Nah, they wanna be RAMBO! America police is no longer fine with neatly pressed uniform and polished shoes. They want combat boots and outfit. Machine gun if possible, and all sorts of tactical gear that belongs in a battle field. They can't wait to toss a stun grenade and dive and role play as if they are military. It's really amusing to them, you should see a bunch of officers have their bro talk about a raid even a botched one, there's no ounce of regret that they broke down the wrong door and traumatized a family. It's all fun and giggles so long as no officer was hurt. It's the new police culture.
- jboles 8y agoFrom my interactions with them in some traffic stops, it does seem like there's a bit of power-tripping going on sometimes.
- jstarfish 8y agoWhen the majority of threats are otherwise unknown (pulling over a speeder? You dont know if hes going to quietly accept the ticket or if hes a wanted felon who will open fire in traffic with an assault rifle to avoid capture), it is all too easy to over-respond to a presumably clear threat.
- chmod775 8y agoBy all means let's also put every officer into 20cm thick rubberized suits, because you never know when you're pulling over a speeder if you'll be hit by another passing car. Actually that's way more likely than the situation turning otherwise violent... [/sarcasm]
- nitwit005 8y agoIf you're going to "over-respond" by shooting people, you probably shouldn't be a cop. You probably shouldn't have any job that involves holding a gun, in fact. A bad day at work generally shouldn't result in a corpse.
- chrisbennet 8y agoBeing a policeman isn’t even in the top 10 most dangerous professions according to the 2016 census. For example: “Ground maintenance workers” were in 10th place. http://time.com/5074471/most-dangerous-jobs/ http://time.com/5074471/most-dangerous-jobs/
