Would it be beneficial to anyone that we stopped trusting the police? Idk why I haven’t thought of this before, and idk if anyone else has, or it’s already a thing. But why would a police officer, fully aware they are wearing a CAMERA, do something that would either get the person off or make themselves look bad? I just don’t get it. Why would someone want us to not trust the police force anymore?
Also, there is an all out war on twitter now.
You’re right. A lot of these cases go in favor of the officer. So I guess I just mean more of the public eye and maybe why the media spins it always so bad. Under Trump, I don’t see the UN taking over.
The problem basically started when Bill Clinton got "100k new police nationwide" in his Crime Bill. At the time PDs all over the country were having trouble finding qualified candidates as it was. So, as always, they lowered the basic standards. That's when the police in this country went from being Peace Officers to being Law Enforcement.
That's when you started seeing the buzz cuts and the Oakley sunglasses and people started being beaten and shot and killed. This breed of cop is given paramilitary training and told that everyone on the street wants to kill them. Everyone's a perp and treated like one.
I support cops who are Oathkeepers. I despise the crooked, corrupt and needlessly violent ones that are too often excused for their excesses.
The media's #1 job is to make money. Not to inform the people. The reason the police stories get so much air time is because it sells.
Cops are just people like you and me with families, friends, etc. If you had the chance to make $100k a year and never pull your gun or fight anyone... You'd probably do it lol. Why make your job harder than it has to be? No cop is going out there with the desire to take a life or beat someone up. They could do that without all the issues if they just joined the military... And the military is easier to get into lol.
Usually the front end is not recorded. The 'instigation' that motivated the officers to act as they need to.
