I think American law enforcement is too aggressive! I think they should be more diplomatic! They seem to be trigger happy and aggressive! That attitude gets unarmed people killed. I want this to change! I think cops who are dumb jocks should be replaced with nerds! We need a more civilized society!
Not all American cops are too aggressive. And American cops are far less aggressive than cops in other countries. I'm sure many have heard horror stories of Mexican police. Even if you cooperate, it might not matter as there are so many corrupt ones. German and Italian police are pretty aggressive and it would be a very bad idea not to cooperate with them.
In this country, there is recourse and it's good that people are video crazy and increase the chances of police conduct is caught on camera.
There are no doubt some police in this country who are corrupt and don't follow rules. Most follow the rules and if those rules seem to aggressive, blame those at the top.
Cops have gotten pretty aggressive with property and money seizure after they were given power to confiscate money and property from suspected drug dealers. Of course, now they take money from average citizens and don't need to charge them, let alone prove that they are guilty of any crime.
It's not the cops who came up with this shit. It's government and once they give themselves power, they keep taking more and more.
There will always be corrupt cops no matter what we do, but it's always been hard fighting the system and always will be till things change. For now, people will continue to fear the local, state and federal governments because the corruption goes all the way to the top.
The left especially is blaming all cops for the actions of a few, yet they are the first ones to bash critics of radical Islamists because of the countless Muslim terrorists? Funny how the rules change depending on who is doing the criticizing.
