    So question. There are bad truckers out there. Does that make them all bad? Do you think you are also to blame for it? I'll gather your answer will be no. So why do you say all LEO are the problem for a few bad ones?

    We can all find tons of stories showing cops doing both good and bad actions. Because each individual is different.

    I actually agree with @gentleroger. On these topics, I usually do.

    What are your thoughts about the difference between the narrow and broad definitions of "warrior cop"?

    In most states a cop needs reasonable suspision of a crime before asking for id, so if they start every interaction by asking for id, they are actually breaking the law.

    I think that is the writer's opinion.

    Why do you think that is? Do you ever think there is a motive behind that? Many people in low income neighborhoods steal or sell drugs just to make ends meet. I personally don't endorse that lifestyle, however, I understand why people do it. Cost of living is ridiculously high, and jobs are paying ridiculously low for the most part. Some people don't have time to wait for an "honest paycheck." The pandemic should have exposed how little people actually make, and should have opened all of your eyes to a bigger problem, wages not keeping up with inflation.....and the majority of you in this thread, who label these folks have #####ed about that in our industry. You can't talk about what these people go through without walking in their shoes. People rely on "fast money" because "honest money" is slow and meager. If people want to cut down thievery and the sale of drugs, maybe they ought to look at what jobs pay....

    I just watched the Jacob Blake video. Sorry but that cop is a total POS. He made a HUGE error in judgement. 7 times at point blank range WITH how many bystanders in the line of fire? Very poor judgement. There's 2 officers and 1 perp. Just tackle and cuff him before he gets to the car door. Or take a step or 2 back, let him get the knife, then put a round in him. At least then the guy's on video coming at the officer with a weapon.

    What does the location I'm walking (down a public road) have to do with being illegally harassed and illegally threatened with jail? As for the dog, sure the guy that lived three doors down sold drugs, I think. I never asked, he was never was arrested. But again what does that have to do with the cops illegal activities?

    The fact that you believe that the victim of harassment is at fault whole problem.

    I like sports. I like sports a lot. I cant say they're overpaid. Their industry draws money, big money. They should be compensated fairly if they have a hand in drawing money for that sports franchise. We would like to see more common people get bigger money, but people arent going to pay big money to watch a professor lecture, nor will they tailgate around an educational facility beforehand. You're right though, they are definitely examples of what success looks like in America, but the term success is so subjective.

    @bryan21384 we recently saw an increase in minimum wage here. It didn't really do anything to help as businesses raised the cost of their goods & services to compensate having to pay higher wages. Or they cut hours and eliminated their benefits. Basically it just accelerated inflation in a way.

    There is also the channel Audit the Audit that talks about when officers start harassing people videoing them. And gives laws that the office broke....
