They were either picked on in school or they were the bullies. Either way they shouldn't be armed.
In some places the biggest gang wears blue, and has a badge to protect them.

Yes, but unlike op’s article, your examples the victims had no racial identity sooo... I hate when news outlets emphasize colors of those involved..
Just drawing lines. Irresponsible

Rush said he was called a racial slur once they got to the station.

I wonder if the body cams were running when that allegedly took place.

And the left wants a police state all the while complaining about abuses like this which would skyrocket if they had their way. Yes, they are insane.
They harassed the guy until it cost them their jobs, I don't think they planned on that to happen.

We can't make sure the police officers we hire are all decent people. So now we're going to give handguns to teachers too?

Bodycams keep a-holes honest, or at least accountable. (this goes for cops and perps)

Ironic, cities like Chicago, New Orleans etc. have done everything they can to keep them out or at least delay implementation.

And yet, even with body cams, how many times have we seen obviously egregious offenders walk away with no consequences whatsoever? How many times do prosecutors refuse to prosecute them? How many times do they merely get put on paid desk duty for two weeks and then go right back to the street?

Too many times.

Sad that this thread gets no traction, but the one about having black people pay before eating is 11+ pages.
