I think he is already on unpaid leave.

He should go to jail, but probably won't.

I think jaywalkers should be shot on site.

NOTE TO KING: THIS IS A JOKE.

yes they do. That being said, they have chosen to take on the responsibility of a police officer. If they cannot help themselves from doing this kind of thing they should reconsider their decision and find a job behind a desk or pushing a broom.

Unfortunately alot of these guys become cops so they can do this to people.

I understand that. It's a job I'd never take. But I'm more sympathetic to the populaces that are overpoliced and don't have government backing, Turf. There's a lot of literature, studies, etc that point to overpolicing and police harassment being a static part of a lot of people's lives. With that being said, no one makes a cop stop a guy for jaywalking in a residential area. And there are videos out every day that show police misconduct and awful acts. We live in a society where over the past eight years the danger of being an officer has dropped. Is that the same for the vulnerable populaces?

Unfortunatley this will probably be getting worse. People who used to aspire to be cops just wont anymore because of being under a high powered microscope. I have talked to many young people that would be good cops that won't even consider it anymore. That's going to leave some people that wouldn't be good cops take those positions.

I would like to see where you get there is less danger of being a cop in the last 8 years because I don't believe that for a second my friend.

"2013 was the safest year for police officers, ever," he says. "The safest year in recorded history."

In fact, in the larger scheme of things, 2014 looks pretty normal. The number of murders of police was about the same as 2012, and actually a lot lower than 2011.

The long-term trend is even more encouraging: On average, only about half as many police are murdered every year now, as compared with the 1970s. Stoughton says some of that improvement is probably due to better training, better gear and radically improved trauma care for cops who are shot.

But he says the numbers suggest officers are also facing fewer attacks: The number of assaults on police has also fallen, though not as sharply.

Stoughton says he's not saying police work isn't dangerous — it certainly is. And he also admits we may be seeing a few more ambush killings — cops attacked just because they're cops.

But it's hard to isolate motives in these numbers, and any uptick is probably in the single digits.

"When we're talking about 780,000 state and local police officers who are interacting with people on 67 million occasions every year, the increase from five to eight, or five to 10 — statistically, it doesn't look significant," he says.

This one is a little partisan because it was dealing with political accusations of the former administrations actions and words. To avoid a P and R violation, I'll simply say it's data and argumentation is worth reading as well.

**** that noise! I stand with the thin blue line. We have a world of idiots being raised and it's getting worse. Here is another video that went viral of a dummy harassing officers in a deli. This is the type of shit that would make me snap. I could of never been a cop.
