This is the **** people are sick of...and yet ANOTHER reason people are protesting!! The PIGS involved should lose their jobs and possibly face charges.

Roll your eyes if you want, but I don't see it as a laughing matter.

Im playing devils advocate to say I respect what law enforcement tries to do and I am glad we have them I would never want to be in their position,,,YET it is unfortunate that there are some who are so wantonly dangerous and power hungry who slip through the cracks and abuse their authority/responsibility

There was a time when we would hear stories about the good cops, helping, doing good things, never hear those anymore. I respect them as much as they respect those they are SUPPOSED to protect.

So one cop does something bad and suddenly all of them are? So since some liberals are self righteous douche bags all of them are? Groovy! I love equation fallacies.

If it were only ONE cop and ONE incident people wouldn't be so pissed off...it's becoming an everyday occurrence. Can't help but wonder if this were an affluent white guy if more would be pissed about it.

He didn't know the guy was deaf and any prior medical conditions. $hit happens.
