I don't know if they are pissed, but I do know they are afraid.

Sorry. I am not buying it. If cops were afraid in general, we wouldn't be hearing about cops shooting unarmed blacks in other cities since the whole Freddie Gray incident. No. I ain't buying it. We have been told over and over again cops have dangerous jobs and what they choose to do with their power is up to them; not us. They had great freedom. Suddenly, in Baltimore the tables were turned and the cops don't like it.

And I can't blame them.

You should........they are not the heroes you think they are.

If you're a cop in a rough neighborhood you may have to pull your gun. Now, if there are cameras recording everything you're gonna not only have to protect your life but also be so SURE that you are right that you can't be charged with assault, attempted murder or murder.

This is horse shit........where they are getting called on the carpet is when they kill for the sake of killing. Freddie Gray in Baltimore, the kid with a toy gun in Cleveland, the unarmed teenager in Dallas, etc.

Eventually this will make things BETTER. But, it will mean that better, smarter people will have to be willing to become police officers. That's going to cost MONEY and it will take a while....

Yeah and then there is that whole issue re cops and IQs:
