SO, do we still blindly respect cops?

[Call Me V]

Wooooooooooow.

Is all I can muster.

Sadistic

The policing system is no longer working in the US. It isn't even just simple corruption like in the EU. Your police are just mean for fun. Sickos.

Police are the standing army our founding fathers feared....they were a creation of 19th century ideas and should be abolished. Only the local Sheriff should exist

 

[Freedom 4 all]

"Still" implies I did at one time. This is disgusting, but not particularly surprising.

 

[Elwar]

Respect their authoritay!

 

[roho76]

Is it me or did he look down right sinister when looking at the camera? He made my skin crawl.

 

[Danke]

I hope the paid administrative leave teaches these cops a lesson.

Probably do a little fishing on his paid Holiday.
Worst thing about this is that Cookville is a small city. The idea that big city tactics are taking hold in smaller communities worries me.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

lost my respect for government police long ago, never to return.

 

[Scofield]

Violently arrest the man. Check
Let police dog bite suspect. Check
Plant drugs on suspect. Check
Get paid leave. Check

Must be good to be a cop.

 

[brandon]

They were just trying to protect him.

 

[moostraks]

wow...that is horrifying to watch, but sadly not surprising. Gotta love the lawyers remark at the end, regarding how many times do you think these guys did this since they have a hand signal for planting the drugs.

one bump fo' 1X...

 

[satchelmcqueen]

bump.

 

[RideTheDirt]

still?
I never did.

+1 No entity should have police powers that are not directly controlled by the vote of the citizens.

 

[BlackTerrel]

Wouldn't shock me.... Though I really can't tell what he did in that video??? Hard to confirm.

 

[t0rnado]

I hate when people use the argument, "They were just doing their jobs." They fact that they get PAID to do this crap doesn't mean it's okay.

 

[catdd]

You know, I've noticed that most of the cops have gotten big all of a sudden. I wonder if they are screened for steroid use?
Roid Rage would go a long way in explaining some of this stuff.
