Quote:In this specific case or in general? I can link you endless stories of aggressive Police behavior, in this case it APEARS at this time that the cop was overly aggressive and killed the unarmed boy I haven't seen that disputed anywhere.


This is a result of the war on drugs, war on terror, type redirect. When you arm policeman like a military, give them military grade weapons and armored vehicles. trump it up in every movie every show you end up with over aggressive cops.

 

Ok, but you continue to say that the police have become more aggressive recently.  I don't think much has changed in their behavior.  I do think that with an increasing population and the type of people they have to deal with, you have to cut them some slack.

 

In a lot of cases they deal with the worst society has to offer, so if they are a little forecful without crossing a certain line, I have no problem with it.  They dont know if you or I carry a gun or a knife, and they want to go home to see their family at night.  So if they want to make me get on the ground or throw me down because I'm an idiot that doesn't want to listen...go for it.
