Will you provide a scenario please?[/quote]
I see it when I speak to , especially the younger cops , they have an attitude , it would be real easy to get cross ways with them.
I think the cops job is to take care of the people that no one else wants to take care of, I do not think they are heroes because they are a cop. They have to do heroic acts to be a hero .
I had a Great Uncle that was a Cop in the 50s , he said when some one beat up his wife and was holed up in his house with a gun , you did not call the swat team , you knocked on the door and talked to the guy like he was human
I am a peace loving person with a spotless record, but on two occasions in my life I felt I was being baited by the police , it was very tempting because IMHO , I would have kicked the dog shit out of them . But I knew even if I won the fight I would lose battle[/quote]
You are correct in some ways. Younger officers do portray an egotistical attitude - yes. Not as a whole but any contact with police creates an opinion by the public, even if it’s a one time incident. Respect should be given by the police as well until the situation necessitates action.
Ok, even 5 years ago tactical approach was different as police are ever learning and unfortunately the curve comes from fuck ups. Civil liability, political atmosphere, department protocol, all have influence on tactical implementation. I find it frustrating that the public slings an opinion on police action without ever walking the other side of the argument but I understand it - I was a civilian first.
Sure - peaceful talks with any suspect would suit the situation just fine. When do you change your actions and move? When you answer this question - in the fraction of a second, with the weight of the leering public eye, with the suspect, your own and your peers safety in question, and knowing that a lawyer is going to armchair quarterback everything you do from a safe desk, then you may change your opinions. I did.
Please don’t generalize the police population. I firmly believe that an hour spent with me, drinking a beverage of your choice, would change your mind in many aspects. Oh, and I have been in it along time and treat everyone as I want my family treated should they encounter police.
