You're as useless in here as you are on the football side of things

Useless? That's rich coming from a foreigner who knows nothing about life in America or the laws of the country, much less individual states. The only thing you do on this board is blame cops for everything. Never mind the fact that you come from a left wing liberal country where police aren't faced with the prospect of dying every day, because some low-life criminal might decide to open fire on them for something as insignificant as a traffic stop, (this has happened many, many times.) Cops have to make split second decisions and if they are wrong, it could mean they die. Criminals who disobey police orders put themselves in positions to be shot. All they have to do is comply with the rules. Don't run from cops. If you do, it is assumed you are doing something wrong and EVERYONE with an ounce of common sense knows not to make any sudden movements, because you could be reaching for a weapon. Despite common sense though, people still do it and when tragedy happens, who gets blamed? The cops do. They get labeled murderers even though it could be them laying dead if they didn't take action. 

Like it or not, we have the 2nd amendment in this country which means the majority of the population own guns. We also have a large criminal element which has them illegally and in many cases the gangs here, have better and more effective weapons than the police do. There is nothing we can do about that though. That ship has sailed. We simply have to deal with the cards we have now and that means cops are in CONSTANT danger. This is America, not Ireland. Americans face a whole different set of issues than you do in your ultra liberal nation, yet you constantly spout off like you know how to fix all of our problems and it seems as though it always starts with blaming the police. Police do A LOT more good than bad. 90% of police are good people. There are bad ones, like in any profession, but you seem to lump them all together, much like how racists lump all black people together. How about judging each situation on it's own merits before blaming police in a country you don't even live in? Stick to the football forum or better yet, go find a hurling forum. You probably are a lot more familiar with that, being Irish.

Thank you for the paragraph of things about America which are incredibly obvious and discussed plenty in here, including by myself. 

There's numerous cases of people "complying" with police who are still abused by the law and simply not complying with the law doesn't (read shouldn't) give police the right to execute humans. 

Also im laughing so hard at the irony of you saying racists lump all black people together when you said Christian McCaffrey was going to bust because he was a white running back. Pretty much the definition of pot calling kettle black....if you will pardon the pun!
