Are they really? It seems likely to me that many are simply reacting to being cornered and threatened. Taking the behavior of the police out of the equation makes the answer useless.
- oh_sigh 6y agoA major part of their job is arresting people who usually don't want to be arrested. Yes, I'm sure some police over-escalate a situation and end up dead for it, but that's probably not the norm.
- codr7 6y agoProbably not? It's not like there's a lack of evidence out there now that everyone has a camera in their pocket. From what I've seen it looks highly likely that their behavior is a big part of the problem.
- oh_sigh 6y agoAre you the type of person who thinks the world is much more violent today than it was 50 years ago?
- codr7 6y agoI am me, period. Put me in whatever box you feel like. I honestly have no idea if policing has gotten more violent or if it's just more visible now. I would guess both. But it doesn't really matter, does it? It's still a major issue that we need to fix somehow.
