Many police officers fear being sued more than being murdered

    http://www.insightmag.com/Media/MediaManager/Officers.htm This is really sad and something that effects me a lot. I'm tired of this society that cannot take responsibility for it's own actions so it blames others. I know people have issues with the police and I know I don't live in the inner-cities but people need to respect the police and need to remember how incredably stressfull it is. God this is sad.

    Exactly. Their may be 1500 guys in a department and if 1-2 of them turn out to be 'dirty cops' they give the whole group a bad rep. If anything cops don't get enough credit.

Most police go out there and do a good job. And most people see videos of cops fighting people and assume they are being out of line and don't understand police procedures and whats legal. Ugh, stupid kids that are anti-police really tick me off.

A 92 year old women shot 3 police officers. The police officers were looking for drugs, and they had a warrant to get in. But they knocked on the door first, then announced that "it was the Atlanta Police, we have a warrant to search the house". The lady went and got a gun, and shot all 3 police officers, and one officer returned fire, killing the women. The thing that pissed me the F*ck off, and just stunned me was the lady, said: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"They kicked her door down talking about drugs, there's no drugs in that house. And they realize now, they've got the wrong house," Dozier said. "I'm mad as hell." Officials say they had the correct house and that the warrant they had was legal.She says the officers "shot her down like a dog."</div> As it turns out, there was another person in the house, and I heard that insane women say that live on TV. It still hasn't been reported weather there were drugs in the house, or not. That women should be shot for saying such words..The cops did absolutley nothing wrong, if it is the wrong house? So what?!! The lady shot 3 police officers, than her daughter expects nothing to happen.

    Yeah, let's completley forget the fact that this women had a loaded gun ON HER in the small time it took to knock the door down...that should tell you all you need to know.

    Neighbors are outraged for some strange reason. AND THEY did get the correct house, a guy was selling drugs in the house, the day before. This 87 year old lady just commented on the news "It's an outrage. She didn't ever bother no one. She ain't got no drugs in that house, never had. I don't got no trust in the police of Atlanta anymore. " Dumbasses..She fired the first shot, on 3 officers, and there WERE drugs in there. ah....pisses me off..

The two star players(both black) on my hs varsity football team were involved in a fight that happened after school in a nearby church parking lot. Two people had to go to the hospital and both players were pointed out by various witnesses as being involved so they were suspended. The parents of both students were interviewed about it for our towns newspaper and they said that they feel our cops were just racial profiling them for being black. It's ridiculous. I'm not saying all black people do this or anything but I hera things like this all the time and it's ridiculous. Nobody takes responsibility for anything these days.

It's sad to see a whole generation of kids growing up like this not to mention another generation of black people that will continue to cry racism.

    It's good you realized they were black without me even mentioning it. [​IMG] I wish these people would just accept it though, she was 92 f*cking years old, and she had drugs in her house, and she shot 3 officers. They can't just let themselves be shot at, they did the right thing, and I wish they shot that bi*ch that said "she was shot her down like a dog". What a disgrace..We just shouldnt patrol that part of Atlanta.. [​IMG] Then we'll see what happens..

    The cops just keep getting more and more freedom to do what they want. First there was the patriot act allowing sneak and peak warrants. Then the precedent a year ago that allowed them to waltz in after they had knocked. Then there was the precedent a few months ago that said warrantless police didn't have to knock.The cops are just one element of a corrupt government designed to protect the rich from the poor.

    ^^ I disagree and agree at the same time..I think the problem is..they put the great cops that do their job everyday where they aren't needed..and they put the cops that are corrupt etc. in areas that really could use the protection..I think the good cops outweigh the bad cops though..ive seen my share of both

I don't mind it at all...I don't think the changes are that big of a deal and many departments still go by the old rules anyway. If your not breaking the law you don't have anything to worry about. I wouldn't blame police because they are doing what people are allowing them under law to do.

    there is, or was, a black guy running for governor of texas or something like that, and there was a political commercial flinging mud at him. It was something about a hooker trying to seduce him (he defended sexual offenders or something along those lines), and some retard said it was racist, because the lady was blonde. are you kidding me? the idiot lady was talking about how black men had been attracted to blonde white women, and that it was a racial stereotype. SO ridiculous. It pisses me off how black people always use the racist card. and I just want to clarify, I'm not racist, and not all balck people are like this. I have black friends that aren't like this.
