This really isn't the place for this conversation, especially when you're starting the topic with an apparent very, very narrow view of the facts. Yes, there are absolutely instances of police misconduct that should be prosecuted. That being said, you're getting most of your info from knee-jerk reaction rush to judgement news reports. In many (if not the majority) of these cases once the facts come out the public learns that there were extreme circumstances that lead up to the shootings. Either way, this is a topic that should stay away from this forum. Nothing...and I mean NOTHING good will come out of this thread. Doyley |

Let me interject a little something here..
I have worked with the same Police Department for nearly 20 years.. I have worked beside some of the finest human beings you will ever witness...
I cant count the number of times our officers had local establishments open on Christmas eve, and with their own money buy Christmas gifts, trees, food for families.. Not for fanfare, but
because they care about their community. The number of meals provided, bills paid for, car seats bought, etc our officers have done for our community with out a shred of news coverage...They just love the people they serve.
You don't see that in the news, because its doesn't sell... You don't see the videos of my officers doing CPR on a fellow that was just shot by another fellow, trying to save the very life of
a man that has been arrested numerous times, you don't see those videos.... You don't hear about the good works 99% percent of the officers do
What you have done is paint a broad stroked painting of US police which makes you part of the problem.... All aren't bad....
We just buried a friend/officer two weeks ago tomorrow, because he was simply trying to help his community and was shot down and killed in cold blood.... He was a good man, and loving Christian husband and father that would go out of his way to try and talk to people he arrested, and have them choose better lives....
He was not Evil... He was a good man that died for nothing....
Yes there are some bad ones out there... But not in my town, not my co-workers, and I do not appreciate them being called evil by someone that hasn't the clue what they do, or put up with on a daily basis..
Its ok, you are entitled to your opinion, but when it comes to my co-workers, my friends, you couldn't be further off base...

The head of the FBI told Congress yesterday there's absolutely no data to back up all these people screaming about the police. He said people are running on anecdotal evidence and that it's doing more harm to the country than what they claim is happening with police.
The network where I work has been covering things for months and reporting things that don't get put on ABC/NBC/etc. (did you know the guy in Tulsa had drugs? No? Did you see them saying Freddie Gray was high as a kite? No?)
You can't see the truth in most media today by listening to them. You have to dig and work to find the whole truth. It's an effort most people won't bother to make, and activist groups on all side of the political spectrum know it.

It's a sad world that there are corrupt officers out there that need to be prosecuted. It's also an equally sad world that other humans have to make mindless judgements based on little to no evidence and are so quick to join in on any mob mentality. 99% of people that comment on anything and I mean anything that involves the police have not got anywhere near the full facts and therefore making a poor judgement based on pretty much sweet fa influenced only by other like minded people who also do exactly the same thing thus creating the pathetic mob mentality we know today. OMFG OMFG I JUST SAWZ A VIDEO ONLINE WHICH SHOWED DIS COP SLAP SOMEONE! OMGZ OMGZ ALL POLICE IZ CORRUPT BRUV! BRAP BRAP |

But since when has shooting unarmed people ever been ok? Obviously the majority of officers are law abiding and do a good job, but I also think that these minority of officers who think they are above the law sort of set off a trend of their own.

I'd rather not watch it myself. How does something like that even happen? |

Did you just give doyley a shout to censor this post? I didn't call for anybody to censor anything, but, yes, I did tag Doyley to make him aware that the thread was here. It's cool to be able to have conversations that are about things besides golf, but this topic is a can of worms best left alone on these forums, and, as a logical adult, you should know that. At the very least you should have worded your original post differently. There are several contributing members here that work in law enforcement. Whether you agree or not, your post was a slap in the face to all of them. We already have enough drama on this board without this being a topic to delve into. It may or may not be your intent to cause trouble, but this is a topic (to Americans at least) that tends to get very personal and heated in a hurry. It's a VERY polarizing issue that this community as whole in no way needs, especially when you lead with your opening post that is absent of anything factual. What it did show is that you are truly ignorant of the actual issue and facts at hand. You tried to stir the pot in Taste's "If I were president thread", and I left it alone. This honestly needs to be left alone entirely. Many here can't have a civil debate about an online computer game, but having a debate about race issues in the US will turn out better? |

That's not what you said AT ALL in your opening post. The overwhelming majority of these "unarmed" people aren't unarmed at all...that's just what people are initially led to believe. You're either a troll (which is seeming more and more likely) or, as stated before, you are completely ignorant of the issues and facts of what you're talking about. |

I'm sorry you're sensitive to this topic but I will introduce a topic of whatever I want, no matter how controversial it may be. |
