[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2742024, member: 12852"] I don't know anybody who would criticize honest critiques of bad policing behavior. Abuse of power is a terrible thing and I don't know anybody who would disagree. The issue is when we often see a rushed assumption of bad policing behavior to later find out the cop/s didn't do anything wrong. That assumption that the police were wrong when they weren't actually is an attack on all police. Especially when it's repeated ad nauseam in media for days with no honest attempts to correct the record after all facts are known. That trend creates a phalanx of skeptics prone to give police benefit of the doubt when they may not deserve it. It's the boy who cried wolf applied to politicians and media regarding police behavior. I suspect the authors of all those "bad takes in a row" wouldn't hesitate to criticize a cop who abused his power for any reason. Strangely, it seems you wouldn't be as willing to support a cop who deserved it unless there were a political advantage to doing so. [/QUOTE]
