Quite unfair to leave out the qualifier "SOME".. Some DON'T, most DO->

This is not a problem with a solution. There will always be bad cops and their will always be criminals. Just like you'll never stop murder, violent crime, traffic deaths etc., you'll never completely get rid of all bad cops.. It is human nature. All we will EVER be able to (hopefully) do is minimize the bad.

To paint ALL cops as bad, is as wrong as painting all demonstrators as criminals..It just makes it easier for the lazy media to pander to the lazy populace!

Agree but professional agitators need to STFU wrt police- the job is hard -- hokiewasp 06/07/2020 12:38AM
