Does the badge change people? Hell yeah it does.
But I'd say more often than not, it just magnifies who these people have always been inside. The perceived power of that badge, the gun and the cop brotherhood behind them gives them the balls to act like that. Dudes like this would be silent peons without that badge. Trust.
/explanation.
this is the conclusion i reached myself. no other reasoning for the rash actions of police all over the country. too many videos pop up and show outlandish violent and or abusive power/behavior from police and i sit there like...but why?
the worst part about it was that the cop read the law, got caught in his own bs and still said F it, ima ruin dude's day.
This was on NPR yesterday, charges will be dropped.
....but it was also pointed out how police can retroactively find justification for your arrest...so they arrest you, don't really have a charge, or law u broke, but then go digging after the fact, in books to find a law that they claim u broke.
