[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3972977, member: 24531"] I think cops should all be paid six-figures; it is a dangerous job and they are expected to be adult baby sitters, attorneys, constitutional scholars, counselors, EMT's, all rolled into one job. I would love to divert some of my tax money to better policing and I have opposed defunding. As far as the lack of training, there are plenty of accounts that come out after the various policy "incidents" that make it to the public eye where there was a clear lack of training. But if you are asking me, I think de-escalation is common sense. There is a fine line between dealing with real danger vs completely un-necessary heavy handedness. Some of the hundreds, maybe thousands of interactions on video are sometimes unbelievable. It is what you would expect on the back roads of a 3rd-world country or Eastern Europe. Everyone knows it. And not all "incidents" are with criminals and thugs...this one is a perfect example and there are many like it. A guy was parked by the railroad who worked for BNSF and this officer shows why he should not be in any kind of position of power. He has no common sense. After you watch that entire video, you tell me why that most-likely conservative, law-abiding citizen in the video would ever support the police again? Rouge cops treating non-criminals like this alienates the main constituency that typically supports them. "I DARE you to move from there".... [MEDIA=youtube]LEitSm1KsiA[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
