I'm not sure the Nazi Police State path has proven successful, but it is your right to have such an opinion. Isn't this what Saddam was doing in Iraq?
It certainly is not a conservative approach. The police, by this one episode, has become less effective and have created more problems. That is not an effective way to solve problems.
I never said anything about a Nazi police force, why go to extremes. When I was a kid you showed the police respect, if you didn't they would teach you and if your parents heard about it they would also remind you.
When I was a kid you showed the police respect,
Why is it whenever many want to comment on our current situation they begin with that - "when I was a kid" . whether they be 20 or 90 it's always "when"
Respect earns respect & the end of a nightstick or 50 bullets certainly don't
As you can see your way sure isn't working
Do you apply this logic to other things? I can think of dozens of government projects/programs/efforts that are going terribly and should be changed or stopped.
Somehow, I don't get the impression that you were suggesting instruction and teaching in your comment, unless that means strike first and ask questions later.
Police also need to respect the citizens that pay their salaries. Yes, it is a difficult job, but they chose to serve and protect. I see nothing about protection when you are kicking someone as the lay on the ground.
If someone pulls a weapon on a police officer, I have no problem with an officer shooting them dead right there. I see no evidence that warrants this type of behavior.
