You're right, I have never lived in a predominantly black community, and maybe that would change my out look a little, but I still don't think I could call all police bad. I was taking it that it was happening to you on a daily basis by the way you explained it. It came off that it happened all...

I would say start recording it. Sounds like you get this on a daily basis. I would be surprised if it happens as much as you say, but if it does, get you a dash cam. Can solve a lot of problems. From the way you say it, you have been across and/or dealt with every situation and you get stopped...

Bad thing about that is you are working an officer around the clock to make a reasonable salary. With all these extra hours, they begin to get fatigued and burned out. This can cause some to make bad decisions when a quick decision is needed. Overtime should not be part of the talk when bringing...

I’m not sure I would say being a teacher is significantly harder than being a LEO. One you are teaching the next generations of our country, and the other you are protecting the next generations. I think your experiences with law enforcement has effectively made you loose all respect for what...

So you’re saying it takes little to no skill to be a police officer and that just because a cop is not in an urban environment they are not putting their lives in harms way? Also, since they have to work overtime to get a reasonable salary, which also adds fatigue, their base salary of 34k is...

NJ must be paying their officers quite well, since according to you, they are paying nearly twice the country’s average police officers salary. Most police officers salary, from what I can find, are between 34k-68k for most. Here in my town, which is about 100k population, our officers get paid...

And they are not getting paid very well to be put in that situation. Maybe they need to reform the amount of compensation the good ones get for dealing with the country’s problems day in and day out.

How does the officer know he is just a drunk? All he knows is this guy is not cooperating with his simple orders of staying at his vehicle. He has know idea what his plans for entering the store was. I’m guessing if you talk to any officer, they would disagree with you about letting him just be...

You can’t just let a non compliant person just walk into the store and you follow him. That really makes no sense. What’s his plan for entering the store? Does he have a weapon? Is he looking to escalate the situation with hostages? The unknown factor should be enough to want him to stay put. He...

Wasn't it violent already, since he was sitting on the ground after wrestling with the LEO?

How does the officer know there is no obvious danger when entering the store? Or how do you know? He doesn't know who he is at the time, and also doesn't know what he will do or is capable of doing. He goes into the store and to me that can easily escalate the situation. One, he is now out of...
