Warning, this shows the crash. If you are squeamish, don't watch.

A lot of what is going on with community policing now is down to issues way outside their control- provisioning issues like having cameras and tasers at hand, training, mental health support for people they encounter, and repeat youth offenders who are not being diverted or supported by politicians or community members before they come the police attention. I pity police. Really do.

As someone who has known and worked with police, it's not all but there's a huge culture of violent people who are looking for a fight and who don't mind if someone dies. Watch the video of the car from Philly, a random collection of officers and they all jump on to start beating people. It's a violent job that attracts violent people.

In DC? Nope. Our police can be incomoetent, but there is not a huge culture of violent people on the force. You must not be from round here.

Why does that sound like a nice world to live in to you? Sounds kind of shitty to me, so instead I'll vote for leaders who will work against that. No one should die just because they are running from the police. Have fun in your fascist hellhole, Greg.

No one should run from the police! Mess up? Deal with the consequences like an adult. We live in a society of rules and laws. This isn’t Thunderdome

Yes, which the police need to follow. But they didn't.

Which EVERYONE needs to follow! Make a mistake? Deal with the consequences. Don’t run from the law like a coward

This was in DC and Montgomery County, and I stand by what I said. You can have whatever illusions you want about the police. I know them, which is why I've never called them. I'm not saying I wouldn't ever, but it would only be if I was comfortable with violence resulting.

The people I know who joined law enforcement were the bullies and/or failed football players in high school. They love the authority a badge gives them but not the responsibility.

Everyone, including the police. Make a mistake? Deal with the consequences - for example, get suspended or fired.
