Man they’ve made cops look real bad in that video , 

maybe they should watch some footage of 

9/11/01 when those cops were running in to the burning towers and lost their lives to save people !!!

How quickly some forget !!! 

I think what the protest is about is when police officers do their job poorly they're treated like anyone else. That said, I will always support police, they should be respected.

or we could look at what happened 19 years ago, and ask why many Americans don't think those cops would run into a burning building for them . . .

Broad strokes...

 

You're doing the same thing you condemn them for. Just opposite.

 

I relate to your optimism though.

Yep. Pro-cop, anti-thug, God bless America. :thumbsup:

I wouldn’t run in to a burning building for you either if I was a cop

Very well done video of what used to be referred to as "common sense" American attitudes...

 

 

 

(And this should be a very useful thread)

It's good for people to remember what you say.  This stuff isn't revolutionary.

I’m just saying not all cops are bad and that there’s cops risking their lives every day to save/help people ,

Certainly, it’s not all police that are the problem. But some seek these positions of authority for the wrong reasons. Look at what the three officers involved in Elijah McClain’s death did at his memorial site.

I don't think there's anyone here that would disagree with you.  To support Black Lives Matter and social/racial justice doesn't automatically translate into being anti-police.

sorry, im not into this anti-cop stuff.  my friend, a cop, chased an armed robber.  he chose not to shoot him.  the robber shot him above his vest and it hit his clavicle and ricocheted into his heart and he died.  he had a quick decision to make and it cost him his life.  he is never coming back, his daughter is growing up without a father.  bad cops should be taken off the force but the majority arent bad at all.  they have a tough job and have to make decisions quickly.

It’s the decision making that is the crux of the problem. Something needs to change to better prepare police for assessing situations. You mentioned an armed suspect, how many of these cases getting publicity were unarmed black men? The training for law enforcement is lacking severely.

I knew someone who was a racist, but he saw "black lives matter," on a helmet, and that totally changed his mind.  

 

Also, I knew an inner city kid in poverty, and that "black lives matter" sticker instantly helped him.  

 

It also stopped domestic abusers from running from the police and reaching for knives in their car.
