[QUOTE="Duncandl, post: 3956564, member: 4389"] Why did it take a person dying? In all of the cases that bring to light police brutality, what is getting the police to the point where they believe that level of a response was necessary? I have never been a police officer but I do have respect for them doing a job I know that I could never perform. The police officers and patrolman that we do know and interact with are all amazing people and I do not believe that they could/would act like the police officers in the videos we are forced to stomach, for example the officer spraying the pepper spray took out at least 3 of their fellow officers in this latest video, no control or restraint was shown on his part, it was pure chaos and possibly escalated the already tense situation. If it takes death to get people to listen imagine all of the near death situations we have never heard about? Bottom line is not everyone wearing a badge is worthy of our trust to protect and serve and that is a painful sentiment to share for me. [/QUOTE]
