Most police officers do an amazing job at what they do: protecting and serving the American people. Despite this, there is a serious problem with some cops assuming that their badges grant them extra rights. Last year, police killed 1,100 Americans. The first five months of 2015 saw 476 deaths at the hands of American police, with over 1,100 predicted by the end of the year.
You may think that these numbers seem low, considering there are over 300 million Americans. But, when you consider the killing rate of our police officers in comparison with the law enforcement of other countries, it is very embarrassing.
Japanese police killed one person last year in a country with over 100 million citizens. Icelandic police only killed one person in its entire history. And, to top if off, American police have a murder rate worst than the homicide rates of the two most violent countries in the world.

No they are just trying to stop the violence that the ideots are trying to stir up that is all they are just doing their jobs
Truth and action is telling you the whole truth and they only show the police action and not the reason for them being there, like the action of the thugs
Ah, how about punks, thugs, drug pushers, and petty criminals out of control?
Look at what they have to deal with.
I don’t worship cops Christopher Larson I respect them. Look at Baltimore everybody coming down on cops so they back off from where they’re needed and now the crime rate has doubled. Maybe you should show a little more respect for them. Put yourself in their shoes for a while and deal with the people they have to and you might change your mind. Or maybe your part of the problem!!!!
I am very proud of our police…they need to be tough on criminals….and they need to go home at the end of their watch alive and healthy. My son died on duty.
American police face more violence than most places in the world. The Blacks have an at$#%&!@*ude from hell. Do you think white people do not get stopped, questioned and whatever it takes to make our country safe, Yes it can be aggravating but if you develop an at$#%&!@*ude first thing then you get an at$#%&!@*ude adjustment as you should. We could change most of this by respecting the law. It is written for ALL of us to abide by. If I were a white policeman I would not go into a black neighborhood nor would I try to subdue one. This is what makes it so hard for blacks and whites to live in harmony.
