(3,827 posts)accepted for years. For me I find it difficult to trust any man in uniform who beats, shoots, or tases an innocent person. Usually these types of cops are put on administrative leave (pending an investigation)-- Basically they're given paid vacation and a pat on the back by their mafioso-type Blue-line gang.
I could go into the harassment I've witnessed in my 40 years of living- Some was against me and my friends. And other times it was against strangers walking down a public street. I will say that some cops aren't bad- I'll also say that some cops aren't good.
But I am happy that videos like these are streamed on Periscope, FB Live, and posted on YT. Showing these to the world will make cops think twice about shooting an innocent person, or beating them to a pulp.
