Is the NY TImes article about the report from the Justice Department BS? http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2014/12/cleveland_police_too_quick_to_use.html
Nope, it's not. Is the extrapolation in that report that proposes that even if the Cleveland rate is cut by well over half, and set nationwide we would be talking about millions of incidents of intimidation?
Here's a map where people combing the news try and get a handle on how many cases there are of excessive force.

That is from 2010, and you'll see a lot of things on that map. So I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that we have a problem. Nor do I think you can claim that millions of people being intimidated is BS.
Perhaps you mean that the Police have a far safer job than many others is the BS according to you. Well, that is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and there have been many news stories about it. Police never end up in the top ten.

So what exactly was BS? I'd be interested to hear your answer. Because I've now addressed the reasoning behind every statement I've made, and while I expect you to ignore it, it's here for the edification of yourself, and anyone else who wishes to know the truth.
