I'm not going to say that police brutality doesn't exist. But I am also not convinced that all those were cases of unwarranted or excessive force.
Unless you've been on the opposite side of trying to subdue an enraged and drugged out person who is completely out of control it's easy to level the police brutality accusation.
Like I said, not ALL...there's also trying to subdue after asking someone to calm down and not resist and having to resort to tasing their ass and then sit on their head and legs until you can restrain them because they're being a complete shithead and a danger to everyone around them.
There's a reason I'm NOT a cop. I have no patience for the stupid and inebriated. I'd kick their ass, which is usually deserved.

ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for you, Erinyes. To live like that, empathy is a potent emotion, you're lacking it big time.

In my eyes you are not stupid and inebriated, you are just misinformed, which is possibly what is fucking up the human race.
