#1 Militarizing our police was the biggest mistake we as a nation made under Bush. We need police officers, not soldiers, in our communities. If policing cannot be done due to gang and other violence, then send in the Guard and lock it down, like New Orleans after Katrina. Or build a wall around it and let them police themselves.

#2 Ditto OS. 'Guns and Gear' won't cut it. You've got to know what to do when confronted with an terrorist ambush or complex attack.

Continuing to engage fire and 'pile on' sounds heroic, but it can be costly.

#4 A nation of hundreds of millions of people interacting every day.

Each person now has a cell phone camera and a social media account.

Human beings are imperfect.

However we have a process in place to address every incident as fairly as possible.

The media and the politicians are using these incidents to furthur worse solutions that will not work better than what is in place instead of urging people to let the existing process take its course.

That is the real provlem.

#6 One of several mistakes OS.

The "War on Drugs" is another.

The ghetto culture which turned all blacks into potential killers (see Rev Jesse) is another.

This is disgusting and distressing on so many levels.

#7 You can see that there are too many bad stuff by police.
The problem is that Leftists Media just put the black cases in front pages to get votes fro Democratas including even cases where the police clearely is right. But don't let the most dishonest profession in world mistake you.
There are many cases of police stupidity.

If the story is correct how can you justify this?
Even how can you justify this as a mistake.
trigger issue? cop have a mental issue?

#9 This one is bad. Looking at that photo - there is no excuse. Thankfully, this incident was not fatal. The offending police officer just unleashed incredible misery upon us all. Thanks, asshole.
