Oh please, I think the litany of "it's just a few bad apples" has been disproven enough already. I suppose the up to 40% domestic abuse rates among police families (4x national average) is lying about the reality as well?

I don't claim to know what the solution to America's law enforcement problems are but I have grown increasingly tired of apologists rushing to defend every police action no matter how abhorrent. Police are an important part of any modern society and you aren't doing them favors by sparing them all scrutiny.

I should not have to start my iPhone voice recorder and keep my vehicle's dashcam running during a traffic stop because of fears I would normally have living someplace like Russia.

If you do, you are the only person I know who does. I've never even heard of such a thing.

I do not fear the police. I have no need to.

Whatever happend to you that you feel you need to do that? Or is it only because of something you read on the internet?

You are shifting from the topic to police families. On top of that, you are tired of apologists for police but have no problem sticking up for the other side.
