CAUGHT ON TAPE- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JcP737B8pw

Police officer caught on video throwing himself onto moving car to arrest driver.

I guess thats one way to cross the street. It looks like they were setting someone up. No idea if it has to do with the protests they mentioned.

Attacking Police Now A Hate Crime- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFD_nMRlArw

Well, it looks like cops are trying to play the victims now. No one is stupid enough to actually attack a cop, so they throw themselves in front of moving cars. Classic

Corruption is usually perpetrated by those with money or power.
Money and power attract those that would easily embrace corruption. Unfortunately the desire to have money or power attracts a certain type of individual.
I myself aren't interested in money or power.
Having been robbed once and after waiting all day for the police to turn up only to have them do nothing I now find that I don't bother to call the police for anything now. I am quite capable of doing nothing myself so they are useless to me.
Except for the constant random licence checks that they perform and the odd random breath test I have nothing to do with them

Corruption is not always about power and money in my opinion, and the wages most police on the street take home isn't exactly 'wealth' either.

I'm sorry you have had some experiences that have not been what you consider they should have been concerning police, but I can't generalise like that about them.  I'm just glad they are there.

There is no point comparing any employment with another, no matter where you go or what job they have, tram drivers or otherwise, there will be someone who does the wrong thing whether you know about it or not.

Take care xx

You just compared one employment with another by saying all employment has corruption. I was pointing out that your comparison made no sense. If you can't see that then I wasted my time.

[esayaf]

There is a big difference in doing the wrong thing and being corrupt. A lot of jobs don't leave any room for corrupt practice unless you deal with money and power.

[tasfleur]

I think you might be misunderstanding my point esayaf, no comparisons by me at all.  All I meant to convey is that no matter where you go, what you do, there will be someone who won't do the right thing, no matter what, any place, any time, any job, anywhere.

Sorry that you can't see what I was getting at, but that's okay xx

[esayaf]

You are some what right. I was a Tram driver. We were forbidden to lift passenger's shopping trolleys on to the Tram.
I broke this rule on a regular basis. Now I ask you was that wrong

[esayaf]

Does that action make me corrupt. Most definitely not but I broke the rules. Not all rule infringements are corruption. That is my point. Corruption by definition involves money or power

What we don't know is if they had intel that this car or occupants was about to leave a car bomb or running a major drug run.

Good point, there does seem to be alot missing from this story. However I think it's more likely that a pituclar cop had or has some personal grudge against this person in the car. Seen a oppertunity and took it. The other cops backing them up is all too comon with cops everywhere.

I have to disagree with the notion that the majority of cops are good, decent and moral. That's just not the case. In such a rare case the cop in question would be killed or fired. Different cops are different levels of "corrupt and sadistic", but no cop is completely free of one or both of these traits. Because if they were, they wouldn't be a cop for very long.

Because of the way cops are viewed depending on the community viewing them, they develop this "big shot complex" It's this kinda sense of entitlement, they have to be the big shot, the hero, the rock star of sorts. You can't tell them anything because they already know it all. This "big shot complex" is a dangerous thing for a cop. who can basically kill someone and not even be subject to any laws in place to prevent such a thing.

This was true in the case of Dillon Taylor. Who was shot dead because a cop felt threatened by his music. The court rulled that Taylor never commited a crime then rulled the murder was justified. In fact the cop who killed him was viewed as the victim and Dillon Taylor was given little or no thought. This isn't a one time thing, it's not rare, in more places than not, this mindset of placing cops above the people is a growing trend. Supported by public buy in. By those who are quick to say, most cops are good people and or otherwise defend the actions of a bad cop.

And we need to remember that the media is often out for headlines to sell news, diverting the true story which we have no access to.

As we generalize on this thread based on the limited information we have access to, the facts are often being taken care of by committees of intergity however it may take time to sift through information to reach the truth.

That said, it may not be the case currently in a country such as Argentina.

My point being is not to be too sceptical at the work authorities do. 

There is such much done we do not see and sometimes a few corrupt that stick out like sore thumbs.

It is a human trait to remember the negatives rather than the normals.

I would agree fo trut, that the situation in America is very different and the hero complex has been taken too far. Individual members not understanding true policy and ego's escalating a do good attitude crossing lines.

I think it comes down to training in restraint, innocent until proven guilty.

I really like the way you put that Kopes, well discerned by you xx
