i hate it when cops go bad. it gives them all a black eye in the eyes of the public

Here is the link to watch the video. I somethime wonder how they allowed stupid ppl be cops. New York Police Department needs to check their ppl that do the hiring have their heads looked by a shrink. Only stupid ppl hire stupid ppl.

Having been a police officer here's my 2 cents - some when receiving the badge believe they are the judge jury and executioner. The ego comes out, where as this can and is easily be hidden during pysch exams. Polygraphs do not and are not proper uses to bring out and grade egoism and "enforcement entitlement."

Some develop over time, resentment of certain kind of people's behaviors. They may act more rogue to domestic violence abusers, drunks, druggies, etc. The nature of being around these types of people and circumstances on a daily basis can bring out these rogue acts. Suicide rates among police officers are very high, as is excessive drinking.

Policemen (and women too) are human, and are just as fallible as the rest of us. It's more pronounced when law enforcement personnel get directly involved in ill-fated acts and events because we tend to think they should know better. We don't hire law enforcement officers based on a strand of dna that exempts them for stupid or criminal acts. They are usually hired based on what they have not done in the past and their appeared risk level in the future.

And, I very much understand everything that you have said, xsinister. I believe that there ARE alot of good policemen/women out there.

This one just shocked me at how "openly" he did what he did to that poor cyclist. I mean, what could that man have done to make this office do what he did? Just because?

xsinister1x, Most everybody here knows my "pet peev". I can not remember ever having seen you post on any of my blogs. As a former police officer I would appreciate it if you would find my blogs, and post your opinion. As far as that officer goes, he does not need to be a cop. If he can't take someone riding at him on a bycycle, but veering away before any contact, what might he do when some idiot spits on him?

I don't care that the cyclist was an azz. This officer still should not have conducted himself in that manner. He was suposed to be there to avoid conflict and problems, not cause them. And, if the cyclist was in the wrong, how does the officer doing wrong himself make it right?

This officer could have grabbed the bike or something else. He did not have to check the cyclist like he did making him go into the the public. There are alot of wrongs here.

The badge does not give him a right to bully anyone. And like ironmans said, I'd hate to see what he does to someone who does otherwise.

babysister,
you are correct. we do not have the full story. the cyclist could have been ordered to stop. for all we know, that cyclist just ran over a child just before he comes into the camera's view. so many times, people just see or hear a snip of the whole situation. i cannot imagine ANY cop doing something like that in front of that many people without something causing him to behave that way. i do know as well, there are dirty cops, judges, politicians etc. so my eyes are wide shut lol! i see what the cop did, but it may not be exactly as i saw-the whole truth. before ruining a career, we should have all the facts.

lol

Like I said, two wrongs don't make a right. What if that had been a kid the officer did that to.

If anything can make the cop fly off the handle like that without following PROPER PROCEDURE then, he does not belong where he has to deal with people that make him mad. He needs to be sitting behind a desk.
