In reply to the discussion: NYPD Illegally Raids House of Man They Brutalized For Throwing Gay Pride Party [View all]Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)18. I believe that you hit the nail on the head.
I have seen too many bullies go into law enforcement, and with the badge, they get even worse because they have power over others. And as a law abiding citizen, who should see police as good guys, I am terrified of them. All they have to do is look at me, which means that they notice me, and I cringe. It should not be that way.
