In defense of the police I hear a lot of people saying the police shouldn't do this or that but they aren't giving them answers how they can control a situation where their lives are at risk and they could die if they don't take precautions. I'm not saying they are OK to shoot unarmed people, heck no, I'm just saying that if you send 2 officers to control a mob of 20 it makes no sense!

You have said a lot there Krusten. Anyone can sit back and look at an edited video and then say the police are crooked or out of control. I was watching a video today where they say the police were out of control. The officers told the guy many times to put his hands up. The guy kept reaching into his pockets and waist band. What he was reaching for I do not know. After the fifth or sixth time he reached for something he was shot and killed. Turns out he was unarmed but the fact of the video showed that he was not acting unarmed. In a intense situation like this one never knows. But his two "Friend" Who were standing on either side of him and doing as the officers asked were not harmed. If the police are so out of control why were these two not harmed?
I can safely say that 100% of people who have done nothing have not had any issues with the police when listening and complying with them.
Just like 100% of people who resist, fight or disrespect our police have had issues with the police and may have been injured. It is all in how one decides how they are going to be towards the police.

Maybe not 100%, maybe 99% of the time. You always have to make room for the trigger happy or wrestler type cop. The main problem is if there is a bad cop the one 'bad' arrest made is the highlight of the news forever versus the thousands of other 'good' arrests that same cop might have made. Still solutions need to be given.
