[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The great majority of police officers have never drawn their weapon, except for target practice. We are all dependent on officers to help us when we are frightened or victimized. It's an honorable profession and should be treated as such. By the way, today is National Peace Officers Day, which is why the flags are at half mast.

Speak for yourself. There are millions of Americans who would never dream of calling the police no matter what happens, as in their experience the police only make things worse.

It could be an honorable profession, but the bad apples and unions have ruined that. Respect isn't automatic. [/quote]

Bad apples are everywhere.  Cops don't have a monopoly on this.  Most people couldn't pass the background check.

Cops have a monopoly on bad apples with guns who are allowed to empty them into humans whenever they're afraid.

Most people, eh? Surely you know what had been already documented about the cop that killed Tamir Rice. [/quote]

There's a story in Plato's Republic about the ring of gyges.  The ring makes its wearers invisible.  Plato is asking, what would happen if people become invisible.  Would they follow the law, would they do the right thing if they can't be seen and caught.  Modern day cops with a badge and a gun might seem like a variation of the ring of gyges that make them feel as if they are invincible.  The truth is cops live under a microscope.  The Tamir Rice incident was caught on the video for the whole world to see.  All I got to say is I will never allow my child to play with a replica gun, even if legally tipped bright orange - and and I will never allow her to point a replica gun at any person.  [/quote]
