Why some people hate cops

Some people hate cops. Some people love them. Some people can go either way, and some people would rather stay away. Sounds poetic, but it's true.

This causes significant problems with the Second Amendment, the argument being "if you cannot respect the police should you have the right to own or carry?" I came across a recent video that I feel helps describe a good chunk of this problem. HTH

I used to respect the LEO,, but overtimes, i saw how they changed into something that is no longer beneficial for society and more like gestapo's for their masters

While I have sufficient reason personally to distrust and dislike police in general, I don't. I have had interactions with a few that are the "shining example" of officers that we all wish there were more. As OC stipulates, in too many of these cases, it is a "trickle down" problem. Yes, there are individual officers that deserve our disgust but the upper echelon officers that let those bad ones exist AND the politicians that rule over them are the real problem.

The harrowing footage, which is without audio, shows McCree fall to the ground. The officer rushes over and pulls a gun away from him, although it is hard to say if the gun was in McCree's handcuffed hands or not.
Excuse me, you can clearly see the gun being pulled from the guys front waistband.

If a person is hancuffed behind their back, i find it very difficult to reach into a vehicle, grab a gun hancuffed, stuff it into your front waist and point directly at someone.
If it was in his front waist while hancuffed from the back, then how could it be pointed at an officer? then stuff it back into the front waist, while running, all being handcuffed from behind?
If he was hancuffed with both hands in the front, i could see this happening, but physics doesn't add up. I didn't see Harry Houidini in the clip.

Sorry logan 5, your intro posting is about the cops...

your attached video begins talking about “officers“...

therefore...individuals in lieu of the Blue brotherhood institution

Ah! I feel so relieved now that someone out there has to enlighten me on what the video I attached was really talking about! <PLONK>
If it is an officer that is performing a headlock that is known to kill people, then I say that cop is the problem. If it is departmental policy to harass and intimidate people based on physical impairments (which I have personally seen), then it's the department. Though I question dismantling a department. You can reorganize it without destroying it like BLM wants.
