I wish I could find a better source for this video, but a Facebook link is the best I can do. Basically, it reports that you are 7X more likely to be murdered, 15X more likely to be killed in an auto accident, and 42X more likely to be raped than to experience excessive police brutality. Other sources of crime statistics that I've checked seem to bear out the facts presented in this video.

And you are more likely to be struck by lightning than die in a terrorist attack. Does that mean we should just accept and do nothing about terrorism?

It is only as pervasive as the media makes it out to be. In my 33 years, every experience I've had with law enforcement has been pleasant. Some people would attribute that to my skin color. I attribute that to the fact we didn't have social media back then to sensationalize every little instance with law enforcement. Everyone wants to think they are a Facebook lawyer, but none of them want to actually go to law school. Most people would rather escalate a situation because "well I saw this on Facebook".

Well sir, maybe mere numbers would bear that out as we have only 800,000 plus/minus cops to interact with 300,000,000 folks.
But then you can say that roughly 2%, a reoccurring 2%, commit the most crimes and interact with LE. So cops now have a smaller pool to abuse, as it were, and appear to abuse far less then they could (?).

And THIS Is Probably The Result:
Most US Crimes Go Unsolved and Many Victims Don't ... - Insider
http://www.insider.com/police-dont-solve-most-violent...
The data suggest that most of the other 54.5% of violent crimes and 82.4% of property crimes in 2018 went unsolved, though there are a few caveats to the FBI's data that are important to note — namely, that it's possible some of those crimes will be solved in subsequent years for which the FBI has not yet published data.

I am almost willing to bet that these two cases will turn out to be justified.

LTC David Brown, they already are coming out on the justification of the shooting. The problem is that the protesters do not care about the facts; they are primarily there to right previous felt wrongs that were done years ago. Apologies and constant introspection of white people will not solve the nation's problems, and yet that is what the nation's leaders think we should do (sorry about the diatribe). It simply does not make any sense.

It is happening too much and I think everything is backwards. Cops in the smaller towns and cities were more Mayberry RFD, now we have officers covering for each other. If we had an internal affairs investigation not conclude that police had followed protocols. This adds insult to injury. This burns in everyone; we elect leaders and they avoid us.

SGT Norman Cillo Well, the Marine officer smacking the Army Veteran and IA basically covering up for the Police. There is also that and that the department has had above normal police brutality incidents.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, Corporal Corrections Officer Mason Garrick, Deputy Braxton Massey and Deputy Ryan Biegel were charged with battery of an inmate and violating the oath of office.

“Braxton Massey has been employed 6 months, Mason Garrick 18 months, and Ryan Biegel 3 years with the Sheriff’s Office,” the news release states.

“All three have been booked into the Camden County Public Safety Complex. The Sheriff’s Office Internal Investigation terminated their employment with The Camden County Sheriff’s Office prior to the arrest.”

How much police brutality must you experience before it is considered excessive?

I work as a correctional officer at a prison and as for the many years that I have been in this profession I have had 3 uses of force 2 reactive uses and have been in about 6 or 7 planned uses of force all due to the actions of the offender, this has happened over 10year period and in that time I have NEVER seen anyone cross over that line of excessive force against an offender even when a staff member has been injured by the offender.
My Facility has a good history of treating the offenders with respect and compassion and when we are lefty with no choice due to the offenders actions we have security cameras always watching and we document everything especially during and incident, and we hold no grudges against the offenders when thing happen because everybody at some point in their life feels like they are backed into a corner with no way out. we just do our paperwork and document and do our checks to make sure everyone is safe.
its a rare thing when an law enforcement agency has to start paper work and investigate a excessive force incident on one of their own because any sworn officer can have a real bad day. thank GOD its a rare deal when it does happen.
to those of us who work in law enforcement even on the military side always, always be vigilant because when no body is watching somebody some body is always looking and vice versa.

I’ve spoken highly of both MP’s and the UMCJ since my time in service compared to civilian police, the lack of transparency and accountability on the latter is pathetic.

There’s almost INSTANT accountability if a MP { Military Police } crosses the line w/o the “Protect The Blue Wall” B.S. when dealing with law enforcement on post.

Solider or Civilian can go to the Provost Marshal General office and file a complete that will be :

A.) Taken seriously

B.) Will be documented and followed through.

C.) If the complaint is found to be unfounded, that will be addressed also to be dealt with appropriately … as it should.

D.) Depending on the complaint and how serious the violation, CID/AG will get involved if necessary.

Also Garrison Command & the Post Commanding General will be made aware of such violations by MP’s under their command.

Policing is necessary, police brutality is pure B.S.



U.S. Army Office of the Provost Marshal General

MISSION
The Office of the Provost Marshal General (OPMG) is responsible for the policy, plans, programs, oversight and budget for the Army’s policing functions, including law enforcement, criminal investigations, criminal intelligence fusion, corrections, biometrics & forensics, physical security, high risk personnel security, antiterrorism and detention operations in coordination with Department of Defense (DoD) and the law enforcement community.

3.) A Study of Police Offifficers with Military Service Backgrounds Compared to Police Offifficers without Military Service: Can Military Veterans Interact and Properly Engage the Public?

John F. Hussey
The Graduate Center, City University of New York

* “The quantitative research concluded that police officers with military experience are less likely to have civilian complaints filed against them for unprofessional behavior than police officers who do not have military experience. The qualitative data provided a positive perception of police officers with military experience regarding their ability to serve as police officers and interact with the community. Lastly, the qualitative data as provided by police officers who have military experience via Survey Monkey concluded that military experience was beneficial to their service as police officers.”

In almost every case of what the media portrays as "police brutality", you find the individual failing and outright refusing to follow instructions given them by the police. Their actions often escalate the situation to a point that is totally unnecessary but caused by them, not the police. Yes, there are hotheads on the force but those are few and far between. If you want to spout your rights, you will have a chance in court. You will never win when confronted by the police so just comply and your experience will be less "brutal".
