Topic	So my cousin is making the case that all cops are bad, period.

Law enforcement claims they're to prevent suspects from destroying evidence. I mean if you're trying to stop a dude from flushing an 8-ball down the toilet, you have a point. But is it really necessary to kick in a door over an 8-ball? Obviously not. No-Knock Raids when conceived were for large-scale, wholesale operations. You can't flush 20 kilos in the time it takes to batter down a door, so where's the logic used in the justification when they're tossing flashbangs through the windows of the wrong house entirely to get a half ounce of weed? It's the militarization of the police in the past 20 years that has blown it all out of proportion. The warrior cop mentality. Too many kids that came back from Iraq and Afghanistan with a soldier's mentality that went into the force. Podunk towns of 20k people that have armored personnel carriers and tanks for their fully kitted out SWAT teams. Police need a Stark reminder that they're public servants and the general public is not the enemy. --- The SBA has closed for business, we thank you for your patronage Assassins. ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:940198061] in So my cous...
