@CQB27 First of all, thank you for the job you do. I mean that sincerely. I quoted your post & tagged you hoping you'll see this at some point. No rush or need to respond. Enjoy your vacation & spend time with your family.

You were absolutely correct in your other post. In America, the police are asked to deal with every social problem that doesn't have an easy answer. Perfect case in point, the man shot by the cops at Wendy's in Atlanta last night. The cops were called because of a man sleeping in the bushes as I understand it. Lawyers & insurance companies have made it so the restaurant manager won't deal with the problem from fear of liability. Who knows if this guy was high, mentally ill, stupid or some combination of all 3. What was probably needed was a team of mental health worker, police, EMT & possibly an interpreter. But that would cost a ton of money. We might have to raise taxes or, even worse, demand the mayor, city council members, judges & bureaucrats take lower pay & work out of utilitarian rather than palatial office spaces. Police officers are the default 1st responders in most situations & there is no way any one human can be trained to deal with any & everything they may encounter. I mean, nobody thought of calling the Fire Department or the restaurant's lawn service to deal with this guy.

On the 10% or all cops are bad front, my training as a researcher sends me to the data. The latest data I could easily find was from the Department of Justice in 2015. More recent data is probably available, but I have to care for my wife & don't have the inclination to spend the day chasing things on the web. From this data set, in round numbers, there were more than 53 million contacts between the police & public in 2015. From the "wokest" publications I could find (The Washington Post & the Guardian) that had published a number, fewer than 1,000 people were killed by the police in 2015. Prima facie not a serious problem. Were some of them unjustified? Probably. But as we like to point out to anti-gunners, accidental drownings in private residential pools is a higher number & medical malpractice kills many more Americans. So I guess the rallying cry should be "All Doctors are Bastards".

There is really no point in all this. I just wanted to let you know that I consider myself a staunch individualist & strong constitutionalist (which I read in its entirety every January 1 to start my year, just like I read the Declaration of Independence every July 4) & I agree wholeheartedly with you that while bad cops are a major problem, they are also a tiny minority, I know it's not worth much, but since I can't say it to you in person, I wanted to do it publicly.
@Grunk !

Very Well Said and Much Appreciated

Mayor Bottoms fired 6 APD officers for using a Tazer on disorderly college kids. Fulton DA charged them with using deadly force for using a Tazer.
Another perp uses a Tazer on a police officer, gets shot, and police officer was not supposed to use deadly force to protect himself from deadly force?

That's some doublethink!
logic doesn't matter as long as the good guys loose. Thats the liberal mentality. forget morals/ethics, what is logic and push push push their radical agenda at any costs. divide and conquer the weak minded public. classic socialist virtues. Long story short they are all trying to cuckold us

That's an up armored Mini Van. It has it's place in very limited situations...that's why you almost never see them rolling.
SWAT - Special Weapons and Tactics - not a bit much but something thats definitely necessary in todays world for local and state law enforcement officers to have in their wheel house. Officers use of force will either meet or supersede the threat at hand, and guess what they want to be on the winning team so they pull up with shit like this
