If people ever want them to be respected this has to change.
Get over it man! Police are not tax collectors. Fines are levied for unlawful behavior. If the person doesn't want a ticket, then follow the law.

You can suspect what you want but they sometimes lie. Until we can verify everything they said we simply can no longer just take them at their word.

That's falling on deaf ears with the anti-cop crowd. For some it is a badge of honor to defy, fight back, resist at all costs. Not sure if it is just ignorance or bad parenting but the thug life attitude is an honor to some people.

The problem is that now the media and politicians coddle these idiots instead of telling them they're wrong. We are a nation of laws. If Hillary Clinton would do that, I would vote for her. But right now I cannot in good conscience vote for her because of this issue.

Wanting truth and transparency out of those we allow to remove the rights of individuals is not anti-cop. I do not understand how everyone doesn't expect this.

Until reforms are enacted people are going to react negatively to police shootings. It's not that difficult.
