13. Believe it or not we have the same problem in Canada. Not as pervasive but with similar results

We had two cops in Vancouver fired for body slamming a women who had muscular dystrophy and accidentally bumped into them.

On the other hand ten years ago a bunch of cops shot a guy to death in broad daylight because he had a knife and was waving it around. He was a schizophrenic patient off his meds and well known to police. He weighed less than 150 lbs and could have been restrained with a quick leg kick.

That brings me to a pet peeve. Cops claim that their jobs are dangerous but think they should be able to use their guns in order to dodge a punch or scuff their shoes. Hell now they think they should be able to shoot you for being rude to them.

Truth is without their guns anyone of average fitness could kick their cowardly asses. That's what they are really afraid of/
