Being an alum, my fb has lit up about this. Pretty awful. Maybe the general outrage will result in something good.

Why wouldn't you do what a police officer says? People may disagree or hate me for saying it, but in all my experiences, simply following what a cop says typically works out. I hate to hear people label cops as fascists or assholes. Some cops do love the power trip. But it's only "some" cops. The large majority care about people much more than the job and go to work every day wanting to help people

I'll say this: having to oversee a police department (not directly, but we approve the budget, hire the police chief, and manage guy who manages the police chief on a daily basis) for the last couple years hasn't particularly improved my opinion of cops at all.

Not that any of this is a surprise, but it belies the defence of "just a few bad apples."

Seriously. At what point do we start graphing this "anecdotal evidence" and just call them statistics?

Around the same time that white males get profiled as being at higher risk for spree killing.

One of the things that continue to give me hope is examples like these that show how incompetently arrogant institutions of power are. Come on, show us you love us and do the propaganda work for us. Oh crap, we don't have absolute control over this.

I'll say it again: in a question of stupid vs. evil, always put your money on it being stupid first.

Yup. And the thing that keeps them in power is that, for the most part, we can be just as stupid.
