Don't be a sheep swayed by the sensationalism of the main stream media. There are about 670,000 cops in America. Last year they had contact with 53 million citizens in the course of their job.What I mean by contact is giving a traffic ticket, a warning, called because of a service call, accidents, interviewing people, reports of a crime, sick calls, disabled motorist, arrests and others.

Out of 53 million contacts the Bureau of Justice statistics 26,000 complaints of excessive force. That's less than 1% of all police contacts of 53 million. Of those 26,000 complaints only 2% of those complaints were sustained. So .039% of 53 million contacts had a complaint that was sustained.

Last year 84376 rapes were reported. 30,800 traffic deaths, and 14827 murders. You are 7 times more likely to be murdered than be the victim of excessive force. 15 times more likely to die in a car accident and 42 times more likely to be raped. And probably not by a cop.

Want to avoid problems with the cops? Don't break the law. If you are arrested don't resist in any fashion. Fight the charges in court if you think you are innocent. The street is not where you hold court by arguing with a cop waving your hands around so he can't handcuff you. You have no constitutional right to resist arrest.  Yes, the cop has a duty and right to use force against a resisting person.

interesting numbers.

the problem with those numbers it that it seems that the rest of the world combined, would have much higher numbers than these, yet the majority of the deadly force and mess ups seem to be coming from the US.

That is what you say on here. Confronted with other cops in the locker room, you would be singing a different tune. 

Are you a fortune teller or mind reader now?

 I wish I had your abilities to be able to determine what someone else will say in a particular environment .  In the last year our chief came out with a policy of zero tolerance. If you are stopped for DWI,  and there is reason to believe you were ,  you are terminated ..  I publicly supported the policy  in more than one staff meeting and in several meetings with my personnel

Kava is soooo much better than booze.

 Drunk driving is one of those violations where most people not all, but most people who commit it don't set out to drink and drive but alcohol by its very nature impairs judgment ..  I've seen many times where someone will make a comment at the beginning of the night about getting a taxi if they get too drunk, and then when it's closing time argue that they are okay to drive.  That's why people wake up with 2's  when they thought they were going to bed with 8's.  The only real way to combat drunk driving is education and stiff penalties .  An education campaign that drives home the point if you wait to make a decision about arrangements for a ride home till after you start drinking you are going to make the wrong decision almost every time. You have to preplan if you are going to go out and drink .  And you have to know if you get caught it will not be possible probation and some money out of your pocket .  Even then we are still going to have traffic fatalities because of it.
 The fact cops, doctors and nurses who should very well know the dangers of drunk driving do it should underscore how easy it is to make a bad decision when you have been drinking
