I'd like to read more about what happened. The article gives a little insight, but not much. Sounds like a tragic accident, but I'd like to see the whole story. Happen to have any more links about it?
Oh look, another thread about the same thing we're discussing in a billion other threads. Glad to see the board flooded with these types of posts. It's awesome.
thank you weso1!

I'm sure I could flood the board with individual storiees of people killed by lightning. Not very common way to go. That would be annoying too. Number of folks killed by cops per year makes up about .0000001% of the population. Not sure what your definition of coomon is.

thank you weso1!
Well you edited since but to compare the two is dumb and cops kill way more than lightening
Btw: lightening has killed 26 people in the USA in 2014 this far

Again...give me a percentage of Copa you believe are corrupt.
too many
and the ones that aren't just straight out corrupt
seem to be complacent and are almost just as guilty in my eyes
instead of doing the right thing, they protect the blue shield

I wish we could have cyborg officers that always follow a moral code. Sadly, when your population consists of humans you are going to have bad seeds. Hopefully as we progress as a species the numbers continue to dwindle. The outcry though that this numer is so large is just hyperbole. Its no different than in any other profession and I'm not sure how to prevent it considering the talent pool are humans.

You're right, there's corruption in every field. Corporations and/or those that run them screw people daily.
However, I still feel it's too easy to become a cop. My buddy just became a cop in LA and it was rigorous, but other acquaintances have become local cops and they're morons. Like, couldn't handle ONE college class, so became a cop.

Its probably easy to become a cop because not that many people want to do it because of the implicit danger that comes with the job. The only way I can see ensuring that the supply includes more competant individuals would be to greatly increase the pay but we all know that isn't going to happen. I believe a starting NYPD officer makes somewhere around 40-45K and they start out in the worst of areas. Maybe some of you don't know but 45k is peanuts in NY. So you can see, the best and brightest are not jumping at the chance to become a cop and work in east new york.

Higher crime rates are apparently a good thing.
Yeah, I remember the 70's and early 80s the **** my brother got away with just a slap on the wrist. Robberies.....shootings......drugs.... it didn't matter. He would maybe spend 3-5 years in prison and be right out being a public nuisance again.
This is the America Goldie wants...
I honestly don't think you should speak for me since don't have a damn clue of the America I want

you apparently want an America that locks up more citizens than anyone else.
