Number 1, yeah the cops were out of control somewhat, but did they kill the killers? No
Number 2, why does the news media only report the negative, never anything good. Oh yea except this week we get to watch the proms of the cast. Oh boy that is some great news that I just had to see. Give me a break, who really cares about their prom.
I do not remember seeing anything about the cop getting shot on the news, but when they do something such as this we will have to hear about it forever. Get over it!

I guess you would have to ask yourself how you would feel if someone you knew was shot and killed for no good reason at all. Maybe it''''s time for the police to take the law in their own hands. They arrest the bad guys and the judges just let them out of jail. And through the whole process, were paying for it.

I guess since the Court has decided about evidence and arrest, when the police beat down your door, kill beat someone in the house, because they need to " take the law into their own hands " your mood might change! Have had someone killed, (road rage) shot by an off duty gestapo cop over not using a turn signal.
I repeat the cops do this because they can!!! And your thinking will help further their cause. Welcome to the new King George II world order!

Yes, the cops are out of control in this country, but then, they always have been. We are just now seeing it because of surveillance cameras and video cameras in the hands of citizens and journalists.

Whenever you give power to anyone, eventually they will abuse it, unless there are effective controls to prevent abuse. Too many cops consider civilians their "enemy", and too many cops took the job because they were attracted to the power trip.

Better screening of applicants, better training, and better pay would get us better cops.
