[QUOTE="Gadsden, post: 3834931, member: 49555"] You know, it seems you want to believe that the left is correct and civil rights violations are an everyday occurrence. It also appears that you concur with adhdferret and fall for his deception when he states "You know, the majority of cops are damn good, fair and honest people." The proof that he doesn't really believe that comes when he follows that remark up with "Thing i think even you and I can agree on is how they protect those that are not." It matters not to me what he thinks or says, it's a complete contradiction of his previous statement and more proof of what his real intentions here are. The fact is, and anyone would have to be a fool to believe otherwise, cops who are "good, fair and honest people" would never protect those who are not. When it comes to civil rights violations the number of occurrences are blown way out of proportion by liberals, far-left politicians and the media who hates cops. I am not denying they have happened however, civil rights violations are very few and far between and it's been that way for a long, long time. The advent of the body cams and people with cell phones who record every move a cop makes are just more proof of that. As we see, time and time again where an accusation has been made, once the full, unedited, cell phone video is released along with any body cam video the vast majority of allegations against law enforcement are proved unfounded and even more than that, outright lies. Add to that spineless administrators who will throw their officers under the bus, even before any investigation has been completed or in some cases even started, and any cop who wants to keep his (or her) job and possibly their freedom, would be a complete fool to abuse their authority. However, any cop who intentionally violates someones rights should be treated just like anyone else who breaks the law. Meaning there should be a complete investigation done and if the charges are substantiated, anyone involved should be arrested and tried in a court of law. Make no mistake, I have no compassion for any cop who dishonors the badge. They do nothing but give all cops a bad name. That said, I don't profess to have all the answers. I do believe though, that just like anything else, there will always be a few bad actors in every profession and I don't see any way of riding ourselves of them in a free society. After-all, like Franklin so eloquently stated, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” [/QUOTE]
