Another innocent teen gunned down.

In America, it's never been safer to be a police officer. 2013 the total number of on duty police deaths was around 100. So far this year that number is up slightly to 114. A 10.4% rise. Which 53% were do to gunfire. 46.

For example to show the progress we have made. In 2001 241 police were killed in the line of duty.

Which still pals in comparison to the 1970's were 2,312 police officers were killed in the line of duty. 231.2 cops a year as the average.

Now, the numbers of police action claims for Nee York City for 2011.

4,561 claims were made against the NYPD in 2011. Which they had pay 59.6 million in settlements. For things such as excessive force. Rapes, murders, robberies assaults.

If we look at the 2010 crime rates we see this.

All violent crimes per capita.

429.4 out of 100k for the general public.
409.3 out of 100k for law enforcement.

Assaults

262.8 out of 100k for the general public
264.7 out of 100k for law enforcement.

For more information on the abuses of law enforcement here in the US and Canada as well you can check out Cop Watch. They record and monitor police abuse against the public.
 
Perhaps people should learn walking up to cops with guns pointed at them is not a good idea. I don't care if your white, black, brown, purple it does not matter. If your pointing a gun at a cop your gonna be in trouble.

No doubt.

Police also need to learn they can't commit crimes themselves.

With all the data available it is not debatable of law enforcements transgression against the population of our country.

Which is they will be made to wear cameras. So we can watch them do their jobs like they are little grade school kids.
 
The Washington Post had article in early October. U.S. Cities pay out millions to settle police lawsuits.

Chicago paid out 84.6 million last year alone.

Half a billion dollars in the last decade because of police abusing their power.

And people like Front think we are joking. They think this is a game and wasting tax payer money isn't a problem.

They think the police are above the law.
 
Wow…the comments on this thread are just mind blowing lol…apparently if you commit any crime you can a may get a death sentence which seems to be perfectly ok as long as youre not white…on the other hand people saying you shouldnt be killed for pointing a gun at a cop…if it wasnt for the internet people would swear racism doesnt exist…"thug" apparently is the new "n" word as well lol
 
Nope I don't believe all police are innocent and none should be above the law. But what I do believe is they should have a little more leniency to handle one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet dealing with a society that is sadly holding the value of life less and less every year.

Another thing that keeps getting overlooked is the fact that the good FAR outnumbers the bad. Maybe not 1/2 of 1% as it may have been in the past, but still well lower than you seem to believe given how you speak towards the force as a whole.

How do you propose to "reform" police? Power corrupts, it's a fact. There will never be a fully pure system because of that. All we can do is strive for a percentage of good vs bad that is acceptable, otherwise we will have complete anarchy if we cannot.

As far as the amount of money being paid in settlements, that is a gross misrepresentation of fact and really doesn't surprise me at the numbers. Our society is sue happy and our system allows almost anyone for any reason to be paid off. I won't believe the majority of that money paid was for justifiable cause.

We can argue all day. You have your opinion and I will respect that. I have mine and I stand by it. After all, it is a freedom in this country
 
It's all funny me. All the morons protesting are getting arrested for being morons, and the crappy cops are getting fired. Unfortunately not all of them.

In the end what is going to happen, is what was going to happen anyway.

It was fun watching the KKK argue with anonymous. Seeing Black Panthers get arrested buying bomb making materials on EBT cards.

Watching up tight police get all defensive.

They even try to tie the black guerrilla family to the NYPD murders. Man oh man I almost got wood on tat.

It was fun seeing thread like this. I guess the only purpose is to say if you point a gun at another man with a gun you get shot. Duh. Quick draw.

Watching black and white people argue about race was amusing on TV.

What else...calls for sharia law. That was laughably amusing. How can anyone actually follow this stuff? Right. That's gonna happen.

Seeing some girl tap a bat on the window of a liquor store window. Some real thugs got in there. Looked like some pansy house kids.

That's why I only watch espn and the golf channel for personal entertainment. Like a old grumpy guy.

All morons.

Unarmed french officers shot dead by a group of terrorist! so again where is the training from euro cops that is supposedly better than American cops?
 
Let's play he died in the line of duty carrying out his role as protection for one of the staff after threats.
A side arm Vs automatic weapons isn't gonna go well for the side arm.

As for training don't know comparative evidence on methods between USA and euro.
But I do know a American detective shot himself in the torso while riding in an elevator with his wife... That's some mad gun safety training right there ....

The fact that you can ask this question shows you are entirely too ignorant to have an opinion worth any merit.
