You have every right to disagree, which I don't fault you for if you do, but its not like I am saying something that isn't true in some areas.
Those areas that have a lot of corruption are getting worse, while those who are trying to fight it are having no problem finding places to fight it.
Overall, I think its hard to make the argument that individual rights haven't been being infringed more and more over the last 10 years, and lo and behold, who is at the frontlines of enforcing that infringement? Police. Who is at the front lines CREATING the process for that infringement? Politicians, almost exclusively republicans and democrats.
If you notice, I also said that the states and fed are expecting too much from police, in general. I feel thats obvious by simply looking at the laws they are asked to enforce, and the order of priorities assigned to them.

Do you deny that some police departments seek an IQ range?
Do you deny that some police departments have IQ targets they don't want to exceed, because they think its a liability on the job?

Yeah, I'm the one with the bias. You know, except for the fact that I was one of the first people to acknowledge this cop was in the wrong and regardless of the issue you're the first one to condemn all cops with the claims demonstrated above.

If you think that, so be it.
I thought I made my point pretty clear, and hopefully the above clarifications will remove that opinion.
I have no disrespect or any problem with police who understand and uphold the rights of citizens. I respect the job, and the character it takes to serve in that job.
Regardless, I hope I have made my point, and didn't intend to "lump you in" to any group you shouldn't be lumped in with, as it was not my intention.
