[@danagray9709]

I'm willing to bet in a couple of these cases that the officers knew of some specific story where someone in their department had done something they shouldn't have and were thinking they were being proactive. SMH. I kinda understand where it comes from, since these people spend time dealing with life and death situations on a daily basis, but that shouldn't put them above the law. This is why we need to take things like this completely out of their hands where their personal bias can't play a role on the complaints process. Set up a branch of the FBI who's sole purpose is to process complaints around the country made anonymously online. With modern technology, it is becoming harder and harder to hide evidence of crimes like this. Once the entire country is outfitted properly with body cameras, less and less nonsense will be able to pass.

The problem is that most of THESE kinds of cops never went to a "cop school". No academy training. No law enforcement degree. Nothing but previous military experience, or sometimes just a willingness to crack skulls thanks to their former "career" as a school bully. These cops are not people who give a shit about the law. They didn't become cops because they want to protect & serve, nor because they care about law enforcement. They become cops because it's a way to legally continue being aggressive bullies, or because they're ex-military guys that were too dumb to make a career in the armed forces or any other career after their discharge. We should make it requirement that EVERY cop either has a degree in law enforcement, or has attended and graduated from a proper police academy. The fast-tracking departments have been doing with ex-military applicants has been terrible for our nation. Military service is a good thing, but not every person who enters the military has the temperament or social skills to be a police officer. They're entirely different skillsets.

I do know that walking into a Police Station, regardless of the way you are treated, could be a very intimidating experience which doesn't help much if you ever need their help for anything. Particularly if it involves someone connected to one of them. Calling to notify lets say a person committing a crime like selling drugs or something could get you in prison or dead, depending on who you talk to.
