[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For every egregious police act, can we also post every single good police act that occurred at that very same moment in time across our fifty states? Just for proportionality? I'm guessing if this is criminal--it's on video, will be investigated, and justice will be done. Will all the good police who were doing good work at the same time get commendations? Doubtful.[/quote][b]And what do you think was happening before we had cell phone videos and body cameras?  Do you think these things were being investigated and wrongs being righted?  In too many cases, I think police reports were adjusted to suit the officers involved.  So karma is catching up with some officers - do you think it shouldn't?

In the meantime, we've all been appreciating the good acts the police do for as long as I can remember.  It's only recently that we've learned that not every cop can be assumed to be a "good guy with a gun."  Sooooo, it seems to me that we are only catching up with the reality as it has existed lo this many years but we just didn't know it.[/quote]

Yes, I think some of it was caught. Definitely pre video phone.

PS. NO, I don't think karma should catch up with innocent officers; and karma has a way of catching up with guilty ones no matter what.  However, they should be tried based on current crimes with the review of the facts as best established by prosecutors.
