YouTube, A Better Cop Than the Cops?

It seems that whenever I start feeling that I should be cutting the police a break, that the majority of law enforcement are very humble social servants, a clip like this pops up on YouTube and I’m reminded of what I’ve read and seen, both in realistic fiction (The Wire) and real life (Oscar Grant, Malice Green or just a usual day on Radley’s blog).

Maybe some of the men and women who comprise our law-enforcement are decent liberty-minded citizens eager to protect the innocent. Heck, the majority of them might be good people.

It doesn’t change the fact that we’ve given faaaar too much power to a group that is far too fallible.
