To Protect and Serve or shoot, bash and arrest?

Ideally no matter what the situation it should be the Polices job to protect and serve but more and more news clips keep surfacing from all over the US of Police officers extremely rough arresting tactics regardless a persons age, colour or mental health situation. The polices answer to everything is if military style orders don’t work then grab the suspect and force them into submission. It this happens to require breaking bones or tasering the person, then let’s do that.

What happened to communicating and listening to a member of the public?

After watching LivePD I can’t understand why they tell somebody to get on the ground 30 times.

@Keepitsimple Because cops are too stupid to know any better.

@Keepitsimple Doesn’t matter, if you can’t communicate you may as well be as dumb as the guy you are arresting.
