Can't comment but EDP's(emotionally disturbed persons) often are the most dangerous. They also often don't feel pain even. I have seen some of those nuts maced and laughing afterwards pretending to eat it. As for the guy who mentioned tasers..well most cops don't have em..we don't have em in NYPD. Plus they can cause cardiac arrest.
In any case I think these so called instance are increasing because people are deciding to make it public so they can sue, etc. Trust me its mostly about money.
The anti cop movement today resembles feminist movement..so it is good to know we have a bunch of feminist SJW's in our midst. It is family/friends that are siding with their BLOOD who is usually a thug. 'But he's an angel"..yeah we hear that all the time.

No. Their jobs are dangerous, but they aren't hard.
That's like the guys who say teachers jobs are easy. Any job where you have to deal with people in a authority role, role of shrink, crowds, sick people and SOLVE peoples problems (that they can't solve themselves), it sounds like a tough/hard job to me. Oh yeah do it after 4 hours of sleep in bad weather. But considering most can't do it or even pass the pysch test says enough
But like someone else said quit your Mc Donald's job and try it for a bit

Of course most of them don't have the intent of killing, its the reckless endangerment of people they are sworn to protect that bother me. As a law officer, they weren't hired because they couldn't find any other job, they were hired because they are supposed to be of high character and judgement.
Actually we sworn to uphold the laws of the community we work in... that means good of many outweighs the good of the one(SPOCK). The blue line is to stop anarchy and make sure society runs properly based on what those in power want. Hired gunmen..nothing more.
As for having better judgement..that isn't for you to decide. If your an accountant they obviously can't JUDGE your work..and you aren't trained to judge their tactics. If you don't like their training well don't use their services...MOVE the fuck out to a town that has laws that suit you. Same way if someone doesn't like your accounting practice , they will use someone else.
It is this judging that leads to the most biggest problem that was mentioned listed here:

Cops are trained and have an 'us vs them' mentality. If you aren't a LEO, you're a criminal. Simple as that. And 99% of them think that way. And there is no excuse for that.
To an extent but they don't think 99% are criminal..they just don't think 99% has any worldly REAL street smart's or common sense and at the same time you all try to be back seat drivers in a journey you know nothing about. In other words cops look at 99% the same way RVF looks at beta white knight SJW feminist's. So grow a pair!
NO ONE likes that. Don't believe me, next time you go to your doctor and he does something you question see how he will react to you, a LAYPERSON telling him his job. Most likely you will get the bad bedside manners they are known for.
Another obvious reason for the SIDES is when the shit hits the fans it isn't most likely going to be the whiny civilians that come to their rescue(who are running away) it will be another LEO. Kind of the way the Spartans trained..to protect their brother on their flank.
But tbh today cops are more afraid of being stabbed in the back from their own bosses so the line isn't so firm anymore.
Seriously go chat up a cop unselfishly and show support and I am sure you can get into the 1%. When I mean unselfishly I mean not looking for legal advice..shoot the breeze about sports, video games, whatever. You want to be treated like a human being then act like one 1st! That is who gets the PBA cards!
But as a stranger don't expect anything but scrutiny..because as we known it isn't uncommon for some to approach cops with desire to do harm(like hatchet guy in NYC). He has to be cautious..he doesn't know you. You have the advantage of knowing hes a cop and seeing his nametag.

They're trained to protect themselves first so that the department can safeguard itself from lawsuits
True..it has gotten to the point that because of beta SJW's that cover your own ass is taught in the academy. Because of politics no one wants to be liable. It has gotten to the point that cops are taught not to give CPR because they will get in trouble/etc. But whose fault is that? You guys who always try to get thm in trouble. You reap what you sow?

And most cops in the US - at least, where I'm from - do it for the power. They do it for a badge and a gun, not to help people.
Really? Then they must be idiots because EVERYONE knows that the dept shrinks want to hear you joined to get the PENSION. Seriously, that is the only sound psych answer that a recruit can give that won't raise eyebrows..after all it is logical and the reason people work to begin with..financial stability.
The doing it to get a gun you probably been brainwashed to believe it because they told you that..right? But lets think for a second... what else can a young macho guy say to a group of guys in a bar that will look cool? Saying you did it to protect property sounds weak and un manly tbh. In other words it is a self serving justification you are hearing.
But in USA where almost anyone can get a gun..your explanation sounds illogical. Having a LEO weapon is a big responsibility...who the fuck wants that? They have all the guns accounted for and tracked. Not very powerful! Makes sense in Russia where civilians don't have guns but NOT in USA where anyone can get one.
To back up this..most retirees stop carrying. I don't have my gun anymore and I know very few who have one after they retire if they aren't doing security.
As for badge...anyone can by a dupe shield anyway.We call them shields! Badges are for chumps lol.

I don't give a damn what they go through. Their job isn't supposed to be fun. But in the end, their job is to protect me, not harass, bully and brutalize me.
True can't disagree here but it is your perception that they are bullying you or harassing you. They have their own justified reason for the majority of what they do. How you feel about it is your problem and you thinking they are doing it to you on purpose is just plain narcissism on your part. Alpha should be changed to feminist SJW methinks... you sound just like them and don't realize it.
And no their job is to help society be safe by keeping order and stopping anarchy which protects you in turn. They aren't your personal bodyguards and you are just a number in the bigger picture. Sorry your mom was wrong when she told you you were number 1 lol j/k.
