Fox News reports that a woman has been awarded $7 million for a false arrest after SAVING A COP's LIFE!
No wonder cops get no respect. I will, for damn sure, think twice about helping a cop in trouble. This lady spent 7 months in jail on a charge of stealing the cops weapon after pulling him from a crashed cruiser. This is her reward by other cops for saving his life?
I say it again: Cops have to step up and fix these problems that they created. I sure ain't gonna trust any of them until I see cops reporting and testifying about the corrupt officers.
Stop using tasers as compliance tools. They are meant to stop an attacker, not to force people in wheelchairs to comply with orders.
Use common sense. Stop shooting deaf people and people with cell phones because they didn't comply with conflicting orders. I have seen video where one cop was yelling freeze, the other was screaming to get down. How can you comply? Move and get shot, or don't move and get shot. Great choice. Both are lawful orders, but following either violates the other. And the cops can justify a shooting, because you didn't both freeze and move. Talk about earning the respect of the citizens!
And I am sick and damn tired of this cop mentality that we ordinary citizens can't POSSIBLY understand the job. Try us! We are not as stupid as you keep telling us we are. And it pisses me off bigtime for you to infer that there is some great mystery to the job. There isn't. There is just ego and power that needs to be hidden for fear that you will be exposed as the coward you really are. Man up. Admit it when you make a mistake. When is the last time a cop said, "We made a mistake and we are sorry"?
Just get real.
