If anyone on YouTube is supporting the cops on this one, they shouldn't.
My problem with Dave's statement is probably 99% of cops are good people, doing a dangerous job for us. I think I can pretty much guarantee the percentage of good cops is higher than the percentage of good people.
Dave points to these isolated incidents where cops really are committing terrible crimes and says, "Cops are killing us daily" when the truth of the matter is 90% of the time cops are protecting us daily, and some of the rest of the time they're either making bad decisions in what could be life of death situations, or in this case it looks like killing a person without any reasonable cause.
Hey Rollo, I understand you that you didn't watch the video yet until after you made the original comment that you deleted after watching the video. No biggie, pal.
Anyway, on a serious note to all of us Americans: racism is still strong from American roots - it's only been 40 years since negroes weren't allowed to eat at restaurants that serve white people, or even ride buses with them. Even 10 years after MLK Jr was assassinated, it was still a brutal America for 98% of African Americans (wages being less than half of whites for the same jobs, difficulty of getting hired, denial of access to certain airports like Jacksonville, etc.).
For these cops to say in the report that the cop was hit by the driver, that the driver offered a liquor bottle to bribe the cop (99.9% of the time when a driver does that, it means the driver doesn't plan on shooting the cop) and then the killer pleads "not guilty" today:

Quote:"I think that if there had not been a body camera, that Sam would have been left with the memory of everyone saying he was basically trying to kill a police officer," she said. "They would have turned a nonviolent man who was loved into a poster child for violence against police officers."
Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
