1. about time
so many cops are out of control with power... I really wish their own would straighten their shit up. The more they make excuses for each other's behavior the worst things will become between civilians and police officers. Just because you have the might(power) doesn't mean you are right all the time.

2. I saw a story TV where a man caught a burglar in his son's bedroom at night and tackled and
restrained him until the police arrived.

I couldn't help but think that if that was the police who confronted him there would have been about three of them there, and if the burglar had resisted they would have tasered or shot him.

3. exactly... and it's because we keep reading or hearing from people we know
that cops are over-reacting or abusing power due to fear or anger.

6. Is there any wonder why many folks are afraid of police officers?
Lawsuit: Cops tasered 3 kids, threatened one with sodomy

Daniel Tencer
Raw Story
Tuesday, July 21, 2009

“Without physical provocation and/or physical gestures from B.B., Deputy Bowers held B.B. down on his bed and shocked him repeatedly with a taser. While he was tasing B.B., Deputy David Bowers threatened to sodomize B.B. As a result of this repeated and excessive tasing, B.B. urinated and defecated himself. Deputy David Bowers was aware that B.B. urinated himself after the tasing.”

“As Z.P. was being repeatedly tased, <17-year-old> Megan Geisler pleaded with Deputy David Bowers and Deputy Lonnie Lawler to stop. Deputy David Bowers ordered Deputy Lonnie Lawler to handcuff Megan Geisler. … Deputy David Bowers grabbed Megan Geisler by her arms, lifted her off her feet, and carried her through the male dormitory to a nearby closet. On the way to the closet, Deputy David Bowers lifted Megan Geisler off the ground, pressed her against a wall and choked her. While choking her, Deputy David Bowers said, ‘do you want to live or die bitch’ to Megan Geisler. Megan Geisler was then thrown into a closet. At this time she began vomiting and heaving.”

I was raised to respect authority figures, somewhat (Liberal family also believed that those in power have a tendency to start to abuse said power, be it a cop, member of the clergy, etc.)
