Oh yes, there are some top notch guys out there doing the job. Problem is, the newer generation of "me" types have infiltrated, and there are problems... I went through one of the toughest State Police Academies in America. There were Air Force guys in my class literally crying at times, and saying they wished they had stayed in the USAF, as "this is ten times harder than basic training." When we finally graduated, we had little to no issues. Today, the issues are much more pronounced, even though much of the training is still the same general principle. One thing I'll note is the police departments have accepted billions of "free $" from the gubment, and have also been training with the military side by side doing scenarios, and I don't necessarily agree with that. I completely disagree with the militarization of police depts today, as it wasn't that way when I did it, and shouldn't be what it is today. We had a local news story about a small town here in FL than annexed a part of a highway just to set up speed traps. Yes, the dipshits would get out of their cruisers on traffic stops, with M4's strapped across their chest. The local Sheriff was interviewed, and was flabbergasted over the Gestapo tactics. When I did he job, we were issued M16's for major problem stuff such as wooded manhunts, and yes, these rifles were required to be kept in the trunk. I couldn't imagine approaching a mini van with kids in car seats with an M4 strapped across my chest, wearing knee/elbow pads, etc.,
http://conservativevideos.com/2014/04/nc-deputy-flips-grabs-cell-phones-filming-arrest-marine-vet/ A North Carolina deputy confiscated two separate cell phones recording her in the midst of confronting a retired Marine combat instructor. A video provided to Photography Is Not a Crime shows the deputy losing her cool and snatching the phones, but the video directly contradicts her claim that she arrested Carlos Jaramillo for acting aggressive. The deputy showed up to handle a dispute between Jaramillo and a neighbor, asking him for an ID. He provided his Veterans Affairs card, a government-issued form of identification, but she did not accept it. When he questions her on why she wonât take it, she raises her voice, warns him not to act up, and tells him to put the phone down.
LAKEWOOD, Colo. - The widow of a Lakewood police officer is suing the SWAT officer who shot and killed her husband, the City of Lakewood, the police department, the police chief and several officers. James Davies, 35, was killed in the line of duty by another officer in November 2012, outside a home near the border of Lakewood and Edgewater. Officers were checking on a report of a loud party when they heard shots fired in another location and went to investigate, according to police spokesman Steve Davis. Police detained three people at the home and took them in for questioning. As police searched to ensure there were no other suspects, Davies was shot and killed by a fellow officer who, in the dark, mistook Davies for a suspect, police said.... All hail those highly "trained" law enforcement officers.
