Police Power?...

[Ang2dogs]

Back in the day, if you played stupid with the cops, most likely you'd get thrown a beating, and most likely you deserved it, and noone complained. The majority of police officers I've dealt with during my teenage days were pretty much OK, you showed them the proper respect and they treated you the same, But there was an ocassionall just plain mean bastard that did push the limits of his authority. and now with cameras everywere, we get to see more police in aggresive situations. I can understand beating the crap out of an idiot that put the lives of officers and civilans in jepordy after a car chase, but this is UNCALLED FOR:

Now if this woman pulled out a hat pin, than I'd have no problem with the out come, And this is the image the public sees, and this puts all other officers (unfairly) in A bad light. It's always the few that screw up that makes the rest pay. There's idiots in every profession, and sorry to say police officers aren't immune.

I love how just the few instances a year that come into the public eye get so scrutinized by the "masses" that have no effin idea what police work is all about.

the Officer that:
----pulls you from your burning car after you've been t-boned in an intersection
----chases down the rapist that was on his way to your house to commit another "act"
----takes a gun off of a teenager that was gonna jack you at the drive-thru
----thinks of his loved ones as he/she enters the dark building to look for the dangerous felon so that the likes of you may have a safe and relatively secure society to abide in

Your type is the first to cast a stone when the 'jack-booted badge wielders' step over the line............but by the same token, your type would be screaming like a banshee into the 911 operator's ear in the event that something bad would be happenning to ya and you need help like ten minutes ago!

Go ahead and lose all your "respect", be sure that you don't call 'em when you need 'em!

You hit it right on the head, you'll never hear about any of the above. They only want you to see the bad parts, cause they have to show you they are in charge. Why do you think they have to put 40 rounds into a dude like they do in NYC? They don't want you and the police force to be friends, and it's puting a HURTIN on the men and women on the JOB who are trying to be for REAL!

The Video does not work for me... Says, Nothing was found from your search?

1. They bashed his face in...  ;D

2. If these people who are against this crap just happened to have been there when it happened, they would have been happy the cops were handing his a** to him so they could arrest him. Imagine if he'd gotten away... They would have freaked... Am I right? If they were there, they'd have a different opinion probably.

3. I hate the media.

I liken garbage like this to what happens when you get your order effed up at the drive-thru.

Once you see that it's the wrong order, or they didn't hold the mayo, or whatever.....you're gonna either be burning back there at warp-three, or melting a phoneline as you launch a tirade at the manager-on-duty!

BUT!!!
