The problem Blanca is its common in the US that police are using their powers in the wrong way. Its becoming more of an epidemic,to be honest. Not as bad as in Mexico,but even if you do a search back to 1900's,you will find LEO's had a knack for being dishonest,or being on the take.Hell,they hold a lot of power,that you will agree with. There is also the "code of silence","gang in blue" "coverup "mentality.. Seriously,you care to disprove it? I can give you years worth of examples. I wont call an officer,unless its the last resort,and I have friends on the force.

Doesn't matter, he wasn't in any further danger.
I'm so tired of people taking up for cops who murder people because of some b.s. procedure that no one but cops know about that allows other people to justify their murdering of civilians.
Cops nowadays are poorly trained and over indoctrinated. They are mostly under educated and have a lower iq.
If you really want to risk your life, show a cop you are smarter than them in any situation.

Are you serious?
I dont pull my gun and fire wildly at a car! I would call it in, I would get in my car and pursue and then charge them with assaulting an officer, assault with a deadly weapon. I wouldn't have fired off at the car.
First if there is a passenger, they didnt make any decision to drive. What if there had been a kid in the back seat? What if he had missed? What if he murdered a woman because she was scared and accidentally drove over his foot? Oh wait, he did do that last one.
I can tell you, with a hundred percent fact, the gun is the last thing I'd do.
Most people, even that carry them all the time are very reluctant to pull them unless the absolutely have to. Cops on the other hand will shoot you down in a heartbeat.edit on 17-9-2011 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

Seriously? I can flood this thread for hours with instance of how cops have stopped serving people as they are supposed to and are using tasers and guns way more than ever before and when it is totally unnecessary.

I never said she didn't do anything wrong.
I just don't think she had to die for it, that's what cops can't seem to remember. There are other options.
He was in no danger, he shot her because she accidentally ran over his foot.

I disagree. At least from what I have read, she ran over his foot driving away, he was in no further danger.
You're a cop (at least have said to be before I believe) so of course you will defend them til the end (you have defended cases where cops were much more clearly in the wrong) and I think that is a big part of what is wrong with cops too.
