OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An Oklahoma jury Tuesday convicted a veteran police captain of first-degree manslaughter in the death of an unarmed teenager
who was running away after scuffling with the officer."
Yes, this is great news. I hope cops across see this and think "Holy crap, I gotta start actually doing my job instead of acting like Hitler!" ~ I'm
just saying, you know, that it seems that most cops seem to have this "I'm better than you, and I am above the law" attitude.
The videos are out there, and they show just how ignorant some cops can sometimes be.
In the old days of ATS, I remember that when you post news, you had to write a certain amount of words that describe your thoughts and feelings
regarding the news event, and I find that to be an excellent concept. My thought regarding this story are simple. Despite the fact that these
officers are human, I believe the citizens need to be aware of the afflictions that police officers must endure.
Then Again. . . .
Quite simply, if it should make sense that if soldiers endure the horrible effects of PTSD, then why should I not consider that any given officer
might be subject to the same fate as a result of the many horrible things that they have endured. Since it is a job, his or her tour of duty might
last for 20 to 30 years. So, given that concept, perhaps I may be jumping to conclusions by calling them idiot for losing control. . .that, for all I
know, they may no longer have.

Strake because: I dont know, I guess I just felt like editing something. You know how it is, sometimes you just look up and no mater how well your
typing abilities might be, sometimes you just spell something wrong, or use way too many commas or something. . . or perhpas you might be typing a
sentence that just runs on and on and on. . .OOPS!
