I think a lot of these problems stem from the way that police are trained today. They are trained to "get the scene under control", which today means everybody face down and flexi-cuffed. Controlling the scene used to mean patiently explaining the situation and letting events flow.
It's hard to say which evolved first: cops getting automatically confrontational or confrontations swiftly getting violent. But I do know that modern policing has evolved into a cancer on society when it cannot differentiate citizen interaction with criminal interaction
Exactly. And they can't differentiate because they escalate the proceedings immediately.
As some asshole pig here pointed out, they are trained to presume the person they are about to deal with has a gun and wants to kill them.
And, as we can all see, approaching ANY situation from that standpoint quickly turns a tanning session into a murder scene.
Pigs see nothing wrong with it though, which leads me to believe it's a personality and training problem.
Finding so many trigger-happy pathological liars who despise their fellow citizens is really a talent though.
They are, essentially, a legalized gang.
