We've had this discussion. Seeing as you cant remember I'll refresh. Dealt with the police before and they were useless so I can assure you I'll be dialing them knowing they wont do f8ck all if anything happened to me.

That is irrelevant, are you suggesting that if you disagree with the way an officer conducts himself you should no longer feel that you have the right to use the police service... Oh, sorry we have a conservative govt at the moment don't we? I mean police 'force'.

A weak reply and one that suggests a lower standard of behavior is acceptable in police work.

Police Officers are meant to resolve issues, not create or inflame them. If they can't remain calm whilst on the job then they shouldn't do the job in the first place.

The taxi guy says OK and the cop freaks out..
**** him, he's a dick. did he get sacked? hopefully. what a grade A cock.
No sympathy whatsoever for cops who go on mad power trips like that.

Police hate is not just a public relations problem — it’s a survival problem

Why is blue so easy to hate?

Power Envy
Critics will immediately challenge the thought that an armed government agent can claim that they are labeled or treated unfairly. It is true that we hold positions of power, but a look at our subculture can show a lot of areas where we as individual police officers have a very confined position legally, culturally, and organizationally.

Any power that we do possess is that which we mediate and administer on behalf of others.

But many people are jealous of the power and inequity symbolized by the badge and gun.

Media Coverage
This is not a media-bashing statement. They can only report from the sources they find.

When events happen, even those that seem normal and neutral in our world, we are often not allowed to narrate or explain the event.

There’s no ‘Jesse Jackson’ stepping in to speak on behalf the police. We all know that raw video and angry relatives and activists without a police perspective is bad news for the cops.

Dedicated Hate Groups
The Internet trumpets hate for the police with a constant discordant presence. An Internet search for the word police plus corrupt, abuse, brutality, etc. will bring up not just random rants, but organized hate movements and lots of attorney advertisements.

These three thoughts are just the beginning of the cop hate issue. Without being antagonistic or divisive, our safety on the street and our survival in the courtroom is severely compromised by this prejudice. What can we do?

Encourage Advocacy
There are civic and faith groups that are supportive of law enforcement. Optimist International has had a respect for law effort since 1965.

One church in my area has a photo display of every law officer in the area (with their permission) for their members to remember in prayer. We should seek out opportunities to speak on the subject of anti-police sentiment in order to confront some common misunderstandings.

These presentations should be fact- and ethics-based, rather than the “I deserve respect because I’m out there with my life on the line every day.”

Other people have tough jobs, they don’t want to hear how rough it is in yours.

Make sure your prosecutor is tough on anti-police crime, too.

Preload Information to the Public
Citizens are fascinated with police work. If you give them information they can use, they’ll pay attention and absorb it.

Efforts like the Hollywood V. Reality video can be very helpful.

Getting the idea out that the offender chooses how police act is a theme that bears repeated emphasis. As the Department of Justice says so flippantly “citizens bear some of the responsibility for the nature of relations with the police.”

The idea that police shoot people unnecessarily is unfounded.

Or maybe *some* police just take the piss and go on a complete power trip, like the wanker in this video? And some people will never accept that police do occasionally do wrong so they feel the need to film it when it happens... Just a thought.

I think the comment ' Do we cuff him' speaks for itself.

Loads of vid just like this are available every week.

Forgot to mention the vid was very graphic.
