Cops are in a bind?
Being a cop presumes likelihood of death?
What rock do you live under. How many police die each year in the line of duty, for any reason other than their own negligence?
Police have become so militarized because of our soldiers return from duty looking for a gig that meets their skill set, and that leaves LEO and private security
We are going to continue to see an escalation in police brutality, what with marijuana legalization swing the nation. Harassing the citizenry for utilizing medicinal plant matter was their top priority fit decades. Take that away and what "work" are they left with?
Police will continue to instigate more shit so that they can remain employed. If marijuana were rescheduled correctly and decriminalize, the demands for police would wither away and die
My job involves driving commercial vehicle on Pennsylvania and New Jersey sorry dass roads over 30k miles per year, which is infinitely more dangerous than being armed to the hilt, roving around in gangs armed with infinite protections and resources
But you won't see me instigating and harassing common folk, and murdering blacks out of fear. Because I'm not the kind of punk bitch to willingly sign up for a job and then claim fear for my life when I act negligent
There were 100 law enforcement officers killed in 2013.
Firearms-related incidents only accounted for 33 deaths in 2013 the lowest since 1887.
Law enforcement isn't even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs despite all their simpering about "officer safety".
confronting armed people who are on the freakin edge all the time due to engagement with the worlds worst kind on a daily basis...
Violent crime is at 40 year lows.
Robert sproul, please don't bother these big government loving, public union supporting, simple Simon motherfuckers with facts!
They love their big government and don't want their undying support challenged with facts

Errc, you seem to have a real hate on for cops. Maybe your experiences with LEO have been mostly negative? I guess mine go both ways. I've gotten my share of traffic tickets, but also been let off a few times. I once got stopped for no reason, held for hours in a cop car, and my rental was searched because a police dog "hit" on it. I was shitting bricks because it's a rental, how the fuck do I know what was in it for sure? But nothing was found, though they did go through all my luggage and turn the car inside out. That was the worst experience, and it could have been avoided if marijuana was legal, because that's what they were looking for.
I also know several cops. They are family men who want to go home to their kids every night, have their own dreams, and are decent people.
I don't like this new trend where the media stokes a new race war over every cop on black incident. I think it's causing racial tensions. The Tuesday after the ferguson riots, I actually got hassled at work by a black guy who I was trying to help. He seemed convinced that because im white, I was in on keeping the black man down or some stupid shit. It took some talking and relating before he settled down and started treating me like a person again.
I've never been hassled like that before by a black man, and I really do blame all the racial action of the night before.
No matter what your feeling about cops in general, or the situation, stirring up inter racial hate is NOT good. So I'm not supporting anything that even resembles that.
I don't have a hate on for cops. I'm disgusted at the attitude of my fellow citizenry towards this rapid and blatant descent to fascism. We Americans are supposed to distrust the government.
Maybe many of you aren't Americans.
I do find it disturbing that your opinion of a good run in with the police, is you breaking the law, getting caught x and then them deciding to let you go, unpunished.
No matter what your feeling about cops in general, or the situation, stirring up inter racial hate is NOT good.
THe only thing that stirred up racial hate is not indicting cops for killing unarmed men is situations that defied common sense. Incompetence in cops is unnacceptable, and yes, unfortunatley when the victim is black, some people assume too quickly that race was a factor.

Perhaps your job is more dangerous?
Police work is NOT getting more dangerous.
Most cops who die "on the job" are not in shootouts. Vehicle and basic workplace hazard related is greater.

No, we should not do that. That's why we should not look at police violence just from a racial angle.

Al Sharpton was in Sears.
He was there to protest the fact that most all of the washing machines were white.
So the clerk called the store manager, who asked, “What’s the problem here, Reverend?
Sharpton pointed at the machines and loudly bemoaned the fact that most of them were white.
The manager replied, “Well, Reverend, it's true that most of the washing machines are white, but if you'll open the lids, you'll see that all the agitators are black."
Leave it to Sears, another satisfied customer.

I am sure the cops were fearing for their lives from this toddler.
Police may be deciding to make their line of work more dangerous, by militarizing and harassing and assaulting the people who employ them for protection
What the hell else did anyone think would happen? We're American's. We're supposed to fight for freedom, not lay down on our backs and get run over by those who live to steal our freedom

Of course not, but these two situations (Brown and Garner) involved perps who chose to escalate the situation. The police also escalate in response.
I've never been beaten or shot by cops, but then again, I've never been stupid enough to get physical with a cop. Let's just give these two sad dead men the Darwin Award and be done with it.
How did garner and brown choose to escalate the situation?
I'm assuming you're still forming your opinions on lies and not taking the facts into account
Did you watch the same video recording of garners murder that I did?
Garner did nothing wrong, nor did he escalate the situation. Brown was murdered from a distance, after being assaulted by officer wilson. The lone eyewitness that actually saw what happened, insisted wilson was the aggressor
Case closed? Lol
It must be nice, to be so simple
A total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year. There were 100 law enforcement officers killed in 2013.
Now, someone has compiled a list of police killings just based on news reports. It is 1018 just in 2014 only. And, police killed 748 people in 2013 between May and December.
And now I'm wondering if you're just trolling me. Your the guy that said case closed before ever having s chance to parse through all the details.
My eyes are wide open and I've read more then I care to read of the events and the reactions surrounding them
The police also escalate in response.
I disagree with this. The police often escalate on arrival. They have been trained to insist on immediate compliance to their barked commands. Often anyone not able to comply or not in the mood to be verbally abused will find themselves on the ground tased/sprayed/shot…..and then charged with "resisting" or "assault".
You can be charged with Assaulting an Officer for reflexively pulling away when a cop grabs your arm.
You can be charged with assault for injuring a cops hand with your face as Mr Leon was:

You can be charged with "destruction of property" for bleeding on their uniforms after they beat your ass.

Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen every day of the week.

THe only thing that stirred up racial hate is not indicting cops for killing unarmed men
No, it was the all too typical, the media got the story wrong and broadcast it all over the globe. Trayon was a punk, Michael Brown was a punk. Eric Gardner refused to cooperate with the police and his bad eating/health habits did him in more than the cops did.

There is a wisedom to live well and those people just do not get it.
The world is not about good vs evil.
The ignorance of people , particularly the freedom hating Americans that support the police state, is mind boggling.
But what can you expect from people that would blame a man's poor health as his cause of death, coincidentally happening at the exact instance a dumb ass LEO is choking the life out of him
It's wager 100$ these idiots couldn't even tell you what healthy diet and lifestyle looks like
"Everything in moderation" lmao
Including your police brutality
Vicents said: Vehicle and basic workplace hazard related is greater.
To emphasize this point further:
During the past three decades, 42% of police killed in auto accidents were not wearing seat belts, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration review. Law enforcement estimates of seat belt compliance hover around 50%, well below the 86% rate of compliance among the general public.
Where in the constitution does it state that a citizen must obey anything and everything a police officer commands, like a slave to his master

Now that's justice
You break the law, You die at the hands of a dumb ass cop
A total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year. There were 100 law enforcement officers killed in 2013.
On average, over the last decade, there have been 58,261 assaults against law enforcement each year, resulting in 15,658 injuries.
Cops are in a bind?
Being a cop presumes likelihood of death?
Yep, but evidently not enough to matter to you. Perhaps your job is more dangerous? The food pyramid does have some nasty sharp edges, I'll give ya that.
Looks like when you put some context to your data, it looks like a sad argument. Half of those deaths were either self negligence out stupidity because they are too dumb to figure how to buckle their seatbelts. Wow
A total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year.
There are over 460,000 local cops in the country (not including state, federal, military etc).
So if you're a cop, according to your numbers in a given year you have a bout a one in 3000 chance of being killed in a given year. With much of that risk being tied to how much time they spend in cars. Some of those cops drive a little too crazy when they are rushing to the scene of a crime.
Yes, that is very simple. Really I get it, that it's not an issue for me as long as I don't break the law or resist arrest. And I won't do the former. If I do, I won't do the latter.
But that has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's okay for a cop to kill someone who breaks the law or resists arrest.
Are you always so glib and stupid ? Or is that just a character you play on Patrick.net ?

Interesting, and if true the NYPD has some serious explaining and reforming to do. Doesn't change the fact that they didn't kill Garner. He died of a heart attack. Charge them with the crimes they actually committed against the man!
Right. He mysteriously died of a heart attach at the exact moment that they were choking him to death
And zero chance they have any explaining to do. this is one of the perks of the job. And with people like you that blindly believe their lies, It will continue. Probably get more frequent as more of their crimes get exposed and they see that they're never held accountable

And the Deep South supposedly has an incorrigible intolerance toward trans-racial community .
From: http://uptownmagazine.com/2014/12/sc-cop-richard-combs-shot-unarmed-black-man-bernard-bailey-charged-murder/
We’d thought this day would never come. A white South Carolina cop was charged with murder for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man in 2011. The Orangeburg County grand jury decision to indict Richard Combs on Wednesday was the same day a Staten Island grand jury declined to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for choking unarmed Eric Garner to death in July 2014.
Combs, former chief and sole officer in the small town of Eutawville, shot Bernard Bailey, 54, twice in the chest after a scuffle occurred when Bailey visited the Town Hall to argue about his daughter’s broken tail light ticket. According to prosecutors, Combs, 38, attempted to arrest Bailey on obstruction of justice charges. Bailey walked back to his car, where Combs followed. The pair quickly fought before Combs drew his gun, shooting Bailey, a 6-foot-6 former prison guard, twice in his pickup truck.
