You should become a cop to be a 'peace officer' as you say and protect and serve the people. Not to have power over them.

That is the thing is this cop and a few that were there all had a past of these kind of acts, just not as terrible.

Need to see the signs, this comes from the top not being accountable.

Still, no rioting. Takes away from George Floyd and all the rest no matter their color.

I have never cared about what color someone is, think it is great. God loves wonderous variety lol

It's hard to stop the cops that come from that "high school bully" archetype because both recruitment and retention for most police departments is so poor.  The very job itself requires people who are not afraid of confrontation and a lot of those types get off on wielding power over others.  Ideally, you'd like to be able to fire them, but then you run your department short on manpower.  

The thing people need to realize is that you aren't winning an argument with a cop.  If they want to ticket or arrest you badly enough, they're going to ticket or arrest you.  The more you argue, the more they're going to want to get you for something.  If you did something wrong and just admit what you did, they're way more likely to show leniency.  If you didn't, fight it in court, not with the officer.
