It is sickening. Seems to happen frequently. At the same time, it's not easy being a Police Officer.Quote from: "Twenty Dollars"
North Miami police shoot an autistic man's caregiver in the leg while he was laying on the ground with his hands in the air.Quote from: "Fashionista"
Some people simply should not be cops. With tensions running so understandably high incidents like this are almost unavoidable.....over reaction on the part of the police because their nerves are on edge coupled with aggression toward the police is volatile combination.Quote from: "Renee"
To answer Joe....not all officers are issued tazers and not all officers when they arrive on the scene, have back-up or partners. Sometimes a cop has to make a snap judgement call.....sometimes that judgement call is not the right one and it turns out bad......
Cops a human beings just like the rest of us, sometimes they make mistakes. Sometimes their brain runs faster than their training and they do the wrong thing. But for every bad decision made, there are thousands of good decisions made by policemen every day.
In my youth, I wanted desperately to be a cop. But in the current social climate I wouldn't touch that job with a 10 foot pole. Being a cop means you are putting your life on the line for public safety because you give a crap about people and the society you live in. They do it for mediocre pay and and almost no thanks for the people they protect. The good ones do it almost solely out of a sense of duty to society and their fellow man.
In my opinion cops, firefighters, ems workers and all forms of so called first responders deserve respect....They do the indispensable jobs that no one else wants to do or can do. Without them, society would completely fucked.

The pay and perks for cops here in Canada are pretty good I think.

I think the latest figures show that on average a patrolman in the US makes around $49,000 a year base salary. Considering most department want their officers to be college educated or have military service under their belt, that's pretty crappy wages. Then add in the possibility of being assaulted, maligned, or even killed in the line of duty and it gets doubly shitty.
I think in my dad's day (1975) he started for around $18,000 a year as a full-time cop. When he retired in 2005 he was making well over 100 thousand a year but that was after overtime, 30 years in, and at a lieutenants pay grade.

The pay for first year cops is definitely higher here in Canada. I knew a derrick hand that left the rigs three years ago to be a Saskatoon city cop.He only had a high school diploma.

Wouldn't want any of those jobs.Quote from: "JOE"
Policemen/women pay a high price to be who they are.
Look at Mr. Crowley. By the end of their careers, they're often burnt out nervous wrecks suffering from a bad case of PTSD.
