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.

Don’t try to talk the talk unless you have walked the walk ! I was a cop for ten yrs. And a correctional officer for 28 yrs. You can believe me when I say that , when your working the street alone . Most of the time you only have a secound or less to make a decision that might save your life ,or destruy it . If you make the wrong decision you may die , or the courts have a life time to punish you !
You think it might be because we have more uncivilized uneducated people that does think they have to obey the law?
well look what they have to deal with.
People wake up! If you truly want to see it turn around! It starts with us. How long have we believed that the democratic process cares about the poor? After all these years it has only got worse. It’s time to get these long term politicians out of office and send the message to future politicians, that if you don’t do your job, you will lose your job. Time to quit letting one party carry the White House or congress for more then 4 years. In the 8th grade I had a great history teacher, that constantly reminded us that we had more power in our pinky finger then the politician does, vote them in or out. To many people do not vote, and complian. We need to get rid of the electoral college also. Let’s elect politicians that will represent our views!,
Cops nationwide should just all call in sick at the same time, for a couple of months. The same whiners would be whining about no cops.
where do people get this garbage. if Police are forceful, it is because they are forced to do so. I would lots rather have a forceful police than to have my home invaded by the criminals that are being allowed to run over me and come in my home and destroy what they want. Keep being rough if that stops any of the out of control criminals that don’t worry anymore about being caught, they might be doing the bidding of some and some administration, but they are sure not people I would give a c**p for if they just went away.
Not buying it.
My sympathies go primarily to the police, who have to deal with violent felons, ex-cons, and a variety of lunatics running loose in the nation.
Could it be because they are forced to be!!!!!!!!!
Good I think thats great. They need to be on the peoples side, and show the rest who’s boss. They know how this country once was.
