He was a child rapist and convicted felon. A drag on society.

It gets worse if you watch one of the longer ones where her shock begins to wear off.

It's disconcerting how many white people I know (one of whom is a cop) are immediately talking about how the entity of "the police" is "under attack" following incidents like this. Just today in the news is a Chicago alderman proposing to make anyone who attacks police or firefighters a hate crime, which is just absurd. The us vs. them mentality makes it very difficult for cops to disown their own bad apples. The public understands that it is can be a very stressful job with split-second decisions, but that doesn't mean every action is without consequences.

There's an idea going around (not sure if true or not) that police think of themselves as a brotherhood, and if somebody says something against one cop, it means they've said it against all cops.
Or if one cop does something bad, all other cops will back them up without hesitation.
If it's true, I don't know why it is. I guess the police academy is a horrendous ordeal and anybody that makes it through that is in the club.
I believe it's referred to as the Thin Blue Line

It goes back to their training. They spend a lot of time being trained by ex-military veterans who instill the brotherhood and us vs them mentality that they gained in spec ops. There are seemingly hundreds of ex Navy Seals who go around showing cops how to breech doors and other crap while teaching them to look at everyone around them as a potential target. Cops lap this shit up because it feeds their ego and allows them to feel like billy badass. When all you see are targets and hostile people you fall back on your brothers in arms because they're the only ones that understand how you feel. It's the same reason why veterans tend to stick together.

And frankly, a lot of it falls back on their union reps too. Union leaders talk up the difficulties and dangers of the job whenever they're in contract negotiations (always) and how the union is the only one looking out for them and how the politicians and the media are the enemy. It's propaganda and a lot of them believe it.

The worst part of it all is that it's never in the history of this country been safer to be a cop. There are literally thousands of jobs that are more dangerous than being a police officer, but all you ever hear is how dangerous and tough the job is. Because they believe this, it makes them skittish. Because they're skittish they pull the trigger. And when they pull the trigger, there will be roving experts who will be in the courtroom to tell the judge and jury how hard the job is, and how difficult it is to make a life or death decision in the heat of the moment, and how just it is for a cop to want to go home to his wife and kids, and how dare anyone put the life of a perp above the life of a cop. Ad nauseum. I guarantee all three cops get off.

also nobody is gonna mention the 7/7 attacks? Even BBC UK only put a small blurb on the page. Couldn't find anything on the main bbc news page.

Three Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) officers have been shot in downtown Dallas during a protest over shootings by police of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota, according to agency spokesman Morgan Lyons.

The shooting happened as protests were underway about two blocks from Dealey Plaza. Video showed the crowd suddenly sprinting away.
CNN affiliate KTVT reported that two Dallas officers were shot. CNN could not immediately confirm that information and it's not clear if they were referring to the DART officers.

Awesome, it is finally starting. I'm glad to see the race war happening in my lifetime. I hope you are all ready to be killed by the Chinese hordes.

It goes back further than that, it comes down to the black/white polarisation of American society and thought.

Rep/Dem Good/bad.

Me good guy/him bad guy

Him has a broken tail-light -> him bad guy

That and the general level of angst and paranoia, and the unequalness of society, which has everyone teetering on the edge of rage much of the time.

If I were black or poor and knew the Police could pull me over and kill me or otherwise irrevocably ruin my life on a whim and with impunity I'd probably be full of rage too.

Civics lessons for everyone, especially the PTSD traumatised 'roid filled vets who seem to end up in or influence the Police, would be a step forward.

I'd say the relationship between the Police and the public is a bit fractured.

Yeah that is sort of bizarre.

You have to give the shooter some credit though. He didn't walk into a school and shoot children or go into a night club and kill gay people. He went out and had a street fight with armed police. Did so well they had to use a noob weapon and blow him up.

British politics is lurching all over the place, Theresa May is now the unopposed candidate for Conservative leader.
I don't know if the election rules even allow for this situation.
