Although there
is an obvious racial competent to the recent viral situations of
the over use of force by police, I will refrain from discussing it
in this post. I do not feel prepared enough to dissect that ball of
was, so I will keep mum about that, at least for now. So why am I
posting at all? I think there are various strains of issues,
regarding the
police, that
feed this fire, and I would like to examine them. I suppose I risk
unpopularity, but do try to bare with me.
Everyone when being pulled over or stopped by police should
be respectful and polite. People should know to keep there hands
where the police can see them, and people should, in most
circumstances, do what the
police
officerasks them to do. Just as well, they should respond

I've known
officers, who have been talked backed to, over a traffic citation,
threaten the individual with arrest. I've known cases where people
were charged with extra crimes simply because they yelled at an
officer. I've known places where this was a common issue. (Yes, I
know
crimeis bad.)
This is not okay. While, people should respect officers. Officers
should not over step their authority. Speaking, insulting, yelling,
or whatever the case is, like it or not, is free speech.
Furthermore, non-lethal violence should always be met with
non-lethal force. Legally, where I'm at, I cannot use lethal force
against someone unless they are using lethal force against me or
someone else. I think this law should apply to officers. By all
means if a police officer is chasing a suspect and the suspect is
reaching for his pocket, taser the person. He could have a gun, and
I'd much prefer no one die.
Now, I'm not trying to demonize most police officers. I do
admire police, and I have respect for the police. You better
believe I'm the nicest person a police officer will ever meet, who
is pulled over for a one day old expired registration tag. Still, I
think there are police who have let their authority go to their
head, and that's an issue we keep seeing over and over again. It's
a legitimate concern, and I think it needs to be addressed. Even
criminals shouldn't have their right
