You aren't saying anything incorrect.

Not at all...but I would suggest there needs to be more, in particular to what I mentioned in the post about being held accountable for misconduct or fvck ups as well as protocol in nonviolent situations. I am aware its very difficult in these high risk situations to assess, but that is what...

Nothing you said is wrong...but...that is what police officers get paid to do. If you can't do the job, don't do the job. Someone else in this thread said that police just need to be judged like other professionals when they make mistakes or if there is some misconduct. There have been around...

Police training in nonviolent situations - in this particular situation the OP presents...the officer lost the high ground the minute he pulled the trigger on that taser on a man who was sitting down showing his hands. It turned a nonviolent situation into a violent one that was dangerous for...

Sounds great in a world where something like this doesn't exist. I hate to use Vox, but whatever. https://www.vox.com/identities/2016/8/13/17938186/police-shootings-killings-racism-racial-disparities

This thread has already been exhausted with Blue Lives Matter v. Black Lives Matter. That is a discussion we can have another day and not in this thread. As long as you can acknowledge there are systemic issues within the interaction between police and the general population, in particular...

Police officer in the video never says anything about the man being drunk. Told him he was pulled over for doing 60mph and for peeling out. You 're using information after the fact to justify your takes, but through that interaction, McDowell being drunk isn't presented...so why its a part of...

I don't know what your race is...and its not important. But, statistics show that (depending on the study...I don't want to get in the deep end of minutiae of this discussion) that at least one out of every three African Americans have no trust in police officers at all. Without checking for a...

The same way they issue a citation for running a red light with a camera at the traffic stop...by the plate information. Not the owner of the car?...just like in the aforementioned scenario...the owner of the automobile is responsible for the driver...he can pay it himself or submit the drivers...

That was just a ****ty situation for all involved. Both sides showed restraint until the situation was escalated and ultimately, it doesn't look good for either party. It was a simple roadside stop. Those should never get to the point it just did and its a breakdown by all involved, including...
