People convicted of police brutality should have to spend at least a half-hour in a non-lethal gas chamber IMO. Fucking assholes.

Gas chambers are only cruel, they're not unusual--the Constitution only forbids cruel and unusual punishment, not cruel and/or unusual punishment.

It will always happen. Just look at the kind of people who become police officers, there not the most level headed morally guided of people to begin with. But I guess that's what it takes to even be able to do that kind of work There depravity and misguided attempts at justice go hand & hand.

I think there should be an age requirement for police officers--definitely nobody under 30, and probably nobody under 35. Most cops are extremely immature, particularly the young ones; the last thing society needs is a bunch of fresh young power-hungry punks enforcing the law at their own personal whims. Most of the bad cops I've been exposed to were under 35, and many of the ones above that age seemed IMO to have at least some semblance of maturity.

The vast majority of white cops seem to exhibit racist tendencies IME.

Why do you assume that is a racist statement? I've seen the same white cops who treat white people nicely treat non-whites with generally less respect; how can an unbiased observation be racist?

that's part of the problem though. the courts are the arbiters of justice, not the police. a police officer's duty will never be to punish.

I agree...and am still puzzled as to why DieCommie assumed that my observations of certain (racist) police behaviors are racist....

I think white cops are more likely to be racist toward non-white suspects because they are in the majority and always have been. Abusing blacks is seriously an institution even on the squeakiest-cleanest forces. Cops of other races don't have such long-standing traditions.

In my old hometown (where, BTW, I witnessed a shitload of racist acts committed by white cops, even one against my own mother), the former police chief got fired because his order to profile non-whites was leaked to the newspapers somehow--this racist shit happens all the time, and it's sad that some people accuse those who remark on their observations of racist police acts of being racist simply for telling their unbiased version of the truth. It's not just sad, it's butt-fucking ridiculous.
My old hometown is Palo Alto BTW, you might have heard this story if you follow the news often.

Why do you assume that is a racist statement? I've seen the same white cops who treat white people nicely treat non-whites with generally less respect; how can an unbiased observation be racist? 
It is racist if it is pegging an attribute to a particular race, which is what you did. You are then arguing for the validity of your racist belief rather than arguing that its not pegged to race.
Why would an observation being unbiased have anything to do with it being racist or not? It doesnt.
