I have a nephew that's working on his second degree and wants to be a cop next year when he graduates. I worry about him for these same reasons and really wonder what's causing it to come off the rails. I worry because he a great kid, has his head screwed on right and I fear that it'll get cross threaded down the road. Is it a perfect storm of Obama/Sharpton antics and too many military folks getting out and joining the force and some other factors? I dunno but I agree COMPLETELY with you that it seems to be a recent transformation.
Does anyone think that all of the talk of these police shootings in the media creates a somewhat artificial distrust that in turn makes people respond more aggressively than they normally would to police? People are manipulated by the media more often than not in my opinion. I do think this was a bad shooting but I'm talking about in general.
Or, it could also be that this has actually been an issue for a long time and that cell phone videos and other types of coverage are now drawing more attention to the issue.
While i don't wholly disagree with you, i think the media is an easy scapegoat for the true issues of system disfunction that has existed for a while.
LEOs are not the disease, but a system of a system that is in need of reform
(and that certainly isn't to say that the media isn't taking a story and running with it. I'm just not sure that the causation starts with the media in this instance)
