To pay out 6.3 million dollars for police misconduct since 2011 does not exclude a couple of rotten apples.

Compared to how many police officers in this country?

I don't think anyone in this thread said that Baltimore doesn't have a policing problem. To say that all cops are crooked is blatent ignorance. The same can be said that all cops are honest. The good totally outweighs the bad in this situation. Yes it sucks that you have incidences like this, but this kind of conduct doesn't represent the ones that are honest and upstanding. These police officers aren't machines, they're human beings and human beings make errors and mistakes and can be dishonest. You have to take the bad with the good and it'll be like that as long as we have humans in charge of policing our societies.

Many more millions. 

 

As you stated which I agree with there are good and bad officers, but 1 is a accident, 2 is a trend, and 3 is a problem. 

 

This country is at a 3.

There are more white people in America. Most things happen more to White people '#s wise.

I could go on the internet and find tons of lawsuits filed against anyone..There's just some bad people out there, even police. But that doesn't make them all terrible and dishonest. Like a said, a few bad apples doesn't spoil the bunch..


Every night I watch the local news, and I see black people murdering, raping ect.. Does that make all black people terrible?


Each individual chooses what they want to see. If they want to see the positive in their community, they will. If they want to see the negative, they will.. If you choose to see the negative, that's fine, but that doesn't mean the positive doesn't exist..

Not all people who were protesting were acting like "animals". There were peaceful demonstrations going on.

Act like a lawless uncivilized animal, you get called an animal. That's my fact..

It is intellectualely impossible for a human to behave and have the IQ of a animal.


Animals do not drive cars, shoot guns, or attend school.


Your "fact" is more of like a stupid opinion trying to link humans to animals.

Didn't see many high IQ's dashing in and out of the CVS the other night with rolls of toilet paper..

Actually all humans are animals.  We are members of the kingdom Animalia.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
