OK police we get it. Many of you think it's a "us" versus "them" situation in which the term "peace officer" no longer applies anymore then does the phrase to protect & to serve".. like you have some kind of special innocence no one else possesses
I cannot emphasize strongly enough how a few dozen protestors or cops screw things up for the other 99%. It's more then over due that both sides stand down. Cops shouldn't challenge every person they meet by screaming at them and over reacting by first clubbing or whipping out a gun. On the other hand, every time someone does something stupid they shouldn't expect police to passively coddle them when confronted. Just shut your mouth and deal with it later.
If someone's acting like an ass no police officer should have to put up with that kind of stuff. Show some respect. In return if some clown is jaywalking or selling some illegal goods on the street doesn't mean they have to roped, hog tied and be taken downtown where they'll be out in the streets within the hour anyway when a citation will do.
There's not a doubt in my mind some cops have bias when they see certain individuals based on dress or ethnicity. Nor is there any doubt in my mind certain people react against someone wearing the uniform in all circumstances no matter what. No one likes being hassled. Not the cops nor the person they come in contact with. The key here is to understand how each presents themselves towards the other and how each sets off the others misconceived perceptions towards one another when they do. This is why both sides need to show more restraint and respect then they do.
Both sides need to grow up and stop acting like bullies in which neither side can win. No good can come from it.
