Yeah, the author lost me here. I'm all for law and order when it comes to catching and prosecuting murderers, rapists, kidnappers, armed robbers, etc. However, I've seen FAR too many videos of situations where there was no crime that had been committed and no threat to public safety when a police officer showed up and escalated a non-issue into a serious situation that resulted in someone being killed, beaten, and/or arrested for no real reason. There has to be some sort of middle ground.
- plagiarist 3y agoThere is no malicious or unnecessary prosecution of police in the entire country that I am aware of. There's some grudging prosecution when they do something so egregious and so public that it horrifies the nation.
- mindslight 3y agoSame here. On the other points I can give the benefit of the doubt and at least see where they're coming from. But unless the author is going to list specific cases where citizens that also happen to be law enforcement officers were "maliciously" prosecuted, then I can only assume this is reactionary nonsense about the movement to create any sort of accountability for police officers.
