Has anyone else noticed the vilification of active duty and veteran soldiers by police and in television, movies and games? We took an oath, I still take seriously 28 years later, to uphold and defend the constitution and to defend or nation from our enemies, foreign and domestic. However, I'm seeing us portrayed as crazy, uncontrollable or evil.

The responses will vary here on RP. I can only imagine the horror that was before body cams and cell phone footage. There are good and bad cops for sure.

A little late to this one but I really hope that Veteran sued the hell out of that officer and the department that employed him!!!!

The thing I really hate about clips like these is that there's limited context. I've personally experienced "abuse" by the Police, and yes-they were fellow veterans. I've also seen cops put into impossible situations because of the fear of censure for doing what they must. I think a lot of it stems from lack of training (or confidence in the training they've received), lack of department/government/public support, and literally having no idea if their next stop will end with a simple, "thank you officer"... or a weapon being pulled. From what we can see, this looks like unnecessary and unproductive behavior.
