Police Brutality Against Motorcyclist

[Hydra009]

Because while the criminals are a minority, the majority are enablers, and the enablers will remove you for being a "shit-disturber."

That seems like an undesirable situation that probably ought to change.

It is easy….make being a police officer less dangerous. Demand that criminals surrender immediately.

It is a target rich environment.  In my understanding, almost all adults are criminals ... and I am one also, as I have mentioned before.  Shoe was responsible for my satori ;-)

I am familiar with the content of "Three Felonies a Day", but that doesn't excuse the police who cover up for real and legitimate sleazebags in their ranks.

When I say a good cop goes after a bad cop, I'm not talking about those who break some obscure innocuous law, and you know that.  "Gee you bought a guitar that was made from imported wood that we don't have an import treaty with, you are a criminal."  No.  I'm referring to real crimes as you well know, such as assault, murder, theft, rape, etc.

I'm not following you.  Ethics on the job is a bust unless the job is safe?  (Can the job ever truly be safe?)

To be fair, even bakers have people shooting at them on a daily basis if the donuts are too crispy eh? We in construction are familiar with dangers but we don't normally have people shooting at us….so…you know….ethics is easy when no one is trying to kill you.

I don't think you need armchair ethics to tell you that kicking an unarmed man off a motorcycle is uncalled for, especially if he's not making a concerted effort to get away.

Plus, as Shiranu pointed out, this sort of behavior wouldn't be acceptable for a cashier, no matter the situation.  How then, is in acceptable for a cop?

It is, however, incredibly difficult to think that people who would kick unarmed people off motorcycles should be arrested.

If  that's the actual situation I would agree.

If the police could be reminded that they're part of the executive branch, the judicial branch might be allowed to make the 1st cut, as allowed in our holy constitution.

Sith-uation normal, all Jar-Jar up ;-)
