Another out of control cop in McKinney, TX

I agree, but sassing and punching an officer in the face are quite different.
If you touch or hit an officer something bad is going to happpen and its warranted.

 

Isn't it fair to say that sometimes people just have a bad day? Including civilians. Cops should treat people with respect too, at least at first.

 

I've crossed good ones and bad ones. The bad ones have always been white and Latino males. The good ones have been white females and black males.

Now that's just in my personal experience.

 

This was from the same article I posted earlier....
"Pamela Meanes, president of the Washington, D.C.-based National Bar Association, the nation's oldest association of predominantly black lawyers and judges....acknowledged teens at the pool should have done more to comply with police orders.

"I think it's a good opportunity for America to have a conversation about mutual respect," she said.

 

And yet recent events along the shooting and killing variety have black and black female cops involved and out here in LA, there's a situation where a Latino and Asian cop are involved. I try not to cross any of them, lol.

 

Don't get me wrong I'm by no means saying my experiences are the "rule" or the "exception"

 

There are plenty of asshole black cops as well as asshole white cops and asshole Latino cops.

 

I agree but I think the difference here is the female vacating the scene for the cop to assess what is going on- at least in his mind. He can't speak to the kids apprehended with some girls screaming. Ironically, his screaming contributed to hers. Regardless, she needed to clear out and address any concerns she had through the appropriate means.
