I feel sorry for the cops.
But, like so many other people who abhor the needless and wanton shooting of dogs and innocent old people, I will stand on the sidelines and shrug my shoulders.
I see this as one pack of society-hating hoodlums attacking a well-paid, professional pack of hoodlums, with the property of the innocent middle-class caught up as collateral damage.
Wouldn’t it be nice if cops today could count as they once did on the SOLID support of ALL non-criminal civilians..?
Gosh, I WONDER how cops might change in order to re-capture that support, huh.
stop needlessly shooting dogs
stop needlessly manhandling old people
stop needlessly raiding the homes of terrified, law-abiding people
STOP these things and the very great bulk of law abiding people will support you, will give info to you, will be polite to you, wave to you.
PS - I don’t care about Trayvon and his many clones.
Do you know how many thousands of cops are on the job 24/7 365 days a year compared to how many incidents of misconduct or mistakes?
If I had a magic wand, I would make you a cop for a month.
