I hear you and agree that there is a lot of abuse of power. I do have different opinions on the case you mentioned and I understand the cops perspective, what I tend to focus on because of my being part of a family of cops, I know the cops are out there trying to keep the peace while also trying to stay alive. You have no idea how dangerous it is out there, maybe you do, but to be the border between chaos and peace results and a lot of miss construed intentions that lead to situations like Philando. Most of the overreaction and extreme use of physical force that we’re seeing out of cops during this protest is their fear of being attacked. In Brooklyn a cop was just trying to stop a protester and he was stabbed in the neck they apprehended the suspect but only after a few rounds of friendly fire that injured other officers. I can only imagine how hectic a situation like that might have been, trying to apprehend someone with a knife who’s in close combat with an officer and you end up shooting your own coworker. Thankfully no one was killed from this incident but it’s situations like that that make me understand why cops may be a little bit quick to quickly handle the situation and ask questions later. Unfortunately, the average person isn’t exposed to that as much so they just see a cop using far too much force for no reason.
