Very true, though, isn't it?

Strange, after decades of heavy handed, zero tolerance policing, decades of shoot first ask questions later law enforcement and decades of incarcerating citizens at an astronomical rate the result is that Americans are the worst criminals in the western world?

 

Almost sounds like it's worth trying something different.

Excluding homicides, it is much the same.  

Why would you exclude homicides?

Are they not violent crimes?

Because   guns so easily turn what would be just battery into homicides.

I agree.  That doesn't change the previous question or the answer to it.

But in the fictional,  rural, bucolic county of Midsomer, the homicide rate is astronomical.

Is this a comment about Chicago?

Don't forget that they ALL both passively and actively cover up for those 'bad apples'.

None of them will 'rat out' a 'brother officer'. 

And you know this how???

What a crock.

The cops that know how to try and de-escalate a situation (the majority btw) can't stand that ones that want to stir things up and will do what's necessary- it ends up making their jobs a bit easier.

For everyone that wants to monday morning quarterback uof incidents I'd love to put you thru the shoot/don't shoot trainers.

yup, which just goes to show that dirty cops do go down. And the percentage that go down because the cop working next to them wouldn't put up with their bs isn't kept track of-they are just fired by their department/prosecuted done deal. So the earlier statement that all cops cover up is still a crock.

Below just one of many examples where other cops took the initiative as soon as they knew about something.

Good post, tho I'd hope that even a crooked cop's hypocrisy goes only so far and would report that type of crime regardless.

You do understand that the McDonald shooting was very typical for the Chicago PD, right? As was the coverup. All the cops on scene knew exactly what had happened. It wasn't a "Shoot/No Shoot" scenario. A cop rolled up on the situation, got out of his car and executed the kid.
The cops falsifed reports, intimidated witnesses and destroyed evidence (camera footage from a nearby business).
The ONLY reason it came to light is because a cop who saw the video, and couldn't stomach the idea of what happened, called a civil rights group and told them about the video and what it showed. He did so anonymously. He did that because cops who snitch are in serious danger. 
After the civil rights group found out, they had to pursue a lawsuit to get the video released. The cops refused, and fought and even disobeyed the judges order to release it. 
They then charged the cop the day before the video was forced to be released. 

The reason this had made the news the way it did isn't because the way the cops covered it up is rare, it's because the fact that the coverup was exposed is. 

The reality is that accusations of this sort of behavior have been made for years (decades - forever basically). 
The fact that video has become so prevalent is the main reason that some of these accusations have begun to gain some traction. 
Without video proof, it's always been the word of accused criminals against the cops. And the cops made sure they all told the same story, lawyered up behind the union lawyers and the they got away with it.

Leave it to Hollywood to put their hypocrisy in writing.

I think that they must think that they are more important, and relevant than they are.

 

That sentence is clunky.

That's possible but what I also don't have is a city with strong guns laws with over 1,550 homicides so far this year. Heck in my area more than half the folks have legal guns and the guns have yet to wake up and go shoot someone.
