How about if you STOP Stereotyping the Military Servicemember and REALIZE this -- we DO have a Code of Conduct that we MUST work within ... and we do NOT go about indiscriminately killing unarmed people.

Partly because of interference from the civic officials who oversee them - law and order is a lot of what elected politicians make their stock in trade, and so interfere a lot to be seen doing something.\n\nAnd also because police unions tend to be quite powerful and influential with the public.

The sad reality is, the police are also our enemies.  To make money for the State, they have quotas.  They will actually stop a person going 5 miles over the limit, to reach their quota.  \n\nOften, the bad guys get away;people who are only slightly breaking the law, wind up footing the bill.\n\nThis truly is an act of war:  many people simply cannot weather a huge ticket.\n\nTruly, the police are not friends....they are money makers for the State.\n\nLearn the lesson: the policeman is not our friend.  They are instruments of the State to STEAL our money.  That's the gist of it.

It takes months and months of hard work, and hard evidence and misery for a lot of people (ie neighbours) before an ASBO is issued against someone.  Those that say they were given one for no reason are lying.  The Police don't go easy on someone because that person is a friend of a serving officer.  We deal with cold hard evidence.  If you get one, you deserve it.  What you might think is reasonable, may not be for the rest of the community you live in.

Unfortunately, power in the hands of the wrong person is extremely dangerous.  Some Police Officers are civil and do not set out to hurt people...they just want to help stop crime and make it a safer world to live in.  Unfortunately, there are the bad ones who do it because they can.  They should not be allowed to get away with it.  In Australia there was so much bad publicity and complaints put in about police brutality, that the Police Force now is under constant scrutiny....and the majority of complaints are taken seriously.  The Police officers who beat people up should be reported and if more people did report this kind of behaviour then officers would be made to be accountable.  What about the mothers of these young guys.  If the mothers got together and each of them puts in a written complaint, then it would have to be taken seriously.  If more people would complain about Police brutality it would get rid of the bullies in the Police Force.  They only do it because they can get away with it.  Just because they are Police Officers, they cannot be a law unto themselves and if they commit a crime.....and beating up a person for no cause is a crime, then the police officer/officers should be prosecuted in a court of law.  They have to abide by all the laws that we have to abide by.  But only when it is reported can anything ever be done.  Like I said, they do it because they can and no-one is putting in written complaints to senior police officers.  As far as I know all written complaints have to be taken seriously and the offending officer will be asked to explain.

im sure everyone has their own opinon, in mine i would have to agree with you. the police just have this cocky way of doing things...why? bc they wear a uniform. in my home town a few weeks ago two officers shot and killed an african american man. they were both white. they went to arrest him with a warrant of violation of probation. why were there two guys? they say he ran inside and hid in the bathroom with a shot gun. come to find out he didnt even own a gun and was babysitting his 5 year old nephew.... they shot him while he was holding his nephew....thats screwed up...

Sounds like police brutality to me. What was the purpose of being there for so long ? Police should use enough force to control the subject, any force used after the point of control is called excessive force and is against the law.

I am not really sure. I have spoke to several different police departments and very rarely have I been treated with respect.  It doesn't make sense to me. You would think that they are providing a public service, and they would at least try and be civil. I have heard them sigh, mumbled, and get irritated. Fortunately, I was not in an emergencey situation but I can't imagine if I was.  I don't buy into that they are so busy. Isn't that their job????/

I cannot understand why we have to pay more out of our taxes for these people when the money should be spent on proper Police Officers.\nI find most of those that I have met to be very rude and offensive and all they seem to do is pretend they are real Policemen/Women.\nAll we need on this country (UK) is a professional well paid police force able to do the job by getting out of their high powered cars and back on the street where they belong rather,than getting part timers to do their work for them.

According to a just-released report commissioned by the Pentagon, we don't even have the resources to defeat the insurgency in Iraq.\nUnless you are willing to rule with the hand of a dictator, it is always necessary for effective policing to be shared. Even at the community level, police need the cooperation of residents to be effective.\nAt the international level, no country has the resouces to effectively police all of the hot spots.  This is why, in my view, it is shortsighted and unproductive to try to unilaterally police the world.

It is everyone's right not to be abused, that is the law. Sometimes the police step over the line, most often the criminals do. Still it is an officer's duty to see the scumbag gets to jail in as best shape as is humanly posssible to deliver him/her. Otherwise they will cry and kick up a fuss hoping people will forget they broke the law in the first place.

If you take a close look at history, whenever the police started the behavior they now exhibit, violence, military style tactics, etc., this is how governments take control away from the people. It is called police terror.Have you noticed they now call us subjects? What does that imply? We are in trouble.Every time one of those bastards gets shot, I cheer.You can have no respect nor faith in an organization with the agenda that they now have. Screw the government and Screw the police.By the People For the people MY A.S.S.!!! Bring on the revolution

City police never come when you need them because (unless you're dead) your call is less important than 90% of what they're dealing with.\n\nCountry police never come when you call them because you don't live there, and they didn't want you snoopin' around anyway.\n\nGlad I could be of help.

The ROYAL Marines (marines are some fake US outfit..) Are principally based near Britain's major Naval ports I expect because of the history. They were effectively the on board police force for the Royal Navy many moons ago. I am not sure if still the case, but on board ship they always had their quarters close to the Officers. It would be natural therefore to have them based  near Navy bases. The concentration down South could be because our major sea ports for the Royal Navy were Plymouth and Portsmouth.

Rotten apples are everywhere mate. But i know for sure that the US has the best police corps in the world, be proud of that. A good cop isn't a good cop if he allows mal practices from partners. Internal affairs would kick both asses and the so-called good cop would be sanctioned too...
