like enforcing that law but he has to as it is his job. He stated this ain't America no more not to agree with the direction but to sympathize with
the camera holder. At least if I were a cop this is how I would tell people that I'm frustrated as hell with having to confront law abiding citizens
expressing their own free speech.
your idea is well said, i actually can see your point on that, and if that is the case i wish the man was a bit more informative with his words, he
could have said just a few more things and then i would be more in support of the officer, i think as with all people in power, they should be more
careful when choosing their words, he could have simply been a little more careful in choosing his words, then i would support him, but use his
statements hopefully against his employers as it is their decision to make him do the job that way
we have a very heated climate today, it seems a few wrongly chosen words could actually send this country into a very serious situation, also with the
way things are, people want to figure out why they are the way they are, so when things like this happen, people want to know, is this officer being
biasedor abusive of his powers, or is he just doing the job hes told to do and we have much bigger problems
"if you have a cop on duty admit this isnt america anymore i dont like my job but im doing what they are making me do" or in anything similar, then
we could stop focusing on cops and start working to remove the real problem that is higher up
