Re: Obama Wants To Help Buy 50,000 Body Cameras For The Nation's 630,000 Police Offic
Except the civilians are under no obligation to be either civil or to tell the truth. In fact, you can pretty much count on folks to lie when stopped. That wears on you after a while.
That and they end of the bullyboy mindset.
Too many times I've seen situations escalate because the cop was simply being a dick. Talking to people who are being cooperative like the cop caught em dandling a five year old.
This attitude is taught. Dominance takes priority. Not just controlling the situation but what can only be described as bullying.
Im not thrilled with the end of officer discretion. But I'm less thrilled with commonplace misbehavior. Make EVERYBODY be civil, not just the civilian.
