As to them being sneaker thieves, when someone invades your house, they're not advertising what they're doing there and one has to assume the worst.
I don`t see them getting "constant criticism" when they do their jobs but cameras don`t lie.

Cameras seem to be mostly exonerating them, really. Every officer needs to wear a camera for their own protection.

All I know is I have lived in SC where there is a Stand Your Ground Law and I know sweet docile grandmothers who carry and go to shooting ranges. The type of granny you would never think would own a gun. I do not step onto someone else's property unless invited.

The worst stories are when the invaded become a deceased victim. The best stories are when grandma shoots the intruders.

Exactly. Then the excuse of "the misunderstood youth that just needs officers that understand them" is thrown out the window.

Prosecutors who aren't really trying to get the indictment are getting them exonerated. The videos, have been pretty damning. Just goes to show, legal malpractice is more powerful than video footage.

I feel the same way when criminals get exonerated and are able to go out and commit the same crime over and over.

Just think. If one doesn't do the crime, the police wouldn't need to be called.

Yep. Expect to get what you deserve when you invade someone's home. If you can't handle the time, don't do the crime.
