My wife's favorite show is Cops, and sometimes I watch with her. I'm always the one to point out that the cops threw a guy to the ground too hard, or they didn't give someone a chance to respond. But I know the cops have a tough job, and we don't get to see any good things they do -- only this kind of shit. There's a lot more good going on than bad.
The media makes you think what they want you to think. How many people that hate cops actually had a situation like this happen? They only saw some video(s), and totally disregard everything else the cops do.

That's the thing about the cops.... they are supposed to be held to a higher standard than a Macy's security guard. The "bad" things they do should
never happen. This wasn't "the media" trying to make us think anything. This was the cop's own dash cam. As long as the police remain in charge of the public trust and are paid with public funds, every single incident of "bad cop"
needs to be seen by the public. Just because police officers aren't elected doesn't mean they aren't still accountable to all of us. Ten good deeds doesn't buy them a pass for a couple of bad ones. They aren't out there earning Cop Bucks.
