(18,186 posts)entitles cops to turn the local streets into a fucking war zone?
That somebody who failed to make a probation meeting or pay a traffic ticket or return a library book should be chased around town in a high speed manner that puts the entire community at risk?
You believe the job of being a cop entitles cops to treat all humans like their personal playthings? Because that high speed chase over a measly warrant could have killed many people, and put many, many more lives at risk than just that little boy's. In a case last week, Michigan cops (I believe) were chasing a seatbelt violation and ran through a red light and killed somebody.
This is how cops are allowed to behave in your book? Like life is a goddamned motherfucking free-for-all, and public safety be damned?
How is it cost-effective or in the interest of public safety to allow cops to go off half cocked like a bunch of lunatics? How do they get a special pass in your mind, so much so that you claim they 'did nothing wrong, move along?'
Are cops above the law, above common sense? Do you believe they should escalate situations that are NOT life and death situations INTO life and death situations because they are special goddamned snowflakes?
The cops and marshalls are COMPLETELY to blame for using a goddamn sledge hammer to put a tack in the wall.
That people think cops should have free rein to treat our roads and neighborhoods like their own private high-speed fun zone makes me want to PUKE.
I just hope you aren't a cop anywhere near me. The cops in my area don't serve warrants this way. They don't have to, because they have something called COMMON SENSE and also a REGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
