Police brutality?

[cee-dee]

We've seen in the news how people have suffered some sort of injury (or death) at the hands of the cops?

Sometimes it seems to be over something pretty trivial. Don't you think those people could have saved themselves any bother if they'd just been compliant? All you have to do is literally do as you're told, keep a foul mouth to yourself and don't gob off, listen to what's said to you and just answer civilly?

Also, people just don't seem to understand the difference between being detained and being arrested?

So, apart from just having a dislike of the cops, what's your view?

What on earth is so naive about expecting people to comply with the legitimate requests of a law enforcement officer? Whether you are fired up by booze, drugs or simple hate, unless you use the appropriate means of defence rather than kicking out and trying to terrify an officer what choice do you have?
Are you prepared to suggest a better way of policing society or are you simply being provocative?

The word legitimate is not in the comments i replied to and just in case you somehow  missed it, I already said we need the police now more than ever, good police that is.

Not ones who threaten to make things up saying who are the courts going to believe, on camera.

I wouldn't want to be a police officer these days I know i couldn't handle it.

As for being provocative, only if you count wanting my rights respected as being provocative.
