I appreciate law enforcement, a lot, but this particular story is very sad. Can't we attract more intelligent people into the trade? Might bump up taxes a few mills, but it would be money well spent.
For every looter out there there are parents, grandparents, spouses, and other family members who allow all that stolen property to be brought into their homes. They become a part of the criminality that destroys their own communities by remaining complicit.
Families with firm value systems intact don’t allow recidivist law breakers to continue living in their homes. They don’t allow stolen property to become a part of the family’s personal possessions. They don’t keep their front door open to that kind of trash.

Money isn't the issue though.
It's vetting candidates to be a Police officer mentally.
You are dealing with Human beings.
Some people aren't proficient in that capacity.
How many of us have Police officers as friends or in our family and have thought to ourselves "They are a Cop?"
I can't be the only one who has thought that.
We don't crucify our police? We don't second guess them constantly, saying how things should have been done differently, decide that we know better, post their faces, their names, their addresses all over the Net?, demand that they should be fired, that their pensions should be seized?
Just keep in mind that the point we constantly do that these days is probably keeping the good people away from the job. Would you want to have a job where any decision you made could face the above? It was bad enough, back in the 80s, when they wrote letters to my Admiral, came into my station yelling my name.....but now with the Net, it is much, much worse.
If the good people aren't applying, then who do we get.......for a job that has to be done?
Govt Police are tasked with enforcing every law on the books, the unjust, immoral and shouldn't exist because there isn't a victim and they use whatever violence necessary all the way up to killing to do so.
Its not really a job for "good people"
Nobody wants to talk about how obviously edited the video is?
It's almost like the angry people here don't want to know the truth.

It’s interesting situation how these incidents magically disappear from MS media between March and today.
Did police around the country really stop brutalizing citizens especially people of African descent during this period of time or did the media cover them up as they all of a suddenly rooting for a globalized pandemic police state. Thus all of a sudden turn from demanding police accountability to supporting heavy handed police tactics. In other words they were licking boots when “surfers” surfing alone or jogging alone get arrested the past month despite the activities being vaguely permitted.
You do realize that article is about a different country?
