While I agree the bad folks are badder than when I was a kid, cops NEVER broke into houses at the wrong address and killed people by mistake, or shot a guy running away, like the guy in Atlanta that took the taser. In Pittsburgh, they’d run you down and beat your ass and throw you in the can, but not shoot you in the back when they knew you were unarmed.
How can you have a taser and still be unarmed?
When my dad started being a cop in the early sixties, he was issued a Bucheimer Texan sap and a bois d arc nightstick that was drilled out and filled with lead, and they were expected to use them.
The problem today is a subculture of people (from all races) that live cradle to grave on the government dole. They never learn about actions and repercussions. For any bad thing that happens, there's some program to bail them out. Then they have little ragamuffins who also never learn consequences.
Then one day an entitled little shit runs into a cop, who is a living breathing symbol of consequences, with predictable results.
