Exactly, and I am not suggesting that someone fight it out with them,
just watch an episode of "Cops" and you will see the result of that.
The increased cameras, both on the cruisers and everywhere else, should
at least help continue to bring more attention to travesties of justice
against citizens such as was shown in the video.
I am not even anti-police, just very much against unnecessarily abusive
police like the officer that was shown.
A high-level Austin police commander gives me his house keys and has me
take care of his pets when he travels, and I have gotten along well with
several cops that worked moonlight as security where I was employed.
The officer shown in the video is an example of what needs to be removed
from the force. I think that the term is "bad apple".
