re: #358 Blind Frog Belly White

My cop friend on FB (see above from last night) just responded with ‘we can have this conversation when you’ve been a cop for 8 years’.

Wrong answer.

A grain of truth to to what he says: we subject our cops to a great deal of unnecessary stress, expecting them to maintain order when people have easy access to deadly weapons, when a large number of mentally unstable persons are not properly treated or institutionalized and in a society which there are great economic and racial tensions.

It goes a way to explaining a lot of their behavior, but does not justify abuse.
