Being nice to cops or even saying courtesies seems to be a bit to ‘assumptive’ for police these days, as shown by this Miami cop who thinks that saying ‘God bless you’ is somehow disrespectful.
Then we have a cop from Philadelphia who threatens to ‘beat the sh*t’ out of a teenager for simply making eye contact with him.
Both cops are under investigation.
welcome to obummer’s America
I guess you can fired for saying God Bless You and now you can get arrested.
I would not want to be that cop when he meets God
We now live in a police state because of Obama! This cop is just taking his attitude out on the kid because he knows he can get away with it. Animals like this are just as bad as criminals. They put you in fear, threaten to do bodily injury, and these are the guys that are suppose to protect and serve the public. I think he needs to consider a new profession before he kills someone!
This cop should be fired! No doubt about it. He is out of control, threatening like that? Cursing at a citizen, calling him names? Shame on him for losing it over something so simple. The kid was being nice and all the cop had to do was walk away? You can’t throw someone in jail for saying that! That cop is a bully pos! Fire his ass, he is a loaded gun ready to go off.

“I disagree with the officers reaction, but I am not sure that the public can understand what the huge amount of pressure there is for police officers around the world! Just knowing you wear a badge, in this world, puts you at great risk everyday! To do this day in and day out plays heavy on those that choose to serve the people! Serve, defend, and uphold the law is part of the oath! Sadly and often not knowing who the real and most dangerous of persons are that could threaten your very life is a constant reminder that is in the back of the minds of many officers! The pressures, day in and day out, of wondering if I will be going home to my family today, surely is unbelievably overwhelming and stressful! I understand that there are some bad officers out there, but like I have often said, when the moment arises where an officer is needed, one is there to help us all out of a predicament, often putting their life’s in danger! That, to me earns them respect! Not entitlement to be abusive, but let me ask here; would you want to, in this world, do their job?”

Gestapo!
These so-called cops needs to be fired now. They are professional enough to wear the uniform of the law.
All “we the people” can do to stop bad LEO’s is to catch them on film, hire a good lawyer and sue the hell out of these bad cops!
