Maybe we are part of the reason, it is us our fathers mothers and theirs that put police on a pedestal.
I spoke of cover ups, by the public of crimes of ministers pastors police,we can tell of them right back in our history.
Even covering up child molestations.
We fawn, yes that word best tells it, in he presents of police.
Then as they walk some will damn them .
And for a bad action a great one exists.
Culture needs to change, the law exposes police to abuse, slanders, insults,and a scar an grow as a result.
Think if we get hat treatment how long would it be till we snap
A story in todays goggle news,or was it the SMH?
Well educated American Negro father.
Telling his son about not becoming a victim.
It hurt, it should, hurt anyone who cares.
That dad had to teach his son not to become victim, an Innocent victim.
In that story I was CONFRONTED, see that dads wife told of seeing a blackman in her neighborhood,wearing hoody hands in pockets.
She, as I would have,said what is he doing in our neighborhood.
Then found it was her husband! walking home after leaving the car in for a service.
Hoody? in my area few who wear them are not casing houses or cars.
One day, if we kill some one for not stealing biscuits then we may kill a cold wet kid for covering up.

This link is to assist in understanding SOME Police even end up in prison.
I do not want to slander the whole.
But do not want to forget the culture within;.
Nore our culture, the turning a blind eye culture.
This latest death, if we all knew the full back ground, and the headline grabbing one before it, taser or gun, bring us all down.
If those we trust to keep the law,can with out pain lie, we are in very real trouble.

An informative site.
I think any problem can be fixed.
But first while we call for harsher penalty's for criminals.
I am one who does.
We should remember a crime committed by one wearing that uniform is still a crime.
And far worse.

Yesterdays Sydney death at the hands of Police may be different.
A police high speed chase car high jacking after a smash, at knife point.
And shot dead 5 shots in a shopping center.
It is different in some ways,and complex, questions are being asked why gun not taser?
Can not win can they.
But did he still have the knife, then I find no fault here.
If he, younger stronger was assaulting the older less fit policeman?
Not sure.
I am sure of this,if he was arrested he may well have got a fine or bond.
The issue is many sided.

Umm it is a worry; while QLD police in general do a fine job, there are rogue elements that 'can do' must root out to restore confidence

I rest my case

pepper I have not yet looked at your link.
But know only too well there are all types in uniform.
And that too many are unfit to wear it.
I actually do not think bad of police, in fact knew one with your name who was liked by all.
NSW has had 4 police deaths in a week, two in car chase one after and the poor Brazilian.
My fear, I just can not bring myself to think these events will be investigated fairly.
I think, know, a whole set of lies is under construction to cover up these deaths.
Some Police, will openly tell you that is true.
