Why are we seeing a rise in police brutality? And why does it seem that police are bent on incriminating innocent people before they have legitimate evidence to prove contrariwise? Why are police so aggressive, dominant, and displaying disproportionate behavior to a mild offense such as overdue inspection, not using turn signals, or simply ignoring them........God forbid as though you had done some EGREGIOUS act like drunk driving or 20 miles over the limit speeding? Some act as though you have some illegal contraband inside your vehicle and have you already targeted and profiled. Are they now acting as judges passing judgment on us like Nazi SS gestapo agents in Nazi Germany?
My question is this. Who the heck is training these jokers? Who's training their interrogation techniques? What's their MO? Seems to me the only thing these jokers are loyal to is a paycheck. Because they are answerable to no one, they do whatever the hell they want. So is local law enforcement and the department of homeland security being privatized like in the movie "State of Play?" I mean who do you think called in the pretorian guard for crowd control when hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans? It was men working for private security contracts deputized to shoot at American citizens. Anytime there is lots of money in terms of lucrative security contracts you can be assured that values and individuals rights are repudiated. They will just shoot you for getting out of order. There is probably more money to made in domestic operations (30-40 billion dollars annually) than in overseas contracts. So is it being outsourced? Is a private contract(s) being made with the NSA taking over interrogation and wire tapping that is fundamentally restructuring domestic intelligence policy? And what about our politicians? Are they benefitting from these contracts even though clearly this would be considered a conflict of interest? Is the United Nations cramming their world agenda down our throats training militant storm troopers to deal with enemy combatants (like you and me) who are patriots? I can assure you that the Constitution and The Bill of Rights are not guiding their judgments, much less their training. Frankly, I think some, not all, have very little regard to our constitutional rights or our Bill of Rights. They have very little regard to the civilian population and some treat us with such contempt and disdain. Remember the movie Rambo when that small town hick cop provoked Rambo? All Rambo wanted was a meal......he was hungry. And yet this arrogant, contemptuous cop had no idea that Rambo served in Vietnam and had a congressional medal of honor. Did this cop show any respect for Rambo? Absolutely not because he was on a power trip and expected everyone to kiss his ass.
My biggest concern with all this police brutality is this: where is the humble attitude that should be displayed from an officer who is supposed to protect and serve. If our tax dollars from our paychecks pay their salaries and pensions, do they not have an obligation then to treat the civilian population with respect? And yet some seem to LOVE dominating and lording it over the civilian population because they have a pathetic badge. Their arrogance sticks like crap and it's fowling up everything to spreading fear, dread, and intimidation, to the civilian population loosing all respect for any law enforcement personnel. We need accountability to bring back that the integrity that lacks so much in law enforcement. Corruption only fuels this kind of barbaric behavior and it is very disturbing to say the least. The worst part being that law enforcement is usually given impunity even as their arrogance increases!
No country on earth is policed as we are. We have too many law enforcement agencies and individuals, even with budget cuts in municipalities. They are also too heavily armed and militarized. As a result, they are too quick to violence and sadly, they are rarely held accountable for that violence as mentioned above. The false narrative that exists regarding the dangers of police work creates an inordinate sense of fear and paranoia. Mix that with guns and too much authority and you have a receipe for disaster. Concerning the Sandra Bland case, no one should have to die because police officers are more interested in absolute dominance than professional and moral discretion which is all to similar to many domestic violence cases because the man must have absolute control and dominance over the woman.
