Why Does Public Tolerate Illegal Cop Behavior?

[Revoltingest]

Mostly i cheer for the dogs to bite them more.

Maybe others feel the same

Alas, many others do.
Call me a fanatic about constitutional rights & restrictions.

Lucky for you, you've the luxury to fanaticalize
to your hearts content.

Here there are so many pressures, so many people, so much deep history of everything spinning out of control, massive destruction and loss of life- its a luxury to have a strong government.

You get to have a really strong government.
Too much so for me.

I doubt you would find you fit in well
here.

prairie and arctic tundra plus desert and Paris
and and but this is home.

I'm an experienced world traveler.

I've noticed on this forum that when a civilian does something wrong,
eg, commit a crime, insult a cop, behave suspiciously, some posters
(no names) condoned cops over-reacting & violating the victim's civil
rights.
The attitude is that if you do wrong, you deserve any consequences.
It's a license for angry cops to do as they please...& what pleases
them is often brutal assault, even death.

In this video, the interesting thing is in the posts below. A woman
suspected of shoplifting & hiding in bushes has her scalp ripped
away by a K9. Viewers blame her, & justify the attack. As long
as the masses tolerate bad cops (& bad dogs) it will continue.

Some people automatically assume the cop is right and the suspect is wrong, some people automatically assume the cop is wrong and the suspect is right.

It's bloodlust.

Like the Roman coliseum, people are immensely entertained watching others misery unfold in the arena.

Only now it's put to a variety of orchestrated musical scores to enhance the drama and suspense.

Those shows sicken and disgust me when they make entertainment of people who clearly need help. It's "prime time television" to see people's lives ruined over petty drug possession. And that people are always dumb criminals instead of humans who are scared, it's disturbing America has ate it up for so long.

I don't tolerate bad cop behavior. But if we put good cop behavior beside bad cop behavior,,, which would be the biggest/out do the other?

With that said why do we tolerate criminals and their behavior and them getting off so easy with the courts?

It isn't about good vs bad cops.
We need to address the problem of the bad ones.

Which convicts are getting off so easily in what way?
Would being harsher to convicts be a greater
deterrent to crime or reduce recidivism?

Yes. Lets overlook the good and only focus on the bad. That's best right. Does the bad out number the good?

Look at the daily news. People with pot possession are getting harsher sentences than child molesters, etc.

I think they should be banned from using dogs. It's cruel amd forces dogs to be put into potentially dangerous situations.

The "good" are bad as well with their silence and blind eyes.

Do you think the military should also be banned from using dogs too?
No more dogs too sniff out drugs or bombs?

Opinion noted. But I ask again..Does the bad out number the good?

If cops kill 15 but save 85 should we only focus on the 15 bad or focus on they did more good than bad but need improvement?

Yes. But police are (or should be) held to a higher standard.

By all means, give medals and praise to those who save lives.
Give enough budget and training for good police work to succeed. I’m all for doing our best to help the police force seek out the best outcomes possible.

But all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to remain silent, right?

If police officers remain silent as they see abuses occur, it doesn’t matter how many little old ladies they help cross the street. They’re just as dirty.

If we only focus on the bad won't that take away from the good?
