Quote:Maybe I'm naïve, but I find it hard to believe that a cop wakes up in the morning, puts on his/her uniform, grabs a cup of coffee and maybe a quick breakfast, and then thinks to him/herself...man, I hope I get a chance to shoot somebody today.


There has to be a butt ton of paperwork involved, not to mention being put on administrative leave...and then all of the investigations...and possibly a trial and an extensive period of time in prison, loss of job and family follows.

I think there is a very small percentage of cops that do walk around with a big swinging dick anxious for an opportunity to kick the [BLEEP] out of someone. There are enough videos out there to support this claim. I know for a fact there are members of hate groups that have infiltrated the prison guard system and suspect there are some cops who also subscribe to a bigoted perspective of the world.


That said, I still believe the overwhelming majority of cops are good people with a decent enough sense of ethics and right or wrong. Body cams would help take the guns and badges away from the cancerous cops who give all the good cops a bad name. And more training would decrease the number of people killed unnecessarily.
