cops are forgiven their killings, citizens, not so much

[blue adept]

In the last few years I have noticed, as you all surmise, that cops are getting away, literally, with murder. Now, technically, they call it killing, because we all know that when a cop shoots you dead, there was a reason, and you are to blame, so it is not murder, hell, it's not even homicide. Funny that, I can go out and have an accident where someone is killed, and be charged with vehicular manslaughter, but if a cop shoots the wrong person, or his tazer causes you to have a heart attack, or chase you to your death because you have outstanding parking tickets or your lights are out,that is an accident. When did this happen? When did it become Okay for cops to arbitrarily kill us and only get a suspension with pay, or demotion to the desk? There are those among you who think I am way out there, so be it, but eventually it will get to you, and when it does, it will be too late.

Sadly I can see both sides to an argument like this.

On one hand, given the complexity and danger of their job, police should be afforded more leeway whenever an unfortunate incident occurs.

On the other hand, given their ability to arrest or shoot people in the course of their normal duties, police should be held to the absolute highest standard with zero tolerance for error.

For myself, I lean toward the latter. Just like doctors are expected to exercise the utmost care when treating a patient, even for the most minor or routine of procedures, cops should always go by the book and never let their emotions cloud their judgment.

Dream on, we live in the real world were cops will beat you to death for telling them no. Yet, when asked questions by the press, apparently Mr. Ken Fries can walk away and say nothing and get away with it.

Power attracts the corruptible, which is why there are so many bullies on police forces all over the country.

I think it is already to late Blue per it's been said every Hoosier family either has a member in the Joint or has one that's been there. Is it true that our fantastic States Constitution states an convicted felon can never in their lifetime hold public Office? See where that's not only going but could of been speculated where it was gonna go if true?
