A cop doesn’t need to get violent.
If a cop abuses his authority, that’s also a type of Police Brutality, IMHO. Am I right?
Also, which cops are the worst? In the media, you hear most often from the big departments like LAPD or NYPD, but I think GENERALLY police in the Midwest and South are the most corrupt. What do you think? That said, there are of course many fine upstanding and hardworking officers who put their lives on line every day to protect the American people, but–like in any big organizations–there are also the black sheep.
Seriously, it’s true. Some cops think there are 10 feet tall and bulletproof. I’ve seen some police officers abuse illegal immigrants, knowing they won’t do sh*t, since they’re afraid of getting deported. But what really ticks me off is seeing them take pride on what they did. Cops are humans and with 3 months in the academy, they’re not professionals. It’s because of cops like them, that have made a real cop’s work more difficult.
And in regards to LAPD & NYPD, for some damn reason if something happens, Los Angeles are the first ones to go through it. They were the first ones to kill a suspect for stealing a car on live television (The guy was also shooting at the police).
Another incident occured in L.A. where 3 Police Officers died in a shootout, and they found their empty magazines in their pockets. They were actually picking them up during the shootout. Since then, Police Departments across the U.S. started training differently.
