This is unfortunate, I wish we could see what was happening on the other side of that pole. Though with the increasing # of cop-related incidents going on lately these things don't seem so 'accidental' any more.
Everyday 2 more stories come out about these things happening. People should really be concerned about this- a lot of these people have been killed for sitting in their homes. Police officers in the US no longer show discipline or restraint. It's a shoot first ask questions attitude. While that works when chasing gangbangers and whatnot, it doesn't work when picking which house you're supposed to raid, or responding to a suicidal person only threatening to injure themselves.
This is frightening and NOT at all what our Founding Fathers had in mind for us.
I get 1 state or local police officer for every 289 U.S. citizens, using 2008 figures. Or, if you count only sworn officers, 1:425. Still, you’re right, I wonder what the colonial American revolutionaries would have made of modern police.
