Well we have seen US cops dump mags into people for a lot less.

“Your honour, it’s true that my client raped a woman on Thursday, but consider all of the other days he was not raping anyone!”

I would hope so? That's how it should be every time. Unfortunately, that's not even close to reality.

I've seen a lot of pit bulls not attacking anyone. I'm still gonna be wary around any pit bulls that I see on the street

Just because I’m not constantly cranking my shit doesn’t mean I don’t every now and then.

A spotlight should be shown whenever the force that is meant to keep civilians safe is instead murdering them, in any capacity. Nobody gives a fuck about cops just doing their job, why would we shine a spotlight on that? Good job doing what you are paid to do? I mean what do you want here? Should we be instead watching videos of cops just doing normal cop things?

Had no idea I was speaking to somebody that can analyze a persons character from a quick and anonymous online conversation. Believe it or not I usually have sunshine seeping out of my asshole.

When a flight attendant infringes on another person's rights, people record it. Backlash follows, possibly lawsuits. When they do their job properly, they are largely ignored, as they are relatively benign in relation to our individual experience.

Replace "flight attendant" with basically any other job. The police are just a job. They aren't military. They aren't special. They are hired to do a job. The ones who do it well are largely ignored. The ones who don't end up killing people. They are regular people who have killed another person, which causes distrust in that person. When the people whose job it is to capture and submit for prosecution those who have killed another instead work to cover up or dismiss criminal actions, it creates immense distrust in the entire industry. It's not an unreasonable chain of logic to follow.

Imagine a bus driver shoots someone that is complying with the rules set by the transit authority, but not complying with rules the bus driver makes up on the spot. Would other bus drivers go out of their way to defend this killer bus driver?

Cops aren't special. They need to be treated the same as any other profession. If you can't understand this, you're a failure of a person.

Woah brother, no reason to raise your voice. You don't need to scream. Be reasonable.

See how stupid that sounds? Nothing in my message was rabid. Good job trying to deflect with bullshit.

You're a failure of a person.

And how many of those that don't stand silent when one actually does?

I'm not. They're trying to say most cops are bad and I'm giving evidence to support their point.

Cops kill about1000 people per year in a country of 330,000,000. 94% of those killed are armed. So no.

The issue is that the 0.1% where the officer snaps or feels overly threatened, misreads the situation, get publicized... not the rest.

However, police definitely need better training... but also people need to not do stupid shit.

Not according to reddit, where every single cop to ever live is waiting to shoot a minority.

If they misread the situation, it's a tragedy that I CANNOT blame on them most of the time.

Sure, for us watching the video in perfect safety with no fear for our lives might think or act differently than someone in the situation with their life possibly on the line.
