Think about it if you carry a gun illegally and get caught, you open yourself up to all the accusations that go along with it. If you hang out with someone that carries a gun illegally and they get caught you open yourself up to all the accusations that go along with it. Not saying its right, but it does happen. Birds of a feather flock together. It is disappointing when law enforcement paints with such a broad brush, but when they deal with it on a day to day and hour to hour basis you can see how it can color their judgement. We do not live in a police state (yet), that being said if you don't want to come in contact with police and be painted with that broad brush stay away from the areas they are required to frequent to do their job. Seems like a simple solution. I don't see why it seems so cloudy for most of you.

QUOTE The offender resists arrest so the cop uses a bit more force to convince the offender to settle down in order to get them cuffed.
Don't they typically use mace or a stun gun instead of "force?"
QUOTE Said offender screams brutality and they have their friends around to back them up on the incident.
It seems to me that law enforcement doesn't go solo much anymore in their interactions with the public. I've even noticed that for the most part when someone is pulled over there's more than one patrol car at the scene these days.
QUOTE Said Cop, and the entire Police Department, now has to fight the appearance of brutality as well as the possibility of a civil suit after the criminal one, if it gets that far.
So true. Our society is quick to judge all others in a group of wrongful actions whether they know the facts of a situation or not.
QUOTE Furthermore said cop must also endure an internal investigation and the possibility of sitting at a desk, or a suspension, while the investigation proceeds instead of going out to do the job he was hired for.
So would anyone else who is accused of making an intolerable mistake while doing their job.

Yes, it does happen and if you've done nothing wrong, it's a very difficult place to be. Granted, there are some battles worth fighting and some that aren't, but we shouldn't ever compromise ourselves for another's wrongdoing, no matter how much others accuse, assume or judge.
QUOTE Birds of a feather flock together.
Not always...some try to leave the flock and the flock turns on them. Sometimes you can come upon a flock unexpectedly, or the flock finds you.
QUOTE It is disappointing when law enforcement paints with such a broad brush, but when they deal with it on a day to day and hour to hour basis you can see how it can color their judgement.
Judging people is not their job, no matter how much they see on a daily basis with the public.

Maybe it's cloudy because crap happens sometimes, no matter if you are choosing to be a part of it or not.
