, according to Watts’ attorney Mirta Desir. Margate, for example, settled for $10,000 after two of its police officers accessed her private information, said Margate city attorney Gene Steinfeld. The two Margate officers each received a letter of reprimand as punishment.

More details on the kinds of retaliations alleged, ranging from sending pizza deliveries to her house to making threatening phone calls, in the Sun Sentinel article.Video clips of the incident:

But you never did answer the questions I asked you:

What kind of COWARD hits a mentally handicapped paraplegic in a wheelchair?
What kind of police officers ( there were FOUR police officers watching) stand by while one of their cohorts knocks over a mentally handicapped person in a wheelchair?
What kind of police department accepts this as “reasonable force”?

If you don't understand that these abusive actions against helpless people and animals is Sociopathic behavior, then it's possible that you're also a Sociopath, and completely lacking in human empathy...
In which case, my efforts at trying to get you to understand brutality under the Color of Authority is pointless, because you're *one of them*.
