I'm not saying that there aren't disgusting people like you describe out there... The people I was on active duty weren't that sad.

But I am making this post to get your opinion on the laughing and high fiving that police officers do after just doing their "job".

Do you not find this disturbing?

Help me to understand this.

Seriously? Are we disturbed by it? Help you understand it? This has you up all night contemplating your navel?

I couldn't even watch the entire thing, with that loopy narrator complaining about cops [gasp!] smiling. Is there anything else NY Resistance agitators can find to beech about?

Un-believable.

This is news?

Don't speed. Don't get tickets. Keep your noses clean. You won't have to worry about it.

If the cops get another gun out of the hands of a criminal, or a bunch of cocaine off the street, I have no problem with them celebrating. To me, this is something to celebrate about. Drugs ruin people's lives and the families associated. Celebrate knowing that the gun they removed from the street, could have been used to murder your son or daughter. So, yes I have no problem at all with cops celebrating an arrest because that arrest could have prevented a chain of events which seriously hurt lives. Also, a simple traffic stop never leads to an arrest unless you have a warrant or caused some other felonies in the process of the traffic stop.

So from what I gather, the system isn't broke. The majority are okay with the way things are. Forget the cause of the problem, just focus on the symptoms.

Interesting.

I'll repost this.

I guess just keep your nose clean, obey the law, and you wont have cops high five-ing your arrest.

Nothing wrong with it, many people do a little celebrating after doing something. I do not see any issue. But I guess social justice warriors go looking for any little thing out there to be offended by, even cops high-fiving and laughing.

They deserve to celebrate a little for doing their jobs, why not? Maybe if you had a fullfilling job you would celebrate the little things also.

WTF are you talking about? every damn engagement we made everyone was in party mode after like we just won a game, but near the end of our deployments it was same ole routine unless something special happened. Hell, Youtube is full of videos of this.

Not one single thing about the simple solution, stop breaking the law? Is it really that difficult to do? Is it that difficult to not rob, assault, do drugs, etc? Millions of people do it, but it seems inner city black males between the ages of 16-25 seem to not be able to understand such concepts. There is no grand conspiracy theory out there to lock blacks up, in fact, most everyone would love it if blacks would stop committing so much crime.

Exactly. I wonder why they don't think about that.
